[opensuse] smb crucial to desktop acceptance
One issue for me that comes up every-time I help someone with their Linux box is Samba integration into the Desktop. Adding smbfs shares to fstab, or mount -t smbfs works great and is crucial to a sysadmin, but I believe that typing smb:// into ANY app must be supported somehow. KIO works great (not sure what Gnome has got?) but I still feel that the whole samba platform must be a system level affair and not stuck into the windows manager; some apps (most non KDE ones) dont understand smb://, so its useless to them. My statement: Shouldn't Samba be treated like USB devices are treated at present? ie. KDE, Gnome knows almost nothing about a particular USB device, it inits the mounting process to some extent, but when mounted ALL apps can access it. ps. I think FUSE is working towards something like this - whats the current status for integration into SUSE?

It's easy enough to write a script that does not return until no
instances of a given executable are running, especially if the
executable is a unique one, which VMware's executive is (vmware-vmx,
at least as of version 5.5 under a Linux host OS). A simple while loop
using pidof is enough:
while pidof vmware-vmx /dev/null 21; do
echo vmware-vmx still running
sleep 2
done
The next part, getting the shutdown process to wait might be a little
trickier. I recommend studying the manual pages for init and inittab. I
think in essence adding a wait-style action (i.e., one with wait in
its third field) for run level 0 that invokes the
wait-for-VMware-to-exit script should suffice.
Good luck. Let us know what you come up with. I occasionally shut down
without remembering to stop my VMware process ('cause I tend to keep
the window minimized and often forget that's running).
Randall Schulz
I don't see how that would make any real difference.. The
/etc/init.d/vmware script does NOT exit until all vmware-vmx processes
are stopped. The problem as I see it is that the master process (init)
gets sick of waiting for the script to exit, it thinks its stuck
somewhere and simply kill it and continues to shut down.. Or it may not
even kill it, it just goes on to kill the server.

RE: [opensuse] Sony Vaio speed issue - battery normal, AC slow !!! [SOLVED]
This problem is not apparent when running on just the battery, the system boots up in less than a minute and kpowersave reports the cpu speed at 800 MHz. Yes I recall you started the thread with that problems statement. My prior reply was to someone who hijacked your thread to report the exact opposite problem from the one you posted. Yours is more than a little weird. Have you looked at top to see what is taking the resources? Is all your ram being seen when on battery as well as on mains? (Worrying about the dread Sony Disease here - bad ram sockets). I would cd to /proc/acpi/processor/CPU and start catting some of the files in there, such as throttling, power, and see if anything is amiss. It sounds like kpowersave may be not be reporting things accurately if it is obviously slower. Problem has disappeared since kernel update to latest version.

Re: [opensuse] [Repost]: Using an extra driver at install-time
Hello Thomas, Thanks a lot for your reply, first of all. Thomas Hertweck wrote: Philippe Andersson wrote: Can anyone out there please help ? Any pointer to documentation explaining how to hack / customize the OpenSuSE installer would be welcome. I am not sure whether this is of any help in your current situation, but it might be worth a look: http://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/hvogel/Update-Media-HOWTO/ In old days, one could use a floppy disk to provide additional modules at boot or installation time, respectively. You pointed out that your system has no floppy drive - maybe SuSE has meanwhile implemented other ways of providing additional modules. Unfortunately, I cannot answer this question since I am still using an old version ;-) Maybe just boot the installation medium and check what methods are available... Yes, browsing through old SuSE Administration Guides and googling around, I eventually stumbled upon the instructions for building a Driver Update Disk: http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Creating_a_Driver_Update_Disk_(DUD) and from there on the link you mentionned. In the mean time, I also did a bit more research on the megaraid driver issue (legacy or not), and found out that the driver I was using (megaraid) is actually the legacy one (there was a confusion introduced by the difference between the option name in the kernel .config file and the actual module name). Anyway, since I was clearly using the right driver, attempting to create a DUD turned out to be pointless. Eventually, I decided to give that unruly old PERC 2/SC the boot, and to use software RAID through the on-board Adaptec controller. That has worked on the first try. The server is now installed with 10.2, and will soon go into production on my home network :-) Thanks again for your support. Cheers. Bye. Ph.

Re: [opensuse] Kernel Building Resources Recommendations
There are two ways to be able to run for example the treo in VMware. As you well known the usbfs is disable in SuSE 10.2 and therefore you can not sync. Other usb devices are not affected like keyboard etc. 1. You can download the beta 6.0 of VMware workstation. The problem is solved there (I have not done it yet) 2. Enable usbfs in the kernel. You can install a new vanilla kernel load the old config, enable the module and recompile. Another approach is just to use the same source and recompile. This is the fastest way. I have done it 4 time and my treo works great. 2.1 Require installation: #yast -i ncurses-devel This is required for make menuconfig command And also be sure you have the kernel-source installed. 2.2 The kernel and kernel-source must be the same version. $ rpm -qa | grep kernel 2. 3 Now change configuration. # cd /usr/src/linux # make mrproper # make menuconfig Change configuration - Device Drivers//USB support/USB device filesystem and selected it! When you exit and ask for save say yes 2.4 Install # make modules make modules_install 2.5 Reboot If you have problems to sync after start another thread or e-mail me.

