[opensuse] ssh can not use dns anymore
Hi, a very weird problem with ssh and dns... Suddenly since Sunday evening my (default) desktop system does not resolve system names (dns) when using ssh. E.g. # ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] results in (by heart): system name can not be resolved # ping domain.tld results in an ip address X # ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] this just works When I use: # ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] on another desktop system it just works. My default desktop system and this other desktop system use the same /home as the latter is a nfs exported file system. Both are suse-10.2 AFAICS nothing has changed on my default desktop system, no new rpms and the config files in /etc/did not change. Does anyone have an idea what is causing this particular behaviour? -- Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So it's better to have 2 different standards definitions for e.g. for speed km/h s miles/h - temperature celsius vs fahrenheit, lenght, like: 1 meter and 1 inch? Ask NASA about the latter.

I followed some howto's and the last helped me the most, which is this one: http://en.opensuse.org/NVIDIA The build starts, but the compile fails with: ERROR: Unable to build the NVIDIA kernel module. ERROR: Installation has failed. Please see the file '/var/log/nvidia-installer.log' for details. You may find suggestions on fixing installation problems in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com. The message above is taken from the /var/log/nvidia-installer.log file. The last compile line there is: /nv/os-interface.c:26: include2/asm/io.h: In function ‘check_signature’: include2/asm/io.h:245: warning: wrong type argument to increment /tmp/selfgz8535/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7174-pkg0/usr/src/nv/os-interface.c: In function ‘os_set_mlock_capability’: /tmp/selfgz8535/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7174-pkg0/usr/src/nv/os-interface.c:126 2: error: ‘struct task_struct’ has no member named ‘rlim’ make[4]: *** [/tmp/selfgz8535/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7174-pkg0/usr/src/nv/os-i nterface.o] Fout 1 make[3]: *** [_module_/tmp/selfgz8535/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7174-pkg0/usr/src /nv] Fout 2 make[2]: *** [modules] Fout 2 NVIDIA: left KBUILD. nvidia.ko failed to build! make[1]: *** [module] Fout 1 make: *** [module] Fout 2 -> Error.

[opensuse] wine and new libraries
Hi, I just installed wine-0.9.31 for a proprietary application that is being said runs using wine-0.9.29 and up. However, it needs some libraries that are not part of wine. An example is Host.dll. I downloaded Host.dll from the net and saved it into /usr/lib/wine. After executing the application with wine, wine still complains that it cannot find it. After moving the libs to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 the application can be launched. There still seems to be a problem with the application, might that because the dll's are not correctly recognized/initialized by wine? How can I have those dll's installed systemwide in /usr/lib/wine and recognized by wine? -- TIA, Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse] Apache running perl in userdir, how?
Hi, I try to get a perl based webapplication running on my opensuse-10.2-i586 installation. It's a bit challenging, so to say The webapplication is ftree (http://www.cs.bme.hu/~bodon/en/ftree2/). In the end I want that I can run this as a regular user in /home/*/public_html/ftree/ (with * being any regular user login). Using yast I have now been able (again) to make /home/*/public_html working again, as this seems only possible via a virtual host 9quite confusing, to say the least). But it does not allow perl scripts to be run (yet). Therefor I changed to /srv/www/cgi-bin, as I know that perl is allowed to be run from there. And indeed ftree can be run from there. Actually ftree is installed in /srv/www/cgi-bin/cgi/ftree.cgi The ftree.cgi script refers to pictures with ../graphics/, but these are not found. While the files are there (.e.g): /srv/www/cgi-bin/graphics/hblank.gif Why does ftree.cgi does not see those pictures? Is it because /etc/apache2/conf.d/mod_perl.conf specifies: ScriptAlias /cgi-perl/ "/srv/www/cgi-bin/" ? Anyway, is someone able to provide me hint how to get perl working in /home/*/public_html. Being with or without yast? Hmm, there are some funny things going on in this apache area. I can't read back the settings with yast for the vhost? Although there is a /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/yast2_vhosts.conf file. Is this a known problem? It does not seem possible configure log files for this vhost, using yast.

I mean if the packages are allowed to be build on the buildserver, they are allowed to be distributed by by opensuse. Or are these 2 different animals? If all sofrtware build on the buildserver is allowed to be distributed by novell/opensuse, than it is also possible to create smart channel files/rpms for each of the projects hosted on the buildserver. Once an rpm is created it can be stored/movedto a common directory on the buildserver. > It could be done for repositories that don't contain stuff like mad or > lame (which discards my repository and Packman, at the very least), like > latest mozilla.org packages, latest wine packages by Marcus, latest > OpenOffice.org packages, etc... > > But the other ones must be hosted elsewhere. See above. It's about the software provided via the buildserver. At the end it may result in 2 'smart-channel' repositories. One at the buildserver and another 1 hosted somewhere else, providing smart-channel rpms that are not possible to host on the buildserver. > Note that this structure would make it possible to host the/my smart > RPMs in the openSUSE Build Service. > I was very reluctant to the idea, and I'm still pretty sure it is going > to make things more difficult for end-users but well... dunno...

