[opensuse-factory] /usr/bin/kdeinit4

2007-07-18 Thread Donn Washburn

Hey Group;

I was doing some locate when I found kdeinit4 under /usr/bin.
However, there are no file to go with it so it dies.  I tried startx 
kdeinit4. and it bombs (no surprise).  This is SuSE 10.3Alpha 5 with the 
stock KDE 3.5.7 (as I remember)

How it dies? It will start a kdeinit4 daemon. Not sure what you would want 
to do with it, but it doesn't die.

 Sorry, i don't see it as part of another thread from GMail.

Then change your mail client. The gmail webmail is broken in this respect
(and others).


U.. I use GMail and I see all the threads.  They are called
Conversations in GMail speak, but they are the same thing.  The only
thing that GMail does poorly is it doesn't handle mailing lists
nicely... so you have to remember to fix the To: address whenever

No, Mozilla always uses the same email address and real name for

Of course you can change it - look under 'Account Settings'.

 Hi all,
  Yesterday and the day before i was trying to install getting them

 yeast loaded and the installation initiation screen showed up but
 after the first screen it crashed again. My guess is that the
 particular hardware combination of my system is the reason. Though i
 think there could be many systems that use this hardware.

 Update on WLAN,  I wanted to directly run the online installation
 through WLAN. But it does not load the WLAN card on my system so i had
 to bring the actual modem and hook it up using Ethernet cable. The
 card uses Prism RT61 chipset(DLink) but the RT61 driver loaded did not
 work. When i give the SSID it says cannot find the AP and complete
 DHCP procedure.

I have installed OpenSUSE 10.2 with KDE, and has the same problem with you.
I tried to install OpenSUSE 10.2 with GNOME, and the Compiz was run nicely. 
The windows can wobble like jelly.

It seems like the normal KDE users should wait for the next openSUSE

 Hi,

 I would like to reload the entire system from scratch but do not want to

 What I would like to know, is where openSUSE stores its updates and how
 those same updates can be used again. What would I need to do to have
 them stored in a different location?

 I ask this as I want to add a 2ndry HDD into my system and use it as an
 install source. I would think that all I would need to do is copy the
 DVD into a partition on the new HDD and cut and paste the updates that I
 have already downloaded and applied.

 Comments or should I raise an RFE?
 
 Why need to reinstall if you just want to move the installation?

I DO NOT want to move the installation, I want to re-install it from
scratch, to weed out other newbie user 'errors' that crept in during my
use of the OS, and of course to further cement it into my brain.

Yes, I know Linux isn't Windows that needs to be reinstaled every few
months, but this time round I am hoping to learn a whole lot more as I
move toward a working system, like I have now.

Well, it tries to break into your system, but is very likely not in any of
your machines if you only see external ips.

Since it / they have infected thousands of machines in the internet already
you will see their scans from there.

Good passwords, having SSH on a different port, or even disabling ssh
from the outside are good help.

Aah, someone actually read my post, almost as it was intended to sound :)

To further explain:

1. Backup /home, /etc and wherever the Yast updates are stored.

2. Take the existing SATA HDD and using openSUSE 10.2 DVD, fdisk it to
   delete all the partitions.

3. Insert new secondary  HDD on IDE into machine to act as software
   installation source.

4. Restart the machine and copy the DVD's to the secondary HDD.

5. Install 10.2 on the existing SATA HDD from my new HDD installation
   source.

6. Copy the backups of the updated packages to my HDD installation

7. Install all package updates from installation source.

8. Do YAST Online update and make it put any package updates

Peter, you got it! :)

 He figures that the downloaded updates are stored *somewhere* on the

So far, only external IP's, so that is good.

 Since it / they have infected thousands of machines in the internet already
 you will see their scans from there.

