[opensuse-factory] Backup button on external (USB-) harddisks
Hi all, is there anybody working on a driver? I had already several disks with such a button here, but no idea, where to start...

[opensuse-factory] kiwi-ltsp
Hi all I have been trying to get LTSP 5 working on SUSE lately and the very initial test packages are up. Download and install kiwi-desc-ltsp 0.1.9 from here: http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/cyberorg/openSUSE_10.2/noarch/ You also require kiwi, kiwi-desc-netboot and kiwi-pxeboot from: http://software.opensuse.org/download/openSUSE:/Tools/openSUSE_10.2/ Change the installation path (/mnt/iso) to your installation path. Run as root sh /usr/share/kiwi/image/kwltsp-suse-10.2/setup-ltsp.sh If everything goes right this script should setup /opt/ltsp/suse, /etc/exports, sshkeys and netboot images. Follow the output on screen. PXE booting the client should get a LTSP Display Manager through which you can log in using any account created on the server. You also require to setup dhcp and a/tftp server. You would need ssh server running, no running X required on the server. The real work of porting all the LTSP 5 scripts to SUSE will start now, for that I require help.

I usually change this with --prefix to /usr. What I always wanted to know is if there's a global config to change it to /usr. Is anything wrong with /usr/local? SUSE don't use it as I could see. No, you should use /usr/local, not /usr, you got it wrong. The local tree is reserved precisely for those packages compiled /locally/, whereas the packager of the distro uses /usr. This way it is easy to know which version is the official one and which is yours. Some people use a separate partition for /usr/local, so that we can format / while keeping our /usr/local intact. No, I mean it: use /usr, not /usr/local So, you make a package foo yourself, e.g. with checkinstall. You prefix it to /usr/local because you don't redistribute it, because it's a local package (whatever that means: a package is either in the RPM database or not, there is no local RPM database). Now you install 10.3 on it, by using new installation instead of system upgrade, because you've got /home and /usr/local on their own partitions. Guess what, the RPM database is in /var/lib/rpm, not in /usr/local. If you wipe / (but not /usr/local), it'll be broken anyway because the RPM database won't know anything about your local package in /usr/local Furthermore, maybe one day that package is provided by a SUSE repository (or packman, or build service, or suser-jengelh, or mine, ...), possibly with a different package name... You might install that package, but as your local and the redistributed packages use different prefixes, they will not conflict on files. Hence you'll end up with both versions installed. But if both packages are used as dependencies (read: shared libs or script interpreters), you might get into some rather funny behaviour. Quoting the FHS [1]: /usr/local : Local hierarchy The /usr/local hierarchy is for use by the system administrator when installing software locally. It needs to be safe from being overwritten when the system software is updated. It may be used for programs and data that are shareable amongst a group of hosts, but not found in /usr. Locally installed software must be placed within /usr/local rather than /usr unless it is being installed to replace or upgrade software in /usr. [1]http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#USRLOCALLOCALHIERARCHY But what they're not accounting for is the RPM database. As I explained above: if you wipe /, you'll also wipe the RPM database and hence, the files of your package in /usr/local won't be in the RPM database (which is the same as having installed it with make install in the first place). Ie, SuSE does not use /usr/local because it is reserved for *you*. ;-) No, I stick with what I said: /usr/local is for what you install with make install, not for RPMs (including RPMs built with checkinstall). One more detail: you will see that users may have the /usr/local/bin first in their path, but often root does not even have it included - on purpose so as to execute official programs only.

The ctrl-alt-backspace let the X disappear (but the process was still running) but after that it didn't restart. Then the usual: changing runlevels, kill -9 and some other useless stuff. Eventually a reset did the trick.. g! How can kopete upset the kernel in such a way, that one can no more kill any X processes? The keyboard got freezed and I had to do a restart (which didn't work - reset on the mainboard) For now I will try to install a new kdenetwork3-InstantMessenger package (I already have kdenetwork3-InstantMessenger-3.5.5-41.2). Probably SuSE 10.3 will provide a new one - including kopete 0.12.4 Any suggestions? New Kernel (the one shipping with opensuse10.3)? It's got to be a kernel problem!?? What might encourage the system to no more react to kill signals? Tasklet/Softirq problem? After all I have a standard openSUSE 10.2 system here on my Athlon X2, it might be possible, that other folks get irritated by the same problem (I am just wondering whether I did something naughty here with my OS. Actually I am certain not to have done anything special)! Is there a big difference between stack kopete and kdenetwork3-instantmessenger? PS: Thank you for the message M Harris!

