[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

[opensuse] DHCP server, VLAN and subnets
by James Knott 22 Aug '13

22 Aug '13

I have configured my openSUSE 11.4 firewall with a VLAN interface and a different subnet from my main one. I have configured the DHCP server with the new address range, but for some reason I still get the main subnet addresses assigned instead. I don't see any way to say which interface a DHCP range applies to. Is there anyway to configure the DHCP server so that the correct addresses are assigned on the VLAN interface? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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] cups and init open port 631
by Andrea Turrini 22 Aug '13

22 Aug '13

Hi all, I have checked the open ports in my system and I have noted the following strange thing about port 631: orodruin:~ # netstat -npa|grep 631 tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1159/cupsd tcp 0 0 :::631 :::* LISTEN 1/init udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:631 0.0.0.0:* 1/init so it seems that for IPv4 TCP cups is listening on localhost but what about IPv6 or TCP? Why does port 631 belong to init? and how can I restrict it to listen only on localhost?

[opensuse] Kwin variables
by Hans de Faber 21 Aug '13

21 Aug '13

Hi everybody, The name of my new (amd hd7790) graphicscard is not recognized by the fglrx driver. At the moment it works at an acceptable level. But kwin does not use open-gl direct rendering. I have to set KWIN_DIRECT_GL=1 and KWIN_COMPOSE=O2 before kwin starts. In which configfile should i do this ?

[opensuse] mailman & postfix
by Koenraad Lelong 21 Aug '13

21 Aug '13

Hi, For some years I run my own mailserver. I just added a mailing-list service. I'm testing it and it seems to run fine, except I can't send anything to external users. External means email-addresses not on my mail-server. The postfix log shows this : Aug 20 13:37:36 neptunus postfix/qmgr[4431]: E6987101699: from=<someone(a)somewhere.com>, size=1686, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Aug 20 13:37:36 neptunus postfix/pipe[4571]: E6987101699: to=<testlist-request(a)lists.example.com>, relay=mailman, delay=0.78, delays=0.21/0.02/0/0.55, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via mailman service) Aug 20 13:37:36 neptunus postfix/qmgr[4431]: E6987101699: removed Aug 20 13:37:38 neptunus postfix/smtpd[4574]: connect from localhost[::1] Aug 20 13:37:38 neptunus postfix/smtpd[4574]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from localhost[::1]: 554 5.7.1 <someone(a)somewhere.com>: Relay access denied; from=<testlist-bounces(a)lists.example.com> to=<someone(a)somewhere.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<[127.0.1.1]> Aug 20 13:37:38 neptunus postfix/smtpd[4574]: disconnect from localhost[::1] Postfix gets it's domains and users from a MySQL database (postfixadmin).

Can anyone point me to the parameters I should look at ? I seem unable to find what relay-option I have to set/modify. I tried modifying mydestination by adding lists.$mydomain after $myhostname but that does not work. I also added an alias-domain in postfixadmin. Both did not work : the addresses in lists.example.com became unknown. Thanks for any help.

[opensuse] GTK apps on SuSE-12.3 with KDE default desktop
by Mark Hounschell 20 Aug '13

20 Aug '13

I have a machine with a fresh 12.3 install with all the updates. It will NOT run any gnome related apps while running KDE. Just trying to start gnome-terminal in kde causes this. A segfault occurs. In fact even if I select gnome as the desktop and attempt to login, it happens. The desktop/X crashes and I'm sent back to the login prompt. Here is the tail of my Xorg.log.0 file. Again this is basically a standard install. I have selected all the development packages though.
