Re: [opensuse-factory] Check RPM packages required by a pattern.
Samuel Partida [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: That's not what I really need Patrick. I need to get the full dependency resolution from a pattern. Why do you really need that? I kept the patterns minimal so that you see what's required and we don't need to have to add some package and then forget to remove it later For example, let's take the Base System pattern (base-10.n-build.arch.pat), it depends on other patterns (yas2_basis and sw_management_pattern I think), and on lots of packages. Those two patterns in 10.3 are optional. I want to get an easy way, a tool or something else, that for a pattern, it shows all the packages it need, resolving even the dependencies of other packages or patterns it depends. I think it is what ZyPP does, but I haven't found a shell command or tool to use the ZyPP resolver as I need. KIWI does exactly this kind of resolving and uses zypper or smart for this. I suggest that you look at KIWI and see what it does. I'm not sure if there is some Python binding or something like, as I use Python a lot for system administration, but I'm not a software developer neither I know how is the ZyPP API. Now asking to Andreas, if there is no such tool, then a new one could be created. zypper and smart are Open Source and additions are surely welcome ;-) As noted above you should be able to get this done - I just don't have a receipt for you ;-) Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Director Platform / openSUSE, [EMAIL PROTECTED] SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126 - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So if you don't want to erase you install anytime, you have to install the bootloader _on the root partition_ for openSUSE there is an option to do so in the expert tab after that, you have only to add a chainloader line in each grub entry you wan to know of the other distros, like that one title Windows chainloader (hd0,0)+1 of course you need to have _one_ distro to have _also_ aMBR entry, usually the older one (but if you are as silly as I am it's the last one :-))) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://gourmandises.orangeblog.fr/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

In passive mode, the ftp client will connect to the ftp server on tcp 21, then for data transfer it will open random high ports. In order to do this your kernel must have ip_conntrack_ftp module loaded, so that it can 'track' the connection for ftp. I believe you can set it in your firewall to load the needed module.

I have no sata, but in the past I did the experiment on pata: I could hear
the motors spinning down, and after a few seconds they spinned up again,
with perhaps a complaint from the kernel. Let me see, my hdb is not in use

Crash!
I had a system crash just at that point, this is what I recovered of my
email that served as notebook. What did I do?
Well, I checked my /dev/hdb status via hdparm -C, which was active/idle,
then sent it to sleep (-y and or -Y), which it did, checked the status
again, and now I'm not sure if it answered fast or took some time. A
second time took a minute to answer. I think it said standby. I should
have written it down on paper.
However, the problem was that /dev/hda, where my home is (but not the
system) stopped responding:

YaST updates do not affect modules installed from CPAN and vice versa. Applications installed via YaST that use Perl modules can and should be configured in their packages such that they will not see Perl modules installed from CPAN if that would cause them a problem.

[opensuse] Migrating users to new machine
Hi, I'm planning to replace a samba-server acting as PDC now running Suse9.3. For this I need to migrate all users, retaining their UID and GID and of course the passwords. Is there a safe, fast way to do this ? The home directories will be made first (restore from backup). Then I was thinking of copying /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/group from the old machine to temporary files on the new machine and editing /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow end /etc/group of the new machine to copy new users from the old files. The rest is following Samba by example.

Now, I know there are ways to set up all the OS's in Grub, BUT when I had things that way and I needed to do something to the drive that had Grub on it I was pretty much screwed. I would loose Grub or had to futz around for hours trying to get things working again. Tain't worth the hastle. I simply pick which drive I want to boot from and I'm off and running. This method only works with one IDE and SATA drives and a boot loader other than Grub. A slave IDE won't work. Somehow the bios doesn't like to boot from a slave directly.

Then I used mount /media/floppy and it mounted ok as a user. I could umount it as well. But even mounted, the icon did not appear anywhere.

