[opensuse] Something fishy at Truecrypt
by Greg Freemyer 02 Jun '14

02 Jun '14

I've been a truecrypt user for years, so this is worrying: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/05/28/truecrypt_hack No one seems to know what is going on. For now I will make sure not to download truecrypt and I suggest the same to all here. Greg -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.

[opensuse] Too much slow internet connection in my laptop - openSUSE KDE 13.1

Hi, I am using openSUSE 13.1 KDE version. I am always getting the slow internet connection.

[opensuse] user mount, grrr...
by Peter 31 May '14

31 May '14

TL;DR In short, why does trying to mount a device in Dolphin request my root password when I've set this device to be mountable by a user in the fstab? The fstab entry reads as follows: UUID=b6b754d1-243c-45f4-99f1-ff89c43a4fee /mnt/backup1 ext4 user,noauto,acl,user_xattr,nofail 0 0 I tried, as root, adjusting the permissions of the folder /backup1 to belong to the user, but no joy. I wanted to use a spare HD for backups, and thought I'd try 'Kup' for doing so (http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Kup+Backup+System?content=147465). I slotted the HD into my laptop's modular bay and clicked on its icon that appears in Dolphin, entering the root password even though I don't see why I should have to. Then, having set up a versioned backup with /mnt/backup1 as a filesystem destination path, the Kup system tray icon forever says 'Backup destination unavailable'. I thought of looking at KDE's policies settings, but in the Control Center the two policy / actions modules that I always used to have in previous installations of openSUSE are no longer there. (My only attempts to change anything in there previously were fruitless anyway because it just ignored every policy I implemented), but regardless, I'm not sure why it's disappeared entirely. Peter openSUSE 13.1 64-bit, KDE 4.11 More info: I have a Dell laptop with a modular bay normally occupied by a DVD drive, but I bought a hard drive caddy to interchange in this bay, into which I put my old SATA HDD. I also have a docking station with such a modular bay. An oddity there is that although when sticking the DVD drive in it is accessible, if I swap in the HD it doesn't get automatically recognised on the desktop (KDE). This could be because the docking station is much older than the laptop, so maybe the SATA connection in there isn't hot swappable, but it's not really important so long as the bay on the laptop works properly. Could it be that this lack of mount flexibility is a limitation of a SATA connection? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Can't run VirtualBox

I downloaded and installed the openSUSE VirtualBox RPM from virtualbox.org. While it installs OK and I can install a virtual machine, when I try to run the VM it fails.

[opensuse] Partitioner has a problem with my plans
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 29 May '14

29 May '14

On the computer of my wife which runs Windows 7, I have sliced of three partitions. /, 10 GB, home 4 GB and a small swap. I left 60 GB for her Windows. As this Windows does not expand due to the nature of her use I planned to get a bigger slice of the hard disk. I reduced the 60 GB to 50 GB and was planning to include this new partition into a happy Linux use. The information I get if I want to add this partition I get the Info that it is not possible to create a partition on sda. A resize is only possible on sda1, the Windows partition.

[opensuse] NAT / PAT @ IPv6
by Hans Witvliet 29 May '14

29 May '14

Hi all, Before getting any comments, let me state that i'm very happy that with IPv6 most people do not need the masquerade their local IP addressen any more. However, as an admin, it is sometimes very handy to be able to do network and/or port translation. So while keeping un-modified clients, you can divert them (temporarily) to another process. With iptables this can easily achieved with a DNAT. How can i do likewise with ip6tables? (as there is no nat-table) Kind regards, Hans -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] upgrate from 12.3 to 13.1, apaches problems

Hello, I just upgraded my server from 12.3 to 13.1 following the instructions there: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:System_upgrade at the reboot, the server didn't reboot (no ssh, no ping). I could do a hard reboot with the provider kernel and netboot system. Aoache did not run. apache2ctl restart flagged some minor errors: * in default-server.conf the "apache2-manual?conf" did not fit. I commented it out (no such file anyway); * some options in local.conf kept "+" that is deprecated * warning than NameVirtualHost have no effect and will be removed. I igored this one. after that: * apache2ctl restart starts the server and as far as I can see the server works normally, but * systemctl restaret apache.service do *not* start the apache server and gives: s311900:~/htdocs # systemctl status apache2.service apache2.service - The Apache Webserver Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/apache2.service; enabled) Active: inactive (dead) since mar. 2014-05-27 12:47:25 CEST; 3s ago Process: 7503 ExecStop=/usr/sbin/start_apache2 -D SYSTEMD -DFOREGROUND -k graceful-stop (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 7485 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/start_apache2 -D SYSTEMD -DFOREGROUND -k start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 7485 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) mai 27 12:47:25 ks311900 start_apache2[7485]: Module "imagemap" is not installed, ignoring. mai 27 12:47:25 ks311900 start_apache2[7485]: Check the APACHE_MODULES setting in /etc/sysconfig/apache2. mai 27 12:47:25 ks311900 start_apache2[7485]: AH00548: NameVirtualHost has no effect and will be removed ...f:20 mai 27 12:47:25 ks311900 start_apache2[7485]: httpd (pid 6609) already running mai 27 12:47:25 ks311900 start_apache2[7503]: Module "imagemap" is not installed, ignoring. mai 27 12:47:25 ks311900 start_apache2[7503]: Check the APACHE_MODULES setting in /etc/sysconfig/apache2. mai 27 12:47:25 ks311900 start_apache2[7503]: AH00548: NameVirtualHost has no effect and will be removed ...f:20 mai 27 12:47:25 ks311900 systemd[1]: Started The Apache Webserver.

[opensuse] Hostname ?? NOT!
by Anton Aylward 27 May '14

27 May '14

When I installed 13.1 on this machine I set the hostname. When I run 'hostname' or 'hostname -fqdn' I see what I expect, what I set it to. When I am at the console prompt (tty,2,3,4,5,6) I see that hostname at part of the login prompt. When I've logged in the spell prompt includes that hostname, This is all as I expect and as it should be. But with the graphical prompt I see another name 'Linux-85q8' or something like that, rather than the hostname I've set it to. WTF? Oh, right, this must be defined in the login screen definition... But where and why? Why doesn't it use the proper hostname and where does this come from? -- IOException: Jovian moons misaligned. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] PS/2 - USB adapter and Linux
by James Knott 27 May '14

27 May '14

I have been using a PS/2 KVM switch with Linux for several years. One problem is that the mouse will go all wonky¹ when switched between systems. This is a known problem with Linux (though not Windows or OS/2), but it apparently doesn't happen with switched USB mouse. Does anyone know if adapters such as this correct the problem? http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1… The problem, as I understand it, is that PS/2 devices are not intended to be switched, but USB devices are. 1.
