[opensuse] Spurious Wireless Mouse up-wheel
by Jeffrey L. Taylor 16 Mar '14

16 Mar '14

Both my wife's Dell M1330 laptop running Ubuntu 12.04 and my Lenovo Thinkpad T520 running OpenSuSE 12.2 are experiencing spurious up-wheel events from Logitech wireless mice, a M325 and a M510 model. Switching mice doesn't change behaviour much. I've disabled all buttons except the first three on her laptop with xinput. It then behaves as expected. It happens less on my laptop, and I can deal with it when it happens. Has anyone seen this? A dying battery may make it worse. A fresh battery certainly doesn't fix it.

[opensuse] flash video download?
by George Olson (SUSE list) 16 Mar '14

16 Mar '14

Can anyone tell me how to download a flash video? I have purchased an online course, and the streaming videos are all in flash. The problem is, sometimes I traveland go to places where I have no internet access, or go to places where I might have it but the bandwidth is very small. Watching a streaming video with low bandwidth can turn a 20 minute video into an hour and a half, and make it hard to follow as there are so many frequent pauses. I would like to download the videos in advance while I am at home with high bandwidth and then have them on my hard drive to watch them while travelling. -- George Olson Box #1: 13.1 | KDE 4.11 | AMD Phenom IIX4 | 64 | ATI Radeon HD 3300 | 16GB Box #2: 13.1 | KDE 4.11 | AMD Athlon X3 | 64 | nVidia C61 GeForce 7025 | 4GB Laptop: 13.1 | KDE 4.11 | Core i7-2620M | 64 | Intel HD Graphics 3000 | 8GB -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Force drive ID?
by James Knott 15 Mar '14

15 Mar '14

I'm trying to upgrade my system from a pair of IDE drives to a single SATA drive, with the intention of removing the old drives when I'm done. I'd like to have the old drives on the system, until I've copied over everything I need. With the old drives plugged in, they always come up as sda & sdb, with the new drive sdc. Is there any way to force the new drive to be sda? I'm running 13.1. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Sendmail authentication/authorization question
by Moby 15 Mar '14

15 Mar '14

I have smtp auth working fine with sendmail on opensuse 13.1 - users have to authenticate to the box (which gets handled by Activedirectory via samba etc but that is a different story) and users can use the opensuse 13.1 server to send outgoing email only after successfully authenticating. However, now I have a need to allow only certain users, and not all authenticated users, to be able to send outgoing mail through sendmail. Does anyone know how one can specify a list of users that sendmail would accept while rejecting all others, even ones who have authenticated fine? Thanks in advance for any help -- --Moby -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] BlueGriffon crashing like a ... blind griffin
by Peter 15 Mar '14

15 Mar '14

I recently noticed that the latest BlueGriffon is now available from the openSUSE Mozilla repo, so I installed it. It didn't pull in any other packages. Whilst the program launches, clicking just about anywhere in the program window (or at least around the menu / toolbar) causes it to immediately crash and close. This is on a standard 13.1 64-bit recent fresh install, with the only other added repos being KDE Extra, Packman and libdvdcss. I don't have any urgent need for the application so I've deleted it but I thought I'd put this out there so somebody might want to look into it or confirm my findings.

[opensuse] SCSI Problem
by Meike Stone 14 Mar '14

14 Mar '14

Hello, I've a problem with the scsi subsystem We have tape library connected over SAN with ten tape devices. The devices are seen with lssci and the mappings between the generic scsi devices and the scsi addresses (H:B:T:L) with sg_map -x. This looks like: .. /dev/sg235 7 0 0 0 12 /dev/sg236 7 0 0 1 8 /dev/sg237 7 0 0 2 8 /dev/sg238 7 0 1 0 1 /dev/nst0 /dev/sg239 7 0 2 0 1 /dev/nst1 /dev/sg240 7 0 2 1 8 /dev/sg241 7 0 3 0 1 /dev/nst2 /dev/sg242 7 0 4 0 1 /dev/nst3 ... But sometimes I get the messages from sg_map: "Strange, could not find device /dev/nstxx mapped to sg device??" on top of the output and at the end the strange "scsi address" (see sg254) /dev/sg252 9 0 1 0 1 /dev/sg253 10 0 0 0 1 /dev/nst11 /dev/sg254 -2 -2 -2 -2 -2 /dev/sg255 10 0 2 0 1 The device file /dev/sg254 exist in the /dev directory. If I disconnect the device, the device file will be removed and if I reconnect again, the device file is create automatically. Does anyone has a clue, why this strange behavior occurs? thanks Meike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] What IS wrong with multimedia in 13.1?!
by Basil Chupin 14 Mar '14

14 Mar '14

What IS wrong with VLC and k3b in 13.1? I cannot play Blu-ray files using VLC in 13.1 even though I have (as far as I know) all the necessary files installed - yet I can play the same Bd discs (or rather open the Directory-ies or execute individual m2ts files) in openSUsE 12.3. I cannot do a copy of, eg, a CD using k3b - keeps coming up with an error of not being able to open the disc - in 13.1 while k3b in 12.3 happily and without any drama makes a copy of any CD I "throw" at it! 12.3 = OK. 13.1 = crap. Why? I have another thread here which I started days ago, Subject "13.1 + vlc + Blu-ray", but now k3b is involved so I thought it best to start a new thread. MOST frustrating re above simply because both work as expected in 12.3 but suddenly 13.1 goes belly-up re these 2 applications. Anybody suggest, please, steps to take to resolve this situation?

[opensuse] Backup mailserver
by Koenraad Lelong 13 Mar '14

13 Mar '14

Hi, My internet connection at home is broken. I was trying to set up a backup mailserver at work. But thinking about it I fear it's impossible. Please comment : In an MX-record of my home-domain I point a secondary address to the mailserver at work. The mailserver at work is configured to accept mail as relay for my home-domain. Unfortunately, my mailserver at work is forced to use the relay-server of my ISP. So when my werk-server accepts mail for my home-domain, it is able send this to the ISP-relay. The ISP-relay can't send it to my home-server so it sends this the my work-server etc. An endless loop. Am I right in this analysis ? How to solve this ?
