[opensuse] Systemd Question -Default.Target
by Upscope 15 Aug '13

15 Aug '13

I have been having issue on boot (12.3 see signature below) where it goes to a command line instead of the graphical interface, after doing an update in June. If I put a 5 at the end of the Linux line in grub2 menu, it goes to the graphical target. I finally think I found it today. /etc/systemd/system/Default target points to: Code --------- /usr/lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target ---------- /code Can I use the following code to fix this without messing up my system? (as found in a write on web search) Code ---------- rm /etc/systemd/system/default.target ln -sf /lib/systend/system/graphical.target /etc/systend/system/default.target ----------- /Code My 12.2 install points to: Code ---------- /usr/lib/systemd/system/graphical.target /Code ---------- Thanks for any response. -- openSUSE 12.3(Linux 3.10.5-1.g4e0ffc2-desktop)|KDE Ver. 4.11.00 |Intel core2duo 2.5 MHZ,|8GB DDR3|GeForce 8400GS(NVIDIA-Linux- x86_64-325.15) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Creating the distro USB stick with a simple 'cp'
by Carlos E. R. 14 Aug '13

14 Aug '13

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, A chap at the forums had failed to create the usb stick for installation following several published procedures. But he succeeded with this one: # cp image.iso /dev/sdX # sync And that's it! No more 'dd', or imagewrite, whatever. Just a cp to the raw device, umounted. Someone can explain why it works? Or why it should not work? Do we want to plublish this method on our wiki (for 13.1)? :-) He took the idea from here: <http://superuser.com/questions/620877/cp-command-to-make-bootable-iso-image…> The forum thread is here: View this thread: <http://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php?t=489025> - -- Cheers Carlos E.

[opensuse] firefox/seamonkey causing KDEInit problems
by Daniel Bauer 13 Aug '13

13 Aug '13

Hello, working on coding web I have a dolphin-, several text- and several seamonkey- or firefox-windows open. One of a sudden I cannot open files with a click on entries in dolphin, also desktop-icons do not start anything anymore. I get messages like KDEInit cannot start „/usr/bin/kwrite“ or KDEInit cannot start „/bin/sh“ (messages translated from my german desktop) I now found out that this happens when I have firefox or seamonkey windows open. After closing all of them, everything works normal again after a few seconds. I can reproduce it: no other windows open: - click on dolphin desktop icon opens dophin staring firefox: - click on dolphin desktop icon causes the small jumping icon, but dolphin does not open closing firefox: - click on dolphin desktop icon icon opens dophin again normally The same happens with seamonkey. It does NOT happen with other browsers (as far as my short tests showed): opera, konqueror and chromium do not cause the problem. Opensuse 12.3 KDE 4.10 Firefox 23.0 (Firefox for Opensuse) SeaMonkey 2.19 I havn't found anything corresponding to the problems in the logs. Any ideas? Thanks for hints!

[opensuse] intel graphics with openSUSE 12.3
by Roger Oberholtzer 13 Aug '13

13 Aug '13

I have a new system with the following graphics: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device 2010 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 11 Memory at f0000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4M] Memory at e0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] I/O ports at f000 [size=64] Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] Capabilities: [90] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit- Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [a4] PCI Advanced Features The intel xf86 drivers are installed from xf86-video-intel-2.20.19-2.1.1.i586, which is the openSUSE 12.3 RPM However, the intel driver does not get used. Instead, the FBDEV driver is used. I see that it loads the intel driver (after trying the nvidia). There is no obvious complaint. It just goes on to the FBDEV. The only error I see in Xorg.0.log is: (EE) open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory There is no /dev/dri directory at all.

I have since successfully set it up but I can't get rid of this error??? All repos that enabled up are working including the packman mirror. Errors occurred while restoring the repository configuration.

[opensuse] Help understanding new HTTPS breach?
by Greg Freemyer 12 Aug '13

12 Aug '13

All, I just saw: http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/987798 It is a scary sounding attack since so much banking etc. is conducted via SSL Can someone explain the lifecycle of this attack to me? Does the vulnerability mean that an attacker could: - infect s PC (obviously linux is more difficult than windows, but Java vulnerabilities exist anywhere it is used) - use malware introduced via infection to query various banks and break SSL encryption key without the user even being logged into the protected website - watch network activity until a login to one of the banks in question occurs, then capture the login / password (Obviously, any ssl protected website could be similarly attacked. eg. gmail, salesforce, etc.) I assume that for a bad guy with the exploit in hand the hardest part of the above is monitoring the network activity at a low enough level to observe the compressed packets? Can software running with normal user privileges observe their own packets in that much detail, or does this attack require root access on the victim computer?

[opensuse] USB serial port on HP T1000 G3 UPS ?
by Per Jessen 12 Aug '13

12 Aug '13

I'm trying to use the HP Power Manager software which appears to require/expect a USB serial port when talking to the HP T1000 G3 UPS. The UPS _is_ connected via USB. The setup utility only works with /dev/ttySx but USB serial ports usually end up as /dev/ttyUSBx or in this case /dev/usb/hiddev0 .... -- Per Jessen, Zürich (21.1°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
