[opensuse] Share some home folders in dualboot
by michael norman 15 Sep '13

15 Sep '13

I am dual booting 12.3 and Linux Mint 15. I would like to share some of my 12 3 home directories with my Linux Mint home directory. I have separate user accounts on bot os's. In particular I would like to have read/write access tp my 12.3 home mozilla and thunderbird and my personal and documents folders from my LM home directory. How do I do this ? Hard links ? How do I set them up ? Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Hi I have installed jenkins from openSUSE repos, but it does not run '/etc/init.d/jenkins status' displays 'dead', when I try to start manually '/etc/init.d/jenkins start' I get the same result. Is there a way to get around this issue ? thanks Bogdan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] apache config, FollowSymlinks
by jdd 14 Sep '13

14 Sep '13

Hello, I try to make my apache config as clean as possible, and so easy to move from a server to an other or to install elsewhere. specifically, I usually don't use the root partition to hold data, so /srv do not fit. The real place vary depending on the server configuration. Till now, I used to give the hard link in /etc/apache2/default_server.config and in vhosts, but this is not very convenient, I have to change all the values when I change server. The simpler way seems to be changing /srv to a soft link directed to the new location. However this do not works. my test is placing a dumb /srv/www/htdocs/index./html, with "server listening...". With hard path, my browser displays the message. If I replace it by a soft link, I get a 403 error (no permissions to read) apache2ctl do not give any syntax error, the logs give: [Thu Sep 12 18:51:27 2013] [error] [client 82.228.87.93] Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /srv so why I beg this is a FollowSymlinks error. is it advisable to set FollowSymlinks = yes and where (it is set in virtual servers, be visibly too late) thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] mount cifs from fstab with networkmanager
by lynn 14 Sep '13

12.3 Hi NetworkManager is not up in time to mount cifs shares from fstab. I have to use ifup or the automounter. Is there any way to get NetworkManager up in time? My Ubuntu laptop manages it OK.

[opensuse] jokers in apache config
by jdd 14 Sep '13

14 Sep '13

Hello, I have several domain names, all with the same main part (dodin, my name) and different tld (net, org, info). It's very handy to manage several servers when moving hardware. Right now, I have an old one (dodin.org) and the new one (dodin.info) but in the end, the three of them will point to the same IP. The drawback is than in the <directory> virtual hosts config I have to set three ServerAlias and even 6 (to manage www) is there a way to say to apache than it have to accept "dodin.*", that is any tld that come to this IP? the corresponding FQDN to IP is done on my registrar DNS zone thanks jdd apache2, openSUSE 12.3 -- http://www.dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] LXDE after update, we can't shut down from user menu
by lynn 14 Sep '13

14 Sep '13

12.3 with LXDE community repo. After a zypper dup, users can no longer shut down the machine by clicking on the icon of the door and selecting shutdown. They have to first log out and then shut down from LXDM. Of course, all users are outraged at this major inconvenience. Anyone got a fix?

[opensuse] Battery Widget in KDE
by John Andersen 13 Sep '13

13 Sep '13

Where does this thing get its battery state measurements? The widget in the taskbar as well as the plasma thingie on the desktop indicate 32% while the battery level in KSysGuard indicates 68%. Why would two utilities from the same release of KDE differ about the state of the same battery? -- _____________________________________ ---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] MySQL doesn't seem to like NAS
by Ted Byers 13 Sep '13

13 Sep '13

Thanks to the advice I received in this forum, I have succesfully edited fstab so that my NAS is properly mounted when my Linux boxes reboot. I have tested this by creating simple text files and saving them to directories on the NAS. I then used MySQL Workbench to tell MySQL to put all it's data on the NAS, and when I check my.cnf, that worked as expected. However, from that point onward, MySQL has refused to start. What I get is an error message saying only that it failed to start, but nothing to indicate why or how to fix it. I asked about this on the Google mysql newsgroup, but I now see that traffice there is so low, I may not live long enough to see a response. Thus, I am hoping that there are enough MySQL users here who know well how to administer MySQL on Suse 12.3 and who can tell me a) how to fix this and b) what the correct procedure is to have MySQL store all it's data on my NAS (and whether or not the same procedure would work on Ubuntu). I'd remind those who respond, I am a programmer and know almost nothing about administering Linux boxes (I am still learning the basics of Linux system administration it seems).

[opensuse] I don't understand NAS cifs
by Ted Byers 13 Sep '13

13 Sep '13

I have a 4 TB NAS, and put an entry into fstab to automagically mount a directory on it. Now, when I look at system services, I see a service called 'cifs' that is NT running. And yet, I can open Emacs, create a plain text file, and save it to that directory on the NAS. Is the cifs service not responsible for my access to the NAS? If not, what is? There are two questions I want to examine. 1) how do I ensure that the NS is accessable at boot time before the system tries to start the MySQL service. 2) How do I ensure that, whatever user the MySQL service runs as, that it has access to the NAS?

[opensuse] restarting X server in openSUSE 12.2 with systemd
by Istvan Gabor 13 Sep '13

13 Sep '13

Hello: If I know correctly in systemd there are no runlevels. Previously if I wanted to restart X server I switched to runlevel 3 then back to runlevel 5 (init 3, init 5). How can I stop, start, and restart in openSUSE 12.2 with systemd?
