I do not have a group sftp or sftponly. For what I know I am currently not using sftp. So would it be correct to comment that string out? The rkhunter warning was: Warning: The file properties have changed: File: /usr/bin/ssh Current inode: 1578894 Stored inode: 1573455 Warning: The file properties have changed: File: /usr/sbin/sshd Current inode: 1718294 Stored inode: 1715420 Warning: Hidden file found: /usr/bin/.fipscheck.hmac: ASCII text I do understand the ssh change. This is the recent openssl update. I will run propupd later but why did sshd change? An update should always leave allone sshd shouldn' it? So for the sake of understanding: why would the inode of sshd change? Since I did not understand the rational of setting up a subsystem that I do not use (I do not use ssh at all on this machine, well, everything that I do not understand (in the sense of "why" it should be activated and that points to remote functionality is making me a bit suspicious. (Sorry if I am paranoid but I had some surprise in the past). --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

[opensuse] kdialog and the latest snapshot
by ianseeks 14 Jan '16

14 Jan '16

HI I've got a back up script running at logout, its does a few rsync's but i use kdialog to display a passive popup prior to each rsync to monitor the progress. I press logout and get the blue splash as expected as the desktop disappears and as it tries to display the first popup, it crashes with an error that is almost immediately covered by my original desktop layout (task bar included sometimes). The backup script carries on happily and displaying all rest of the popups as per normal (on the desktop displayed), it completes fine and then redisplays the blue splash and then returns to the KDM login dialog. i've tried this on a different login on the same machine and it works fine. Any clues how to find out what the system crash error displayed was or what part of the system do i log the error against. regards Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] usb mouse scroll doesn't work
by Istvan Gabor 14 Jan '16

14 Jan '16

Hello: I have changed my computer. The new machine has only USB input for mouse. Previously I used PS/2 mouse and it worked well. In the new machine the scroll function of the mouse's third button doesn't work (though it works as a clickable third button). The OS is openSUSE 12.2 with KDE 3. How can I configure the mouse in it? Another problem is the mouse pointer: it disappears at some areas of the screen, eg on xsane's preview window or on window title bars between the maximize and minimize labels.

[opensuse] something like vnstat (internet usage stats) for OS 13.2?
by Daniel Bauer 13 Jan '16

13 Jan '16

Hi, I need to find out how much down-/upload I use (to know what mobile contract to choose). Googling pointed me to a program named vnstat, but that exists only for ubuntu (or to be compiled from source, which is "too much" for me). Is there something like that or a simple way to find out for OS 13.2 available somewhere, ready to install and use? I just need simple numbers: how much did I download and upload from/to internet on this single machine per day. thanks for your help.

