That's ok, but it should have been clarified at the beginning of the development stage, I think. Now, 17 days before the release, it is probably too late to get them fixed for 2.20, which will be included in openSUSE 10.3.

Re: [opensuse-factory] Device already mounted or mountpoint busy error after some beta2 update, I guess
On Sunday 02 September 2007 16:15, Wolfgang Woehl wrote: ... Be aware that abandoning mount by device path was forced by increasing number of devices that can be mounted in different order on each boot which results in different path. All SATA and USB devices are prone to that. Internal sata devices could be mounted in different order each boot? My bad :-( SATA is not in the same bag as USB. SATA device placement can be changed on hardware changes. Adding or removing PATA drive will automatically change SATA placement reported by BIOS and goof mounting if it is defined by device path. This is not a big problem if you know that it exists, but there is no problem if you use present schema or mounting by label (haven't checked the rest). In order to access them you have to know where they are located, with different path each time you have to find something that doesn't change. Serial numbers are safe bet, they will be the same even across multiple installations, or large systems with whole a lot of hard disks. Lables would be too, but than you risk to create system that is today fine, but with increase in number of devices can run out of available labels in the future. The present system will hardly hit the limit any soon. Ok, I've read up a bit on udev and am aware now of the possibilities. But I'm not running a serverfarm here. The openSUSE is created for many different users, and present schema works for all of them. Besides if you replace disk with present schema mount will report error even if disk is formatted ie. mountable, but content doesn't fit in your system. This will prompt you to update configuration. Mount by path on the other hand can happily accept that disk which can lead to problems later. The label system can do the same if label is the same. I change disks once in 2 years maybe. For most desktop users this is not an issue, except the case with SATA drives that happen not so often. Anyway, if all this worked I couldn't care less, except for the serial number notion (which i realize is not trivial to get rid of if you want the above safety net). If disk serial number is problem as privacy concern, than forget it. The Ethernet card has unique number, motherboard, if computer is brand name, has another one, than IP address, and more can be used to identify person. Of course not by everyone, but privacy in the Internet is illusion. Those that sell privacy services with very broad claims of protection count on peoples lack of knowledge. Browse Internet anonymously is one of slogans I can recall. They protect to some extent, but far from total. But my initial posting was about an internal device disappearing from the usual mount infrastructure. It is solved.

From what I read here, the reporting of bugs to the upstream GNOME bug database does not work as well as it could, so the first step for anyone who complains here should be to verify all problems he sees _are_ reported upstream. That is usually the first step for getting them fixed also in the final release (or a bugfix release afterwards) and therefore also in the version shipped in the distro. Reporting bugs back to the upstream project is a vital step, and we in the projects making the software itself sometimes get bitten by that not being done - so please everyone who actually sees such problems, go out and try forwarding the bugs upstream and comment the upstream bug ID in the openSUSE bug, that helps more than complaining here.

Right. And after all, this is only GNOME and everybody reasonable uses KDE anyways (because it has much less bugs, for example) :P I don't agree.

Reporting on Novell bugzilla is what is required by openSUSE developers. Noone never talked of reporting bugs upstream too. If that's the desired behaviour, it should be clarified. Moreover, it think it would be easier if this task is done directly by the developer to whom the bug in Novell bugzilla is assigned. He would be automatically subscribed to the bug report made upstream, and he is surely able to provide more complete information.

Re: [opensuse] XEN Help Please
Hi, I am in desperate need of Asterisk 1.4 and freePBX 2.3. Unfortunately, freePBX requires Apache to be run as user/group asterisk, what makes current server incompatible with any other web applications. I'm wondering: where is the problem in running as user/group asterik? After all it's only a name. Other distributions use other usernames. I probably don't see something obvious but I think that you only have to find all files owned by www and wwwrun, chown them to asterisk, change apache's configuration directives, and your other web applications should work? Anyway better use a dedicated, physical server for a voip system. Kind regards, Gael -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[opensuse] PAM mk_homedir when coming through SSH
Hi list, - in PAM there's a thing called mk_homedir (I think). It works when you're doing AD integrations, i.e. it'll create a users homedir if the user exists in the AD but yet hasn't logged into the Linux box. - What if the user comes in (for the first time) though SSH, authenticates against the AD, and then wants a home-dir to be created. Which PAM file (in /etc/pam.d) should I modify?

