[opensuse] login problem on :0 console
by Istvan Gabor 12 May '15

12 May '15

Hello: This occurs in openSUSE 13.2 with KDE 4.14.3 and corresponding KDM login manager. If I login from a remote host through ssh and start vncserver on display :1, I can't login at the :0 console. The login process starts but drops me back to the login screen. How can I fix this? Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Bios update with openSUSE?
by C. Brouerius van Nidek 11 May '15

11 May '15

Looked into subject line and found that the only way would be Dos or Windos. Having a windows7 copy just and only for such things I had a look into the bios details. No luck. The problem of any distinct Bios owner I used the service of "eSupport.com ". It software really discovered the bios origin with ease. They found me an update and I started looking into the update process. The readme file gave details which included that a floppy should be used in the process. No floppy so I asked the so called technical service of the eSupport. Nonsense answer back that it most probably was an autoexec.bat file (wrong, was a run.bat) and no solution for something more of this time, a memory stick. run.bat has the following text: @ECHO OFF ECHO. ECHO This program will create the software diskette. ECHO. ECHO Press the CTRL+C key combination to terminate! ECHO. PAUSE ECHO. ECHO Please insert a blank diskette into the floppy drive! ECHO. ECHO WARNING: All DATA on the diskette will be DELETED in the process! ECHO Press the CTRL+C key combination to terminate! ECHO. ECHO Press any key to continue . . . CALL DISKIMG.EXE RAWRITE -f DISK.IMG -d A: Copy autoexec.bat A: Copy config.sys A: Copy err_lev.bat A: Copy fdxxms.sys A: Copy findramd.exe A: Copy tdsk.exe A: Copy SW.EXE A: ECHO. ECHO Process Completed Successfully..... ECHO. ECHO Press any key to exit the program..... PAUSE :ENDMSG Has been a long time since I played around with bat files (DrDos) so I do not trust myself with changing it for the use with a mem stick. No idea where winblows hides the memstick, there naming conventions and if they still use the complete set of Dos commands in a Windows7 environment. Could somebody give me a helping hand with this run.bat? -- Linux User 183145 using KDE4 and LXDE on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 20150508 (x86_64) Kernel: 4.0.1-1-desktop KDE Development Platform: 4.14.7 11:52am up 18:16, 3 users, load average: 1.05, 0.60, 0.48 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How do I allow LAN through SUSE firewall?

[opensuse] Ripping DVDs
by Paul Groves 10 May '15

10 May '15

Hi All, I have tried ripping some of my DVDs to put them on my NAS and have found a small issue, when I use k9copy or VLC it only rips 40 mins of the film and cuts some scenes out. When I use K3b it crashes with an generic error and no log. I have already installed libdvdcss2 and this used to work fine a few weeks ago on the same computer (13.2 64-bit) I have tried 8 different movies all with the same issue from different publishers. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] How do I make DMZ using virtual machines?
by Ted Byers 09 May '15

09 May '15

I have been googling, and reading about using a DMZ. But I have yet to find information adequate to allow me to simulate use of a DMZ using virtual machines. I find it easy to make virtual machines, and have no space for extra hardware. What I want to do is set up a couple virtual machines, representing a web server hosting code that represents the business logic layer and UI of a web application, and since it is data driven, the other hosts the database server. I then want to set up a small VM representing the inner firewall, separating the DMZ from the BL and DB server. Then there would be another web server set up in the DMZ, and another small VM to serve as the outer firewall (providing a boundary between the rest of the machines on my LAN and the DMZ). The sources of information I have found so far appear to have presented the concepts well, but they provide little practical information on how to actually make a DMZ. There are several things that are not clear to me. 1) I assume that the two small VMs that serve as my inner and outer firewalls would also act as a kind of bridge, providing routing between my LAN (192.168.2.*) and a subnet (such as 192.168.1.*), represents either my DMZ or the virtual LAN behind the inner firewall; but how is that configured? What tool would I use for that? 2) Does the web server in the DMZ just get configured as some kind of proxy (meaning I only need to configure forwarding in the apache conf files), or do I need to put CGI code on it to validate request data and then forward the request on to the BL server? 3) How do I make ssh work with the DMZ so that I can actually log into the BL and DB servers, for the purpose of administering them? As an aside, how would I ensure that ssh uses only TLS 1.2 or later? This is for my own experimentation, eventually to support my own coding, for the very near term. But, when I deploy to a real host, I suppose I'd have to consult with the hosting provider to configure the provider's firewall(s) to support a DMZ; but doing this with virtual machines here I would expect to help me understand whatever issues are involved in properly using a DMZ to secure a website. I would appreciate any links to resources that show how to do all this, or at least a 'to do list' and a list of tools that could be used to complete each task that must be done.

[opensuse] What GRUB recovery option do you use?

Hi all. Following on from my post about GRUB hanging, I just wondered what - if any - disaster recovery options you use to fix a broken GRUB boot loader? I’m in the process of adding a failsafe GRUB boot process to my DR list of options.