[opensuse] Authentication users against NT4 domain
Hi, I have a fresh install of 10.2 32 bit. I enabled the authentication against a NT4 PDC on the local network. So far I have only partial success - I had to disable SuSEfirewall completely in order to make this work. With firewall up, and enabling TCP 135, 139 and 445, and UDP 137 and 138, as I read online, did not allow me to browse the network. So, if I want to be able to browse the network (DOMAIN) but enable the firewall, which ports I need to enable? Second problem: after joining the machine to the domain, and enabling the user authentication against the domain, I could login as a domain user, and the home directory was properly created. The problem is, that if I enable Offline Authentication, I can no longer log in as this same user - kdm reports: A critical error occurred: Please look at KDM's logfile(s) for more information or contact your system administrator. In /var/log/kdm.log I see no authentication error - I see only 2 lines for the time I tried the login: Could not init font path element /usr/share/fonts/Speedo, removing from list! Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list! And I guess they are unrelated.

[opensuse] /etc/hushlogins
Hello, Just a quick question. What is /etc/hushlogins and what is it used for? Mine is a nearly empty file, it only contains a newline character. What is peculiar is that the file was created in 1994 (my openSUSE 10.2 was installed in may 2007). Could this be indicative of an intrusion?

[opensuse] epson rx620 on suse 10.2
I have an Epson RX620 all-in-one, which works fine on my Suse 9.3 x86-64 system thanks to Johannes' help last year. I recently installed Suse 10.2 x86-64 and now it doesn't work :( PRINTER It seems to have recognized the printer - YaST and CUPS have an entry for it and say Epson Stylus Photo RX620 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.0.0 Simplified. But I can't print anything to it. If I try - e.g. using the test facilty in YaST - nothing happens at the printer (no flashing light). CUPS says it is Printer State: processing, accepting jobs, published. but also says stylusphotorx620 (Default Printer) Printer not connected; will retry in 30 seconds I've tried stopping and restarting the printer with no effect. Where should I be looking? I didn't see any exceptions when Suse was installing. Do I still need to install some proprietary software? I've searched the archive of this list and the opensuse wiki but didn't manage to find instructions yet. The cups error log that I see when I try to print a test page in yast is at the bottom of this message. SCANNER sane says no devices available. Again, I haven't found the right documentation. I found the page http://en.opensuse.org/Epson but it doesn't seem to say much and is wrong if I believe the description of the iscan package in YaST. Suse 10.2 has installed iscan-firmware but not iscan or iscan-free. I don't understand what it should be installing.

In passive mode, the ftp client will connect to the ftp server on tcp 21, then for data transfer it will open random high ports. In order to do this your kernel must have ip_conntrack_ftp module loaded, so that it can 'track' the connection for ftp. I believe you can set it in your firewall to load the needed module. HTH, Congratulations on the only correct answer so far :-) As for loading ip_conntrack_ftp, that is done in the SuSEfirewall2 script, so the OP must be using some other firewall. -- Hypocrisy is the homage vice pays to virtue. -- François de La Rochefoucauld -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Anyway, those are inbound; If someone didn't mention the type of his firewall, it's IMO best choice to assume he's using SUSEFirewall, at least while he's posted to the opensuse mailing list. When the client sends PASV, the server responds by opening a random (or configured by PassivePorts) port. Referring to this port as $P. The server then sends PORT $P back to client, which then connects to the server on port $P. That is passive mode as far as I understand.

Re: [opensuse] Raid 5 installation
Richard, (I'm top posting intentionally). I'm confused, you said previously you were never going to run windows on the box, so why are you researching the windows / linux compatibility dm-raid driver? ie. md-raid - native linux software raid. Does not support fake-raid bios, but talks directly to the drives. Raid setup is maintained in a linux generic way. Lots of users so it is easy to get answers and Howto info. dm-raid - linux fake-raid driver. Reads raid config info from the controller bios. Because every fake-raid controller has a seperate api, it has specialized api modules for each controller type. Since it is in no way generic, it has lots more code and is much less well tested than md-raid. Also, you will find it harder to ask questions and get reliable answers. To the best of my knowledge, md-raid is highly preferred unless you need to be able to dual boot your machine. In the case of a dual boot, windows uses the controller bios to setup the raid, so you need dm-raid to ensure linux sees the same raid array the windows does. I believe md-raid is supported directly during opensuse 10.2 install, so if you go that way you don't have any research / work to do. Just use it.

