[opensuse] Ghostbusting 12.3
by Stevens 03 Feb '15

03 Feb '15

As you may know, the Ghost vulnerability of glibc was announced last week. It affects glibc < 2.18. My 13.1 has v2.18 and is ok but my 12.3 system has 2.17 and is vulnerable. I did the updates but no help. Will there be a patch released to fix 2.17? Or any other vulnerable version? I am running 12.3 because 13.1 will not install on that hardware. Thanks in advance for any help. Fred -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Recently completed a clean install of 13.2 amd-64 and the other day zypper up wanted to remove a whole list of packages. I wonder why.

[opensuse] NET isos - big size differences 131<>13.2 ?
by Per Jessen 03 Feb '15

03 Feb '15

The NET isos in 13.2 are about 25% of the NET isos for 13.1 - i586: 13.1 247Mb 13.2 68Mb Similar for the x86_64 iso: 13.1 284Mb 13.2 79Mb I have not yet compared the contents, but that's a pretty hefty difference in size. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (0.1°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] missing 32bit vmlinuz-xen and initrd-xen
by Per Jessen 03 Feb '15

03 Feb '15

In 13.1, both vmlinuz-xen and initrd-xen can be found here: http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/13.1/repo/oss/boot/i386/ In 13.2, they're no longer there? http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/13.2/repo/oss/boot/i386/ Where have they gone? thanks -- Per Jessen, Zürich (-0.6°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] rp_filter
by Per Jessen 03 Feb '15

03 Feb '15

This is, I think, a rather complex network/TCP issue. If anyone is thoroughly familiar with the workings of the tcp/ip 'rp_filter' setting, this might be a question for you. I am slowly beginning to migrate a test environment from openSUSE 11.0 to openSUSE 13.[12] (xen). In the PREV setting, I am running kernel 2.6.25.5-1.1-pae (on real iron), in the NEXT setting I am running 3.16.7-7-xen (virtual). In the PREV setting, I have the following: # cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/rp_filter 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 I.e. /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/rp_filter = 1. In the NEXT setting, I started with the same, but this prevented normal operation. Instead I had to change to: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/ipip0/rp_filter = 2 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/ipip1/rp_filter = 2 I'll be happy to explain the details of network setup (involves lvs, ipip tunnels and some masquerading). -- Per Jessen, Zürich (1.4°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] NIS client not functional after upgrade from opensuse 12.2->13.1
by josef Karliak 02 Feb '15

02 Feb '15

Good morning, after offline distro update (actualization from DVD) I cannot list users from ypages: ypcat passwd No such map passwd.byname. Reason: Can't bind to server which serves this domain rpcbind and ypbind service is up and working and listening (netstat -tcp --listen listed this ports). If I test my /etc/yp.conf by "ypbind -c", output is "Config file /etc/yp.conf is ok." But yptest couldn't communicate with ypbind:yptest Test 1: domainname Configured domainname is "<as_it_is_set)" Test 2: ypbind Can't communicate with ypbind netstat -tcp --listen | egrep "ypbind|rpcbind" tcp 0 0 *:busboy *:* LISTEN 23717/ypbind tcp 0 0 *:sunrpc *:* LISTEN 20394/rpcbind tcp 0 0 *:sunrpc *:* LISTEN 20394/rpcbind tcp 0 0 *:busboy *:* LISTEN 23717/ypbind tcp 0 0 *:sunrpc *:* LISTEN 20394/rpcbind tcp 0 0 *:sunrpc *:* LISTEN 20394/rpcbind What did I missed ?

[opensuse] AST2400 graphics
by Roger Oberholtzer 02 Feb '15

02 Feb '15

Is anyone using the AST2400 graphics chipset with X11? We are looking at a SuperMicro motherboard that has this. We usually put an NVIDIA card in the machines and skip the on-board graphics. But this is the first time we have come across the AST2400. So I thought I would check what people think. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] IPv6 dhcp server
by James Knott 02 Feb '15

02 Feb '15

Is there an IPv6 dhcp server available for openSUSE 13.1? According to online searches, dhcp6s should be available, but I can't find it. RPMfind only has it for 11.4. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] spyker dock
by jdd 01 Feb '15

01 Feb '15

Hello, I just buy a "spyker sata dock" like this one http://www.amazon.fr/Spyker-DOCK-SPY-2NFREE-Station-daccueil-Disque/dp/B006… on my main computer, there is no problem. on my laptop, with usb2/usb3, it works only on the usb3 connector. As far as I can understand, it keeps trying to connect as usb3: the usb3 led flashes, and I see "xuhdi connect" (or similar word) on dmesg, several lines. I can't try it with windows as the only disk I have at hand (a ssd) have only linux file systems and windows can't read them (the device list shows a mass storage device) any idea? I would need to have several such device to copy from one to the other thanks jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How to donate to openSUSE?
by theUser BL 01 Feb '15

01 Feb '15

I think, that question is old https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/417170-Donations-to-Opensuse-team and I have read it in different forums. But without clear answer. It is possible to buy clothings/wearables http://shop.opensuse.org/ and in germany you can buy openSUSE as box http://www.edv-buchversand.de/suse/ There they write on its webside and on the box: "Open Source Press supports the community: From every sold box goes a donation to the free openSUSE-project!". But how much is the donation, when anybody buys a box for 49.95 Euro? There isn't mentioned, how many Euros going to openSUSE. Would it help more to buy a SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop https://www.suse.com/products/desktop/how-to-buy/ instead of an openSUSE box? Goes then more money to the development of openSUSE? The sad thing would be, that SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop is GNOME based. And I prefer KDE. Or is it possible to donate to openSUSE direct? A lot of OpenSource-projects have that possibility. There existing plans, to create a openSUSE-foundation https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Foundation but the last side update is from 2011 https://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Portal:Foundation&action=history Greatings theuserbl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
