Re: [opensuse] RE: Open Suse Alpha3 testing - upgradeability
Thank you to all who have replied. I lost so much faith in the upgrade installation from 10,1-10,2 because there were so many issues. I did start bug reporting some of those issues in the beginning, however due to the volume of issues with the whole process, the Evolution/KDE password issue I lost a lot of faith in the whole QA system. Many thanks for those who are testing the upgrade cycle. Ill let you know how I get along with the RC of 10,3 upgrading a 10,1 install I still have one PC running. Scott G.T.Smith wrote: Alexey Eremenko wrote: The problem with your ask is that we are, as a community, are volunteers, and as such we prefer to focus on features we use ourselves. That is if some tester prefers new install and KDE, he will mostly (or only) test KDE with fresh install, not matter how buggy other parts of the distro are. For one part I never do upgrade install, as I prefer fresh in all cases. For me it is OK to drop that feature. If feature X goes unmaintained and untested for long time (as 1 year or so) it gets dropped from the distro eventually. This basically means, that if feature X is important to you in a community distro, you should test it yourself. The recommended time to enter testing is BETA1 release. On some occasions one does not have much of choice but to upgrade, and it tends to be a bit quicker than building a new installation from either backup or scratch. At the moment there are no data or configuration migration tools for SuSE that I am aware of. Backup can be used as a basis for restoring, but on multi-user systems this can get messy (especially if the base UID is changed as it was a few versions ago). A new distribution will include newer versions of application packages that will have particular upgrade issues related to that package. Most will flag any problems, and detail known issues. To have SuSE testers duplicate the activity of the the package testers and developers seems to be a duplication of effort, and given we are talking several hundred applications that is a lot of duplication. What really is needed are migration/upgrade notes compiler so that people can be informed of what work will be needed on which packages, before they embark on the upgrade. What could probably be useful is a web page detailing the packages versions installed linking into the relevant packages information on update requirements on the developers sites, and any specifically SuSE related issues. What would be even more useful is If a package update link database was setup, it would be possible to generate update documentation tailored for a particular installation.

Re: [opensuse] Need help creating a syslog -ng config file to perform a Syslog Daemon's Work.
I agree the PC-DOS-Windows industry has bastardised the concept of a syslog daemon. Syslog-ng IS the Linux system log daemon, however it performs function in much the same way as a Mainframe Daemon works and depending on my audience I have to be very specific with the reference 'syslog daemon' due its multiple meanings. If I had a big enough business I would always go for a Main Frame and rock solid O/S in lieu of a blade server and clustering despite the O/S.

Re: [opensuse] install / hardware detect
Hi, Opensuse LIVE CD/DVD is excellent at auto-detecting most types of hardware and can be run on a variety of configurations. However, if I install opensuse (10.2) to hard disk - the startup seems to be specific to that configuration. For example, if I were to do a full install to hdd and made sure that all works fine, then if I were to replace the motherboard, the hdd would no longer boot - usually due to a difference in chipsets. Is there a way to install opensuse (10.2) to hdd so that it does a hardware detect at startup just like in the LIVE DVD version?? Thanks for any help / info in this area. Best rgds.

Maybe... but then, some times I grep on all my home dir, so they all would have the same date. Now, there is beagle, that I suppose does some of that as well. Then, I restored a full backup after a disaster last February, so all that time info years old would have been deleted anyway... I mean, none of those stamps show real access dates. Not when I accessed them, anyway. I enabled noatime (ie, disable that timestamp) around two years ago, I think, but I forgot nodiratime: I'm activating that now, too. I prefer disk speed over that small info I don't use. I might use it, but... haven't found a good use for it yet, so off it goes :-) BTW Tend to use touch for modifying timestamps (not grep). Depending on the backup tool you are using you can retain the original time stamp of the files. Since my tape unit started playing up after the upgraded (long story with some very peculiar file system behaviour involved) I have been working on revising my backup procedures. Originally considered using time stamps to identify changed files, but initial tests with tar and kdar gave somewhat undesirable (and inconsistent) results. A little further investigation show that creation time, access time and modification seem to be effectively set inconsistently by different applications, so as a guide for bulk processing time stamps have limited use. e.g. many of the editors seem to backup the original file and and create a working copy which means access time == modification time == creation time on the apparent original whether a change has been made or not. So making such a change on a data directory structure would apparently not cause too many issues, but it may break the functionality of any software relies on time stamping to backup files. However, I would not deactivate time stamping on the part of the file system holding /var/spool/cron as time stamping is used by the run-cron script to establish when to fire the certain cron scripts There may be other application using file time stamping to control activity. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Z61p: T7200 Dual2 Core 2GHz, 4GB RAM, 100GB S-ATA T42p: Centrino (Dothan?) 2GHz, 2GB RAM, 100GB IDE I found a possible issue: accessing S-ATA HD slows down the system. If i try find / -name bla the system is turned into a brick until find has been completed. top shows jumping 100% WA (wait IO?) from one CPU to the other. First i tried to find out if XFS or 64bit is the problem. 1.) XFS is not the problem, doing the same find on a LUKS-encrypted, XFS formatted USB HD is much more faster and top shows no WA. 2.) 64bit seems also not the problem, starting Ubuntu-7.04-64bit from CD, mounting HD with same mount options (noatime, nobarrier) shows a great performance! 3.) I've tried the kernel of the day, it was 2.6.21-rc7-git5 but no success, it has the same issue! So what can i do now?

