[opensuse] slow LXDE
by lynn 24 Aug '13

24 Aug '13

LXDE clients joined to a DC running samba with a separate file server running smbd. All 12.3 Hi I'm trying to debug slow LXDE clients. One thing we've noticed is that the file server is flooded with smbd errors looking for files which don't exist e.g.: [2013/08/24 22:59:33.060232, 3] ../source3/smbd/trans2.c:5399(call_trans2qfilepathinfo) call_trans2qfilepathinfo: SMB_VFS_LSTAT of lynn2/.kde failed (No such file or directory) There are countless other file failures. These continue to be sent until I log out. If I log into the same account with KDE, win xp or win7 , the messages disappear and the file server reverts to inactivity after the initial burst of getting either my home folder or my windows profile. If I log into LXDE on a client which does not have KDE, the messages are still present. Following log.smbd and top is scary with the latter around 0.7% per client. That's unacceptable load in a domain. We've (almost) eliminated the DC as it runs its own version of smbd. The file server is a bare bones install and no one is logged in anyway. A Lubuntu client also behaves as expected. 1, Why is LXDE sending constant requests for files that don't exist? 2. What is the equivalent to log.smbd if I log in locally to a client? How do I see what files are being requested? (I need to totally eliminates cifs from this).

Re: [opensuse] nmbd does not start at boot in openSUSE 12.2

Anton, I haven't received your answer in my mailbox, so I am copy-pasting it from the web-site: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Istvan Gabor said the following on 08/03/2013 06:12 PM: nmbd demon does not start when my openSUSE 12.2 system is booted. smbd demon starts normally. This is openSUSE 12.2 with up to date kernel and samba packages, using systemd init. # ps -e|grep -i smb 3082 ? 00:00:00 smbd 3230 ? 00:00:00 smbd lnx:~ # ps -e|grep -i nmb lnx:~ # How can I fix this? If you are using systemd then the daemons start via .service descriptions. Grep around to see what the one that starts smbd contains and see if there is one that isn't enables for nmbd and winbindd. Try starting the manually as described in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=147305 If that works then enable them (as described in many other threads here), but do check dependencies (and required files, libraries, directories etc) and the order they should come up. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unfortunately it did not help. 1.

If you don't understand cron jobs, then you shouldn't be messing with them anyway, regardless of what interface you work through. The current way is the best way, because those who don't know what they're looking at will shy away from messing with crontab and related files. Dumbing-down crucial administration tasks is NOT a win -- because it makes it easy for the under-informed to fool themselves into thinking they know what they're doing. It's purely for ease of administration as I am the only one at my place of work who understands crontab. If there was a nice YaST plugin that just showed when the tasks run and what they run then my colleagues can troubleshoot in my absence. I was thinking of something like FreeNAS has in it's web interface, you click a'dd cronjob', click checkboxes and type in time(s) for when you want it to run then type a command. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 12.3 / 12.2 User Quotas
by Paul Groves 23 Aug '13

23 Aug '13

Hi all, I am trying to set up user quotas for my ftp server so I can control how much space each ftp user gets. I followed the manual* and went to partitioner and checked 'Enable Quota' on the partition containing the home directories I then performed a reboot and went to YaST > Security and Users > User and Group Management > Users selected a user and clicked Edit I then went to the plugin tab and tried to launch 'Manage Disk Quota' but receive the error 'Quota is not enabled on your system. Enable quota support in the partition settings module.' I have not found any other instructions in the OpenSUSE manual and I have tried with OpenSUSE 12.2 and 12.3 both manuals* have identical information on quotas. So far my SUSE experience has been hindered by poor documentation, most of the setup I have had to guess with trial and error (thank goodness for VM snapshots :D). Please can anyone advise how to configure quotas? *OpenSUSE Startup Manual Chapter 10.3 page 134 Some info on my system: The users home directories are in /srv/ftp/users (the reason for this is that the FTP server does not support ACLs and the FTP server does not work when i set to the home directory as I have to set owner to FTP instead of the user, therefore they cannot access their files. I cannot set them a group because the owner group is 'ftpadmins' and I need this for admin access to all users home directories). /srv is a seperate partition FTP access is working fine at present and users can rwx all their files as well as admins rwx'ing' everyones files I have minimal server installation (no gui) in a virtual machine in VirtualBox -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] What is this nonsense?!
by Basil Chupin 22 Aug '13