So the trick is to recognize the attacks and *temporarily* ban that IP
address from further access.   Then, after the attack, to reinstate the
IP.   This is what I *thought* that the entry in IPTABLES was going to
do, but obviously, it doesn't in my case.   However, others have
suggested it should  work, so I figure something is still left undone in
my configuration, which is what prompted my rather long original post,

I believe the reason I have not been compromised, only 'annoyed', so
far, is because I do have good account AND password schemes in effect,
but the best practice is to prevent the person with the axe from using
in against the door in the first place, no matter if the door is made of
iron or balsa wood, don't you think?   Now, previously, I have stated it
is impractical for me to change to a non-standard ssh port due to the
number of outside systems I support that are NOT part of my network.   I
am a consultant (not for Linux security, unfortunately) and while I am
trying desperately to educate the 'unwashed masses' to vacate Windoze,
many do still use that so-called OS and some even may be infected with
all kinds of evil virus and wormy critters that my systems so far have
resisted.   Previously, I tried 'fail2ban' and while it ran, it failed
to detect any attacks.   I thought I had correctly installed it, but
obviously I had not and disabled it when I discovered the 'recent'
feature of iptables, pointed out to me by several members of this forum.
  IPTABLES appears to support this feature, it shows up in the iptables
-L printout but Wireshark shows it is not being effective against
whatever is attacking.   Thus, I probably will need to re-try fail2ban
unless you or others have additional thoughts on the IPTABLES solution,
which would be my first choice, if it could be made to work.

  I think the OP is after something slightly different, a re-install +

 Aah, someone actually read my post, almost as it was intended to sound :)

 To further explain:

 1. Backup /home, /etc and wherever the Yast updates are stored.

 2. Take the existing SATA HDD and using openSUSE 10.2 DVD, fdisk it to
delete all the partitions.

 3. Insert new secondary  HDD on IDE into machine to act as software
installation source.

 4. Restart the machine and copy the DVD's to the secondary HDD.

 5. Install 10.2 on the existing SATA HDD from my new HDD installation
source.

 6. Copy the backups of the updated packages to my HDD installation
source.

 7. Install all package updates from installation source.

 8. Do YAST Online update and make it put any package updates
onto secondary installation source before installing them.


 Make sense now, and is it possible, or as I said time for RFE?

That's all possible. What I'd suggest though is an external USB/Firewire/SATA 
hard drive instead of going internal. That way its portable to friends, 
neighbors, relatives, can grab it when running from the burning building, 
etc.

Have you searched opensuse.org for building YaST patch/update repositories, 
installing from external USB disks, etc?

[opensuse] Loosing KDE settings (again)

2007-07-18 Thread Hans van der Merwe

Hi, Im goint try this again,

Im running KDE 3.4 on openSUSE 10.2.

Couple of reboots ago I started loosing my keyboard and mouse settings.
Single click, keyboard repeat, mouse acceleration is all messed-up.
When I go to the Configure Panel and click on the Default button the
correct settings are displayed, when I then Apply everything works
normally, until a restart looses it again.

Where are the settings kept? and what program loads them?

I went through this my self last week and had the same problem. Once you

I feel this is probably impractical simply because the IP of the
attacker never repeats so every attack would be from an IP that is not
in the list.  What I need is a DYNAMICly created list, which is what I
thought the 'recent' feature of iptables was supposed to do.   I still
haven't given up hope that this worm (if that is what it is) is
stoppable using this feature but it appears to come in from a different
IP *and* a different PORT each attack, making it hard to trap until the
attack actually starts.  In fact, the port changes *during* the attack.
  So far, I have not seen anything I can get my teeth into but the
router seems to be too low a level to detect/trap this beast.

[opensuse] ksmarttray not checking for updates as regular user

2007-07-18 Thread Sunny

Hi,
I found this thread in the lists:
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2006-07/msg00950.html

It's a little bit old, and for version 0.42 of smart.

I'm using 0.51 from guru repo on opensuse 10.2, and still have this
exact problem. I.e. following the advises from all the posts I could
find on the topic, I still can not make ksmarttray to go and
refresh(update) the channels. If I manually update the channels with
smart update as root, then ksmarttray will display that there are
pending updates. But it will not do it by itself, unless I run it as
root.

I found another post, which directs to execute SuSEconfig --module
permissions, so ksmarttray receives a suid setting or so, but it did
not help as well. Do I need to set ksmarttray suid manually? Is this a
problem with the package itself?

Or should I follow the workaround proposed by the author of the above
mentioned post - to run a cron job to do smart update, and then let
ksmarttray run as user, and only notify for updates?