Thanks in advance for any help, I believe I am up to date with the latest 'official' release for openSuSE - 3.0.23d.19.2 So this suggests you are either using the compiled binaries from the samba site or you compiled from the site source. If former I would compile from source and see what happens. If the binary is compiled with different versions of gcc or the relevant libraries to your intalled base, you can introduce subtle bugs. I would only consider upgrading in this way if something was broken, or features were available that are required, especially if others use the system. (If it aint broke dont fix it). Thanks for the response G..T. Yes, this is the unofficial cutting edge release - my production systems are on the official release with no issues.

On the other hand, when doing a backup, you might find out that the backup is full of links which are not saved elsewhere... so one has got to be careful. It's important to distinguish hard links from symbolic links. Hard links are fundamentally restricted from ever crossing file system / device / volume boundaries. This is because all the hard links to a file are co-equal. It's not that one is the file and others are links. This kind of link is the reference from a directory entry to an inode and takes the form of a simple integer index in the inode table. Because it has this form, in which the device / file system volume is implicit and must be equal to the one on which the directory entry resides. Manually created hard links cannot refer to directories. The only hard links to directories are those created automatically when directories are created or moved (specifically, the link from the parent to the directory, the . entry in the directory and the .. entries in all immediate sub-directories). Symbolic links _are_ asymmetric. A symbolic link is quite distinct from the entity to which it refers (which may by any kind of file system entity, including directories). A symbolic link is just a plain file that contains a substitute file name (relative or absolute) to use when the symlink is accessed. Symbolic links may cross file system boundaries because there referents (the thing to which they point) have no implicit component or aspect other than the directory in which the symlink resides in the case that the symlink's value is a relative path name. -- Cheers, Carlos E.

[opensuse] Best way to copy mail (kmail)
Hi all, This is a basic question, but what is the best way to copy my email files from one install (9.3) to my new install (10.2). Same machine. Old install is mounted as same user name mounted at data1. I have not used kmail on the new install yet, but did open kmail once, have not set up users. I see may old mail in /data1/home/user/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail. I see the same folder in the new install, with only a few sub-folders. Should I just copy the whole /mail folder over the new one and be done with it? Or would cat be better? Again, there is no mail in the new folder so I can overwrite it if need be.

[opensuse] DV Capture on opensuse10.2
Hi, Can anyone give me pointers on how to capture DV from camcorder to linux? I tried Kino and MainActor. Kino advised that the raw1394 driver was not detected. MainActor advised that both raw1394 and DV1394 drivers could be used, but neither were not detected. Yast shows libraw1394 installed (by default). A search in Yast did not find 'raw1394' or DV1394.

[opensuse] External USB hotswap HDDs
Hi Thanks to those of you who made suggestions when I could not get 10.2 to recognise a CoolGear USB removable HDD. It turned out the problem was with the USB hub inside the external case drawing too much current and lowering the voltage to marginal levels. It was drawing its current from the server USB socket despite the fact that the external case had its own power supplied from the wall AC socket. My hardware man cured the problem by connecting the +5v regulated supply from the power circuitry to the hub (via the key switch). Turns out the box was an earlier model - the manufacturer now supplies boxes with the same mod. This prompts 2 questions though. Any advice would be gratefully accepted. 1. Is it OK to just unplug the device without using umount? My practice hitherto has been to: 1. plug the cable into both the server and the case. 2. put the disktray in the case. 3. Switch on the power to the case 4. switch on the tray keyswitch, and wait for the lights to settle 5. Access the device via /media/disk (or whatever shows up in mount for /dev/sdb1 This is not as complex as it sounds, and probably not too important. Now comes the part that bothers me: To remove the disc, I have been doing the following: 1. umount /dev/sdb1 (or whatever) 2. switch off the disktray 3. remove the disktray In fact there is a keylock. You cannot remove the disktray unless you unlock with the key. The question: Is step 1 necessary or unnecessarily cautious. Question 2 How can you reconfigure SuSE 9 to imitate the behaviour of 10.2 with regards to mount points (i.e. /media/disk instead of /media/verylonghardwarebasednamewith\spaces? regards John O'Gorman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