22 Aug '13

What is going on with latest updates to 12.3? Suddenly I am having a heck of a time logging into 12.3 because the grub menu suddenly decided not to recognise that I have 12.3 installed on /dev/sda5 and this all came about because I upgraded to the latest stable kernel and had to run grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg. When I did try to run grub2-mkconfig a few days ago I got an error message which I didn't pay attention to and since then I have had to use my 12.2 installation because 12.2 is not accessible. (It's only now that I have found the time to attend to this problem as other personal affairs have been taking up my time.) To cut a long story short I finally (using smoke and mirrors) WAS able to boot into 12.3 a few minutes ago and when I went to run grub2-mkconfig I got this error message: linux-67gf:~ # mount -t ext4 /dev/sda1 /mnt/btldr linux-67gf:~ # grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg /usr/bin/grub2-editenv: error: cannot open `/boot/grub2/grubenv.new': No such file or directory. /usr/sbin/grub2-mkconfig: line 253: /boot/grub2/grub.cfg.new: No such file or directory What the heck is this all about? I looked in /boot/grub2 and there IS a file called grubenv but not grubenv.new. What is needed to get out of this pit, please? BTW, I login into 12.2 and do grub2-mkconfig etc and this process recognises my 12.3 installation on sda5 but when the grub menu is displayed 12.3 is MISSING. I need to get this grub2-mkconfig working because I need to pick-up the new installation of Windows 7 Pro (and NO it is not installed on the same drive - it's installed on a partition on /dev/sdb and booting into 12.2 I can access Win 7).

[opensuse] 12.3 Moving SQL and phpmyadmin databases and settings
by Paul Groves 22 Aug '13

22 Aug '13

Hi all, I was wondering if it is possible to change where mariadb ad phpmyadmin saves its data to my second partition. the phpmyadmin files are already on the separate partition but I was unsure if it saved any data elsewhere that would be required to restore it? I am using a virtual machine and this would make it a lot easier to restore if the server failed because even if the '/' partition was corrupted or non-restorable then the server can quickly be re-configured with my notes then I can restore the second partition (separate Virtual HDD). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

I have configured my openSUSE 11.4 firewall with a VLAN interface and a different subnet from my main one.

[opensuse] grub2 enigma
by Basil Chupin 22 Aug '13

22 Aug '13

Can anyone please provide an answer or suggest some doc. to read (but NOT a manual :-( ) which would provide me with the answer. Searching the web has not really provided an answer. The problem is with grub2. To begin: I have 2 HDDs - sda and sdb - both sitting in mobile racks. I have the following systems installed on these 2 drives: sda3 openSUSE 12.2 sda5 opensuse 12.3 sda6 Tumbleweed (12.3) sda7 Ubuntu 13.04 sda8 openSUSE 13.1 Milestone #4 sdb1 Windows #7 In addition I have a separate bootloader which contained/contains grub.cfg which will boot (or did boot) all and any of the above. This bootloader is sitting in sda1 and I mount it manually in /mnt/btldr when required. I orginally installed 12.2 on sda3 and then installed Windows on sdb1 (to do this Win installation I removed sda from the box and Windows was able to install its bootloader in the MBR for sdb). After this was done I mounted sda1 - the btldr partition - and ran: grub2-install --root-directory=/mnt/btldr /dev/sda followed by (2) grub2-mkconfig -o /mnt/btldr/boot/grub2/grub.cfg to populate the grub.cfg in the /btldr/boot/grub2/. This was working fine for months even after I added 12.3, Tumbleweed, Ubuntu, and Milestone 1, 2, and 3. However, something went dodgy and now if I boot into 12.2 and run (2) above oS 12.3 on sda5 is not recognised in the btldr; yet running grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg in 12.2 does see sda5 - but is left out in btldr. The "reverse" happens if I manage (using smoke and mirrors) to boot into 12.3 and then 12.2 (on sda3) is omitted from btldr when I run (2). I have used the Ubuntu's Boot Rescue Disk and while the first time I used it (a couple of weeks ago) it recognised all of the systems but when I ran it again earlier tonight it did not recognise 12.3 on sda5. I really wish I knew what to do to get back to where I was before this dodgy-thing struck and therefore be able to boot into all of the systems I have currently installed. So if anyone can throw some light on how to overcome this dilemma please advise me. (The inability to create the correct grub menu by running grub2-mkconfig -o /mnt/btldr/boot/grub2/grub.cfg is preventing the upgrading of new versions of the kernel because I need to boot into level 3 in order to compile the nvidia driver for the new kernel.)

