[opensuse] apache access_compat error with directive satisfy
by Administrator Beckspaced.com 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

hello there, using the latest opensuse 13.1 with all patches applied. running apache2-2.4.6-6.27.1 and error log reports the following: [Wed Aug 27 15:24:36.380408 2014] [access_compat:error] [pid 27254] [client 84.149.95.211:53003] AH01797: client denied by server configuration: /srv/www/webdev/httpdocs/ strange thing is ... though apache reports that the client access is denied i can indeed access the site. i looked a bit deeper into the error message and then realized that it has something to do with the satisfy any/all directive i use the following setup in my .htaccess file: ========== Order allow,deny Allow from 12.23.122.10 Allow from 34.19.32.213 AuthName "Protected Area" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /srv/.htpasswd Require user demo Satisfy any ========== so i basically use host-level access and user authentication and with satisfy any i can grant access but like said before, access_compat reports an error but i can access the site without any problems! if i only use host-level access then access_compat doesn't report an error if i only use user authentication then access_compat also doesn't report an error it only happens when using both with satisfy any though all works fine it doens't look good as i always have errors in the error log what should i do? is there a work-around? or should i file a bug report? and if yes, where can i do that? thanks & all the best becki -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] opensuse and disable postifix suseconfig
by josef Karliak 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

Hi there, when I added IPv6 in the yast2 lan, Suseconfig destroyed all my postfix configuration (main.cf and master.cf). As I can see, it was replaced by the /etc/sysconfig/postfix . Why it is like that ? Is there any reason to do it ? This "issue" is on opensuse 12.3 and opensuse 13.1. I understand, that it is necessary to restart postfix after "changing" networking and I understand that SUSEconfig should restart postfix, bud using some damned defaults when postfix is configured ? Any ideas or explains? Thanks and best regards J.Karliak. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Athalon 8350 Video Driver
by Joseph Loo 27 Aug '14

27 Aug '14

I am having a problem with the Athalon 8350 process with APU. The default Linux drivers seem to blackout for about 10 seconds, freeze the screen, 100% CPU utilization (Xorg process) etc. I tried the ioda radeon drivers but the graphical system or X11. According to the log I get [ 46.231] (--) fglrx(0): Chipset: "AMD Radeon HD 8400 / R3 Series" (Chipset = 0x9830) [ 46.231] (--) fglrx(0): (PciSubVendor = 0x1043, PciSubDevice = 0x8623) [ 46.231] (==) fglrx(0): board vendor info: third party graphics adapter - NOT original AMD [ 46.231] (--) fglrx(0): Linear framebuffer (phys) at 0xc0000000 [ 46.231] (--) fglrx(0): MMIO registers at 0xfeb00000 [ 46.231] (--) fglrx(0): I/O port at 0x0000f000 [ 46.231] (==) fglrx(0): ROM-BIOS at 0x000c0000 [ 46.259] (II) fglrx(0): Invalid ATI BIOS from int10, the adapter is not VGA-enabled [ 46.259] (EE) fglrx(0): Invalid video BIOS signature!

[opensuse] dd to mirror before upgrade?
by Hylton Conacher (ZR1HPC) 26 Aug '14

26 Aug '14

Hi, I have a production system that runs OpenSuSe 11.2 that currently acts as a fileserver, mail gateway and workstation. This same production system is on older hardware and thus cannot boot from USB, but can from DVD/CD. The version of dd in Coreutils is 7.1. My aim is to to upgrade this software to to the latest and greatest the hardware will allow, however before doing a fresh install, I need to preserve the user file and mail server stores i.e. non root users. The entire system is under 2GB and given I have a a 2TB Drobo storage unit attached via USB that is owned by root, I assume this to be possible. With the insertion of a Live CD to detect the system and attached USB connected drive array(Drobo), could I use dd to copy the system across and preserve all user permissions, users, groups etc? A command of: $dd if=/ of=/drobo/ fsync noatime nofollow That would enable me to then upgrade the system, restore the /home and /etc folders without overwriting any new files and then either learn to use kbackup or SSH/rsync etc to implement a proper backup to Drobo. Possible?, snafu's?, other thoughts? Regards Hylton -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] A decent image viewer for openSUSE 13.1
by Istvan Gabor 26 Aug '14

26 Aug '14

Until now I used kuickshow image viewer in openSUSE. The reason I liked it so much that almost everything related to viewing images could be done using the keyboard. In openSUSE 13.1 with KDE4 now I have gwenview. Only a few things can be done with it using the keyboard. I do not need an image organizer, I need a viewer for looking images in a selected directory. In kuickshow using keyboard commands I could: -switch on/off full screen -zoom to fit screen, switch to original size, zoom in/out -rotate images to right, left, flip, mirror image -move to next, previous, first, last image -increase/decrease brightness and contrast All the above without modifying the image. In gwenview if I rotate ans image the program wants to save it modified, which I don't want. I don't want a viewer to be able to modify an image, except if I directly specify to -delete, copy, save image, which could be done too in kuickshow using the keyboard. I just found that in gwenview I can not decrease (zoom out) the images size for view, ie zoom out does nothing.

[opensuse] rsync without going up the directory tree
by Per Jessen 26 Aug '14

26 Aug '14

I'm trying to copy rsync -av server:"/dir/jessen/.* /dir/jessen/*" /home/somedir The idea being everything under /dir/jessen/ should end up under /home/somedir. This works fine except rsync also picks up '..' and traverses up the directory tree, which I certainly don't want. I've tried a few variations with --exclude and --exclude-from, but nothing has worked. Any hints? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (12.9°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Join an openSUSE 13.1 PC to a Windows 2008 Domain
by Pablo Dotro 25 Aug '14

25 Aug '14

Hello All! I am trying to "join" an os 13.1 PC to a Windows Domain. What I want is to use Windows' AD (Windows 2008 R2)as the primary means my users use to log in to the workstation. We already have a very large Windows infrastructure, these are the first steps in testing Linux for acceptance. I used the "Samba server" and "Domain Membership" options in YAST (I'm using KDE4). This way I managed to get the PC "added" to the domain (it appears in Windows "Domain Users and Computers" MMC snapin). I have selected "Use SMB information for linux authentication" in the Domain Membership section of Yast. In the kdm greeter now I see the options to validate against the domain. However, all attempts to log in with valid windows credentials fail, both selecting the authentication realm with the dropdown and using the DOMAIN\User syntax. Any clue is appreciated ;-) -- Pablo M.
