[opensuse] simple LAN

[Robert Best]

I have two computers running SuSE 10.2 and connected by Ethernet cables 
to the same ADSL router. Internet works fine on both computers.

Please help to configure a LAN to transfer files (FTP) from one computer 
to the other. I cannot figure out from Ch 21, Basic Networking in the 
Reference documentation, how to do it.

[opensuse] What happend to the System Monitor?

[Clark P. Case]

I got the update a week or two ago to the Gnome menu with the latest
patches and updates to the system and just noticed that when I click on
the hard drive entry in the "Computer" menu on the panel I now get a
window opening my home folder rather than the system monitor with the
running processes, system cpu/memory load and partition graphs. What
happened and how do I get that functionality back without backing out
the update?

Thanks in advance...

Anyway, lest all my tongue-in-check ramblings be misinterpreted, you
should feel perfectly free to use and configure the software you have
in the way you see fit. That includes rebuilding the FreeType renderer
to enable the hint interpreter.



I agree completely on the freedom over patents (or to say no to
patents) but unfortunately the existing law framework is not yet in
agreement with me. Though I am sure it is going to be very hard (or
virtually impossible?) for a company to find out if I am violating any
patents in my personal desktop / laptop but I was thinking in terms of
"living green". Completely avoiding the use of the product/service
offering that does not fit the "right way of doing it".

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking for here... (several 
permutations) 
but if you're running KDE, and you open an terminal (IKonsole) set it to size 
vt100 and save the defaults and leave it "open" when you log out of KDE, 
then the next time (and every time after that) you login the terminal will be 
open and waiting for you input...   just don't close it when you log out.

great. We now typically have 3-5 button mice with balls and scroll wheels...

What do you think might happen if you do enable it? If you 
guessed "nothing other than better font rendering," you're right!

I've rebuilt the FreeType package for my 10.0 system to allow this. I'm 
very picky about fonts, and for my tastes and preferences, it's by far 
the best to have the hint interpreter on.


> Is there any open equivalent to the technology?

Patents cover concepts, so if the patent were valid, there'd be no "open 
equivalent." On the other hand, if "software patent" is an oxymoron to 
you, then yes. And one name it goes by is "FreeType."

Opinions vary on the moral validity of software patents. Thank god, 
everyone agrees completely on gene patents...

hmm, not sure what directory you mean, I just copied and pasted my zypper

I fired up yast and typed "heartbeat" and I come up with the same list of

You apparently missed something.  "pin" is not what the OP was looking

YaST does single click selection. So if you bring up YaST and then double click
on the Software->Software Management icon, that's exactly what happens. You
get one instance, and then the second one complains. Happens to me all the time.

Scripts ? to "share" ?
Seems we've got quite a different definition of "sharing" here ;)
And I think you're really oversimplifying "clustering".

For sharing data between nodes, you definitely need shared storage
(FC-attached, possibly SCSI, or for testing purposes it even works with
Firewire) or a multipathed SAN. Needless to say, that's horrendously
expensive. And with directly shared storage options (i.e. not SAN), you
need a clustering-capable filesystem (GFS or OCFS2) that manages the
dlocks between the nodes.

A cheaper but less performant options is drbd. When possible, it's
advisable to avoiding shared storage completely, e.g. by storing data in
a replicated MySQL (when possible, depends on the application(s)).

Load balancing is the most trivial issue to solve.
High availability ("hot standby", aka "active-passive") isn't that easy
and, depending on the application and its needs, it can be very expensive.
Load balancing _and_ high availability ("active-active") is typically
even a lot more complex than "just" high availability.

If it's about "clustering" as in "HA clustering" (HA=High Availability)
(which has almost nothing to do with "HPC clustering" (HPC=High
Performance Computing), then heartbeat is also a very, very interesting
option.
It's limited to two nodes, but it's pretty easy to configure.
Pity, what it doesn't do is monitoring services (just the nodes). You'll
need another tool for that (e.g. monit or mon) and combine the two
(which, surprisingly, isn't that easy to do nor is there that much
documentation about it).

When it's more about load-balancing, LVS (Linux Virtual Server) is a
good candidate. As it operates the packet rewriting at kernel-level,
it's pretty fast. It doesn't combine all that easily with HA though.

