[opensuse] /etc/passwd compulsory fields
by lynn 20 Aug '13

20 Aug '13

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

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

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.

[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.

[opensuse] KMail on 12.3
by Mark Tinka 19 Aug '13

19 Aug '13

Hi all. I'm still running openSUSE 11.4 because the last time I attempted an upgrade to 12.1, it ended in tears where KMail2 was such a surprise, particularly how it got so bundled with Akonadi and friends. I ended up reverting to 11.4 and have been there since then. However, I can't help but feel like I'm not enjoying any advances in KMail and other applications on openSUSE, given I'm on a release that is no longer being supported. My main issue is KMail. Does anyone know whether the migration from KMail on 11.4 to KMail on 12.3 is now behaving? One issue I saw was some kind of problem between how KMail and KWallet are integrated in 12.3. Any useful feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks. Cheers, Mark. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] No Internet access after processor upgrade
by rm＠crescentconstruction.com 19 Aug '13

19 Aug '13

Opensuse list, I'm using openSUSE 12.1 (64 bit); KDE 4.7.2 I just upgraded the motherboard and processor to: ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 - motherboard AMD FX -8120 Processor Nvidia GeForce GT 610 Graphics card The system boots fine. Its connected via the ethernet to a local cisco router that has internet access. I can log into the router at 192.168.1.1 and access all of the router functions, so it would seem the network card, drivers, etc. are all functioning. For some reason, web browsers will connect to all the LAN devices (router, printer, scanner) but will not connect to WAN. I disabled the firewall. I checked the etc/resolv.conf file and it seems to be correctly writing 192.168.1.1 as the nameserver and 209.18.47.61 and 62 as the DNS entries. any ideas are appreciated, thanks, Regis -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
