[opensuse] Namebench
by Steven Hess 25 Dec '15

25 Dec '15

There was a previews thread where namebench was mentioned. I thought it was the optimizing resolv.conf thread. Anyway this is a different issue. Id like to run it. The ones I located in OBS were not functional here. What could I do to try another source? Thanks Steven -- ____________ Apply appropriate technology. Use what works without prejudice.

by Chuck Payne 09 Nov '15

09 Nov '15

Hi, I am trying to set up a simple repo, I read on the opensuse site about a binary called genIS_PLAINcache, because I can't see to find it or the package yast2-packmanager either. Can someone help. I am setting this repo up for SLE9, I have tried to use createrepo but I keeping getting errors. -- ---------------------------------------- When a place gets crowded enough to require ID's, social collapse is not far away.

[opensuse] DenyHosts daemon mode on openSUSE 11.3
by LLLActive＠GMX.Net 23 Jan '15

23 Jan '15

Hi, I am trying to run DenyHosts on OS 11.3. I can get it to sync and update the hosts.deny file, but with "rcdenyhosts status" it reports as being "unused" just after I started it with "rcdenyhosts start". I tried also with yast, setting up as a service (daemon) and starting it. It also stops immediately. In the denyhosts.log file there is no error info, just what it used to set it up at start. I've gone through the configs several times, no joy. Anyone got DenyHosts running properly? :-/ Dreiel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] opensuse 13.1 annoying limitations
by Marco Calistri 31 Aug '14

31 Aug '14

As per the subject, IMHO this is the list: 1) BLUETOOTH doesn't works completely 2) Power Management "sucks" with laptops 3) Totem warnings the user to download plug-ins which are not necessary or which cannot get downloaded and installed I consider all the above as limitations in a modern O.S.

[opensuse] What is the "official" way to mount floppy in openSUSE 12.x?
by Istvan Gabor 20 Jun '14

20 Jun '14

Hello: The subject says the question. [In pre 12 suse versions I had a /media/floppy directory where the floppy could be mounted at (by using the floppy icon on KDE3's desktop). In 12.x there is no such directory, and if created it will be removed at next boot, as I know correctly. Of course I could make a floppy dir under / or somewhere else, but I'd prefer its location to be in /media, since floppy is a media. Why should it be then outside of media dir?] What is the official way of mounting floppy in 12.x.? I have openSUSE 12.1 with KDE3 currently.

It listens on port 631 and starts cupsd if there is incomming traffic. cu, Rudi N��r��y隊Z)z{.�ﮞ˛��m�)z{.��+�:�{Zr�az�'z��j)h��Ǿ� ޮ�^�ˬz��

[opensuse] kernel 3.13 and nVidia graphics
by Malte Gell 19 Apr '14

19 Apr '14

Hi there, I tried the kernel 3.13 on openSUSE 13.1 with the proprietary drivers from nVidia. I have problems with suspend to ram, when I wake up the machine I see the mouse cursor, but I cannot unlock the KDE screen lock. The mouse is there, but the screen stays black. And when I switch to a console with alt-ctrl-f1 the screen just stays black, nothing, nada, no prompt, just blank screen. I have to switch back to X using alt-f7. I guess either kernel 3.13 has some issues with nVidia or the nVidia driver has issues. I use nVidia driver version 331.49. Anyone with the same experience? Maybe any workaround for xorg.conf available? Malte -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 13.1 on ThinkPad X60s
by Thorolf Godawa 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

Hi everybody, I'm trying to install openSUSE 13.1 on a ThinkPad X60s (CoreDuo, Intel 950 graphics, Intel 3945ABG wifi, SanDisk 128GB SSD). The installation goes through mostly fine, all hardware is detected correctly but I'm not able to establish a wifi-connection (shows SSIDs fo available APs, but does not get an IP), so I went for cable to finish the installation including all updates. On next reboot, it takes quite long (>60s) to go over the Grub showing the boot menu and the system is not booting into runlevel 5 at all, last message seen is "Started SuSEfirewall2 phase 2". I can change to an other console, after connecting a cable I have working network and I can start XFCE4 manually from there. I can get over the "Started SuSEfirewall2 phase 2" if I switch the network from NetworkManager to ipup, but then I'm not able to get a Wifi connection anymore (only SSIDs viewable, but no IP-connection). Finally the system shutdown takes too long it shows "Started Show Plymouth Power Off Screen" (after pressing ESC) for about 90s and then shuts down very fast. Any ideas for this? I'm using 13.1, because it should be a "evergreen" version, while I was a SuSE user for long time, I stopped using it some time ago, because I was not willing to do frequent distribution upgrades, so "evergreen" seems to be a good option for me. -- kind regards, Thorolf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] opensuse12.3 - cannot make ext drive available to all users
by John King 24 Mar '14

24 Mar '14

We recently upgraded our office desktop to opensuse 12.3, and have run into a problem with external drives. Our office desktop is used by several people during the day; each user has her/his own account, and users switch between them with the usual ctrl+alt+Fn combination. Most of our data is stored on an external drive. The first user plugs it in, and the last user of the day ejects it and stores it away securely. At least, that's what used to happen with opensuse 12.2. Since moving to 12.3, we find we can't do that. The first user has sole use of the drive in /var/run/media/<username1>, and other users have no access, which means they cannot access or update our data. Is there any (fairly straightforward) way we can restore the previous behaviour, and allow multiple users to access the external drive?