> This should work for basic workloads... such as HTTP server.

That's just load-balancing, which is really trivial to do (with lots and
lots of options on how to implement it) for stateless protocols such as
HTTP.
It becomes more complex already when you have stateful (or
"conversational") protocols (EJB/JRMP/RMI, XMPP/Jabber, ...) or even
HTTP with sessions.
Unless you don't care about users having to start their shopping cart
all over again when a server dies, HTTP with sessions needs session
replication. Session replication can be achieved by persisting sessions
in a replicated database (slow), using e.g. Tomcat and its clustered
in-memory session replication mechanisms (fast), or doing "sticky
load-balancing" with a load-balancer upfront that is smart enough to
understand session URLs and cookies and to redirect traffic to the
cluster node that originated the session (fastest, but only
load-balances the first request and doesn't help all that much wrt HA).

[opensuse] US Patent, Subpixel Hinting and Liberation fonts

[Mohammad Bhuyan]

Hi,

Somewhere on the net a read that the MS patents (in that regards all
US patents) does not apply outside US. Is that true?!!?

My issue is to decide if I can enable sub pixel hinting or not?

Is there any open equivalent to the technology?


From what I have read, the Liberation fonts (RedHat) eventually will

not require subpixel hinting to look good. That doesn't make sence to
me. My misunderstanding or is it true? Any technical overview on that?

Mohammad

Re: [opensuse] RE:Back Door Prosiak client connection in Linux

[Registration Account]

Dear James,

Yes we both know that improvements have been made and
you have indicate a great knowledge of the groups of
protocols we know as TCP/IP. I agree we have made
inroads since the early inception of the protocols -
however you understand that - Particularly Windows
relies on the ability  we have within the protocol for
escalation of authority which we can never
fundamentally change as we are dependant on this at the
Client PC - The main issue in this article is the
ability to escalate authority - Yes I agree with you
HTTP/SSL where we can dump 'r' commands.

With your obvious knowledge I think you will agree that
our only escape from the innate issues about the
protocol are solved with TCP/IP V6. You know as well as
I do that the world root servers run TCP/IP V6.

The issues of escalation have been dealt with in V6 -
however would wide adoption of V6 at the client end
will take decades. WE with Suse Linux attribute our
security because it runs on V6. There is mass
translation in the product as you well know and if you
run your own DNS server, any enquiry made to a another
DNS server; if it can communicate by V6 IT WILL. This
is very easy to see when you look at a real time log of
the DNS server created in a Suse Linux platform. Its
not had to log all activity into the system log and
view it.

Thank you for bringing sensible and constructive
conversation about comms issues. It is nice to be able
to discuss comms with another who has an understanding
of its role.

Have a great Day James

Scott ;-)

Re: [opensuse] New Subject - building clusters with OpenSuse

Alternatively, you can write some custom scripts to share hard disk
data between nodes, use "webmin" to manage nodes together, and use
Cisco's NAT with Load Balancing to use both servers.

This should work for basic workloads... such as HTTP server.

I'm not sure how good or bad openSUSE is at "clustering" compared to
Debian and RedHat.

Normally the drive will be HP branded.  Now I'm not sure if they make 
their own or not, but you can purchase HP Lightscribe drives in the 
stores.  About the only thing that comes to mine right away is the BIOS 
setting is off.  It doesn't sound like it's set to see the DVD first.  
But I'll assume you have already checked that?

Is the DVD SATA as well as the hard drive?  If not, but an ATA, then be 
sure it's connected to the right plug on the cable, set to master on 
the second channel.  That's all I can suggest at the moment.  

What strange new things are they doing with drives at HP?  ;-)

I think we are asking about having it and possibly a few other things
included in the distro -

By-the-by, when I go to the directory you list it contains many rpms
but none of the heartbeat rpms listed above.

Unfortunately, pin doesn't work as reliably as it did. It only searches 
one database, normally, the archives.gz file from the dvd, and the dvd 
doesn't contains everything currently. It would have to search both the 
archives from the oss and non oss remote repos instead of the single one 
from the dvd.

Of course, if you have the bought version, things might be different.