Re: [opensuse] Bluetooth not visible to phone on SuSE 10.2
Hi, I (still) have the same problem. I posted it to the german suse list some weeks and I ain't got no reply. But initiating the connection from the computer fit my needs, so I didnot spend much time to find a way to get the normal behaviour. So if you find a solution I am interested as well.

Re: [opensuse] 10.1 Multiple wireless routers 1 wireless card?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Adolph Weidanz wrote: Hey all... This might be one of those that just can't be done... Ok... I have a DLink 451 (HSDPA hotspot wireless router) that I have setup as 192.168.1.1 w/ DHCP off (all the computers have set IPs). I also have a ancient linksys befw11s4 wireless. In a perfect world I want to have the linksys act as an AP for the printer (yes it is networkable) and the dlink connect to the world. All of the computers would connect via the dlink, but be able to print by sending via cups to 192.168.1.1/2 Now I found a couple of ideas on how to do it: I set the linksys to 192.168.1.2, both the routers are on channel 1. One place I've run into problems is that the howtos I've found all say that the essid's have to be different. So say, the dlink's essid is route1, and linksys is route2. The problem with this is the network card setup requires an essid in order to use WEP. If I use route1 then it can't see route2. The easiest way to do it is to buy a second wireless card and set the linksys as 192.168.0.1, but I would rather get it to work without the this way. Any ideas be appreciated... What I am not clear about is whether the other machines have wi-fi or cable networking ... Unfortunately AP are low level connection points and normal IP based routing techniques cannot be used with the APs themselves. If you choose to run two distinct wireless networks and you need one machine to connect to both you will need two wi-fi cards on that machine. To avoid the two interfering with each other you need them to be on two channels at least 2 apart (i.e. 5 7 , 6 8) but preferably further, it is definitely not a good idea to have them on the same channel. BTW Check your countries wireless regulation a couple of EU states have some restrictions on what channels can be used. You do not state the make of printer or the distance between printer and the box you wish to connect to. Some printer have Bluetooth support or can be upgraded with a WiFi card this may provide an alternative option. It is possibled to setup a wireless bridge but this is usually only possible with two devices from the same manufacturer which have support for that manufacturers bridging technology (I am running a netgear wifi bridge based setup myself). You will probably be able to do this if one or other of the manufacturers of your current APs supplies an AP with bridge support that can be connected to by cable to the other manufacturers router.

