Access to use your DNS server for recursive queries is controlled in
your named.conf in section options.

Especially I have for example:
allow-query { ::1/128; 127.0.0.1; localnets; };
recursion yes;

Which means that only localhost and "localnets" are allowed to use your
DNS server to resolve any fqdn.

Access to your own local zones is granted in the respective zone section
where you may want to define:
allow-query { any; };
if your hosts should be reachable externally.

Looks like its just really slow not just on MyRealBox because the backup
address also shows the same few messages.  Kind of freeky having our
list quiet.  Perhaps this is the calm before the 10.3 release we all
hope will fix the 10.2 problems.

I do not have any reason for these addresses to be querying my DNS

on my system, then to bypass security on their own network using my
system to provide them probing or other access they otherwise wouldn't
have.If they were asking for information about *my* systems, for
instance, about mail or www, that would be legimitate querying of my

information that requires that I query overseas is very suspicious.   

My question is how can I limit what external sites can query, ie, *I* or
my network machines may need to lookup any of those same queries (though
I can't see why at the moment), but external sites have no business
doing so.   External sites *may* have legitimate reasons to look up
certain public addresses like mail or www or similar information so I
can't just shut off  port 53 to outsiders.I remember once upon a

I don't have a .xine directory on either release and no "leds" in either

I did delete the sound card in YAST on 10.2 and re-configured it. Now
the mixer window comes up with sliders (no "leds") and KMix doesn't have
the little red x anymore.  Still no sound.

[opensuse] KVM-Xen - a new breakthrough in Linux virtualization

2007-07-21 Thread Alexey Eremenko

Hi All !

On the internet, I came across a *very* interesting document, that
describes KVM-Xen, a new breakthrough technology, that leverages KVM
to allow running XenoLinux guests, without Xen hyperviser and without
VT hardware ! A new KVM-Xen backend does all the job in a
Linux-friendly way !

KVM-Xen: (21.07.2007)
https://ols2006.108.redhat.com/2007/Reprints/harper-Reprint.pdf

Have an interesting reading !

==
P.S:
Unfortunately, that document contained zero data about the project's
homepage. Googling returned a whole range of irrelevant results.

Who is responsible for KVM-Xen development ? RedHat or IBM ?
Where can I get more data about this project ?

I believe this technology could be useful for openSUSE.

Yes, it is sensor chip readout. To tell what is connected to input, ie. to 
give meaning to numbers one should know motherboard schematic diagram. I don't 
have one so this has to be guesswork.

About 3.3 V:
It is nominal 3.3V +/- 5% tolerance. This means it is considered good if it is 
between: 
max 3.3V+5%=3.465V
min 3.3V-5%=3.135V
Here only in1 has good 3.3 value of 3.23V. 
Some voltage drop is normal. 

I got the chip datasheet that has an example schematics and VIN1 is used as 
3.3V input which is not necessarily the same as applied on motherboard, but I 
don't think that motherboard designer spent time shuffling the inputs to get 
the same result. This will be properly presented if you add this to 
sensors.conf section 
 chip "w83627thf-*" "w83637hf-*"
    label in1 +3.3V
    set in1_min 3.3*0.95
    set in1_max 3.3*1.05

The multiplier 1.05 is for +5% and 0.95 is -5%. 
Of course you should remove, or comment out, any other line in that section
that is influencing in1. 

Though I would try first to set vrm to 2.4 first. 

> In the regular conf file "set" determines what "in" is what. 
> Correct here?

The "set"  is used to overide hard coded (default) values of sensors binary. 
In above example you can see how to overide wrong (min =  +2.05 V, max 
=  +1.36 V) that is hard coded in program for vrm 9.0. BTW, vrm 9.0 is also 
default if you don't overide it with:
     set vrm 2.4
and run 
     sensors -s 
as root. It may not work with openSUSE 10.2, but than it should be reported as 
a bug. 

The "label" is the one that tell us how to understand the value. It will 
change nothing, but printout on the screen, instead of "in1", that tells us 
nothing, it will show "+3,3V".

It has to be root in order to access /sys directory. 
I hope it sensors is patched for openSUSE, if not than this will do nothing.

As mentioned before:
   set vrm 2.4
is what you need. Than we should go and correct values if some is not good. 
According to lm-sensors web page changing default vrm 9.0 to one that you need 
should be supported in driver for your chip.

Min and max are wrong. 
You CPU would missbehave and overheat with 1.6V which is much lower than 
1.94V, so alarm will not come at all, as computer will freeze or reset before 
any alarm.

RealTek is generally supported on install.  Is this sound device

konsole?

Interesting it says it could not load the module not that it was missing
or unsupported.  Have you tried the repair function off the installation

Hi! :-)

Was someone able to install SAGEM FAST 800 modem (-router), with the latest 
firmware (E4)?


Seems like previous firmware versions (E1-2-3), was linux combatible, but 
the latest E4 version, has broken linux combatibility (no matter, what 
distribution you are using).


I have this, from my ISP provider. I couldn't install it. Maybe a good idea, 
is to buy a new one (not windows specific).

Hello all,
My old and loyal desktop PC at home got hosed recently after years of

something (VIA chipset) with AMD Athlon 1GHz.


I'm looking for a replacement. Something very economical in terms of pricing 
and it should be very friendly with Linux. And as a "nice to have" feature is 
preferably the display adapter will be able to run Beryl.