I've always had splendid success installing suse from external USB drives...

If your hardware is new enough to handle booting from USB that seems
like a good  bet - especially since I have no idea why your internal DVD
is not liking linux...

You apparently get some layers of the protocol stack mixed up.  The
drivers are for the specific card, whether ethernet, token ring or
other.  Unix &  Linux systems always support IP, no matter what the
network type.  Take a look at the ISO network protocol stack some time. 
While not a perfect match for TCP/IP, it conveys the general idea.  The
bottom layer is physical, describing cable types etc.  Next up is the
datalink, i.e. Ethernet, Token Ring etc.  On top of that is the network
layer, where IP fits.

I didn't know they had IP drivers for token ring. We're using some
netBIOS sort of thing, AFAIK.

As it is, we're being forced by the state to replace it probably.

Further, I scoped around this mailbox a bit, and found something
which I thought might help: I swapped the connections of the 
cable to the DVD drive from the "master" to the other one. No
luck. Just in case that helps anyone help.

Hi Bob,

I am running smart and KDE. Here is two KDE selection options:

1-Run KDE 3.5.5 (base install) + Packman Repo + GURU Repo
So you can KDE 3.5.5 and full multimedia support. 

2-KDE Repos +GURU and Packman Repo

You may need to set channel priorities as KDE Repos have limited multimedia 
support due to legal issues. You have an up to date KDE. On the contrary KDE 
3.5.7 packages updated again and you may have to download all KDE packages 
and upgrade them. I've upgraded KDE 3.5.7 twice via smart. You may also

FWIW, the only branding I can see on the DVD/CD drive is "lightscribe".

Any wisdom on that?

I'd google, but this machine from which I am typing doesn't know
it has a mouse, and that's just murder to tab through vendor sites

Well, in the ongoing saga.

The new machine is a spanking HP pavilion, dual core athlon 64.

And 10.1 doesn't recognize the DVD/CD rom...

Install no go. 

Install ACPI=off at least gets me som old fashioned curses-style

[opensuse] k3b LANG issue

[Jonathan Arnold]

I'm getting the following warning from k3b:

===
System locale charset is ANSI_X3.4-1968

Your system's locale charset (i.e. the charset used to encode filenames) is
set to ANSI_X3.4-1968. It is highly unlikely that this has been done
intentionally. Most likely the locale is not set at all. An invalid setting
will result in problems when creating data projects.

Solution: To properly set the locale charset make sure the LC_* environment
variables are set. Normally the distribution setup tools take care of this.
=

How do I fix this in openSUSE and/or YaST? My RC_LANG variable is set to
en_US.UTF-8 according to the sysconfig. Should I set LC_ALL to be this as
well?

If you use YaST, often you need to check the Description check box in
order to find tools. If you're sure it should be around, try doing
that with kdict and it finds it.

Why not just rsync all the files of interest over to the new box? The
integrity of the filesystem is really not connected to the display issues...

What Kevin says plus watch when you are doing Channel Updates for messages 
about status changes and new channels being found. I've seen smart saying it 
needed to disable KDE and other channels from time to time, usually after a 
fresh install of smart.

It sounds like you just want to change the default runlevel to 3 (full
multiuser with network), instead of its current setting of 5 (full
multiuser with network and GUI).

If you go into Yast, select the "System" option, then "System Services",
and then select the "Expert" mode, you can change the default runlevel
to 3.

  If it does not actually require any input, you could write a script
for it, put it in the /etc/init.d directory, and place the appropriate
links in the run levels that you want it run in.

Since the services are started in parallel, it could be anything

Thus, I would first set RUN_PARALLEL to "no" in /etc/sysconfig/boot

Hi Petr,

LOL, I'm not that good to delete all those files manually. Sorry for
being confusing! However after using Yast2 to switch from LDAP to local
and deleting all LDAP stuff via its packet manager(in hope, it will fix
PAM's error output in the logs), I still had PAM pointing to LDAP:

/etc/pam.d # grep -i 'pam_ldap' *

common-account:account  requiredpam_ldap.so use_first_pass
common-account-pc:account   requiredpam_ldap.so
use_first_pass
common-auth:authrequiredpam_ldap.so use_first_pass
common-auth-pc:auth requiredpam_ldap.so use_first_pass
common-password:passwordrequiredpam_ldap.so
try_first_pass use_authtok
common-password-pc:password requiredpam_ldap.so

Well checkproc is called early in the /etc/init.d/xdm start section to
check whether kdm is running but this is not one of checkprocs error
codes according to the man page. The Build failure seems to suggest some
sort of corruption in KDE configuration, I would have a look at the X
and KDE logs for further info.