[opensuse] /etc/passwd compulsory fields

Hi Apart from the obvious, passwd (5) doesn't say which fields are compulsory. I see that my local login is: lynn:x:1000:100::/home/lynn:/bin/bash and my login to AD is: lynn2:*:3000023:20513:lynn2:/home/users/lynn2:/bin/bash I need a domain user like a squashed root on NFS, so I made a user with just uidNumber and gidNumber: cifsuser:*:3000020:20513 It seems to work fine. cifsuser cannot authenticate but I see that ALL the entries in /etc/passwd on 12.3 installs have home directory and login shell populated. Question Is there anything I've overlooked? _Should_ I specify the 12.3 fields for cifsuser too?

[opensuse] supported linuxrc install= scheme missing?
by Felix Miata 20 Aug '13

20 Aug '13

http://en.opensuse.org/Linuxrc lists: Supported schemes: cd (or cdrom) # CD-ROM hd (or harddisk) # local hard disk disk # any local disk device (CD-ROM, hard disk or floppy) file # local file floppy # floppy (better use disk) ftp # ftp server http # http server nfs # nfs server slp # use SLP to get the real URL smb (or cifs) # Windows share tftp # tftp server Which one of those applies to a 12.3 DVD iso hosted on NFS? Nothing I've tried works, forcing me to HTTP install, aka download what's already been downloaded, wasting time and bandwidth. I would expect ...install=nfs://192.168.###.###/isos/openSUSE-12.3-DVD-i586.iso udev.rule="mac=00:e0:4d:8d:66:56,name=eth0" hostip=192.168.###.###/24 gateway=192.168.###.### nameserver=###... udev.rule="mac=##:##:##:##:##:##,name=eth0"... to work, but the installer "could not find the openSUSE 12.3 repository" (with or without the udev.... part). -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse] Putty & certificates
by Koenraad Lelong 20 Aug '13

Hin, I had Putty working OK with certificates, but I seem to remember a recent update. Now Putty does not work any more with certificates. Does anyone experience this ? I'm running OS12.2. qPutty works, but there are some problems with the rendering of the screen.

[opensuse] Firefox & Moonlight
by Koenraad Lelong 20 Aug '13

20 Aug '13

Hi, Is anyone able to use Moonlight/Silverlight in Firefox ? I need this for an application. I installed a Moonlight add-on, but Firefox says it's uncompatible with Firefox 23.0 (and a number of previous versions). There is plugin installed, but that does not do it's job (I think). I found a solution by disabling version checks of add-ons, then the "incompatible" add-on works fine. I tested this with the http://bubblemark.com/ site. Unfortunately, the application I need Silverlight for seems not to work with this setup, although now it does not ask to install Silverlight. Any comments ? Thanks.

