[opensuse-factory] [Alpha4 installation] SSH port is blocked - and I can't open it and other remarks
Hello all # # Problem # 1 # When I install openSUSE-10.3-Alpha4 I can't open the SSH port Problem details In the Network configuration window under the section Firewall, the default is * SSH port is blocked (open) Despite clicking on (open) multiple times I couldn't get it to open Also I opened up the Firewall Configuration: Start-Up window and selected Allowed Services and tried. No change. I tried removing SSH which was already present and re adding it. The SSH port is blocked (open) was still the active choice. # # Problem # 2 # Adding extra applications to the default application pattern is next to impossible (this is already been noted in the email Alpha4 dependencies validation. I managed to a smart but if I didn't have the patiences to add anything else because it takes too long - I did manage to add one other application and there was a second wait when the Evaluating package selection just kept turning away way too long for my patience.. I finally gave up and re started the installation process (where I just added smart) because I figured it was faster. ## # My wish list ## Add smart to the default application pattern.

Re: [opensuse] Microsoft claims software like Linux violates its patents - May 28, 2007
On 5/17/07, James D. Parra [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Even if hypothetically there are patent infringements in the Linux kernel, then the open source community would do the right thing and remove the offending code and, because open source development moves so rapidly, that means Linux would no longer be infringing before it even got to court. So even if Microsoft did have a case, by the time it got to court the case would be gone and whatever damages that they were able to ask for would be very minimal. Sorry!! It can't be done until MS says what specific parts of the kernel is violating it. And given the stupid nature of patenting system (I had some real taste of it) if MS is been clever to patent something like Interrupt Service Routine concept with a clever writeup such as Reverse Feedback Hardware Interaction Method, then yes we do need to pay money to MS for all the interrupt service routines we wrote. One of my early carrier experience, when startups would try to build IP portfolio to so that the company could be sold for good money, I remember writing patent application for codes that was simply client/server under the text Intelligent Server Agent. ( I have changed. I do no more evil :P ) So its clever MS playing tricks by the books where the equal amount of criticism should go towards the Patent System.

Re: [opensuse] About Backing Up
And for the last few years, just to make sure my backups are going to be recoverable, I have a quite decent[2] backup system: 1, use tar to create an archive; 2, split the archive into 100MB pieces; 3, use par2 to create parity files for recovery in case of a media failure, using a 1MB block-size and 535 recover blocks; 4, burn about 3.5GB of data, plus the 530MB of par2 files to DVD; 5, make a duplicate of the DVD. Results are that if there is a failure of the disc, I can use dd to salvage the readable files, recreate the broken ones and burn a fresh couple of copies. The only time this would fail is if both copies of the DVD, or more than 530MB of data on both discs, were unreadable.

[opensuse] Re: Bonding two network cards
Jan Kalcic wrote: Hi People, I configured bonding (mode=1 - active-backup) and it seems to work properly but there's on thing which maybe I'm missing. Two network cards are used, as far as I understood one is the master (eth0) and the other one (eth1) is the slave. Testing the job I found that when eth0 goes down the bond0 interface still replies to the IP requests whereas if the eth1 goes down the bond0 doesn't work anymore though the it's up and running. I also tried using the mode=3 (broadcast) which seems to be the other choice for multiple switch topology network but I have the same problem. What I simply need is a fault tolerance only configuration where one network card is connected to one switch and the other one to another switch. Any advice? Cheers, Jan No advice about it? I tried several configuration but nothing has changed so far. Actually I did some simple changes but eventually it doesn't work correctly yet.

Is it just your personal server and you have it because you like to fiddle with server installations or is it a server for mor than one person? If it is just your server: Then you should be able to use the submission port (587) to relay mails through Google. For that you have to enable smtp auth for the client part of postfix. If it is a general server for mor than one person: In that case you can't use a gmail account. Options are: - use a relayserver that is offering ports other than 25, for example the submission port - consider upgrading your account with a static ip and the option to send mails directly - change provider or use a separate isp for your server -- Sandy List replies only please!

