This is a step back from 13.1, which at least could get it's own IPv6 address via dhcp. I'll try installing dhcpcd 6.10 and see what happens. Any configuration required? I have put in a request for dhcpv6-pd to be added, but I shouldn't have had to. This is something that's becoming essential.

Searching is good, mind you. Well, I don't think it is possible. It is a bunch or kit, you buy it all and only use what you wish. It is funny that some people owning an Android phone think that they don't have gmail. They do, of course, it comes with the phone. They just are not aware of it because it was set by the shop clerk. The nuisance for me comes when I ask them what is that address, because I made some photos at an event with them, and they want to see those photos. The easiest is just to share them with the "Photo" app in Android, associated with the gmail account of the phone or tablet. They give me their yahoo address instead which of course does not work. However, I have the feeling of seeing somewhere some google app used with a non google account. But I can't remember which or if it is accurate. Maybe it is incorrect, just gmail reading yahoo mail or similar. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

[opensuse] incoming tcp connections with ECN
by Per Jessen 31 May '16

31 May '16

I am having a bit of an issue with a customer and their inbound traffic to us. It's authenticated SMTP on port 587 with TLS. For whatever reason, they're trying to negotiate ECN. The receiving systems are somewhat backlevel/due-for-update, kernel 2.6 with /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn = 0 by default. Newer systems have '2': 0 – disable ECN and neither initiate nor accept it 1 – enable ECN when requested by incoming connections, and also request ECN on outgoing connection attempts 2 – (default) enable ECN when requested by incoming connections, but do not request ECN on outgoing connections When /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn is 0, incoming connections appear to be simply ignored, even when the sending host switched off ECN after having tried with ECN. The solution seems to be to set /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn = 2. The question is - are there any other effects? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (21.2°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] Kernel won't load properly, touchpad won't work
by Mark Misulich 29 May '16

29 May '16

Hi, my laptop which I carry with me on business trips died, and I purchased a new laptop. Its an ASUS Q303UA, and I loaded opensuse Leap 42.1 on it today. It has one issue with hardware, the touchpad isn't recognized. I tried to find some info about how to fix this and the long and short of it is that Ubuntu guys say that the driver is in kernel 4.5x and after. The kernel which is loaded at the opensuse 42.1 install is 4.1.21-14-default. I tried to install a newer kernel, 4.6.0-4.g2a4d959-default first from this repository: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard/ However, when I try to boot with that kernel, I get the following message: Loading linux 4.6.0-4.g2a4d959-default ... error: /boot/vmlinuz-4.6.0-4.g2a4d959-default has invalid signature. Loading initial ramdisk ... error: You need to load the kernel first. Press any key to continue. I next removed the 4.6 kernel from that repository, and changed repositories to the following: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/standard/x86_64/ I installed kernel 4.6.0-4.1.g779b2fc-default, then rebooted. When I tried to boot with this 4.6 kernel, I get the same message as above with the other 4.6 kernel. I decided to try to put a lower kernel than that which was installed during the installation, and installed kernel-default 4.1.20-11 -default. With this kernel I can boot normally without any error message. I don't know how to get the 4.6 kernels to load to see if that will fix the touchpad problem. Maybe there is another way to get the touchpad working, but I am not aware of it. Does someone recognize these problems that can advise me of a solution?

[opensuse] European HAMNET - use of 44/8.

28 May '16

This is really OT, but as I mentioned it here very briefly - this is a very interesting presentation: http://www.tapr.org/pdf/DCC2014-TheEuropeanHAMNET-DG8NGN.pdf Makes me almost want to go active again, though I guess I would need to convert to an HB callsign.

Law suits are normally public so there are public documents describing the lawsuit and sometimes saying I was hired. I'd guess my highest profile case was Cisco vs Michael Lynn. Cisco stock dropped a couple billion USD one day, I was hired the next. The event in question was in the Wall street journal.

Yes mention of NAT comes up and when it does, again, > quite explicitly STUN is to be "blank". And you're absolutely 100% positive these devices are behind a NAT router? Then they must have keep-alive enabled. Anoton, your NAT router maintains a map/table of connections - internal addresses, external addresses and port numbers. Unused connections are flushed after a while. Unless the device uses STUN or keep-alive, that table will not maintain the needed information to know where to direct an incoming call. Maybe check your config for "NAT Keep Alive". The screenshot is from my SPA2102 which connects directly to asterisk. /Per
