Hmm? Nothing has changed from 9.x to 10.0, security updates happen as before. >b) For how long are severe security fixes applied to Released? 6 > months until the next GM release? This happens like it was for the last years. For box releases we usually do that for 2 years. If EDGE still gets frozen and released every 6 months there is probably no need to change that cycle and currently no one has stepped up to me and told me that this will change.

[opensuse] Using openvpn as transparent tunnel
Hi! Does somebody has an experience on creating a "transparen" tunnel over openvpn? What I have tried is a slight modification (just to make it work) of /usr/share/doc/packages/openvpn/contrib/openvpn-fwmarkroute-1.00/fwmarkroute.* As a result, I can see a ping replies going over the tunnel, but due to some reason they don't reach the applications. The scheme of what I have right now is: |work| < openvpn tunnel -> |home| here work and home are 2 machines, with an openvpn endpoints 10.1.0.(1|2) respectively. The tunnel between them forks fine. Afterwards I add on home the following: ip rule add fwmark 2 table vpn.out iptables -A OUTPUT -t mangle -p "$proto" -d "$remote" --dport "$remote_port" \ -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -t mangle -d "$remote_network" \ -j MARK --set-mark 2 iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o "$1" -j SNAT --to-source "$4" ip route add "$remote_network" via "$5" table vpn.out ip route flush cache With this a "ping work" produces output like $ tcpdump -i tun0 04:32:47.530487 IP 10.1.0.1 > kvip88: ICMP echo request, 04:32:47.547018 IP kvip88 > 10.1.0.1: ICMP echo reply, . but the packets don't reach the applications. I believe that it's not a firewall issue, as I see the same trouble even with firewall switched off. -- Best regards, Alexander. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: [opensuse] Configuring DHCP fixed-lease address using YAST
Gotcha. What your want is to setup a DHCP reservation.
I don't know how you do it in Yast, but I believe you can doing it by editing
dhcpd.conf. Try appending the following to it:
host yourhostname
{
hardware ethernet 00:50:da:de:3a:e4;
fixed-address 192.168.200.10;
}
Replace the series of numbers and colons on the hardware Ethernet line the Mac
address your trying to create a reservation for. Then replace the ip address
with the reserved address.
Restart dhcpd. Typing: rcdhcpd at the cl should do it for you.
Good luck.
Daniel

[opensuse] Re: www.betterdesktop.org
The participation link still doesn't answer where decisions regarding the future of OpenSuse are made and how people can influence their outcome. I realize there are probably private mailing lists and such where overall decisions on feature sets are made and goals are set, and they don't need the needless pestering of people who aren't actively involved in the project, but some insight into this process would go a long way. >From my perspective exploring Linux over the past couple of years it has been this "last mile" of communication that has been downfall of the community-based distribution model. I realize that if I download the latest development builds, hang out on IRC, monitor the development mailings lists and such I'll have some idea on where OpenSuse is headed with new releases, even if I'm still not sure what I can do to change it. But if I'm someone who's just using 10.0 everyday, who files bug reports and answers questions in forums, I really don't have any idea on potential big changes until they are more or less done. This IMHO is the challenge for distributions is to actually build a true community and not be so top down/insular as to exclude anyone who's not completely involved in development. This is why people change distributions so much, is because major changes like spatial nautilus just show up in a new build and there's not much the average user can do to keep it from happening or even know it's coming.

Re: [opensuse] Open Suse installation problem, help!
I've tried that, its ide=nodma and is set in the so called "safe"
settings, but it didn't make any difference unfortunately. I did however
find this bug #115022 in bugzilla.novell.com which is the exact problem
I'm getting.
But its not clear when it'll be resolved so for now I'm stuck!

RE: [opensuse] Wireless Problem in 10.0
Jim, It is working, just not through Yast. I've been writing all of these email using it. I use the script I wrote as a work around. I makes it very easy (not as easy as it would be with Yast). Using my script all you need to do is open a terminal a root and run the script. It then asks you "Where do you want to log on?" I've set up 3 options for myself, but you can set up as many as you like. If decide to setup 10 and want my script just ask. It's my first attempt at bash scripting, but it works.