[opensuse] change of monitor setting in 12.3
by C. Brouerius van Nidek 20 Aug '13

In the time of sax, I would have no problem changing the settings of a monotor. Alas, sax is not more. As my normal 17 " monitor is under repair, I got a 15 " monitor to keep my machine running. Thismonitor, a Compaq S5500 should run native 1024x768at 60Hz. Vert.RR 54Hz. I plugged the monitor in and ended up with 640x480 and as the monitor reports H:31.4K and V:60Hz which is to course for normal use. Where and how could I change the monitor settings? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] networkmanager disconnecting
by Mark Misulich 19 Aug '13

19 Aug '13

Hi, I am staying in a hotel at the moment and was being disconnected from the hotel's wifi network about every thirty seconds or so. I had been connected for about three hours, then I started to be disconnected continually. This went on for about an hour, till I restarted the computer. Then I was able to log onto the wifi net automatically again during startup. I looked up the /var/log/networkmanager logs to see if there was something obvious that was causing the disconnect and failure to log in again. But I only see that it shows that I am trying to connect and being disconnected. I will post some of the log below to see if someone else can find a reason for the problem that I don't see. 2013-08-19T16:49:52.393850-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> Activation (wlan0) Stage 5 of 5 (IPv4 Configure Commit) scheduled... 2013-08-19T16:49:52.394504-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> Activation (wlan0) Stage 5 of 5 (IPv4 Commit) started... 2013-08-19T16:49:53.396323-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): device state change: ip-config -> activated (reason 'none') [70 100 0] 2013-08-19T16:49:53.545642-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): roamed from BSSID 00:1E:13:1B:1F:41 (hhonors) to 00:1D:A2:C9:BA:71 (hhonors) 2013-08-19T16:49:53.573371-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> Clearing nscd hosts cache. 2013-08-19T16:49:53.577020-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> Policy set 'hhonors' (wlan0) as default for IPv4 routing and DNS. 2013-08-19T16:49:53.577987-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> Activation (wlan0) successful, device activated. 2013-08-19T16:49:53.581046-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> Activation (wlan0) Stage 5 of 5 (IPv4 Commit) complete. 2013-08-19T16:49:54.182781-04:00 linux-z6ef nm-dispatcher.action: Script '/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/nfs' exited with error status 2. 2013-08-19T16:52:14.551796-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: completed -> authenticating 2013-08-19T16:52:14.565314-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: authenticating -> completed 2013-08-19T16:52:17.891175-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): roamed from BSSID 00:1D:A2:C9:BA:71 (hhonors) to 00:1D:A2:CA:05:A1 (hhonors) 2013-08-19T16:52:47.887759-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <warn> nl_recvmsgs() error: (-33) Dump inconsistency detected, interrupted 2013-08-19T16:53:37.332108-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: completed -> authenticating 2013-08-19T16:53:37.802272-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: authenticating -> disconnected 2013-08-19T16:53:37.902176-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: disconnected -> scanning 2013-08-19T16:53:38.128616-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: scanning -> disconnected 2013-08-19T16:53:38.237994-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: disconnected -> scanning 2013-08-19T16:53:38.458384-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: scanning -> authenticating 2013-08-19T16:53:38.461980-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: authenticating -> associating 2013-08-19T16:53:38.481769-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): supplicant interface state: associating -> completed 2013-08-19T16:53:41.892529-04:00 linux-z6ef NetworkManager[479]: <info> (wlan0): roamed from BSSID 00:1D:A2:CA:05:A1 (hhonors) to 00:19:A9:B4:AC:31 (hhonors) If more of the log would help, I can post more.

If you are just capturing a range of numbers or letters, you can even use: {1..3} with the added dots. Useful if you need a wide range and don't want to make a large comma separated list. $ echo {5..10} 5 6 7 8 9 10 $ echo {d..g} d e f g > On Tue, Aug 13, 2013 at 6:35 PM, Ciro Iriarte <cyruspy(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > Thanks! > > 2013/8/13 Brian K.

[opensuse] Serving photo's to a tablet
by Koenraad Lelong 19 Aug '13

19 Aug '13

Hi, I was wondering how I could serve photo's and such to a tablet/smartphone. I know I can make a slide-show and upload that to a webserver, or install a CMS and use that to show the photo's, but are there more easy ways ? Mind you, it's only for home-use. No access from the Internet, although that could be just a firewall configuration. Of course, the server I want to use runs Opensuse. Thanks for any thoughts.
