[opensuse] possibly offtopic-vpn ideas: windows -> openSUSE -> windows
by Greg Freemyer 22 Apr '15

22 Apr '15

All, -- goal -- I want to be able to "remote desktop" from my house to my office, but a NAT firewall is blocking me and I don't have the ability to open a hole in the firewall. The target machine is a Windows 7 PC. I setup logmein hamachi, and I've been very disappointed how often it goes down / fails, so I want to use my own infrastructure. I have a cloud based openSUSE box I can use to build a reverse tunnel on, so I'm hoping a "remote desktop" session can be routed through the cloud based server. -- history -- I have in the past needed to remotely log into a openSUSE PC hidden behind a NAT router which I did not have control of the router to setup a firewall forwarding rule. I used autossh on the target opensuse box to establish a reverse tunnel to a cloud based linux server. Then anytime I wanted to ssh into the target I just ssh'ed into the cloud based server and my connection got forwarded to the target opensuse box. I hoping to somehow do something similar, but with MS remote desktop this time. -- ideas -- I'm totally flexible on how this is accomplished. The opensuse server in the cloud doesn't have to be part of the solution, but I suspect using it as a SSH forwarder will be my best option to let me tunnel remote desktop traffic through it most.

[opensuse] TW 20150418
by A. den Oudsten 21 Apr '15

21 Apr '15

Installing on a clean partition gave me the info that xscreensaver-data-extra failed to install. After the restart it ended in a screen with Firefox, KinfoCenter, Office, Online Help and openSUSE. Any click in the green screen produced different rectangles. No further progress. What can I do?

[opensuse] pulseaudio system-wide service fails to start
by auxsvr＠gmail.com 21 Apr '15

21 Apr '15

Hi, I've been trying to use the systemd pulseaudio service on 13.2 without success. If I start pulseaudio with exactly the same arguments as the service, it works. If I start the systemd service (package pulseaudio-system-wide), it fails. Any ideas? -- Regards, Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] apper waits and waits and waits for rights
by Daniel Bauer 21 Apr '15

21 Apr '15

Hello, Here in OS 13.2/KDE apper shows updates from time to time. I accept them, it starts doing some things and then the windows stays showing "waiting for other things" ("Warten auf andere Vorgänge"). In the process list I see that it waits for rights ("Auf die Berechtigung wird gewartet"). Butz there is no place where I could enter a password... If I click on "cancel" (abbrechen) nothing happens. This is new on 13.2. How can I give apper the rights it needs?

[opensuse] ipv6 privacy extension not working (use_tempaddr=2)

You've got a working radvd running of course. bug#916045 that you mentioned was closed as a duplicate, but it seems to be more concerned with how to set use_tempaddr=2, and less with you not getting a random address. Maybe you need to reopen and clarify the issue, I dunno. > I am not doing anything to change that value. How else would it be > changed? It used to work, but not with 13.1 I got the impression from the bugreport that you were trying to change the value. Maybe if we compare environments: I have some desktops, pads and smartphones on IPv6 - openSUSE 12.3, 13.1 and 13.2 plus various iOS and Android. Even a desktop with openSUSE 10.3. On the latter, I have just now enabled privacy extensions: sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.use_tempaddr=2 ifdown/up eth0 et voila, a random address. My router has radvd running with this config; interface eth0 { AdvSendAdvert on; clients { list of authorized link-local addresses; } RDNSS 2001:DB8:0:1::1000 { }; prefix 2001:DB8:0:1::/64 { AdvOnLink on; AdvAutonomous on; AdvRouterAddr off; }; }; -- Per Jessen, Zürich (7.4°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] sistemad - is there a way to verify the substituted commandline (ExecStart for instance) ?
by Per Jessen 20 Apr '15

20 Apr '15

I'm having a bit of trouble getting this service to work: EnvironmentFile=/etc/sysconfig/rbldnsd ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/rbldnsd $RBLDNSD_ARGS $RBLDNSD_ZONES The environment file contains the following: RBLDNSD_ARGS="-u named:named -r /var/lib/rbldnsd -b localhost/34000 -n -q -f -c 10s " RBLDNSD_ZONES="countries.nerd:ip4set:countries.nerd.dk/zz.countries.nerd.dk.rbldnsd" After I've tried to start it: # systemctl status rbldnsd rbldnsd.service - rbldnsd Loaded: loaded (/usr/local/lib/systemd/system/rbldnsd.service; disabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sat, 2015-04-11 18:27:26 CEST; 1s ago Process: 22993 ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/rbldnsd $RBLDNSD_ARGS $RBLDNSD_ZONES (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) CGroup: name=systemd:/system/rbldnsd.service Apr 11 18:27:26 berlin systemd[1]: Starting rbldnsd...

[opensuse] FF downloads->open folder open is a black & while "Files" viewer -- how to change?
by David C. Rankin 20 Apr '15

20 Apr '15

All, The downloads (downarrow) in the toolbar (next to the chat smiley face) lets you click it and see a list of recently downloaded files. When you click the little "Open Contained Folder" folder icon, FF brings up a black & white confused little file manager called "Files" created by "The Files authors". It looks like a stripped down version of nautilus. screenshot [72k] http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/suse/bugs/131/ff/files_browser.jpg How can I/can I change the hook in firefox so I can open a different browser? I've searched about:config and applications, but either didn't look under the correct (download, browser, containing, etc....) search term or didn't recognize it when I found it. Anybody know? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Dual Scroll 2 Windows (I can't recall if or how)
by David C. Rankin 20 Apr '15

20 Apr '15

All, I must be getting senile, but I recall a key combination in KDE that would that would lock the scroll of two windows together. I has been several years since I've had the need to use it, and now can remember how/what it was. I can't remember if it was a 3rd party app or something that was part of the desktop. I tend to think it was some basic part of the desktop. My google foo has failed (it must have been an obscure bit of functionality). Does anybody else recall such a feature? (If not, I'll chock it up to senility) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