Christoph, I do think that this is the problem with communication in many open source projects is that we think that signing up for a users mailing list will give us some insight and say in future releases, whereas it seems to be more of a first level support situation. Some of what this thread is talking about goes beyond offering patches and bug reports and more into the general direction of the project. For example "please don't make OpenSuse yet-another-gtk-centric distribution" isn't exactly a bug report/patch situation. How does someone who's not a developer or Novell employee get involved in the openness you discuss, and find out what's being planned for upcoming releases? Sander P.S.

Benjamin, Thanks for the suggestion, but the only way I can get it to work is by running iwconfig and dhcpcd. They all is well. Do you have to run those steps every time you boot?

RE: [opensuse] Wireless Problem in 10.0
Reinhard, Give up? Ha! Not hardly. I posted this question to 3 forums and this mailing list; I'm determined. My wireless card is an Intel pro wireless 2200BG (ipw2200 module). Restarting the network service doesn't fix it. It behaves exactly like it does at boot. Per you suggestion, I changed my LAN port to activate on cable connect. Still the same results. Thanks!

What happens when you issue "/etc/init.d/network restart" (as user root) ? Have you set up an additional LAN port ? If yes, did you enable "on cable connect" for "device activation" in the section [advanced]-[detailed settings] of the LAN port configuration ? I had similar problems as I started with SuSE 9.3 on my notebook. Using "on cable connect" for the LAN port helped to get the WLAN port running more stable. Never give up !

[opensuse] "upgraded" to V10 finally
I have finally managed to get my hands on V10 .. the evaluation DVD. Lots of great software as allways. But must say I was disappointed. Someone on the list said that they had severe problems getting the system to run for the first time since V8 .. . Well kinda similiar experience a bit. Been uising SuSE since 8.1 . I bought retail V 8.1,8.2,9.0 & 9.3 . All them installed & booted usually fine. Some have been more unstable than others ((8.1 & 9.1(the first 2.6 version .. right?)come to my mind) . 8.2 & 9.3 have prob in my opinion been the best of the ones I know. My lovely Wacom tablet wasnt recognized for the v10 install (no prob in 9.3 or 9.2) . When the system booted for the first time ... it very much stopped after finishing the boot-runlevel & changing into runlevel 5. I had the tablet (USB) & USB wireless adaptor plugged in. It took it something like several hours to get from end of boot-level to "starting HAL" after that I lost my nerves ... & reset ... take out the USB bits .. & it booted fine (there now are all these configuration things being shown on 1st boot .. might have been there akready in 9.3 ... reminded me of installing Ubuntu :-) . Once I got my tablet running it behaved very similiar to new Vector versions ... I guess there have been kernel changes recently .. movement of the pen above the tablet is not noticed .. only when the pen actually touches the tablet surface ... & additionally to that the mouse jumps not relativly the same distance as the pen does when I put it at a different corner of the tablet (its okay if I lost ye in my crappy description 8-) ) . So its quite unusable & highly irritating. Yet have to explore the rest. Xept for the above things there seem to have been nice improvments everywhere :-) This realease seems a bit rushed I have the feeling as Ive never had problems with the first boot until V10.

Hi Reinhard, If you boot to run level 3, log in as root and run "sax2 -l" (lower case "L"), SaX2 will run in standard VESA compliant low resolution (VGA) mode, which is supported natively in hardware, (no special external drivers needed) in every PC graphics subsystem marketed in at least the past ten years. If you're getting a text console and can log into run level 3, *and* if your hardware is not broken in some way or misidentified during installation, "sax2 -l" will work. If it *doesn't* work, that is a clear sign that there is something fundamentally wrong at the hardware level... either: - the hardware is not supported - the hardware is not recognized properly (meaning the installer is getting confused and misidentifying it, thereby creating inappropriate config files) - there is actually something wrong with the hardware: - wrong BIOS settings - a mix of unsupported+supported parts producing confused probe results - damaged or improperly installed components IMHO, it isn't fair or reasonable to dump on SaX2 until you've ruled out these possibilities. regards, - Carl - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That depends on your definition of open: using Bugzilla to report a bug or issue a feature request is usefull, but open development to me would be that I can take the source, make a patch which does what I would like and sent that to a mailing list for discussion/review.

