[opensuse] upgrate from 12.3 to 13.1, apaches problems
by jdd 28 May '14

28 May '14

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. Please excuse the technical term. ;-) tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] SuSefirewall2 can't block ports 135 & 445
by James Knott 25 May '14

25 May '14

When running the www.grc.com port scan, it shows ports 135 & 445 as closed, rather than stealth. Neither of those ports are enabled in the configuration and when I add them to the line FW_SERVICES_DROP_EXT="0/0,tcp,135 0/0,udp,135 0/0,tcp,445 0/0,udp,445", they still show as closed. Is there any way to completely close those ports, so they show as stealth, rather than closed with the port scan? tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Verizon Cable TV - Do they broadcast clear QAM channel?

Does anyone on the list use Verizon Cable TV and do you know what channels, if any, are receivable without their cable box. I use an old WinTV card and have to use their cable box for everything.

[opensuse] enabling a apache module in openSUSE 13.1 (and 12.3)
by jdd 25 May '14

25 May '14

Hello, I got problems enabling a module on a 12.3 install. as I work on several servers, I'm not completely sure of what I did so I need some clarification. the openSUSE recommended method all over the web (google) says to use yast httpd module. But this module is very agressive (for example just removed completely my local.conf vhost configuration). Anyway, I want to be able to make it by hand, let only for learning purpose. the usual method is to use a2enmod to do the job. This is a shell script that is different from a distro to an other one! openSUSE one have no man page. Google gives, for example: http://man.he.net/man8/a2enmod that says: a2enmod is a script that enables the specified module within the apache2 configuration. It does this by creating symlinks within /etc/apache2/mods-enabled this is *not* true for openSUSE (no such folder). The "traditional" openSUSE way is to edit the /etc/sysconfig/apache2 file to add the module name in the activated module list. Good. But it's also said to, after that, run SuSEConfig and everybody here should know this script do not exist anymore. on the same way, I understood than the /etc/sysconfig files are deprecated? are they really? because the a2enmod from opensuse only modify the sysconfig/apache2 file (if I correctly read the script - not sure). so I would like to know: * is changing the /etc/sysconfig/apache2 the recommended way to enable an apache2 module? and for at least some years? Is there an other step? * how is apache2 aware of this file? do apache2 read directly this file or is this triggering some change in other apache2 config file, and where? thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Kernel crash on multiple file write on reiserfs GPT partition.
by Carlos E. R. 25 May '14

25 May '14

Hi, I am hitting a kernel crash and BUG when doing repeated file writes on a GPT partition, made as reiserfs. The machine locks completely, even keyboard LEDs do not change state. The code is this (trimmed for clarity): for Z in `seq 1 3000`; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test/fichero_$Z count=1 bs=1M conv=fdatasync >> logfile 2>&1. done ls -lh /mnt/test/* > /dev/null 2>&1. rm /mnt/test/fichero* 2>&1 | tee -a some_log What I see on screen is that it apparently writes the 3000 thousand files, deletes them (all the operations are timed), and then this, hand copied from a screen photo with camera: ************************************* [62148.7840471] BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffc90019d54250 [62148.7840454] IP: [<ffffffff8105e7a9>] get_next_timer_interrupt+0xa9/0x270 [62148.7840456] PGD 23f027067 PUD 23f028067 PMD 19b255067 PTE 0 [62148.7840457] Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP ************************************* I will post the photo later.
