[opensuse] udev rule: assign owner to a block device
by Per Jessen 26 May '18

26 May '18

On start-up, I want to assign a plain user as owner of a block device (/dev/sdb). I've googled the udev rule, does this suffice: KERNEL=="sda", OWNER="per" It works fine, I'm just thinking of any unwanted effects? The system will never have more than sda and sdb. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (20.3°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

Looking at the rkhunter source "install.sh" as well as the opensuse rpm "rkhunter-1.4.2-11.1.x86_64.rpm", both install to /usr/bin (or /usr/local/bin), so there should be no need for any PATH modification. My only other thought is somehow the permissions on the executable got messed up so you no longer have the execute bit set. Please provide an 'ls -al' listing of /usr/bin/rkh* and /usr/lib64/rkhunter/scripts (adjust the paths as required if you installed them to another directory, e.g. /usr/local/...) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. Hi, I thought about this overnight and came to the conclusion that upgrading rkhunter from a different directory than the original installation wouldn't have any bearing on whether the program would start from command line. It always started from any point the root system if I typed the command rkhunter. Now it won't. I wondered if the tarball that I downloaded was corrupted, so I removed rkhunter, and cleared the root system of every rkhunter file. Then I downloaded the tarball from sourceforge again, extracted it, and installed it. Here is the result linux-2b8:/home/lx1/Downloads/rkhunter-1.4.6 # ./installer.sh --install Checking system for: Rootkit Hunter installer files: found A web file download command: wget found Starting installation: Checking installation directory "/usr/local": it exists and is writable.

Every installation or action with rkhunter is always done in root in konsole. This seems that it is a software issue, and even though it seems to be installing correctly, it isn't doing so.

[opensuse] ifconfig et al vanished from leap 15.0
by cagsm 25 May '18

25 May '18

Just wondering, I have observed that there is no oldschool ifconfig (package net-tools or what it was called) any more. I have never grown accustomed to ip and other tools just yet ;( ip a ip li and so comes to my mind as replacements to ifconfig, but i liked the counters and some stuff of ifconfig as a brief overview. there is ss and some other tools as replacements for netstat arp and more. Maybe time to learn new things daily. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] What is the meaning of the lp150 part of the packages names in leap 15.0?
by cagsm 25 May '18

25 May '18

Lot of packages have some suffix or part of their name named lp150. What does this mean and why? Zypper dup showed me 600+ packages 'downgraded' probably due to alphabetical ordering or something for many packages when coming from leap 42.3.

[opensuse] change gnome drag direction for docs, menus, etc.
by ken 24 May '18

24 May '18

On a laptop with a touch pad: It's recently happened somehow that, when I'm In Firefox and want to scroll a long document down (e.g., to read more toward the bottom of the doc), I have to drag on the touchpad *upwards*. This is also true of all apps and widgets, e.g., to scroll down through a long menu, I have to drag *up*. Of course this is totally counter-intuitive. I've looked around quite a bit in the various configuration apps and settings, but haven't found a way to change this back to normal. Does anyone know how/where this is done? tnx much. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] openSUSE bug in Thunderbird?
by DennisG 24 May '18

24 May '18

Thunderbird by default blocks remote content in messages. The user has the option to whitelist exceptions to that rule, which should be retained by T'bird after it is closed. However, my T'bird is flushing the list every time it is closed. Checking prefs.js, the permissions are correct and the file is being saved after Preference changes. I did check prefs.js after manually entering/saving an exception in Preferences, but found nothing. The file is being saved upon doing a save in Preferences or upon closing the app. Googling the problem I found this on the Mozilla support site: "Thunderbird no longer saves remote content exceptions after program close." https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1204666 According to the OP who uses Tumbleweed, this is only happening for users of SUSE versions, including the SUSE Mozilla repo. Another poster indicated that s/he had corrected the problem by installing directly from the Mozilla site. I am running 52.8-63.1 which was just updated from 52.8-1.1 where I discovered the problem; the update did not correct it. Anyone else seeing this problem? Suggestions? Thanks! --dg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Thunderbird forgetting remote content preferences
by gumb 24 May '18

24 May '18

This might be an upstream bug but perhaps others here can confirm if they've seen the same. Not sure when it started but it might have coincided with my recent update to TB 52.8.0ESR in the official Leap 42.3 updates a few days ago. I don't allow remote content in messages by default. But there's a bunch of things I get regularly where at some point in the past I have clicked the Preferences above the message and opted to explicitly allow remote content from whatever domain or address. The last few days, this is continually forgotten, I have to do it for every message even if the content is from the same origin. gumb -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org
