[opensuse] When connecting to my own dovecot server, Alpine complains that it is using self-signed certificates.
by Carlos E. R. 02 Sep '14

02 Sep '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, When connecting to my own dovecot server, Alpine complains that it is using self-signed certificates. Yes, I know about the /novalidate-cert/ option in Alpine, but I have to type it on every single folder used anywhere: config, rules, etc. And I forget some. I wonder if I could configure somewhere that my self-signed certificate is correct, signed by me, that I'm a valid authority to sign certificates inside my network. My certificate is here: Telcontar:~ # mc /etc/ssl/certs/ Telcontar:/etc/ssl/certs # l | grep dove lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jun 17 00:37 895d2550.0 -> dovecot.pem lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jun 17 00:37 906230b5.0 -> dovecot.pem - -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1058 Jun 15 2013 dovecot.pem and here: Telcontar:/etc/ssl/private # l total 12 drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Aug 13 19:33 ./ drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Aug 13 19:33 ../ - -rw------- 1 root root 916 Jun 15 2013 dovecot.pem Telcontar:/etc/ssl/private # Do I need something else? - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

[opensuse] Bashism - Seeking input on filenames that contain non-printing control characters (examples)
by David C. Rankin 02 Sep '14

02 Sep '14

All, An issue recently came up on StackOverflow.com regarding shell scripts related to the use of 'ls -opts' to populate a loop structure in a shell script. Suffice it to say *in sum*, it is good practice to avoid this use of ls and to search for an alternative solution to fit your needs. That being so, there are some cases where the loop needs data in a sort order fashion, easily provided by ls, but requiring tortured, piped multiple external calls otherwise. The tweenies (those that 'know not' and 'know not' that they 'know not') took the position that simply mentioning ls as a method to feed a loop automatically condemned you to roast in hell for eternity. (despite TLDP BASH HowTo being riddled with examples) Those that 'know', said wait a minute, it is a portability issue, and the problems protected against are just those instances where non-printing control characters are embedded in the filename, such as a newline, carriage-return or null-terminating character inside the filename itself. Taking the position that if you know the set of filenames at issue does not contain any embedded nonsense (like daily server logs, etc.), then there are no other hidden adverse effects from using ls in this capacity. Certainly you would not be condemned to hell or have your eyes plucked out by dragons if you did. So that brings up the question: "Just which files do have embedded control characters (intentionally, and not as the result of some horrible mistake)?" The only example I have uncovered thus far is the OSX 'icon' file that has a 'carriage-return' intentionally embedded as part of the filename. What others have you run across or can think of? I could think of no better or more experienced group to consult that the good old "brain-trust". So just how prevalent are these filenames with embedded control characters? -- David C.

[opensuse] Installing the gogoCLIENT on Linux for IPv6 tunnel over IPv4
by James Knott 31 Aug '14

31 Aug '14

For those who may wish to install the gogoCLIENT for an IPv6 tunnel, I've posted this article: http://www.gogo6.com/forum/topics/installing-gogoclient-on-linux The client can be run in three different modes, anonymous, static address and subnet. The anonymous and static modes provide a single IPv6 address and the subnet mode provides 2^72 address, which is about a trillion times the entire IPv4 address space. The static address and subnet modes require setting up an account, but anonymous mode doesn't. There is also a Windows client available. You can find more info here: http://www.gogo6.com/main -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Directory becomes executable file - openSUSE 13.1
by James Knott 31 Aug '14

31 Aug '14

I'm trying to compile a gogoc client, something I have done successfully a few times before. However, this time I get an error: /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.8/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lstdc++ After searching with Google, it appears the required file is libstdc++.so, which is located in /usr/lib64. According to the error, as far as I can tell, it's not looking in the appropriate directory. I started tracing the links: /usr/x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld to /usr/bin/ld to /etc/alternatives/ld to /usr/bin/ld.bfd which appears to be an executable file How did we manage to get from what's supposed to be a directory at /usr/x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld to an executable at /usr/bin/ld.bfd??? There is also /usr/bin/ld, but it too is a file. WTF??? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] KDE 4.14.0 in KDE:Current and a look to the future
by Raymond Wooninck 31 Aug '14

31 Aug '14

HI openSUSE KDE user. At this moment the KDE:Current repository is almost finished building the latest KDE SC 4.14.0 release and the expectation is that the repositories will be published very soon. It could take still some time before the KDE:Extra repository catches up. With a look to the future, KDE Upstream has decided that 4.14 will be the last KDE 4 Applications release and that after that they would switch (at least for a while) to application releases where applications are either kdelibs4 based or KF5 based. The naming for these Application releases would be KDE Applications $YEAR.$MONTH and the next one planned would be KDE Applications 14.12 and it is unknown which applications will be switching to KF5 for that particular release. For KDE:Current users, this would mean that the repository will remain kdelibs4 based and that we will just update those applications that are still kdelibs4 based. Other packages will remain on their respective latest versions. In practice this will also mean that packages will deviate in their version number (similar to what is already the situation with kdebase4-workspace). What the situation will be for KDE:Distro:Factory and openSUSE:Factory itself is not yet clear, but I would imagine that we would still remain with a default kdelibs4 based desktop and trying to ship as many kf5 applications as possible for those that want to switch. The version shipped in KDE:Current will be revisited as soon as all KDE applications are KF5 based. In all honesty I would like to avoid a setup where we would have a KDE3, KDE4 and KF5 repository.

As per the subject, IMHO this is the list: 1) BLUETOOTH doesn't works completely 2) Power Management "sucks" with laptops 3) Totem warnings the user to download plug-ins which are not necessary or which cannot get downloaded and installed I consider all the above as limitations in a modern O.S.