No, it will be different. Assume that there are 2 smart-channel directories (buildserver, and e.g. at packman). You should include those 2 channels by default in your smart rpm. The only thing the user now has to do to add packman is: smart install smart-channel-packman and packman is added :) In the same swing, one can execute: smart install smart-channel-bs-home:rbos (bs = buildserver) ps: is this discussion okay to be held here (opensuse = community) or should it be moved to somewhere else? -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In your case the user needs to remember the url pointing to the channel repository. In my proposal it is not needed to remember this. One could for example use smart's functionality to find the channel rpm. Once the correct rpm (providing the desired channel), just execute 'smart install channel-'. Or the more lazy type of user could execute 'smart install '**.' and have the channel installed that way. The only requirement is to have all channel rpms in a common place. Just like the rpmkey rpms that I maintain at the moment. Your proposal just a *.channel repository is easier from a packager perspective, as there is not rpm needed. The advantage of having the channel files in an rpm, is that those gets updated automatically when the corresponding channel file gets updated. This is the same for the rpmkey rpms. The best place to host those channel rpms are of course suse itself as they get than mirrored automatically. But as you already stated that might not be possible due to law implications. I think that the buildserver could build/create a channel rpm for each project and have those stored in a central place. This would be a good start. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Perhaps, a new a channel can be created that provides seperate rpms for each possible channel. For now let's call this channel 'channels'. So this channel provides e.g. the rpms: - channel-kde - channel-suser-guru - channel-packman etc The idea behind this is to be able to add a channel using the command: smart --install channel- Although, I'm not sure that this will actually add the channel, it would be nice if this was possible. By creating a new project 'channels' on the build server, it would be possible for build server users to maintain the channel rpm.

APT does this in /var/cache/apt/archives, yast and samrt will do this somewhere else. Those archives can be used for other machines as well. In my case /var/cache/apt/archives is nfs mounted to different machines and as such the cache is shared among different machine automatically.

[opensuse] dbus-1 vs dbus-1-* dependency bug
It's hard to install dbus-1-qt while satisfying its dependencies and dependencies for other packages at the same time. It looks like, that the packages dbus-1 has not been updated in sync with the package dbus-1-mono (providing among other packages dbus-1-qt). This is the problem in short: k3b needs dbus-1-qt >= 0.60 dbus-1-qt needs dbus-1 = 0.60-29 but only dbus-1 = 0.60-28 is available. Is it possible to have package dbus-1 = 0.60-29 synced out to the world? The problem depicted with tools: medion101:~ # apt install k3b The following packages have unmet dependencies: k3b: Depends: dbus-1-qt (>= 0.60) medion101:~ # apt install dbus-1-qt The following packages have unmet dependencies: dbus-1-qt: Depends: dbus-1 (= 0.60-29) medion101:~ # apt showpkg dbus-1 | head -4 0.60-28.i586 (/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp4.gwdg.de_pub_linux_suse_apt_SuSE_10.1-i386_b ase_pkglist.base) 0.60-25.i586(/var/lib/rpm/Packages) medion101:~ # apt showpkg dbus-1-qt | head -4 0.60-29.i586 (/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp4.gwdg.de_pub_linux_suse_apt_SuSE_10.1-i386_b SuSE/10.1-i386/RPMS.base > rpm -qp --requires dbus-1-qt-0.60-29.i586.rpm | head -1 dbus-1 = 0.60-29 SuSE/10.1-i386/RPMS.base > ls dbus-1-0.60-28.i586.rpm dbus-1-0.60-28.i586.rpm Should I open a bug report for this, or will it be taken care of via this emaillist? -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse] Smart (package installed) wish list for opensuse
About 2 weeks ago there was an email exchange about smart, that listed some missing features (which are present in apt) and some oppertunities for improvement. I have created bug reports in the smart tracker, they have been marked 'opensuse' in the title so they are easy to find. Here is the list: http://tracker.labix.org/issue?%40search_text=&project=&title=opensuse&%40columns=title&topic=&id=&%40columns=id&creation=&creator=&activity=&%40columns=activity&%40sort=activity&actor=&priority=&%40group=priority&status=&%40columns=status&assignedto=&%40columns=assignedto&%40pagesize=50&%40startwith=0&%40sortdir=on&%40queryname=&%40action=search Let's see, whether this will be fixed for suse-10.2 Should this be mentioned here, factory ML or both? -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I miss a very important topic, but perhaps it will be mentioned during the build env talk. How is suse going to organize 3rd party packages repositories, similar to the apt repository at gwdg.de? This repository will of course be repodata formatted and I miss information about this too. As those 2 are very much related to each other it would be nice to see this being dealt with in 1 of the presentions. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

'description' is better as it is more general. If you want to keep a name than use it as 3rd (info only field).

So, why is suse not providing this? Or anybody else that wants suse to switch to repodata.

Could the text be changed from 'Updating cache' to 'Updating local cache' or do not show the '#'.

I don't have the traceback, that's a pity. Why is there no check whether the directory is writable because if this done with many packages, it starts to download (it at least) tries and will than tell for each package that the directory is not writavle. Besides that is time consuming. Please check the download directory permission first. > Since I can't write to the cache, I can't install.

Smart is better than apt in the future and apt is left out of suse now? This clearly states that suse left apt out of distro to soon. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

People should be using because others are telling it is better than apt. What you otherwise would get is that people are using smart once and go back to: > Besides, there would always be > the 3rd party packagers, who could still make it available regardless of > the distro decision. Indeed to 3rd party providers... Now suse take on the challenge and provide apt, that would make smart better and it would be better faster! -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