It has multiple host =20 on it so changing the port is not an option. my Isp has blocked use of =20 googles submisson port to force everyone to either use webmail or pay =20 a fee to use their smtp server. Static IP is not an Option. I was =20 thinking about port forwarding through a ssh connection directly to my =20 server. Apparently we misunderstood each other magnificently. How many hosts (or better said domains) the server is hosting does not matter. So your problem is, that you have a server which you want to use to send mails. The server is already running and has a static ip. The only trouble is that you can't connect to that server on port 25, because Sprint is firewalling outgoing port 25. In that case the solution is definitely to use Port 587 (submission) to connect to your server. You only need to tell your server to open port 587 and only allow mail submission through that port, if the user authenticates. With Postfix the following lines in master.cf would take care of that: submission inetn - n - - smtpd -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject This would force users to authenticate. Then you only have to change the setting in your mailclient to connect to port 587. If you want to be thorough, you could add TLS to the mandantory options. I assume that you already have sasl set up to authenticate when you submit mails to your server. -- Sandy List replies only please!

Btw, I'm looking for a replacement card. Unfortunately, I spent so much time to figure out which card is OK for me, but I'm totally loosing my time in the store's offerings. Most of the time you have to read the descriptions of about 10 cards per store in order to find out if something works for you. Different manufacturers, even using the same chipset, have different outputs and capabilities of the cards. So, can someone recommend a card which satisfies the following requirements: nVidia chipset (GeForce) 2 DVI outputs (DVI + VGA will work, but better 2 DVIs) HD TvOut (not important, may be missing) PCI-E =100$ The card do not need to be top-notch, this is working machine, not game station :).

Can it be good if it makes mistakes like this: Even if hypothetically there are patent infringements in the Linux kernel, then the open source community would do the right thing and remove the offending code You can write or believe this only if you confuse (or want to confuse) patents with copyright, which is a pretty dangerous thing to do with FOSS. Software patents (regardless of whether they have a reason to exist) protect specific algorithm and functionalities. Copyright only protects actual text, that is the specific _incarnation_ in C, C++ or whatever, of a certain algorithm. If you copy and paste proprietary source code in your program, it is a copyright violation: to fix it, you just cancel those lines of code, and rewrite new code which has different variable names, a different order of the flow diagram, etc... but implement the same algorithm. That's it. But if there is a patent on, say, the _mathematical_ _formulas_ or the abstract flow diagram which make the Linux kernel multitasking, you cannot remove the offending code, because what the patent forbids is any use of those algorithm and diagrams in any forms, no matter how you write the related code. The only way to remove the offending code of a patent is to STOP using that functionality. This has nothing to do with whether there are or not patent violations in Linux or any other GPL software. It's just a basic distinction which should not be forgotten, if nothing else to stop repeating absurdities like the one in that article, that is the illusion that you can cure a patent violation as painlessly as you cure a copyright one. Not to mention that: and, because open source development moves so rapidly, that means Linux would no longer be infringing before it even got to court. this would not change much for any individual or company found guilty of patent violations in the code they distributed until yesterday Marco -- Help *everybody* to love Free Standards and Free Software: http://digifreedom.net/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How could I add or configure this the easiest way? I confirmed that on Dell's web site. Most likely what was meant when that spec was written was 1920x1440, which also is a standard 4:3 mode. 1800x1440 if it actually exists is a screwball aspect ratio nobody should want to use. Try 1800x1350, which is a standard 4:3 mode. If that doesn't work, try 1792x1344, or even 1920x1440. Most likely that model is a Sony Trinitron under private label to Dell.

I think it's been obvious for some time that being granted a patent and having something enforcable aren't the same thing at all.

That they just stamp things as patented and let the courts sort it out. It will be interesting to see if the Supremes do something useful and sort the mess, as they have hinted they might. Perhaps having a young-(ish) Chief Justice who is self IDed as a geek could work in favour of at least tightening what can and can not be patented. Seems it could be smart to copyright stuff tho. Maybe? or work toward the idea which works thusly in photography. The copyright is assumed as I click the shutter.