I'd have about 2 GB for root and put the other 18 GB into LVM with /usr, /var, /opt in their own logical filesystems. If you're using ext3 or reiserfs (don't know about others), you can then grow them as needed. I'd make all changes while running some other system (e.g. a live disk like Bob Kline suggested).

Cheers, Dave Hi Dave, Fernando, I agree with keeping as many seperate file systems as possible If something boils over it can only fill one partition (being it /home, /tmp, /var/tmp, /var/spool, /var/log or what ever) Gives you also the freedom to tune it differently (many small files, a buch of large iso's) Using it and LVM (with reiser, ext2, ext3) for quite a while.

I can create the software array but I am warned that it will NOT be bootable nor can a MBR be created nor can a swap partition be created because until the boot is complete, the software array is not available/stable. That is the warning message I get (and heed). I can install to a 5th drive and create the array, but this is a 5 drive solution to a 4 drive problem. Richard, Why don't you repost a new thread about the above. Personally I do use real hardware raid (3ware cards) so I don't know how to do a bootable md-raid setup, but I know it has been discussed on this list before. If I recall correctly you manually mirror the mbr and possibly /boot. Then you have the raid 5 setup defined in your initrd.

Re: [opensuse] You can say NO to the Microsoft Office format as an ISO standard
While some of these points may have more or less merit to them, the first one is a no-starter: There is *already a standard ISO26300 named Open Document Format (ODF)*: a dual standard adds cost to industry, government and citizens; Now, I use OO and love it, but I am not so arrogant as to assume that it is or should be the ONLY standard out there.

[opensuse] Variables and Input Fields
Hi, I'm using OO 2.2.1 - from openSuSE 10.2 - and my first experience with these field is not going well. I've a Writer document, where I introduced a Variable Field, hidden, after, an Input Field, to update the Variable Field, and after I've a Show Variable Field, to the same Variable. Each time that I try to update the Input Field, OO crashes. What I'm doing wrong?

Yeah, and I'm sure presenting an internet petition to a standards body is going to have a whole lot of importance when ISO decides whether or not to accept Microsoft's standard. Why stop there? Why not present that petition to Microsoft. I'm sure that once Ballmer sees all those self-certifying signatures he's going to raise his hands in surrender and announce that Office will only be using Open Document Format. Technical specs aside, if Microsoft wants to push out its own standard, well and good. As long as consumers have the choice that's what it is about.

Normally hp-toolbox seems to get installed, check under system and utilities in the SuSE menu. Also have a truck over to the hplip site on sourceforge for more info.

Hello Hans, It depends on what you really want to achieve by synchronize. 1. If you just want to make an 'impression' that anything happens in folder1 will be 'synchronized' instantly to folder2, then you can mount --bind folder1 to folder2: mount --bind /home/hans/folder1 /home/hans/folder2 2. But if you want to provide a backup function too, so that if anything happens in folder1, there is a backup available in folder2, you can use rsync: rsync -a /home/hans/folder1 /home/hans/folder2 And put that command in crontab for to be running say.. 3 minutes.

I work on an opensource project, I don't want to work for free for Novell. Any word saying that the free work will be used by a comercial product may be misunderstood. Use by comercials of opensource projects is autorized, but not so popular against the opensource community. I remember problems with sites making copies of OpenOffice.org... secondly, the very significance of the sentence seems odd. it seems to say you already know that Novells suse linux... is the best product ever, so you can trust openSUSE. sorry, but this is stupid.

No. That sounds like come and work for Novell enterprise products for free. That's not attractive to people. If there should be any mention of SLE it should be in a way that's advantagous to openSUSE like: Novells award winning enterprise products use openSUSE as their codebase. However like jdd I have doubts about the whole deal. Like potential enterprise customers are going to be shopping around on opensuse.org? I'm not sure that too much mention of SLE really does any good - my associations with it are mostly ZMD/10.1-disaster, GNOME, patents and Microsoft.. needless to say those are not particularly pleasant associations. I doubt that promoting SLE on opensuse.org will help anybody - neither sell more SLE nor attract people to openSUSE. But if someone slick with words can phrase it in a way that makes it sound like a seal of quality for openSUSE I'm ok with it. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
