[opensuse] Cannot fetch my mail
by Wolfgang Mueller 11 Aug '13

11 Aug '13

Dear friends, since last Sunday I cannot fetch my mail any more. These are the last messages appearing on /var/log/fetchmail: fetchmail: 32 messages for wolfgang at pop3.ariannuccia.de (196062 octets). fetchmail: reading message wolfgang@mc01.omc.net:1 of 32 (5707 octets) (log message incomplete) fetchmail: Connection errors for this poll: name 0: connection to localhost:smtp [127.0.0.1/25] failed: Connection refused. name 1: connection to localhost:smtp [127.0.0.1/25] failed: Connection refused. fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from wolfgang(a)pop3.ariannuccia.de and delivering to SMTP host localhost fetchmail: Query status=10 (SMTP) Obviously, fetchmail can read the messages at the provider's server; otherwise it would not see 32 messages waiting. But it cannot deliver them to me since localhost refuses connections. How can I make localhost accept them again? For receiving mail, I now use a different computer of my network. But this can only be a temporary solution. Thanks in advance and best regards, Wolfgang Müller ______________________ An der Silberkuhle 10 30655 Hannover Tel (+49 511) 546 3837 mailto:wm@ariannuccia.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Did you delete the old repository? Try minimal config aka only one repo enabled. Hope this helps.

[opensuse] dumb network routing question
by Marc Chamberlin 10 Aug '13

10 Aug '13

Ok i been fooling around with this, and suspect I am missing something dumb... I have the following SOHO network configuration - Internet | Router A 169.254.1.1 | |-----169.254.1.200 Router B 192.168.20.1 --------- 192.168.20.100 Machine A | 169.254.1.100 (eth0) OpenSuSE Gateway Machine with SuSEFirewall 192.168.10.1 (eth1) | | 192.168.10.20 Machine B So how do I set up the SuSEFirewall and the network routing tables on the OpenSuSE Gateway to allow Machine B to see Machine A? I did set up a route in the Routing Table in YaST2 for the network interfaces as follows - Destination 192.168.20.0 Genmask 255.255.255.0 Gateway 169.254.1.200 Device eth0 The gateway address for Machine A is set to 192.168.20.1 The gateway address for Machine B is set to 192.168.10.1 The gateway address for the OpenSuSE Gateway Machine is set to 169.254.1.1 So far I have been unable to get Machine B to even ping Machine A. Is the SuSEFirewall interfering and if so what do I have to do to make it behave? I tried a few things with it also, but so far no joy. Gotta be something dumb I am missing, appreciate and thanks in advance for a bit of help..

[opensuse] Why Firefox wants to send data and it is enabled by default
by Togan Muftuoglu 09 Aug '13

09 Aug '13

Apparently there is something called datareporting.health reporting in Firefox. The question is I do not recall enabling such thing at all even though it claims I did (liar "accepted-info-bar-button-pressed") . I have disabled all the rubbish, but the real question why on the earth this was packaged with these enabled ? And no I don't realy care how good/neat the intention was. Any software wanting to send data/connect to outer net has to get OK from the boss. Here are the relevant settings in the prefs.js. Mind you I have disabled the service and submission. user_pref("datareporting.healthreport.lastDataSubmissionRequestedTime", "1372438697391"); user_pref("datareporting.healthreport.logging.consoleEnabled", false); user_pref("datareporting.healthreport.nextDataSubmissionTime", "1373197532618"); user_pref("datareporting.healthreport.pendingDeleteRemoteData", true); user_pref("datareporting.healthreport.service.enabled", false); user_pref("datareporting.healthreport.service.firstRun", true); user_pref("datareporting.healthreport.uploadEnabled", false); user_pref("datareporting.policy.dataSubmissionEnabled", false); user_pref("datareporting.policy.dataSubmissionPolicyAcceptedVersion", 1); user_pref("datareporting.policy.dataSubmissionPolicyNotifiedTime", "1365335680665"); user_pref("datareporting.policy.dataSubmissionPolicyResponseTime", "1365335918900"); user_pref("datareporting.policy.dataSubmissionPolicyResponseType", "accepted-info-bar-button-pressed"); user_pref("datareporting.policy.firstRunTime", "1365272124654"); user_pref("datareporting.sessions.current.activeTicks", 98); user_pref("datareporting.sessions.current.clean", true); user_pref("datareporting.sessions.current.firstPaint", 15951); user_pref("datareporting.sessions.current.main", 109); user_pref("datareporting.sessions.current.sessionRestored", 16044); user_pref("datareporting.sessions.current.startTime", "1373485958846"); user_pref("datareporting.sessions.current.totalTime", 568); user_pref("datareporting.sessions.currentIndex", 101); -- Life is endless possibilities -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Troubles with Nvidia

