Sure, and I act as referee to smash down the solutions that did not win the

No.  In this case the implementation requires forking bash like in the example
above to handle the fifo queue thus there is actually no difference here.

just to let you know.
We fixed it and it will be made available at least with our upcoming
Firefox 1.5 package.
I'm not sure if we will get an official update for this problem for 
10.0.
But when Firefox 1.5 will be finally released you can get it from
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/mozilla/
(release candidates will be available in the experimental subtree in
addition but there is no package with the fix yet. If you'll see a
change in the packages in experimental/firefox the fix will be in there)


CU,

Have a look at /etc/init.d/skeleton to see how initscripts should be 
written. 

Your short script may work (at least as long as you don't use insserv - 
it will move your script to start first. This will make it fail because 
the network script won't be run yet.) - but it is a very bad style.

[opensuse] Asteriks configuration

[Damian Mihai Liviu]

Hi,

Is there any possibility to 'point' a FWD, Callware or IPKall number/virtual 
number to an Asteriks server bypassing the PSTN network to connect cu 
Asteriks? I need to do a setup like this:

1 local VoIP provider for calls within the country. Calls will be made 
directly from the endpoint. Another VoIP provider for international calls. 
The users will call the Asteriks server, get dial tone the dial the 
international number.

Can you point me to some documentation to make this task.

And the last question: Is possible to dial into Asteriks server via virtual 
numbers?

Cheers,

Can you get to them if you use the bug number? My guess is that you are 
searching for them and they are not showing up in the search results. Make 
sure that you search ALL of them. By default the unconfirmed, resolved, 
verified, and closed bugs are NOT searched. This can be configured using an 
advanced search.

Maybe your bugs are just getting fixed so they don't show up anymore. ;-)

How do you define _disappear_?  

Does this return a 404?  Or the Novell equivalent of "report not found".

Hi,

Just out of curiosity, what happens to reported bugs (BZ)? Some
of them seem to disappear without a trace with no hint what so

Ok. I'll think is a hardware problem of my machine; in fact is the first time 
I've these problems with ssh sessions. A conflict with hardware is really 
possibility...

First, verify that the software that is installed is not corrupt.
Do this in a shell, as root (use "su -" not "su" if you don't login as 
root):

( rpm -Va 2>&1 ) | tee rpmVa
or
rpm -Va > rpmVa 2>&1

and then examine the file rpmVa for files that have changed. There will 
always be some, devices, some files in /etc, and so on, but pay 
particular attention to *anything* in /sbin, /usr/sbin, /bin, /usr/bin, 
etc

However, I'm guessing that you have hardware issues, just based upon 
experience with this sort of thing.  One thing you could tell us is what 
the output from dmesg is after startup; knowing the hardware could help 
- it's entirely possible that it's a strange or weird network card and 
ssh just triggers a bug in the driver.

Yes Christoph you've all the reason... the post title isn't the best. 

The only way to reproduce (the only way I know at present moment) the crash is 
simply use a ssh connection. The ssh-client machine simply lose connection, 
but not appear anymore problem and the ssh-server (the machine which runs 
under SuSE 10) appears completly freeze. 

Only mechanical reset is able :(

I've watched in /var dir and I've not found anything interesting.

¿Where do I watch to get more info? 

TIA.

Or, to be more parsimonious:

If I knew anything at all about awk, I'd know whether it could handle 
the selection (grep) part, too, but I don't.

[opensuse] Amarok and HyperThreading CPUs -- Attn. Pascal Bleser

[Randall R Schulz]

Hi,

On the off chance that the pertinent parties (Pascal B., are you 
listening?) are unware, the following is what greeted me upon starting 
Amarok after upgrading to the latest release (1.3.3) from Guru's RPM 
repository:

"You are using a processor with the HyperThreading feature enabled. 
Please note that amaroK may be unstable with this configuration.

"If you are experiencing problems, use the Linux kernel option 'NOHT', 
or disable HyperThreading in your BIOS setup.

"More information can be found in the README file. For further 
assistance join us at #amarok on irc.freenode.net."


I think I can attest to the unstability of Amarok, having experienced 
more than one crash in 1.3.1.

According to the exchange (currently) at the bottom of 
, this has been 
fixed in 1.3.5.