All of these references to bonding are CRAP , I have a stack of IBM x305 servers all of which come with two Broadcom nics which under Netware are very easy to load balance with, I have released a few of these servers by building vmware replacements for functions like the printserver I was using for Iprint. With the released servers I have been working with SLES 10 sp1 and OES2 BETA, the documentation for bonding is as vague as one could possibly find in a enterprise solution. I had to combine all of these papers and some seat of the pants know how to get it working. The new Yast Networking module supports bonding , but there is no documentation that tells you how to set your physical nics up as slaves so you have to read and apply the CLI papers to figure that out. Then there are issues with options, the documentation regarding the setting of the VNic (bond0) are even worse, only trial and error got me to use the -rr (round robin) setting correctly. Novell and the SUSE team need to invest heavily in YaST usability. YaST is a very useful tool but it too often assumes that it is a shortcut for a CLI user rather than the primary tool set for a new Linux Admin\User. The left pain that is supposed to be the guide to setup needs to include more links to, preferably Novell on-line Docs, but really good community docs specific to SUSE\YaST usage would be acceptable p.s this documentation void is also very evident in the advanced functions of the DHCP and DNS servers. -- James Tremblay Director of Technology Newmarket School District Newmarket,NH http://en.opensuse.org/Education let's make a difference -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What I am not clear about is whether the other machines have wi-fi or cable networking ... The other machines are all wi-fi, the only cable I wanted to use was the one between the linksys and the printer. Unfortunately AP are low level connection points and normal IP based routing techniques cannot be used with the APs themselves. Since the printer has it's own IP (192.168.1.15) then would the AP be transparent and the packet just hunt down where .15 is? No.. been there, got the teeshirt. What you will have is two separate networks that will not pass info between each other and random connectivity to the APs that link to those networks.. not only will you not get the result you desire you are likely to prang the whole network (as routing will become chaotic). To integrate the APs you need to bridge between them somehow so everything is always connectable to everything else. APs do not function like network cards they provide the equivalent of the wire to connect between locations. A possible alternative is a power cable network connection (via your power cables, not a lot of bandwidth but do you really need it for a printer?). I have never investigated using this technology with Linux but it might worth considering in your situation. . If you choose to run two distinct wireless networks and you need one machine to connect to both you will need two wi-fi cards on that machine. To avoid the two interfering with each other you need them to This is what I was hoping to avoid. I guess this is the way to go, the cards are fairly cheap... With this you will have two approaches available (bridging or routing), with the linux bridge support I have had problems with WiFi cards so routing is probably the soundest option. BTW you may have further problems if you use a laptop for routing, a desktop class machine is probably preferable. You do not state the make of printer or the distance between printer and the box you wish to connect to. Some printer have Bluetooth support or can be upgraded with a WiFi card this may provide an alternative option. The printer is a Dell 1600N and the linksys router sits next to it. The dlink sits about 30ft away, but because of the location a wire can't be run from the printer to the dlink. Finally, there are wireless print servers available. But they are more then the wireless cards, and the goal of the setup was to make it work with existing equipment. Actually if you have old knackered PC available you can put in a a WiFi card in it and connect to the printer directly.

I will suggest using an empty hard drive for this installation; that means no other operating system on it, ok? The partition process is automatic and it will erase all your data from the selected hard drive. Unquote - I have my hard drive split into two different partitions by Partition Magic. Can I safely assume I may substitute selected partition for selected hard drive above?

Jan,
Nice conf file, (now try that with the GUI only, and submit those
instructions to the wiki) but it still does nothing to improve teaching
the process to the uninitiated windows convert, aka GUI Slaves.
However wonderful and useful the command line is to us old hacks(15 year
Netware guy here), the guy supporting 150 or even 15 pc's (the bread and
butter market) who wants to cut costs on his W2K3 server licensing by
replacing windblows with SuSE, is far from having the time to learn and
use it...let alone find and sift through 5 or 10 docs related to SuSE 7,
8 or even the now obsolete 9, of course there are those meatwhistles

their mothers basement and think DHCP is a bad idea, need I say more

What I am not clear about is whether the other machines have wi-fi or cable networking ... The other machines are all wi-fi, the only cable I wanted to use was the one between the linksys and the printer. Unfortunately AP are low level connection points and normal IP based routing techniques cannot be used with the APs themselves. Since the printer has it's own IP (192.168.1.15) then would the AP be transparent and the packet just hunt down where .15 is? No.. been there, got the teeshirt. What you will have is two separate networks that will not pass info between each other and random connectivity to the APs that link to those networks.. not only will you not get the result you desire you are likely to prang the whole network (as routing will become chaotic). To integrate the APs you need to bridge between them somehow so everything is always connectable to everything else. APs do not function like network cards they provide the equivalent of the wire to connect between locations. A possible alternative is a power cable network connection (via your power cables, not a lot of bandwidth but do you really need it for a printer?). I have never investigated using this technology with Linux but it might worth considering in your situation. . If you choose to run two distinct wireless networks and you need one machine to connect to both you will need two wi-fi cards on that machine. To avoid the two interfering with each other you need them to This is what I was hoping to avoid. I guess this is the way to go, the cards are fairly cheap... With this you will have two approaches available (bridging or routing), with the linux bridge support I have had problems with WiFi cards so routing is probably the soundest option. BTW you may have further problems if you use a laptop for routing, a desktop class machine is probably preferable. You do not state the make of printer or the distance between printer and the box you wish to connect to. Some printer have Bluetooth support or can be upgraded with a WiFi card this may provide an alternative option. The printer is a Dell 1600N and the linksys router sits next to it. The dlink sits about 30ft away, but because of the location a wire can't be run from the printer to the dlink. Finally, there are wireless print servers available. But they are more then the wireless cards, and the goal of the setup was to make it work with existing equipment. Actually if you have old knackered PC available you can put in a a WiFi card in it and connect to the printer directly. (You only would only need a monitor for the initial setup). I musta missed the original post. It sounds like you want to connect a printer to a router / wap and use it on an existing wireless network. I have my computer connected that way right now! I had a Linksys WAP11 originally, there is a setting in one of the menu's that allows it to operate basiclly in reverse, after you set it up you can unplug a wired system and plug in the AP and the system knows no difference. I just upgraded to a Buffalo WHR-G54S and did the same thing, so it can be done, it's all in the setup! I bought the Buffalo because it was $50 with $25 in rebates. HTH, Good Luck.