I had a GA-7ZXE which gave me years of joy (it's still ticking over 
merrily in a family PC.  I decided to replace it because it lacked USB2, 
 firewire, onboard network and SATA, and I had a SoundBlaster live, so 
trying to add everything I needed I was running out of PCI slots.



After a brief period of frustration with the top-of-the-line ASUS 
(A7-V880 or something like that), I got GA-7VT600-L which gave me all 
the features and everything worked 100% in Linux.


http://www.giga-byte.co.uk/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=1817&ModelName=GA-7VT600-L

It doesn't, however, have onboard graphics.  There are pretty much two 
options as far as onboard graphics on Socket A boards - VIA (really S3 
savage, afaik) or SiS.  I'm not sure if they will be fast enough.  And 
from what I've seen SiS hardware 3D is pretty poor under Linux.

If you can get a board with an AGP slot, and an entry level nVidia or 
ATi card, it would probably be a better solution.

[opensuse] problem on reboot - no sound....

2007-07-21 Thread Clayton

Ok, this is a problem I've had before and I have never resolved it.

I'm using openSUSE10.2 with all the usual updates that most of us pull
from Guru, Packman etc.  Sound hardware is SBlaster Live 5.1, nVidia
7600, AMD 64 X2 processor.

I rarely reboot, but happened to do a restart today.  On restart,
sound was not working.  I started YaST and the sound card appeared to
be recognized, but it was configured incorrectly.  Almost as if it was
crossed up with another sound driver (worth noting I have a webcam and
a Logitech USB headset, both of which show up as sound devices).

If I delete the existing sound card in YaST, I immediately loose my
desktop background and all desktop icons (the desktop goes black).

I can add back the sound card using the default quick setup, and
immediately sound starts working again... the desktop is still broken
(no icons ect.)  To "fix" the Desktop I have to restart X (log out of
KDE and back in again).

I can easily duplicate the problem... it happens on every reboot
(loose the sound card, and when I add the sound card back in I loose
the desktop).  It seems to make no difference if my webcam and USB
headset are plugged in at boot or not... the problem still persists.

I have read through my messages, warn, and Xorg logs, and there are no
error messages (that I can see).  Nothing to indicate why my sound
card is broken on restart, or why when I remove the sound card using
YaST, I loose my Desktop icons and background.  How are these even
remotely related?

Does anyone have any ideas here?

Insert it in "/etc/init.d/after.local". But you have got to find a way to 
"beep". Have a look at /etc/init.d/halt; it uses:

echo -en "\033[10;393]\a\033[10;262]"

or:

for tone in 524 491 440 393 349 328 295 ; do
echo -en "\033[10;${tone}]\a"
usleep 125000
done
echo -en "\033[10;262]"


All this things assume a console, by the way, but should work with no 
monitor, I suppose.

[opensuse] Making my system beep at completed runlevel?

2007-07-21 Thread Rikard Johnels
Hi all.
I have a "headless black box" in a closet that i fiddle around with quite a 
lot, and its a bit annoying not knowing when it has rebooted properly and is 
ready for service.
I think it was the "Smoothwall" firewall that beeped me when it botted up and 
was running. But i never got the hang of how.
I did a google on "how to make beeps at startup", and the onlything i came up 
with is the command "beep".
But if i run it nothing happens???
No sound, nada.
All i want is the machine to make a few beeps as it is finnished entering 
runlevel 3 (My default RL for that one)
There is no soundcard in it, so running esd, alsa or anything else is out of 
the question.

That got it! I had -1 and changed it to -15. Now it works fine with SeaMonkey. 
I'll have to fix  Konqueror next.

Thanks!

This has nothing to do with vista, it is just a question of the character 
encoding used on that web page. Usually a webpage identifies the used 
encoding in the source code with something like



If this indication is missing (or wrong) the browser doesn't know which 
character table it should use to display the chars correctly and it uses its 
default encoding (which on Suse 10. usually might be utf-8).

It's also possible, that you have set the characters encoding for your browser 
to a specifiv encoding instead of "Auto".

In this case you can change the characters encoding via menu->view->character 
encoding. German language sites often use ISO-8859-1, in seamonkey this is in 
menu->view->character encoding->More encodings->West European->Western (ISO 
8859-1). For pages with correct charset identification you can always use 
Auto-Detect->Universal.

Using no or the wrong character encoding often happens when people write their 
code on Win-PC's, because Win-Users don't have any idea of anything (or they 
would not use Win...). They think they just write "text", but if you don't 
explicitely tell Win to use a reasonable encoding it might use something 
Win-specific which is always the contrary of useful. 

So just play around with different encodings on such pages until the page 
displays correctly. 

regards

Daniel

Sure Joe,
I had already unsubscribed from that another email. That makes me wondering 
why then I began receiving from it again. I've just unsubscribed again now.

Did you unsubscribe with the other address?  If you want only one copy,
unsubscribe one and resubscribe to the nomail version, allowing you to
post but not to receive mail.

I assume your browser is set to UTF8.  Go to View, Character encoding,
and change it to ISO-8859-1 or -15.  HTH.

[opensuse] Browser question

2007-07-21 Thread James Hatridge
Hi all,

In the past few weeks (since Vista came out, if that adds anything) I've seen 
an odd thing on my browsers. I use mostly SeaMonkey and Konqueror. On many 
web sites where the !"§$%& and öäüß etc are I see only a black diamond with a 
question mark in it. Any ideas why this is and how to fix it? 

Thanks,

JIM
