[opensuse] X11 Forwarding issue
by Ken Schneider - openSUSE 25 Jan '14

25 Jan '14

when ever I use ssh or rsync to my desktop I get the following error message" "X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0" I have X11 Forwarding enabled in the config files. ******************** Host * # ForwardAgent no # ForwardX11 no ForwardX11 yes # If you do not trust your remote host (or its administrator), you # should not forward X11 connections to your local X11-display for # security reasons: Someone stealing the authentification data on the # remote side (the "spoofed" X-server by the remote sshd) can read your # keystrokes as you type, just like any other X11 client could do. # Set this to "no" here for global effect or in your own ~/.ssh/config # file if you want to have the remote X11 authentification data to # expire after two minutes after remote login.

[opensuse] CUPS problems
by Ulf Sassenberg 25 Jan '14

25 Jan '14

Hello, A very recent update of cups (1.5.4-12.4.1) cause me print problems. I have two computers running 13.1 (KDE). Both are connected via local internet to an HP officejet 6500. Firewall is off. After updating cups this is enabled as expected but not active. Printer is not found and e.g. HP setup is unable to install a printer. If on the other hand the printer is installed via YAST it works as long as the computer is not restarted. Actually the problem exists also with other versions of cups from the Printing repository. Whether cups is active or inactive can be found in YAST and restarting cups makes it active and the printer is available again. I have since reverted to the original version of CUPS (1.5.4-12.1.3). Have other SUSE users noticed any problems? /Ulf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] cpu temperature monitoring
by Fr David Ousley 25 Jan '14

Is there a convenient program for monitoring cpu temperature? I'm running 12.3, KDE 4.10.5.

[opensuse] NVidia issues
by Marc Chamberlin 25 Jan '14

25 Jan '14

Hello - I am not sure if this is the right forum, or if I should go to the KDE forum, or if there is an appropriate nVidia/Linux forum somewhere, but since I see others talking about nVidia issues here, I will start here and if there is some more appropriate forum, please point me in the right direction. I will start out by saying that I am running openSuSE12.3 x64 and KDE 4.10.5 "release 1" on a computer that is part of my media center. I recently purchased an EVGA 8400 GS video card because I needed a card with an HDMI port. This card is connected through a Harmon Kardon A/V receiver (which also switches other HDMI sources such as a DirectTV satellite set-top box) to a Westinghouse monitor. In addition to the Westinghouse monitor I am also connecting (directly) a small VESA monitor in a separate room to the EVGA video card. As long as I have the Westinghouse monitor turned on, and the A/V receiver configured to send the HDMI signal from the EVGA card to the Westinghouse monitor, I CAN use the NVIDIA X Server settings tool to configure both of my monitors to display everything as expected. But my problem is this - If I turn the Westinghouse monitor off, or switch it out with the A/V receiver, then when I come back to wanting to display the computer output on the Westinghouse monitor later, I discover that the NVIDIA X Server settings are all lost and nothing will be displayed. This can also happen on the small VESA monitor as well, and when both displays are lost I have to VNC into the system in order to reset up the NVIDIA X Server settings. So how do I persist the NVIDIA settings so that things remain the way I configured the X server? I have told the NVIDIA X Server settings tool to both Apply and Save to X Configuration File but no joy in getting my settings to persist. I have noted that there seems to be a KDE daemon running that seems to detect changes on monitor configurations and asks me if I want to open a KDE Display tool to Automatically or Manually (or not) configure the new display setup. I have tried to play with this tool as well, but so far have not been able to find any joy with it either. In fact the KDE Display setup tool seems to see things slightly different than the way the NVIDIA X Server settings tools sees things, such as monitor placements and refresh rates. That lends to even more confusion and I don't really know if I believe the KDE tool, as the NVIDIA X Server Settings tool seems to reflect reality better when I actually get things configured and working properly. Thoughts? Ideas? I will send the X config file along if that will help, but somehow I think it is set up correctly, just not persistently.

[opensuse] postfix not using access
by Patrick Shanahan 25 Jan '14

25 Jan '14

openSUSE 13.1 x86_64 postfix-2.9.6-7.4.1.x86_64 Recently solved an apache2 log problem w/wpad.dat entries by changing my no-ip.org account from wildcard to non-wildcard. May or may not be related, but ever since that date postfix appears to not be utilizing /etc/postfix/access: main.cf: smtpd_sender_restrictions = hash:/etc/postfix/access smtpd_client_restrictions = check_client_access hash:/etc/postfix/access, permit smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, ... check_client_access hash:/etc/postfix/access, ... permit access: ... <address> REJECT spam not accepted here <address> REJECT spam not accepted here <address> REJECT spam not accepted here <address> REJECT spam not accepted here <address> REJECT spam not accepted here <address> REJECT spam not accepted here ... My mail logs contained entries "REJECT spam not accepted here" but no more. A search of the mail logs for <address> shows no rejections with any code/reason. What has happened and why is "access" no longer being used by postfix. Yes, I run "postmap /etc/postfix/access" after every edit and restart postfix service. tks, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] LibreOffice PDF Import
by Anton Aylward 25 Jan '14

25 Jan '14

I've been googling for this and am confused. Some sources say that its included, but I don't see that in the extensions manager. Other say you have to import it -- apt-get for ubuntu. Zypper search doesn't show it. A search for an downlandable version turns up Oracle/OpenOffice which is unusable Is this missing completely from the openSuse implementation or what? -- "Being professional is doing all the things you love to do on days when don't feel like doing them". -- Julius Erving. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