Re: [opensuse] OpenSUSE OSS 10, install stops between CDs
I have also seen problems similar to this. With my system I could start the install on either drive, but had to complete it with the cdrom drive and not the burner in all cases. I moved the jumpers on the drives and tried again with the reult being it would look for the CD in the burner. The only conclusion I can come up with is that it is looking for the CD in the IDE master and not the slave. Is it possible that the installer epxects to find the CD mounted on the master and not the slave? Regards, Andy Michael Nelson wrote: I have a DVD drive and a CD burner drive. I started the install on the DVD because the read speed is a little faster. It booted from it fine and installed from #1. Finished #1 and asked for #2... put #2 in and it finished from #2 and asked for #3. Put #3 in, and it started giving abort/retry/ignore errors on every file. I aborted and started over. Second time through, same ... until I noticed that when it asked for #3 and I clicked on the EJECT button on the dialog box (first time through I had ejected using the button on the DVD drive instead of the mouse button), it slid the carrier for the *CD burner drive* out instead of the DVD drive that I had started the install with. I put #3 in the CD burner drive and continued, and it finished the install of #3, #4, and #5 all using the CD burner. Somehow the install got confused and switched drives in the middle of the install. I've never seen *that* happen before!

Re: [opensuse] OpenSUSE OSS 10, install stops between CDs
I have had a similar problem. Sometimes simply removing and replacing the CD worked for me, but in the end I had to restart the install several times before it finally got through all 5 CDs. On one of my machines the install error led me to replace the cdrom drive, which was indeed bad. Regards, Andy Mello wrote: Hi list, I'm not new to Linux nor to the Suse flavour. Installed it many times without a single real issue but this time... When CD 1 is done and the usual window pops up requesting the successive CD to be inserted I put CD 2 in, hit [OK] and the following error happens: Media: mount failed. Now: - md5sums are OK, - I've changed my CDs several times (they are rw, either Mmore or Maxell), - CDs can be read in other computers, - I've changed the CD drive (which always works fine with first CD).

Quoting betterdesktop.openSUSE.org: "Over the past year, we have > conducted many usability tests on different parts of the KDE and GNOME > desktops." That's not my point, I know they did test on both KDE and GNOME, but I can't see ximian as an unbiased entity when you are doing those tests. Have they developed improvements for KDE since Novell took them over? > > Is Novell's desktop future on GNOME? > > No. Neither GNOME nor KDE are the privileged Novell desktop environment - > they both have the same status. But what about specific installation tooling and new applications: I don't hope Novell is creating a Yast specific for GNOME, one for KDE and one written in MONO? It could be done off course by using something like an observer like pattern: create the functionality (backend) once and have different views on it using a GNOME/KDE/... frontend. What are the ideas on this for the OpenSUSE project? As a usability example: I would like to have the ability to make some improvements (in my opinion) to e.g. you: When downloading the patches and everything went will I don't want to press the Finish button myself, I would like a checkbox that gives me the option to specify the behaviour I described above. When will development be open for these kind of issues, and who will decide if a proposed patch will be included or not? Some short info about myself to put my remarks above in place: I'm a software developer based in the Netherlands, started in 1990 with Ultrix on a VAX and started with the SLS Linux distribution in 1993. I have developed technical software which mostly also included user interfaces for e.g. wafer steppers, air/vessel traffic control, radiotherapy and I'm currently working on self-checkout solutions for supermarkets. I've almost always worked on a UNIX/Linux platform. > Regards > Christoph Have a nice weekend, Aschwin Marsman -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.marsman.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