No luck finding me anything helpful. > do you have the correct ppd file? There is only one, in /opt/brother/Printers, with symlinks in /usr/share/cups/model/ and /usr/shre/ppd/brother/. To somewhat reiterate the problem, then describe events of the day: 1-I installed 42.1 two weeks ago on this machine, including Brother's cupswrapper and lpr driver rpms for my printer, successfully and without incident (instructions on http://support.brother.com/g/s/id/linux/en/before.html?c=us_ot and http://support.brother.com/g/s/id/linux/en/instruction_prn1a.html?c=us_ot and http://support.brother.com/g/s/id/linux/en/instruction_prn3.html?c=us_ot via http://support.brother.com/g/s/id/linux/en/index.html?c=us_ot ) then set it up successfully via YaST2 printer module, printing the YaST2 test page and multiple pages from various apps. 2-Tuesday I encountered trouble printing one particular web page with 6 different Gecko browsers, but not with Firefox 10 or Konq3. This turned out to be an apparent problem with (my bank's bill pay) report page intended for printing, which I reported by email and phone to my bank's web support department. 3-Earlier today when my bank responded with instructions via email, I followed those I hadn't already done. 4-I then attempted to verify the problem isn't limited to this PC by trying to print the same page on another PC, host hpg33. My first try was to have been on one running 42.1, but the YaST2 printer driver installation process wasn't resulting in ability to print a test page. I confirmed printer functionality by printing from this 42.1 host, msi85. 5-Next I tried on a third PC, host gx745, this time with Tumbleweed/Plasma and 13.2/KDE4. The YaST2 test page failures repeated, so I deleted those, then created one via localhost;631. It claimed to succeed, but test page print again failed. I deleted that one too, then tried installing via Brother's installation shell script. It too failed at the test page step. At various times I confirmed printer still works by printing from this 42.1 PC. http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Print/BR5470/vtcap.txt is a screen dump from running the script. 6-Pain in my back like never before experienced began, interfering with thought processes and thus inhibiting progress finding the problem. 7-I tried on a fourth PC, host gx62b, again TW and K5. Nothing different. Test page failed. Again I reconfirmed ability to print on this 42.1 PC. 8-I returned to 42.1/K5 host hpg33, tried a couple of times again to create via YaST2 printer, without improvement, so I exited Plasma, and used zypper to remove *cups* packages, which also uninstalled ghost*, 5470 printer rpms, and most of K5. 9-I restored OEM versions of zypp.conf and and zypper.conf, then zypper installed every *cups* and ghost* rpm that I found installed on this PC. That installed packages that hadn't previously been installed. 10-Before reinstalling K5 with zypper, I restored my edited zypp.conf and zypper.conf (disabling recommends/suggests). I followed up installing K5 by again installing the 5470 rpms. http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Print/BR5470/cupspkgs-hpg33-os421d.txt lists the currently installed print (AFAIK) related packages. 11-After perusing https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CUPS/Troubleshooting I set debug in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf, then rebooted 42.1. 12-Configuring printer via YaST2 again wouldn't print a test page, so deleted that one and tried one with localhost:631. On completion, CUPS reports state stopped "filter failed", even though I didn't find any button to push to ask for a test page. Reprint button doesn't cause printer activity. http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Print/BR5470/cups-accesslog-hpg33-os421f.txt Scattered among the above steps were excursions to Google looking for what to do about various error messages, starting with those quoted by Patrick. Another was 'Bad driver information file "/usr/share/cups/drv/..', so I compared those two files between this machine and hpg33, and found identical timestamps and file sizes. Nevertheless, I stopped cups, then copied those two files from this machine to hpg33, then rebooted,, reloaded localhost:631, asked for a test page, and again got nothing from the printer, with latest job showing as having been completed. http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Print/BR5470/cups-errorlogdebug-hpg33-os421g.… indicates no "E" errors occurred. During the setups, the IP connection test always succeeds. Host hpg33 can ping the printer successfully too. http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Print/BR5470/ has many logs accumulated, mostly from host hpg33, split into mutiple files corresponding roughly to different boots. noteworthy is its cups page_log dates back to installation of the first cups packages, and remains 0 bytes. NAICT, the access_logs all indicate nothing but apparent successes. If it wasn't for this machine able to print, I would have to think there's a bug here somewhere causing a failure to print without any log indicating that printing did not occur. But I suspect if there is a bug, it's a missing package that should be a dependency but isn't. My head's swimming in confusion, frustration, and back pain, after around 15 hours buried in this. Can anyone see in any of those logs what I need to do to get any 13.2, 42.1 or TW installation besides this one to print anything? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse] Regarding Carlos ER's Mailinglist Ban
by Richard Brown 13 Jan '16

13 Jan '16

Hi all, Thanks to those participating in the conversation concerning mailing list moderation that did not resort to personal attacks, name calling, or implying ill will towards any particular member of the community. We have reviewed both the direct feedback to board(a)opensuse.org and all comments of the various threads and have come to the following conclusion. While the imposed ban on Carlos from the lists was justified, well intentioned and has resolved the disruption that was occurring on some lists, in retrospect the ban had further reaching impacts than expected, including removing a good source of help from this opensuse(a)o.o mailinglist. For that, we would like to apologise. We have asked the ML admin team to re-instate Carlos on opensuse@.o.o while keeping the positing restriction on other lists in place until February 14th. Again thanks to those participating in the discussion that focused on the matter of the issue. The openSUSE Board Andrew Wafaa Bruno Friedmann Kostas Koudaras Michal Hrušecký Richard Brown (Chair) Robert Schweikert -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
