[opensuse] TCP vulnerability in Linux kernels < 4.7 on opensuse?
by Daniel Bauer 12 Sep '16

12 Sep '16

Hi, via Spanish opensuse mailing list I heard about this TCP vulnerability that allows an attacker to hijack unencrypted Web traffic, or crash encrypted communications. Googling told me, that the bug is resolved from kernel 4.7 (where on leap I am with 4.1.27 - some felt 2000 years from 4.7...). I wonder why I haven't read about that on this list (I might have missed it though). Question: Was that bug somehow patched in the recent standard opensuse kernels with the common updates like zypper up? If not, what to do?

Re: [opensuse] 42.2 Live DVD with KDE

First of all, thank you for all of your responses :) In reply to Richard Brown: > Do you realise that YOU are part of the openSUSE Team also? ;) > > The 'open' in 'openSUSE' isn't just there for fun, it's really true - > any and every contributor is part of the 'openSUSE Team'. I have never thought of myself as a "contributor". Some days ago, I was just an openSUSE "user". Now that I said "I'm available, I'm here to help", I'm excited to think that I'm an openSUSE Team member! :-D > The reason we do not do official Leap Live media is because no one has > been willing to do the work required to make it fully supportable. I think Live media are important, I want to do that, now openSUSE has got me! ;-) > All of this work is you can do as part of the openSUSE Project, you do > not need to go off and do it on your own. It's just that I want to do things my way and then contribute back to openSUSE. I imagined working that way: let's say I finished that LiveDVD, it's working, it's functional. Then I would call the openSUSE Project, send my LiveDVD code, and say: "Do you want that? If you think that's useful for the Project, let's work on it to make it official (or integrate it into the existing official)". Maybe the openSUSE Team would add or remove some things, but my version of the LiveDVD would still be there on my website available for download, for those who think it would be more appropriate for their needs. Diversity also strengthens Linux :-) To illustrate what I say: the version of Wine available on the official Leap 42.1 repos is not the newest one. The openSUSE Team decided that was the best version to ship with Leap 42.1 and they did it. Personally, I think the best version of Wine to use is always the latest version, because Wine is kind of a reverse engineering, trial and error project, they evolve every day. So, I would distribute Leap 42.1 with the newest version taken from the Wine OBS project instead: https://github.com/kamarada/kiwi-config-Kamarada/commit/4ed4438409901f938d6… And I would rebuild that Live image every month or so, to assure everyone downloading it would always use the latest packages available. Note that I include the Update repo on my config.xml file: https://github.com/kamarada/kiwi-config-Kamarada/commit/d58c37448adb521db43… And I always name my ISO images with the date they were built: https://sourceforge.net/projects/kamarada/files/distribution/leap/42.1/iso/… https://sourceforge.net/projects/kamarada/files/distribution/leap/42.2-Alph… I've been experimenting with openSUSE, KDE, OBS and KIWI for a while. In the past, I even thought about customizing the whole desktop appearance and launching kind of a spin-off of the openSUSE Linux distribution: https://github.com/kamarada/branding-Kamarada/commits/13.2 https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:kamarada:Playground/branding-K… https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=858812 I gave it away. It was much work to just one person. Besides that, openSUSE is already very beautiful and complete, there's no much to add. Since Leap 42.1, I decided to spread and contribute to it: https://kamarada.github.io/ But I still want to distribute it someway different than the original, mainly customizing the software selection and some settings, that's why I want to have my own LiveDVD. ^_^ > I also know of others who are working on this for Leap 42.2 already. I want to get in touch with them, let's work together! :-D > Your best bet would be to discuss your progress so far and what next > steps on the correct mailinglist - that would be > opensuse-factory(a)opensuse.org I will do it. > I wrote a blog about this a few months back, might be good reading if > you feel you need a little more direction about how to get started as > an 'official' contributor - > https://rootco.de/2016-04-03-opensuse-and-you/ Thank you for the direction, I'm going to read it! > Thanks for your work so far, And thank you for the great distro I use for 4 years now! :-D Replying to the rest of you, I've seen you started a discussion about Live USB sticks being distributed (or not) in SUSE events. Well, I can't add much to that discussion, because I've never been to such events, but let me say the cheapest USB stick here in Brazil, which is already enough to store a Live persistent system, is 8GB and it's fairly easy to find by R$ 20,00 (something between $5 and $7). That's the price for the final consumer, which includes importation taxes (we don't make it here), public taxes (one of the higher, if not the highest, in the world) and, of course, the profit of the seller, distributor, manufacturer... so, I believe an USB stick is indeed a cheap technology. I cannot opine, however, if SUSE has conditions of distributing openSUSE in USB sticks during events.