True enough. ... it done with nail, but I would have to study the manual and test it... so you'd better study it yourself than me, don't you think? ;-) Maybe they have a mail list or a FAQ.

[opensuse] Dropping network cnx to to do backup
I have a 32-bit 10.2 install running as a caching mailserver/workstation. From time to time I would like to take backups of the mail in the mailserver and therefore need to stop the mailserver from fetching any email from my ISP. I thought that the easiest would be to stop/temporarily disable the Ethernet connection the box uses to retrieve email on. I agree that I could just stop fetchmail but I am choosing to learn about stopping and starting the Ethernet device. I thought of ipdown and then issuing ipup when the backup is complete. The syntax I have managed to decipher from the man page on ip is: # ip link set /dev/eth0 down Complete the backup # ip link set /dev/eth0 up where I assume that /dev/eth0 would be the network device used? The mailserver does have an on board NIC as well but I have never used it and do not know if it even is identified or works as I inserted a Realtek card into the box from day 1. What else could I use besides having to physically unplug the box from the network in downtime? TIA -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Do you actually have an FTP server available? If so, you may want to consider
a more secure method such as sftp or scp. If not, your firewall should be
configured to block all such attempts. If you need to have the server
available, you can configure the firewall to restrict the acceptable addresses
or block known hostile sites. Without knowing more about your situation, I
can't be more specific.
It is also possible, when using susefirewall, to restrict the number of
connections attempts to a port. Look at the FW_SERVICES_ACCEPT_EXT
entry:
## Type: string
## Default:
#
# Services to allow. This is a more generic form of FW_SERVICES_{IP,UDP,TCP}
# and more specific than FW_TRUSTED_NETS
#
# Format: space separated list of net,protocol[,dport[,sport[,flags]]]
# Example: 0/0,tcp,22
#
# Supported flags are
# hitcount=NUMBER : ipt_recent --hitcount parameter
# blockseconds=NUMBER : ipt_recent --seconds parameter
# recentname=NAME : ipt_recent --name parameter
# Example:
#Allow max three ssh connects per minute from the same IP address:
# 0/0,tcp,22,,hitcount=3,blockseconds=60,recentname=ssh
#
# The special value _rpc_ is recognized as protocol and means that dport is
# interpreted as rpc service name. See FW_SERVICES_EXT_RPC for
# details.

Here's a screenshot on my laptop: http://www.perfectreign.com/files/images/20070423_ubuntu_feisty.png It booted okay, and recognized my hardware on both my laptop and desktop. To its credit, it even picked up my volume control buttons and my wireless NIC. Not bad. It was a little disconcerting at first, when I couldn't auto-attach to my router. However, I realized I don't broadcast my SSID. All was well, once I typed it in. Here's my honest take - I like SUSE better. Why? Well, it is more polished. I spent two minutes trying to figure out how to change my resolution on my screens and how to mount my hard drive. Neither task was intuitive. On SUSE both are very easy. SUSE adds a lot to the default KDE desktop that makes my life easier. In fact, I was just showing one of my senior programmers the difference between Ubunutu and SUSE with YaST. He agreed with me that YaST makes the difference. (I sent him off with a 10.2 live DVD.)

[opensuse] Inconsistencies XGL ZEN /Packman/OSL10.2 is SLED this same
I have to say that I'm getting pretty upset and disapointed with some of the inconsistencies of OSL 10.2...especially with the XGL and ZEN update service. We have 4 systems with OSL 10.2. All four use the Intel 865 chipset and P4 processor. One of the systems has an Nvidia AGP card the rest use Intel's Exstream onboard graphics (which works quite well for onboard graphics). When setting the XGL Desktop Cube feature (KDE desktop with the Gnome's Control Center loaded to control the XGL) to 8 sides one...and only one of these computers (one with the onboard graphics) acually shows eight desktops, both in the panel and when it's spun...if you look from the top of the cube you can see all eight sides.but the rest of the systems interlace the virtural Desktops, so as their spun or rotated...you would see the edge of one Desktop putrude through the otherand if you look at the cube from the top...you only see 4 sides! Does anybody know what is up with this...I may expect a difference with the PC that has the AGP Nvidia cardbut not one of the onboard graphic PCs. Any ideas? Also the ZEN update shows that there are updates available (in the tray)...but when we click on it to update we end up with an error: (Transaction failed: Can't provide ./i586/k3b-1.0.1-6.1.i586.rpm from http://packman.unixheads.com/suse/10.2/;) from the packman software repository. Does anybody know if Packman repository is down or having a problem? Regarding this problem, when going into Yast to edit or view the Installation sources or to install new packages...it will hang on the Packman repository...I guess because it can't communicate with itbut it stop me from getting to the Yast Installation Sources and Software Management applets...becuase it get hung up on the Packman repository. 1. How do I test the Packman repository to confirm if its down? 2.How do I bypass this for the time being to get to the Yast applets that I need to get to?