Re: [opensuse] How to unlink LDAP from PAM?

[Petr Klíma]

You have deleted them by yourself instead of uninstalling specific
package? Well, you should stop deleting system files, it's direct and
proven road to the burning hell.

Anyway, such thing would be easily accomplished using yast (Network
services -> LDAP client and then select "do not use LDAP"), without need
to manually touch anything. However, if you fiddled with those things
manually, this way might not work anymore. Therefore check files in
/etc/pam.d/ for pam_ldap and comment out (by placing # at the very
beginning) such lines rather than delete them. Also edit
/etc/nsswitch.conf and make sure that it reads (among others)

passwd: files
group: files
shadow: files

For LDAP, it's usually in this form:
passwd: compat
group: compat

This should do the trick.

[opensuse] last.fm stream does not play

[Chris Haynes]

Using AMAROK I attempt to start a last.fm stream playing.

What does work:
1) Buffering is reported as completed,
2) WireShark shows lots of packets arriving, but also quite a lot of errors 
3) last.fm announces each new track after about the right play time, which gets 
displayed by AMAROK

What does not work:
1) No sound emerges
2) The AMAROK spectrum visualisation along the bottom shows no activity
3)  The performance monitor, looking at the eth0 interface, shows no received 
packets / data
4) The small AMAROK display shows:  "? kbit --" where it might show a data rate

AMAROK can play a local CD with no problems.

- I have turned up full all the volume controls in the KDE sound system
- I have turned off the firewall

Am I missing some network receiver daemon, is there some iptables setting 
needed, or what?

The easiest way is probably to install the smart-gui (also on Pascal's site), 
and then in Edit -> Channels tick the disabled ones and press Close.  Then do

[opensuse] firefox add-ons don't install

[Daniel Bauer]

Hello,

I tried to install an add-on for firefox, but if I look under "add-ons" in the 
menu, it just tells me, hat it will be installed after a restart of firefox. 
I restarted firefox several times, even logged out and in again as user to 
restart x, but still firefox tells me, it would install the add-on after a 
restart

I just downloaded the latest firefox with Yast:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070529 
SUSE/2.0.0.4-8.2 Firefox/2.0.0.4

same result.

I use Suse 10.0, KDE 3.5.6 Release 85.1

Any hints what and where I can look?
thanks

Daniel

[opensuse] Converting reiserfs 3.5 to 3.6; listing fs version

[Charles Obler]

Another interesting problem!

When I laid out my partitions for my new 10.2, I mistakenly specified 3.5 
instead of 3.6 as the reiserfs version.  I was afraid that 3.6 might not be 
compatible with my 9.0 SuSE.  

After completing the install, I found out that 3.6 IS compatible with the 2.4 
nucleus.  Moreover, 3.5 does not support acl and attr mount options specified 
in fstab.  The latter problem apparently induced Linux to relocate my /home 
from hdb6 to hdb5, the root partition!

(I have 10.2 running on two logical partitions on a slave drive, way beyond the 
8k cylinder limit.  Incredibly, grub takes it all in stride!  Isn't progress 
nice?!)

Throwing caution to the wind, I used my 9.0 system to "fix" 10.2!  I:

* mounted hdb6 with -o conv, then 
* copied the /home subdirectories from hdb5 to hdb6
* changed /home on hdb5  to /home_hdb5
* created a new /home (to serve as mount point only)
* let 10.2 fstab mount hdb6 as /home

Well, 10.2 still works, oddly enough.  But I'm not sure why.  I don't know 
whether the reiserfs version has actually changed.  I can't find any file 
utilities that actually list the version -- as far as I can see, fsck doesn't 
do it, reiserfstune doesn't do it.  What SHOULD I have done, and how can I find 
out what version I have?