Yes, it is there. Look:
if test $RUN_PARALLEL = yes ; then
#
# Stop/Start services in parallel with make behaviour of startpar
#
startopt=-p4 -t 30 -T 3 $(splashmake)
eval $(startpar $startopt -M stop -P $PREVLEVEL -R $RUNLEVEL)
failed=${failed:+$failed }$failed_service
skipped=${skipped:+$skipped }$skipped_service
And startpar is a command. Man says:
NAME
startpar - start runlevel scripts in parallel
SYNOPSIS
startpar [-p par] [-t timeout] [-T global_timeout] [-a arg] prg1 prg2 ...
startpar [-p par] [-t timeout] [-T global_timeout] -M [ boot|start|stop]
As the options are in «startopt=-p4 -t 30 -T 3 $(splashmake)», it has a
timeout of 30 seconds, and global timeout of 3... what? Minutes, seconds?
You'd better look at the man page, it is not so simple.

To recover from this goof, you need to have kernel sources installed. Then (as root) go to /usr/src/linux and type make xconfig. Hunt around and you'll find a checkbox where you can restore smbfs support. Then recompile the kernel according to the instructions in the README (it will take quite a while), install the new kernel, use Yast to renew the bootloader, and reboot. You'll then have your smbfs support. If you don't, try (as root) depmod. Supposedly smbfs was removed to make way for cifs, but cifs is definitely not ready for prime time, and there are things that work with smbfs that don't work with cifs (I've experienced them). The upshot: smbfs may not work better than it did in the past, but it works just as well. If it used to work for you it will work for you now as long as you install it.

There's nothing to stop you from installing both cifs and the older smbfs. You can mount cifs with the mount.cifs command. I suppose that if it works for you, use it. If it doesn't, use smbmount.

[opensuse] SSH(d) as SOCKS proxy (ssh -D) - Dynamically forwarding ports
Hi, I've read up on some articles explaining some more delicate features of SSH. There is a switch (namely -D), which apparently would cause SSH to work as a SOCKS protocol proxy, by dynamically forwarding ports when requested. However, I am unable to get this to work, between 2 SUSE 10.0 boxes. Ssh always reports bind: address already in use, no matter which port I decide to try (yes they are really unused). e.g.: ssh 10.0.0.2 -D 15081 bind: Address already in use This happens both as user, and root.

[opensuse] User Permissions
I've recently encountered problems with my home set-up that I suspect may stem from having secure rather than easy permissions set for my user account. 1. I can't get scripts to run within Amarok although this works fine using the root account. 2. The su aspect of Konqueror (within the KDE Menu) while accepting my password fails to proceed. 3. The tray item of Suse Update shows only the yellow triangle. I have set sudo to be most promiscuous to no effect. While doing system management by blundering about in the file system I spotted the secure and easy permissions files and it occurred to me that my user account was probably set to secure when I was using SLED 10 (now using OpenSuse 10.2). What I can't find is a file linking users to the easy or secure permissions or even a means of determining what is currently set. I have found a setting in Yast/Users which probably only applies to new users.

Nevertheless, I do have the kernel headers installed and Yast will not uninstall them if nessesary. I do have the kernel source package, the headers might be redundant but yast will not uninstall them. I want to stick to rpm's as much as possible and I would not try to remove things manually if the rpm database thinks it is still there. I also dont want kernel headers lurking around my system for a kernel that does not match the running kernel - so what else is left to me than to rollback the kernel? Maybe the whole problem is that if the headers were installed first and the kernel source after you get this problem. But that would be a fault of yast or the rpm database. Redundant or not - I cannot remove the header rpm - or are you suggesting I should click ignore on all the dependencies (and the resulting ones) and hope for the best? Yes, same thing. Nevertheless, I don't have linux-kernel-headers, and Yast would install it if necesary. As I have the kernel.source package, the headers are redundant and yast doesn't install them. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The target file system (xfs) supports large files. I was running an xfsdump |bzip2remotefile I'm surprised to be hit by the small file limit on NFS. Is there some specific parameter I need to support large files? The same command, run locally on the server, runs fine (4GB ok), so it definitely seems to be a NFS related problem. Ideas? Help? Thanks, Linda 4 GB is the limit of a 32bit processor. Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