Well this was often a problem for me too, occurring mostly on 'guru' and 'packman'. However since I've rsynced them both and made the repodata folder myself there is no problem anymore. Nevertheless similar problems occur still while updating from my local FTP. A clean update can be done here only when updating from a NFS export. It's kind of strange. Is there any way to log or monitor libzypp during the update routine? Cheers Jan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [opensuse] Help installing openSUSE 10.2
The install process goes smoothly. I have an old Socket A 900MHz AMD Athlon Processor with 512MB ram, 40GB hard drive containing Windows XP Pro and 10GB hard drive to which I'm installing openSUSE 10.2 The only problem I have during setup is that it doesn't connect to the internet (I have dsl) while knoppix live cd recognizes the connect automatically. No other errors are reported and I'm able to choose windows or suse from the grub list, with windows working fine, but suse never reaches a gui? It shows text - done type lines and then goes to a black screen which never goes away? Any help would be much appreciated. I have had a similar problem with my old Dell. I use 10.0. Startup computer, make room for installation of Suse. Shutdown computer, and unplug ethernet cable to dsl-modem. Install Suse from cd's or dvd. Reboot to check if dual boot works. Plug ethernet cable back in; internet connection works also in Suse hope this helps. regards, Roeland -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [opensuse] Which distro is best for me?
I was quite impressed! When I took the test, the program indicated that Gentoo would be the best distribution for me. That's pretty good since I use Gentoo at home and at work, almost exclusively. I am using Suse for the first time since it is specified by one of our vendors. In the past, I've used RedHat, Slackware, Mandrake, Knoppix, Yellow Dog, and Caldera. The other neat thing was that the program indicated that my second choice would be Slackware, which is the first distro that I ever used! I was intrigued by the fact that the program also indicated why it thought a given distro would be less than optimum for me. In the case of Gentoo, it indicated the lack of application library would make it less than optimum. However, I have to take issue with the lack of applications.

[opensuse] multimedia buttons in KDE
Hello All, I've been trying out KDE recently after having used Gnome exclusively since I switched to Linux, and I must say I like it a lot. There was an issue running Evolution (passwords not saved) but that was solved looking through the archives of this list, so thanks for that :) There are a couple of issues I still have to resolve, though. The most annoying one is the use of the multimedia buttons on my laptop. They are: mute, vol up, vol down, pause/play, skip fwd, skip back and stop. In Gnome you can go to System - Configuration - Shortcuts, and assign the relevant tasks to these buttons. They don't all work, in fact only mute and volume up/down work, but they work consistently for all sound--I can be listening to an mp3 or watching a video, or visiting a website with sound, it doesn't matter. I can change the volume from the hardware buttons no problem. In KDE, however, I can't find how to do this. I've done it for Amarok, and it's great that ALL the buttons work there--but only there. If I'm on a website with music and it's too loud I have to call up a mixer and turn the volume down that way. If I'm using another player instead of Amarok, same thing. Films, same thing. I'd really like to be able to control the mixer directly from the buttons in KDE as you do in Gnome, but I can't find how. Does anyone know?

Re: [opensuse] Which distro is best for me?
There are only 2 distros, that I really love, and consider for serious use: openSUSE and Mandriva Linux. I have tried ArchLinux, Debian, Ubuntu, RedHat, Fedora, Linspire and dozens of others... while each Linux has it's own strong points, only SUSE and Mandriva are the ones the very close to the best of my of ideals, because both are: 1) general-purpose, (more desktop oriented, but server use possible) 2) have KDE well supported 3) have large number of packages (due to rule 1) 4) have graphical control center (Yast and Mandriva Control Center) 5) well documented 6) have large community of users The most popular distro (Ubuntu) definetely lacks (#4) something like Yast or MCC, before I can consider it. For now, I stay in the SUSE land, because SUSE is less buggy and more polished than Mandriva, but I can switch if needed - that is: I stay open-minded. -- -Alexey Eremenko Technologov -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