Hi, I probably do some silly mistake, but I can't manage it to work. I have NVIDIA GeForce GT630M (2 GB memory, 96 CUDA cores) and I followed http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_drivers#The_repository_way to install original drivers to be able to use full power of the chip. $ lspci | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 630M] (rev a1) I installed the x11-video-nvidiaG02 package and run as root nvidia-xconfig, but after reboot X doesn't start.

[opensuse] reorg of network:ha-clustering repo on build.opensuse.org
by Tim Serong 09 Aug '13

09 Aug '13

Hi All, This is just a quick heads-up. We're in the process of reorganising the network:ha-clustering repository on build.opensuse.org. If you don't use any of the software from this repo feel free to stop reading now :) Currently we have: - network:ha-clustering (stable builds for various distros) - network:ha-clustering:Factory (devel project for openSUSE:Factory) This is going to change to: - network:ha-clustering:Stable (stable builds for various distros) - network:ha-clustering:Unstable (unstable/dev, various distros) - network:ha-clustering:Factory (devel project for openSUSE:Factory) This means that if you're currently using packages from network:ha-clustering, you'll need to point to network:ha-clustering:Stable instead (once we've finished shuffling everything around). I'll send another email out when this is done.

For a purely local mail server all it needs to include is 127.0.0.8/8 To make sure something isn't camping on your port do netstat -anp |grep ":25" You should get nothing returned, but if something is returned then some other program is listening on the port postfix usually wants. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How do I mount an NAS device on Suse 12.3?
by Ted Byers 08 Aug '13

08 Aug '13

I obtained a NAS, with a view toward running MySQL on a sever running MS Small Business Server 2003 (yes, I know, it is old, but I don't have authority to upgrade it or wipe it and install Linux on it). Anyway, the latest version of MySQL will not run on that machine. Therefore, I intend to run MySQL on the latest Suse (12.3) on a much newer server that I have almost fixed (this machine will have a 256 GB SSD). So, unless I can mount the NAS in such a way that MySQL on Suse can find it, the 4 TB NAS goes to waste (even though all machines on my LAN can see it and browse to it, which is fine if I only want to use Windows Explorer, or it's Linux equivalents, to copy files to it - but even on Windows, MySQL doesn't seem to see it unless I have mapped a specific MAS folder to a local drive letter, so I assume something similar is true on Linux). Hence my question. NB: I am a programmer, not a system administrator, so I am at a loss as to how to do this. NB: I did a Google search, which resulted in a very poor signal to noise ratio, but ended up confused by the different instructions given for the different distributions. And, worse, a lot of the pages I found were as old as that ancient SBS machine I can't use for this purpose. Obviously, things have changes a lot since then. So, then, how do I do this on the latest Suse releases (12.x)? Thanks Ted -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Maximum number of clients reachedxwininfo: error: unable to open display ":0"
by Michael Fischer 08 Aug '13

08 Aug '13

OpenSuSE 12.3 X.0rg X Server 1.13.2 Release Date: 2013-01-24 Getting this message with xwininfo reporting (just before this error starts) less than 100 windows. Ok, I get it that there must be plenty of apps being ill-behaved and opening windows they probably shouldn't, but still. Yes, using the proprietary radeon driver, but I did that with 12.1 and never used to have this problem before 12.3. Google has not been helpful. Suggestions? TIA.
