[opensuse] Yast2 firstboot configuration
by Roger Oberholtzer 14 Sep '17

14 Sep '17

I am looking all over for documentation of the possible contents of /etc/YaST2/firstboot.xml. I find many examples. But I seem not to google well enough to find a description of all the various modules that can be present. As an example of what I am trying to sort out: Older openSUSE firstboots supported the following: <module> <label>Host Name</label> <enabled config:type="boolean">true</enabled> <name>inst_hostname</name> </module> When I use this in Leap 42.3, I get an error that init_hostname has failed. I want to find out if it is still called that, and what options it supports. Sometimes I seem rather stupid... -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] vncviewer on Leap 42.3
by Roger Oberholtzer 14 Sep '17

14 Sep '17

I have been using vncviewer for years to access remote openSUSE desktops from my local openSUSE. I now have two machines running Leap 42.3, and I cannot connect. The password is correct. I get a popup that says: read: Connection reset by peer (104) The command on the server (started by xinetd) is: service x11vncservice { socket_type = stream protocol = tcp wait = no user = root server = /usr/bin/x11vnc server_args = -inetd -rfbauth /etc/vncpasswd -o /var/log/x11vnc.log -find -env FD_XDM=1 -shared -forever port = 5900 type = UNLISTED } /etc/vncpasswd has the password as generated with x11vnc, as I have always done. I connect with this: vncviewer -passwd /home/roger/.vncpasswd mercury:0 or even: vncviewer mercury:0 /home/roger/.vncpasswd has the password generated with x11vnc, as I have always done.

[opensuse] Accessing/checking an Ext4 file system
by Basil Chupin 14 Sep '17

14 Sep '17

In days of old when unicorns gambolled in gay abandon in lush meadows and I wanted to check the state of the ext4 file system on my system I would, using the command line, issue the following commands (as root [I hate this word!]): # init 1 # mount -o remount,ro /dev/hdXY # e2fsck and this would inform me if the file system was alright or corrupted. The above now does not work and I get the error message, "<partition> is busy". What are the correct commands now, please, which replace those above? BC -- You are NOT entitled to your opinion.

by Rejaine Monteiro 13 Sep '17

13 Sep '17

Hi, I am having a problem to mount an nfs share from a SLES11 server to a client SLES12 (SLES11 to SLES11 works fine) The server side is a SLES11 with the following export: /home/myfolder *(rw,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash,async) The client side is a SLES12 SP2 and when having mounted it gives the following error: # mount server:/home/myfolder /mnt mount.nfs: mount system call failed * No firewall enabled on the server or on the client and both are on the same network (no problem with dns, firewall, etc... ) Any tips? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] openSUSE supports FSFE's new "Public Money, Public Code" Campaign
by Richard Brown 13 Sep '17

13 Sep '17

Hi all, openSUSE rarely involves itself in political or broad advocacy campaigns, but the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) have today launched a campaign which the openSUSE Board collectively feel very passionately about, and so we have pledged our support to their "Public Money, Public Code" campaign. The premise is nice & simple, that software developed and purchased using tax payers money should be "Public Code", as in covered under an Open Source license. If such a premise were to become policy of governments within Europe, this would bring clear benefits not only in the technical terms of accelerating the pace of innovation & simplifying discovery of security problems, but also in the financial aspect of saving taxpayers money. If you feel the same way I'd like to encourage you to sign the open letter at https://publiccode.eu Anything you can do to help spread the word and encourage support for this campaign would be greatly appreciated. The website also serves as a good source of additional information; There is also this press release: https://fsfe.org/news/2017/news-20170913-01 Spiegel Online also have an article (German only): http://spon.de/ae3Rs The campaign was also mentioned at oSC 17 earlier this year: https://youtu.be/jMdYxmjq0Vk?t=31m20s Thanks, Richard Brown openSUSE Chairman openSUSE Board -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