Or, changing the the permissions of /var/lib/smart tree, and make this
belong to some (maybe wheel) group, so I can run ksmarttray as member
of that group?

Any suggestion what should be the safest approach?

Cheers

[opensuse] Whither the KDE3 Repository for 10.0?

2007-07-18 Thread Randall R Schulz
Hi,

Today I ran YaST Software Management for the first time in a few weeks. 
It failed to update one of my repositories:

http://software.opensuse.org/download/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/SUSE_Linux_10.0

It gave a 404 error, so I used a browser to try to see what was up. As I 
stepped down from the root, http://software.opensuse.org/, through 
the directories in that URL, I found that when I added repositories I 
ended up back in download. Then I noticed there's a KDE: directory 
there, so I figured one level was removed from the directory structure. 
And sure enough, if you just remove that segment of the URL I was using 
you get this:

http://software.opensuse.org/download/KDE:/KDE3/SUSE_Linux_10.0

Which does appear to be a repository.

However, when I configure this as an installation source, I get an alert 
saying:

There is no product information available at the given location ...


What should I use to access this repository?


Thanks.

 If not, some boards allow you to disable it. Usually with a jumper setting.

   
 

 I never really considered it was the ATI board because Yast always seems
 to pick the nVidia board when installing anything.  However, you
 provoked me into thinking that maybe something in that ATI card was
 causing problems.  ATI doesn't have a very easy website to find info on,
 but I finally ran into this:

 #begin quote

 737-167: System Hangs While Moving the Mouse Around on the Screen in Linux

 This information applies to the following system configurations:

 * ATI Proprietary Linux Driver 3.14.1 or earlier

 While moving the mouse around on the screen, the system will hang
 just when the mouse cursor image is about to change.

 This issue is most likely to occur when numerous windows are open
 and many things are happening on the screen simultaneously.

 To correct this issue, please download and install ATI Proprietary
 Linux Driver 3.14.6 or higher.


 #end quote


 That seems to be a good definition of the problem I'm seeing.  Looking
 back, it does seem related to mouse movement.

 I've installed the ATI driver and hopefully it will resolve this
 problem.  I'll let the list know about it if I can go for a reasonable
 period without repeats.

 Thanks to all who responded.

 Jim
   
After quite a bit of use, I have had no further lockups.  It looks like
updating the ATI driver did make a difference.  It seems a little
strange to me since I never see any settings for ATI related functions;
the nVidia card seemed to take over.

Thanks to all that answered.

You probably need to isolate where the problem is on your setup first 
rather than try new methods of shutting down.  My suggestion would be 
to try either a SuSE LiveCD or Zenwalk-Live, which uses a newer kernel.  
Boot from those, then drop down to a terminal or use a root shell to 
issue your shutdown -h now or poweroff command.  The root password 
for Zenwalk-Live is ZenLive.  Not sure what the SuSE live uses for a 
root password though.

If these work, then your hardware settings are probably ok.  If neither 
work, then I would check some BIOS settings first or turn acpi off at 
the boot loader screen.  If SuSE live doesn't work still, but Zenwalk 
does, you might have a kernel issue.

If you want to try cutting edge Compiz-Fusion see this:

http://dev.beryl-project.org/~cyberorg/suse/38/want-to-take-compiz-fusion-for-a-test-ride

If you are not adventurous, I'd advise you to stick with the official
packages that comes with openSUSE.

Have fun!

I have installed OpenSUSE 10.2 with KDE, and has the same problem with  
you.
I tried to install OpenSUSE 10.2 with GNOME, and the Compiz was run  
nicely.

The windows can wobble like jelly.

It seems like the normal KDE users should wait for the next openSUSE
version, or just switch to GNOME.

Note: Normal user means, installing everything just from yast and suse

 Dave,

 I look for g77 in opensuse lists and found somethings.

 I saw that gfortran is now working instead g77 but I saw that some
 people have trouble to migrate de source code for compiling well in
 gfortran. I have not much experience on compiling nor programming. I
 just administer a server that a user wanna compile a program called
 Corsika and its code is so old. And a lot big. He told me that could
 be very worse to migrate the code. I saw that I can use the compat-g77
 package, but I could not find the package. Do U know where can I
 download it?

