[opensuse] Leap: kcheckpass no longer suid
by Urs Beyerle 13 Jan '17

13 Jan '17

Hi, We recently update our clients from 13.2 to 42.2. And kcheckpass seems to have no longer set the suid bit (starting from 42.1 I guess). Is there a reason why? I guess security? But without suid bit set screensaver unlocks only if /etc/ldap.conf is world readable. Otherwise I get in KDE kcheckpass[14251]: pam_ldap: missing file "/etc/ldap.conf" However, we store our ldap passwd in /etc/ldap.conf for pam_ldap authentication. Setting /etc/ldap.conf world readable allows local users to see the bind password, which is not at all ideal. What is less secure? suid for kcheckpass or readable bind credentials? Or have I missed something? Thanks for any hint on this topic. Cheers, Urs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] MySQL / MariaDB advice
by Roger Oberholtzer 13 Jan '17

13 Jan '17

I have a web site that used a MySQL database for it's data. This has been running on openSUSE 12.3. I am moving it to Tumbleweed. I would prefer, if possible, just to copy the existing MySQL stuff (var/lib/mysql) to the new server and run MySQL. I am hoping to eliminate this web site, so I don't really want to invest too much time. So I wonder, can I just: 1. Copy /var/lib/mysql from the old to the new server 2. Install and enable mysql-community-server I think that looks optimistic. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Installation of Leap 42.2 failing
by Marc Chamberlin 13 Jan '17

13 Jan '17

Hi - I downloaded the ISO image for Leap 42.2 to install it on my brand spanking new ASUS laptop and ran into an unexpected issue. (I did verify the MD5 checksum so suspect the DVD I put the image on is OK.) The installation starts up OK with a lot of text output and gets to the point where 3 overlapped green bars are showing progress and at that point it opens up a dialog box asking me what the URL is for the repository. It gives me 3 options for the CD, the hard drive, and the internet URL. I chose CD obviously but it acts like nothing is there and keeps asking. My guess is that something is wrong with the basic CD/DVD driver that is being installed? Funny that the installation started up OK from the DVD but then it appears to lose the ability to talk to it at some point... Do you want me to send any more info? How do I proceed? Thanks in advance, Marc... -- "The Truth is out there" - Spooky -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Managing PPD options via lpadmin
by Josef Wolf 12 Jan '17

12 Jan '17

Hello, I am trying to create a printer and set its options in one go. The man page for lpadmin states that you can set PPD options like this: # lpadmin -p OfficeJet8600 -v socket://printhost.do.main -m hp-ojp8600p.ppd -o DefaultPageSize=A4 Unfortunately, this don't work for me: # grep DefaultPageSize /usr/share/cups/model/hp-ojp8600p.ppd /etc/cups/ppd/OfficeJet8600.ppd /usr/share/cups/model/hp-ojp8600p.ppd:*DefaultPageSize: A4 /etc/cups/ppd/OfficeJet8600.ppd:*DefaultPageSize: Letter As we can see, the "-o DefaultPageSize=A4" ist not only ignored. The correct value that is stored in the model source file will be overwtitten by the wrong value "Letter" Why that? Any ideas?

Andrei, The systemd log message file (journalctl-b-170111a.txt )wasn't useful either?

[opensuse] etc bash.bashrc.local doesn't work?
by Richmond 12 Jan '17

12 Jan '17

If I copy /etc/bash.bashrc to /etc/bash.bashrc.local I can no longer log into the system. Why is that? It says at the top of the file not to edit bashrc but to use bashrc.local instead. What I am trying to do is stop xterm setting its title to the same thing as the bash prompt, but I am not quite sure how it does it, or why I cannot override it with xterm -T xxxx -n xxxx -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] leap 42.1 with two nvidia video cards
by h 12 Jan '17

12 Jan '17

Hi, I am successfully running a leap 42.1 system with a dual head nvidia graphics card. I am wanting to add a second dual head nvidia graphics card to my system. I had quick play and 'nvidia-settings' would not 'see' the second card. Before I trial things further are there any recent 'how to's on setting up dual cards with leap? The only 'how to's I can find are general linux from several years ago... (I am wanting to install leap 42.2, but decided I would get dual cards running first, so a common solution would be appreciated) With thanks, H -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
