[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 ?

[opensuse] printer suddenly disappears ??
by Per Jessen 13 Mar '14

13 Mar '14

I was printing some stuff from okular just now, when my printers suddenly disappeared and I was left with "print to pdf" or "print to postcript" only. Same thing in firefox. I restarted cupsd client and server, and I've checked that the printers are being broadcast. I guess I could restarting the machine too, but what happened to my printers?? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (7.9°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Allowing local users to install software via polkit/packagekit results in unsigned packages being installable
by Andreas Seeg 12 Mar '14

12 Mar '14

Dear list-subscribers, my fellow IT administrators and I are considering the option of allowing our users to install additional software present in already added, official repositories or software that is signed with already trusted keys. We are in the process of updating all clients to openSUSE 13.1. To get this functionality, we changed a file in /etc/polkit-1/localauthority and set ResultActive to yes (instead of auth_admin) for org.freedesktop.packagekit.package-install -only-. (I'm not 100% sure about the filename as I have limited access to our test environment right now) We changed nothing for org.freedesktop.packagekit.package-install-untrusted, leaving it to ask for the root password before installing "untrusted" software (as far as I understood polkit). Sadly, a freshly installed system (via autoyast, mostly vanilla with KDE4 pattern) with the mentioned change seems to allow our users to install arbitrary rpm packages. We tested this by downloading a few RPMs from random, not openSUSE related websites, and by trying to install this package http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/AndSee/openSUSE_13.1_Update… which is signed with a key that shouldn't be trusted by default. I'm not entirely sure what to do at this point to circle in on the problem. We don't want users (or exploits...) to be able to install unsigned packages. As we are using autoyast, we aren't ruling out that our current autoyast.xml-file might alter some opensuse settings permanently, but from our understanding, settings described there should only apply to the "live-system" used to install the system. Relevant part of autoyast.xml: <general> ... <signature-handling> <accept_file_without_checksum config:type="boolean">false</accept_file_without_checksum> <accept_non_trusted_gpg_key config:type="boolean">false</accept_non_trusted_gpg_key> <accept_unknown_gpg_key config:type="boolean">false</accept_unknown_gpg_key> <accept_unsigned_file config:type="boolean">false</accept_unsigned_file> <accept_verification_failed config:type="boolean">true</accept_verification_failed> <import_gpg_key config:type="boolean">true</import_gpg_key> </signature-handling> </general> Any pointers are greatly appreciated, especially to official documentation for packagekit/polkit if they describe install-packages and install-packages-untrusted in detail.