You may try to press esc when GRUB comes, then press e to edit your boot

linux 1 init=/bin/sh

This should do the work.Or maybe boot with a live-cd and edit /etc/shadow...

Re: [opensuse] Wireless network - reconfigure every reboot

[Ilker]

Hi all,
If it'll help you, i also have an unsupported wireless lan card (not intel)
and here's what i've done to get it working:

Installed dhcpcd package.
chmod 777 /sbin/dhcpcd
/sbin/dhcpcd -G  wlan0

and put a shell script at /etc/init.3 (or something like that) includes:

#!/bin/sh
/sbin/dhcpcd -G 192.168.1.1  wlan0

and that completely worked, without any other software.It starts up
automatically on every boot.I'm sorry if this information is not releated
any ways (?).Just you can put a shell script to get it working on every
boot.

[opensuse] Difference between 'Evaluation Version' and what I purchased?

[Jon Nelson]

What, if any, differences are there between the 'Evaluation Version' and 
the copy of SUSE 10.0 that will (hopefully) arrive today or tomorrow?

I'm not talking about the OSS version.

[opensuse] Bug in OpenSSH

[Kunael]

Hi all,

I use SuSE 10.0. I installed it some days ago and works fine in general sense 
in my opinion (the increase of speed is great specially).

Today I was working with this SuSE 10 box from another machine using ssh 
connection. The problem is the system crash totally (in remote machine, of 
course); the system doesn't reboot or suspend ssh services, simply appears 
"freeze"... mouse doesn't works, keyboard doesn't works...

When the system crash I was using ssh+screen, so I've try without screen but 
I've got same crash again. 

¿Any idea?

How do I disable the cache?  is it a good idea?

This one talks about psyco which I disabled, but it only reduced the

the program ran slower.  I guess I will just have to accept it that 
smart needs a large brain.

Hi Rasmus,

yes, you are right. No ordinary user should be able to write 
to /usr/local.

Because so you always get the command, that came with the distributed os 
and not the 'replaced' one. If you place e.g. a more powerfull "grep" 
command in /usr/local/bin, thats fine for the commandline usage, but 
some os-distributed scripts may fail, because they relay on the "old 
style" command in /usr/bin. Thats a problem I ran in on an old 
SCO-Unix.

Here is /usr/local/bin a question. If you install a new "grep" 
in /usr/local/bin and your co-user installs some pice of software (as 
root (su)), the installer may fail, because of the wrong "grep" being 
used. Sure you can argue "the installer should provide it's own $PATH", 
but most of them just do a "which prog" or even nothing.

I _love_ ~/bin in front of my $PATH, to overwrite system commands for 
_my own_ user.

On my own user, I often put it in, especially while testing new 
(SuSE-)distros. It's an easy way for lazy people :-)

On SCO 3.2 there is /bin;/usr/bin;/usr/local/bin

BTW: The same arguments used here for bin apply also to lib IMHO.

from few latin chars in your mail it looks like that you tell them

openSUSE is the project.
SUSE Linux 10.0 is the distribution.
it comes as box and as SUSE Linux 10.0 OSS on the FTP.

I've no idea if the belkin usb wireless adaptor will work or not. 

does anything useful show up in /var/log/messages when you plug and unplug the 
adapter ?

does iwconfig show anything useful ?

I disagree. No user has to have write access to /usr/local. If users can
write into any directory in the default path: shoot the admin. 

Would you like to explain why you think it is more secure that /usr
takes precedence over /usr/local[0]? This would make it very hard for
the admin to 'replace' commands without altering the installed files. 

There is a lot of sense in having the order something like 
$HOME/bin;/urs/local/bin;/bin, and there is no other risk than that a
user might shoot himself (and not others) in the foot. You might however
argue about having $HOME/bin in there, I grant you that. And *sbin* does
not belong into a users PATH by default, IMHO.

Hi,

on an old *nix system the order was /usr/(s)bin /usr/local/(s)bin. So 
you always end up with the commands the admin configured. On newer 
(Linux) systems the order changed: ~/bin /usr/local/bin /usr/bin
to give programms that the user installed a chance.
The old fashion is more secure and suitable for a multiuser (server) 
system, the newer fashion is really usefull for a single user (home

[opensuse] kdm refuses to start after apt upgrade

Hi,

I just did an "apt upgrade" to my installed SuSE 10.0
and now kdm refuses to start.

apt upgraded lots of packages (including kde and xorg 
packages)

The xorg configuration seems to be OK, because a startx
provides a running fvwm2 session with the desired 
resolution. The xorg config File was not changed.