Jos, very thanks at all.

But I'm still having some troubles.
I'll describe better.

I have a machine that haves the gcc 4.1 instaled, with these packages:

gcc-info-4.1.0-28.4
gcc-c++-4.1.0-28.4
libgcc-x86-4.1.0-28.4
gcc-fortran-4.1.0-28.4
gcc-4.1.0-28.4
libgcc-4.1.0-28.4


I wanna compile a source that isn't compatible with FORTRAN95
(gfortran) and request for FORTRAN77 (g77) that is provided only by
older versions of gcc.

So I need to isntall g77 but w/o damage or uninstall the new compilers
that is already installed. (may be isntall a cross compiler? I'm no
sure.)

I downloaded the compat-g77-3.3.5-42.1.x86_64.rpm

but when I try to install:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/compat-g77 rpm -ivh --test
compat-g77-3.3.5-42.1.x86_64.rpm

That's the wrong one, unless you have a 64 bit processor (that's what the _64

I have tried with a binary, but didn't have sucess. And sinceriously I

conflict or damage my other installed compilers.




 but when I try to install:

 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/compat-g77 rpm -ivh --test
 compat-g77-3.3.5-42.1.x86_64.rpm
 error: Failed dependencies:

Yes of course. That binary does not fit your machine.


 So, I tried the source rpm: compat-g77-3.3.5-42.1.src.rpm.

 with a rpm -ivh compat-g77-3.3.5-42.1.src.rpm

Why would you go compile from source, where you probably have the wrong gcc
compiler for that job anyway (4.1 instead of 3.5.5)?? Did you look for a an
existing binary? I gave you the link

http://www.novell.com/products/linuxpackages/opensuse/compat-g77.html

There it says that you need the file
compat-g77-3.3.5-38.i586.rpm

I googled for that (something you could have done too) and found as second or
third hit:

http://rpmseek.com/rpm/compat-g77-3.3.5-47.i586.html?hl=comcx=0:-:0:3621049:0:0:0

There you are. A 32 bit binary specially brewn for SuSE 10.2

Forget compiling from source, if you are not sure what you are doing.

Jos van Kanregistered Linux user #152704




These are the two main problems: I have a 64bits machine, and the 64
base package didn't installs.

I thought for use --force, but I'm afraid that it can destroy, or
damage the newest compilers.

Thanks again. Best regards.

 OK, I'll give you that one :-)  But I have to say that 99% of the
 time, I have no issues with threading in GMail.  It groups almost
 all threads properly... even if it is grouping on subject.

I always get problems with gmail webmail, because it sorts conversations 
incorrectly. For instance, someone changes the subject, and it breaks.

  But it does reduce spam respectably  :^)
 
 Definitely... which is one of the major reasons I use it on mailing
 lists.  I rarely see spam filtered incorrectly with GMail.  I wish I
 could get results this good on my main email account.  There I use
 SpamAssassin (also used Bogofilter for a while) in KMail which catches
 a good portion of the spam, but definitely not with the accuracy and
 reliability of the GMail filter.

Every time I look there I find list mail clasified as spam, needing to be 
manually unclasified.

My SpamAssassin never clasifies list mail incorrectly.

[opensuse] yast online update

2007-07-18 Thread Dave Howorth
I'm having trouble understanding YaST Online Update in Suse 10.2. There
are various aspects I don't understand and I'm having trouble finding
the appropriate docs (probably through stupidity). The Help button says
Refer to the manual for details. I've looked through the openSUSE
Documentation Reference - specifically II.3 Online Update - but it
doesn't give much detail. Is there some other documentation I've missed?

One aspect I don't understand is the meaning of the symbol consisting of
a white box followed by a grey tick. This doesn't appear in the list of
symbols on the help menu and the symbols aren't listed in the manual
I've looked at. For example, timezone or wxGTK - the available and
installed version are the same, so what are the patches?

Another aspect is why some patches are shown with a white triangle and
white box with a black tick when the packages themselves have a black
triangle with a green and white Z (e.g. krb5). Other patches for
packages marked in this way are themselves marked with a white triangle
and a green and white Z (e.g. python). What's the difference?

