[opensuse] AD replacement
by Hans Witvliet 21 Jan '14

21 Jan '14

Hi all, The people from the (upstream) samba team, told that their 4.x branch could do a full (and painless) swap from AD towards samba, and the other way round. Only (little) snag was that they included all main components (smb, ldap, krb and dns). And the only component that might be replaced by another part was substituting samba4-DNS by BIND. However, in 13.1 and sp3 i see that samba4 is included, but on the changes-file, it says that full AD-functionality is not possible, because you can not replace the kerberos-component. (afaicr, the samba-team is using Heimdal, instead of MIT-kerberos) So, if you need to mimick/replace a complete AD, should one use: ../repositories/network:/samba:/STABLE/openSUSE_13.1/ Or are there any other suggestion.... hw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] USB problem in openSUSE 12.2
by Istvan Gabor 20 Jan '14

20 Jan '14

Hello: I have USB flashdisk problem regularly in openSUSE 12.2. The disk is mounted(by the system, KDE3 with hal) correctly. I start copying files and during the copy process a messages is shown that the disk does not exist. After this the media notifier pops up and and the disk is mounted again. Sometimes this occurs several times in a chain. But after such a remount the copy speed becomes very low compared to the original speed. I have three computers with the same setup: openSUSE 12.2 with KDE3.5.10 but this occurs only in one system (practically every time when I use the disk) and never in the other two computers. Therefore I think it can be related to the motherboard and a driver but of course I am not sure. How could I trace and possibly fix this annoying behavior? When this occurs, dmesg gives the following result (last lines), see below. Thank you in advance, Istvan dmesg output: ----------------------------------------- [15061.144125] usb 1-5: new high-speed USB device number 5 using ehci_hcd [15066.254019] usb 1-5: New USB device found, idVendor=0930, idProduct=6545 [15066.254029] usb 1-5: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [15066.254036] usb 1-5: Product: DataTraveler 2.0 [15066.254041] usb 1-5: Manufacturer: Kingston [15066.254046] usb 1-5: SerialNumber: 001D92A85EDCB8B1C330021B [15066.254758] scsi13 : usb-storage 1-5:1.0 [15067.254610] scsi 13:0:0:0: Direct-Access Kingston DataTraveler 2.0 PMAP PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 CCS [15067.255138] sd 13:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg6 type 0 [15067.256985] sd 13:0:0:0: [sdd] 15687680 512-byte logical blocks: (8.03 GB/7.48 GiB) [15067.257638] sd 13:0:0:0: [sdd] Write Protect is off [15067.257646] sd 13:0:0:0: [sdd] Mode Sense: 23 00 00 00 [15067.258348] sd 13:0:0:0: [sdd] No Caching mode page present [15067.258358] sd 13:0:0:0: [sdd] Assuming drive cache: write through [15067.567310] usb 1-5: USB disconnect, device number 5 [15067.581422] sd 13:0:0:0: [sdd] READ CAPACITY failed [15067.581431] sd 13:0:0:0: [sdd] Result: hostbyte=DID_NO_CONNECT driverbyte=DRIVER_OK [15067.581440] sd 13:0:0:0: [sdd] Sense not available.

[opensuse] rpmdb2solv extremely slow
by auxsvr 20 Jan '14

20 Jan '14

Hi, Since last week, running zypper on oS 13.1 is extremely slow, performing a lot of disk I/O. After some investigation, it seems that it removes and creates again the database at /var/cache/zypp/solv/@System every time it tries to do anything related with package management. According to /var/log/zypper.log, earlier (normal) runs of rpmdb2solv returned after 10 s (from "ExternalProgram.cc(start_program):402 pid 4833 launched" to "ExternalProgram.cc(checkStatus):503 Pid 4833 successfully completed"), whereas lately this lasts about 10 minutes, slower by a factor of 60! Has anyone else seen something like this? Any ideas?

[opensuse] openSUSE + gpsd + PPS + NTP
by Roger Oberholtzer 20 Jan '14

20 Jan '14

Hi Is anyone using a GPS (gpsd) with the PPS signal as a time source for NTP? My main interest is how such systems are acting at system boot. We have a mobile measurement system that syncs time using home brewed software. We would like instead to use the standard tools. Our main question is how the system acts if, at boot, there is no GPS data. Is the time left alone? When the time does arrive, how quickly will the system clock reflect the time? For example, it may turn out that the PC clock and the GPS time differ by some hours. Does NTP always do a gradual time shift? Can that be disabled? These systems are booted a couple times a day. Any other things to consider? TIA for any experiences. -- Yours sincerely, Roger Oberholtzer Ramböll RST / Systems Office: Int +46 10-615 60 20 Mobile: Int +46 70-815 1696 roger.oberholtzer(a)ramboll.se ________________________________________ Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

[opensuse] WebRTC successes with openSUSE (Firefox) to openSUSE (Firefox) machines
by Peter 19 Jan '14

19 Jan '14

Hi all. Interested to know if any openSUSErs out there are having any luck making audio / video WebRTC calls using exclusively openSUSE with Firefox at each end? Especially using the current FF version 26 or lower, not the nightlies or beta. This could be via a 3rd party web-based service like talky.io or otherwise. Note that I'm not interested in knowing about Chrome or other client software like jit.si which can apparently handle WebRTC in its latest version. I'm trying to discern if the problems I'm encountering are likely Firefox not yet being fully ready or the somewhat messed up internet connection at the shared property where I live, and which I can do very little about. Trying to call my folks in another country, it seems all is fine at their end, they can see and hear me okay, I can now see them okay in FF25, but audio is messed up. Their voices sound like somebody is playing Pacman on the Atari 2600. Everything they say gets stretched and slowed down, chopped into segments and robotised, to such an extent that I can't make out hardly anything. What's your experience? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] NAS Solutions - Suggestion Please
by andreil1＠starlett.lv 19 Jan '14

19 Jan '14

Hi! I have 2 x SUSE Linux servers, which uses several additional internal hard drives for backup. I have an idea to move backup storage to separate dedicated NAS box. This enclosure with 4 x Hot-swap SATA drives and 1 system 2.5" HD seem to be OK. I think to use small SSD drive for OS in order to improve reliability. CFI A-7879 enclosure (4x 3.5" NAS, 1x 2.5", Hot-Plug, 1x PCI, 200W) http://www.minipc.de/catalog/il/1427 >From the software side I'm not so sure. I like FreeNAS and its particular feature called RAID-Z2, which implements in software RAID L6, which tolerated failure of 2 hard drives simultaneously without data loss. Once I already had RAID L5 failure, so this is very essential issue. FreeNAS is based on FreeBSD, so if anyone have suggestion for comparable solution based on Linux, I will be very glad to hear.

[opensuse] clock library ready to use

I am looking for a clock library, that is NOT a "time library" (well known in C/C++ : year, minutes, seconds...), but : "KDE or Gnome clock". Graphical. -> But that is shipped as a library : functions to display clock digits, play a sound... I could use Qt, but I'm lazy :) I am not english, which english words should I look for in Google to find the second one, not the first ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
