[opensuse] Usb Wireless Stick – Connection problem
by Benjamin 27 Sep '14

27 Sep '14

Hi everyone! I have a problem with my new usb wireless stick which is a edimax … . The stick is recognized by the system and the kernel modules (rtl8192cu, rtlwifi, rtl_usb, rtl8192cu_common) are loaded. I tried the stick at two different places. In the first place it worked out of the box without any problem and at home i don´t manage to get it workin. The interface is trying to establish a connection but somehow it is not possible to receive packages, as far as I see… linux-29po:/home/benji # lsusb | grep Edimax Bus 003 Device 055: ID 7392:7811 Edimax Technology Co., Ltd EW-7811Un 802.11n Wireless Adapter [Realtek RTL8188CUS] linux-29po:/home/benji # lsmod | grep rtl rtl8192cu 102305 0 rtl8192c_common 71013 1 rtl8192cu rtl_usb 18877 1 rtl8192cu rtlwifi 90192 2 rtl8192cu,rtl_usb mac80211 635601 6 rtl8192cu,rtl_usb,rtlwifi,rt2800lib,rt2x00pci,rt2x00lib cfg80211 522716 3 rtlwifi,rt2x00lib,mac80211 linux-29po:/home/benji # uname -a Linux linux-29po.site 3.11.10-21-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jul 21 15:28:46 UTC 2014 (9a9565d) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux System: Opensuse 13.1 Any ideas what i coud try?

Re: [opensuse] Running old version

Hi, time to answer finally. So as you probably know I'm the "founder" of Evergreen just in case.

Your ideas are quite ok. I actually always would liked to have an LTS version maintained for say 5 years free of charge. I discussed this years ago as well but people like to discuss with no action being taken. That's why I just turned it around and started Evergreen for 11.1 to see what can be done. After 11.1, 11.2 and 11.4 I can tell you the following: - no, it's not that much effort to continue maintenance up to 3 years and probably a bit more - it'll get hard starting from 3 years if you cannot do for example service packs to upgrade parts which cannot be maintained anymore - service packs are a big beast. Not sure if the community can or want to help enough to get that tested and shipped. - you need more people but they didn't show up during all the time - we had some contributors for certain packages (don't know the number but something in the range from 5-10) but almost all monitoring and responsibility for everything which was not taken by someone else was on two people (thanks Stefan) - this was also the reason we had to end 11.4 maintenance after the announced lifetime. It was getting to exhausting as a spare time project I'm totally proud what we achieved because it showed that it's not too much effort but if you get too few people to help you are screwed. That is also why the Evergreen plans for now are not going to change unless I see changes in "resources". That might be more contributors or also other incentives to increase the motivation of the volunteer ;-) If we have a better understanding what resources are available we can talk about what to change in the Evergreen/LTS structure. Discussing it, and this is what I've learned, doesn't bring us anywhere. There are a lot of people demanding it but practically almost noone want to invest anything. I'll enjoy to have a rest until Evergreen for 13.1 is starting again and being able to do a few other things instead.

[opensuse] Bash Vulnerability - stupid question
by Daniel Bauer 26 Sep '14

26 Sep '14

Hi, OS 12.3 Do I have to keep an eye on updates of bash and readline or will they come in automatically with the updater-applet when ready? (As I haven’t noticed any related updates till yesterday I updated them with Yast, but as I read there is another problem yet to be solved and I'd like to know if I can simply forget it and leave it to the updater...)

[opensuse] Zypper forgets trusted keys
by Simon Heimbach 26 Sep '14

26 Sep '14

Hello altogether! For some time, I noticed on several opensuse installs that I have to confirm the signatures of software repositories when launching Yast/Software or Zypper. Indeed, the auto-update via Apper often fails due to this problem. I always choose "trust always" (in german "(i)mmer vertrauen") in hope that zypper doesn't lock again due to unknown signatures. But soon these keys are forgotten again and I have to "retrust" the same keys. I have some OBS projects includes, so do these keys change in OBS when a developer commits new software? Is this behavior intended? Am I doing something wrong? Thank you! Simon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Running old version
by Christopher Myers 26 Sep '14

26 Sep '14

I have a quick question for folks who run old versions of oS. I know that there are a lot of folks (myself included) who are running older versions of oS, because they don't really have a reason to upgrade - everything is working properly and has been configured over the course of many months to run smoothly and exactly the way we want/need it to. My question is - how do other folks handle security vulnerabilities like this current bash vulnerability? Since oS isn't releasing patches for 11.4, 12.2, etc. anymore, how do you get around that? Just leave your machines vulnerable? Or compile your own patches? Chris -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Yeah - I understand that.

Along with the inapropriateness of that comment, the only sound I hear is the sound of my keyboard buttons. Are you blind and using a text reader?