The final aspect is specific to gtk2. There is a patch for gtk2, which I
have installed. Why can't I see a matching patch to gtk2-debuginfo?
There's a version conflict. Am I misunderstanding something or is this a
bug?

 Yes, I do have a Itaniun 64 based machine.

An x86_64 is not the same as an ia64 (google for more info if
necessary :). It would have been helpful to give us that information at
the beginning.

The ia64 is nowadays an unusual machine. There's a specific
opensuse-ia64 mailing list - you may get more expert advice there.

If you have any possibility to install the corsika application on
another machine that uses the x86_64 architecture, I would do that. It
will be a lot easier because you can just use the precompiled packages
in YaST to setup your development environment.

Even if you do need it on the ia64, it may be worth setting up the
development environment on an x86_64 machine and building corsika on it
just to see how it all works. Then with the benefit of that successful
experience, you could try recompiling on the ia64.

Sorry, I don't understand this at all. What's refresh? How can I see
what doesn't satisfy the patch (Check says all dependencies are OK)? How

autoinstalled?

  The final aspect is specific to gtk2. There is a patch for gtk2, which I

Kind of.

If you need to debug something requiring a debug info rpm, and there has 
been an update, then you can't proceed. I have been bitten a few times by 
this. The debug repository has no updates at all since release date of the

Can you use Ctrl-Alt-F10 to switch to terminal, before it crashes, to see the

it is standard GUI with YaST, that doesn't tell much.

If you have another machine on same LAN you can setup log facility there as

 I have had luck running alsaconf (as root) to configure sound on a SuSE
 system when I was expieriencing sound problems.


Hi Curtis,

Yes it is possible, but it will leave you with sound system that you have to 
maintain, and in this case Brandon's problem was listening of mp3 files, 
which has nothing to do with sound driver. The official solution in openSUSE 
is Realplayer that has to be installed and than it should work.

  Hi,
 Thats the first thing i did. The Yast keeps crashing before it
  starts. May be i have to try No arch version.
 
  With Regards,

 Can you use Ctrl-Alt-F10 to switch to terminal, before it crashes, to see
the
 log. Than you can test output on Alt-F1, Alt-F2, etc, but skip Alt-F7
because
 it is standard GUI with YaST, that doesn't tell much.

 This might be helpfull to debug.
 If you have another machine on same LAN you can setup log facility there
as
 described in:

http://en.opensuse.org/YaST_Remote_Logging_in_Installation
 that will probably the best way to troubleshoot problem.

[opensuse] Is this a bug of SUSE? Cannot load autoyast profile from harddisk,

2007-07-18 Thread Da Shuang He
I make a bootable disk, and I can start to install the SUSE, but when it 
tries to find the autoyast file, it can't find it, and I write the kernel 
parameter like this :
 
title SUSE 10 Installation
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/linux root=/dev/sda1 ramdisk_size=8192 install=hd://sda1/SUSE 
autoyast=device://sda1/autoinst.xml splash=silent showopts
initrd /boot/initrd 

When I try autoyast=device://sda1/autoinst.xml, the error is ,

An error occurred while fetching the profile:
File /tmp/Yast2-02878-KeDBUh/tmp_mount/autoinst.xml cannot be found



And when I use  file:///autoinst.xml and default, the error is,

An error occurred while fetching the profile:
Reading file on /var/adm/mount//autoinst.xml failed. 
Reading file on /autoinst.xml failed. 
Reading file on CD failed. Path 
/tmp/Yast2-02878-KeDBUh/tmp_mount/autoinst.xml


And when I try to use hd://sda1/autoinst.xml
It tells me hd is unknown protocol,


Can someone tell how should I write the parameter for autoyast, or do you 
know somebody else can help me on this ? Or this is a bug of SUSE?

 wiki settings i think. you need an account for editing e.g. so some
 items of the sidebar are only available to users who can actually use
 them.

This is strange. I edit that Sidebar, but guest get no changes.

Okay, seems im loosing it :D It seems working now. Couple of hours ago,

http://fi.opensuse.org/Communicate and members
http://fi.opensuse.org/Kommunikoi

Now i added *test link to it http://fi.opensuse.org/MediaWiki:Sidebar ,
but it doesnt show in links.
Is there some time frame or something because it behives strange?
