[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. It took a long time until I found out that the service names in openSUSE are: smb.service and nmb.service, instead of smbd.service and nmbd.service as mentioned at the site you linked. 2. I could not find any *.service file containing strings 'smb' or 'nmb' on my whole system. (Starting search in the / directory.) 3.

Re: [opensuse] Scheduled Cron Jobs in YaST

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).