But kdm refuses to start. /var/log/kdm.log shows at its end:

[...]
KCrash: Application 'kdmgreet' crashing...
Unable to start Dr. Konqi
krootimage: Fatal IO error: client killed

and I see the prompt again.

What's going on here?

(I allready deleted everything concerning kde, dcop etc.
in /tmp; that did not help)

Any ideas?

You didn't look at it, did you. The qemu source package includes gcc 3.3.5, 
and it first builds it, then uses it to compile qemu

Like I said, there are patches floating around to make qemu work with gcc4,

Fair enough... that makes sense, but... then that makes me ask... why
was the broken fontconfig released to the apt repositories then?  Has it
been pulled?  If not it should be... and right away.

I can deal with removing a buggy/broken fontconfig, or if I know I need
to, manually running fc-cache, but... what about all the new users?  On
the SLE list a guy ran into this, and all of his X apps were crashing
(like mine were) and he was so frustrated he is at the point where he is
ready to throw in the proverbial towel and return to Windows.  I've
replied to his posting and pasted in Kaus' workaround solution... but...
this is a pretty significant bug considering that it crashes all X
applications.  I can only wonder how many new users tried out apt, did
an update, figured they trashed their install... and either have to
reinstall (because they don't know to run fc-cache) or they return to
Windows :-(

First off all: My notebook is equipped with an IPW2200BG WLAN port, I'm 
using WPA-PSK instead of WEP and I'm not using "netgo" at this time (I'm 
planning to do that in the future).


My config has some differences:

"USERCONTROL" is set to "no" (I'm not using netgo ?)
"WIRELESS" is not present (no idea ...)
"WIRELESS_AP" is not present (no idea ...)
"WIRELESS_AUTH_MODE" is set to "psk" (I'm using WPA-PSK)
"WIRELESS_KEY" is empty (related to WEP ?)
"WIRELESS_KEY0" is present (empty)
"WIRELESS_POWER" is set to "yes"
"_nm_name" is set to "eth1" (changed that with YaST)

Because of the differences in using WEP and WPA-PSK I don't know which 
of the settings might cause the problems you are experiencing. The 
easiest change in your config could be just to change "_nm_name" to 
"eth1". Give it a try ...


Never give up !

Best regards,
Reinhard.

I think the ideologically correct place for the symlink would be in
/usr/local/bin, since you created the symlink yourself and it was not
put there by the system(-vendor).

No. It is only under /projects/OpenOffice.org/10.0-i386/2.0.0-0.1/.


If Marcus says they will publish Open Office in Online Update then I think we
should take his word for it.

It's true that it's not there yet though. The word was that it would take

It will become available via YOU after passing our testing (and maybe adding 
further fixes).

Adding workarounds usually leads to the fact that the bug never gets fixed, so 
we avoid this usually and better keep the bug visible.

fc-cache -f would also increase the runtime of SuSEconfig.fonts heavily.

Re: [opensuse] thunderbird

You are correct sir.  I had an old thunderbird in ~/bin ( copied
over from a previous install from backup ).  Deleted it and all
fine.  Seems as if ~/bin was being looked at prior to the shared
bin.

Thanks for that

Ahhh... that would explain why everyone is having problems with the
latest fontconfig update from apt.  Not knowing that you should run
fc-cache is a HUGE handicap though.  There will be a lot of people with
broken GUIs in the next couple of days. :-(

Can't this fc-cache -f be included as part of the RPM the same way
config is done when you install a kernel RPM?  Wonder if the maintainer
of fontconfig could add that in?  (I don't know enough about how RPMs
work to know if this is possible... just asking)

Well, if you want to stay with fontconfig-2.3.91 you have to run fc-cache -f 
after installing fonts, as there is some bug in fontconfig. Its symptom is 
crashing every X application. As far as I know, OpenOffice 2.0 installs some 
fonts, therefore you should run fc-cache afterwords.

Is it detected on the USB 1 port (if you have any)?

What is the "cat /proc/bus/usb/devices" output with the camera attached?

Can you switch the camera mode between Normal and PTP (to PTP if possible).