[opensuse] Connecting to new windows clients via remote desktop (just an FYI)
by Christopher Myers 31 Aug '16

31 Aug '16

So, we've been spawning 2k8 and 2k8R2 and 2k12 servers here at work, and the old tsclient/rdesktop connection doesn't work anymore. Whenever I'd try, it'd give this error: Failed to connect, CredSSP required by server I did some poking around and found this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1075697 I was able to get things working in openSuSE 13.1 evergreen by doing: xfreerdp -u username -d domain muremoteadm2:3389 For my tsclient config, I did the following: Add connection...custom command Command: /usr/bin/xfreerdp -u username -d domain muremoteadm2:3389 Check the "run in terminal window" box (so that I don't have to save my password in the profile.)

[opensuse] which which?
by Michael Fischer 31 Aug '16

31 Aug '16

Once upon a time, SuSE had a which(1) which was actually type(1) with " -a". Recently noticed that which(1) is now actually /usr/bin/which. Just curious, but what was the reason for the back and forth?

[opensuse] what does zypper's type "application" mean and how do I find details about it?
by mararm 31 Aug '16

31 Aug '16

Hello, on installing some (unrelated) package zypper just told me » The following application is going to be REMOVED: "System Tray" « Getting curious, I 'zypper se "System Tray"'ed and it came up with » S | Name | Summary | Type --+-------------+---------+------------ i | System Tray | | application « Wanting to know what this might be, I 'zypper info "System Tray"'ed, just to be told » package 'System Tray' not found. There would be 1 match for 'application:System Tray'. « Ok, trying that ... » $ zypper info "application:System Tray" Information for application System Tray: ---------------------------------------- Info for type 'application' not implemented. « Huh? Searching in yast did not yield anything useful either. So two questions: - What does zypper mean by this "application" type? - What is this "System Tray" application and how am I supposed to find out?

[opensuse] Raspberry PI 3 experiences.
by Roger Oberholtzer 30 Aug '16

30 Aug '16

Anyone have experience running Tumbleweed JeOS on the Raspberry PI 3? We are looking at using these as an embedded device controller. GPIO interrupts (very high rate) and that sort of thing. Is openSUSE stable on this device? How complete is device support? Specifically the GPIO. I would imagine it is accessible via the same device driver as other Raspberry Linux OSs. The openSUSE docs are a bit sparse... Feedback is welcome. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Chromium Version 52.0.2743.116 (64-bit)

Hi Seems like everything i touch these days on tumbleweed is crashing, kmail is still crashing at will, at least the akonadiserver issue has gone away. Zooming in/out on openstreetmap is causing the "Aw snap" message at will. I've had it happen on other tech websites but using openstreetmap will always kill that page. Anyone else having fun with chromium? -- Qt: 5.6.1 KDE Frameworks: 5.25.0 kf5-config: 1.0 KDE Plasma: 5.7.4 Kernel: 4.7.2-1-default "openSUSE Tumbleweed" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] 42.2 Live DVD with KDE
by Linux Kamarada 28 Aug '16

28 Aug '16

Hi everyone. As the openSUSE Team decided not to do official Live media for Leap 42.1 (maybe that decision remains for 42.2?), I decided to help the project trying to do Live media myself. You can check my work here: - Download of ISO image: https://sourceforge.net/projects/kamarada/files/latest/download - KIWI source: https://github.com/kamarada/kiwi-config-Kamarada/tree/42.2 I think Live media are worth it because they are the entrance port for many newbies to Linux. I myself tried Linux a lot before actually installing it. They are also useful in many scenarios. I myself used Live media many times at school and university to avoid Windows viruses and use my favorite desktop and software. With that Leap 42.2 Live media, I tried to come as close as possible from a clean openSUSE Leap 42.2 install made using Network install. Except for Brazilian Portuguese translations and some customizations to YaST Firstboot welcome message and workflow, my Live media is equivalent to a clean openSUSE install. I want to do a few more customizations, mainly to software selection, like adding Wine. You can see what I've done until now in the commit history: https://github.com/kamarada/kiwi-config-Kamarada/commits/42.2 - Support for VirtualBox (tested) and VMware (not tested yet) virtual machines - Pattern laptop - YaST Firstboot to setup language, keyboard layout, license agreement, date and time - Empty root password (no need to worry about it while using the Live system) - Live installer (installation not tested yet, but the installer starts and should work) - Persistent LiveUSB (tested) I'm facing some issues, which I reported at GitHub, and I would appreciate the help of any of you who have sufficient knowledge to solve them (maybe someone who knows very well openSUSE and/or KIWI could help solving those issues): https://github.com/kamarada/kiwi-config-Kamarada/issues/ Briefly, here is what I'm facing: 1) I'm unable to ping, when I try to do so I get the following error message: ping: error while loading shared libraries: libcap.so.2: cannot stat shared object: Permission denied 2) Live system loses keyboard configuration after initial setup, it looks like YaST Firstboot does not store the keyboard layout I select 3) LiveDVD asks for root password although it is empty (a Live media I've made previously for Leap 42.1 was not affected by that issue) Any help would be really appreciated.