[opensuse] Statically linked openmotif applications core dump on startup

They are still stored in the same location though when you add them. It's quite possible that the gnome control center will let you add them as well.

So assuming that all those 256 packages would be fixed (noone fixes them currently, not even all the yast2 packages which contain COPYING twice are fixed even though I filed a bugreport a couple of months ago), we could save 336kb of space. thats not an awful lot, given that we have packages on the CD where we could save 5MB with a blink of an eye.

Thats not a reason. we rely on package dependencies already for other licensing issues, and this would be no different. otherwise you could also say that if a user installs all his pacakges with all files but the COPYING file would also be a licensing violation. -- RPMLINT information under http://en.opensuse.org/Packaging/RpmLint - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Note that at the moment we ship a lot of packages without any license in (one of) the RPM(s) at all. Which is worse(?), so I don't see a problem but a chance in the license package to fix this issue as well.

Hi, On Mon, 3 Sep 2007, Marcus Rueckert wrote: Does rpm fail to install the package or does it create a full copy of the file on the other partition ? If it is the later, I think hardlinks are okay to use .. it fails horribly. taking into account the comment from bwalle about different meanings of files in different subdirectories, i think the only valid thing is that fdupes should only hardlink files in the same directory. Fix rpm. _That's_ the only valid thing. If not possible for 10.3, make %fdupes a noop for now.

If you really need what those macros do, create a patch instead.
I added these because of the Packman guidelines for Biarch/AMD64.
http://wiki.links2linux.de/en/index.php/PackMan:PackagingConventions#Biarch.2FAMD64
Biarch/AMD64
Various issues related to building on biarch/amd64 architecture:
must use %suse_update_config -f and %suse_update_libdir before configure
with every package - note that it might break the build of some packages,
so it must be tested (only remove it if it breaks), like this:
...
%{?suse_update_config:BuildRequires:autoconf automake libtool}
...
%prep
%setup -q .
%{?suse_update_libdir:%{suse_update_libdir}}
%{?suse_update_config:%{suse_update_config -f}}
Why did the packman people say this, why are they wrong, and what should
I do instead?

[opensuse-wiki] Status new wiki skin
Hi, a short note on the status of the new skin for the wiki: - the new skin is currently tested on staging. Staging has some real data from the wiki (half a year old), so we can test the skin in almost real life. This has revealed some minor CSS/Template issues I am currently fixing (Staging is our internal testing platform and not available from the outside) - the use of the new rss feed extension on the home page (which fetches the RSS data from news.opensuse.org) has revealed a serious issue with my template: the right navigation bar on the home page does not get parsed by the wiki - so wiki syntax including extension stuff will not work here. I have to admit that I haven't found a solution, yet (apart from a dirty hack I do not really want to implement). Anybody out there with in-depth knowledge of MediaWiki templating and wiki parsing functions? Planned steps: Once the template issue has been resolved, we are almost ready to go online. The last step will be to provide ready to paste new home pages on en.test.opensuse.org. Once the new skin is on production, these new starting pages will have to be transferred via cut paste to production. Details on this procedure will follow in time. -- Regards Frank Frank Sundermeyer, Technical Writer, Documentation SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg Tel: +49-911-74053-0, Fax: +49-911-7417755; http://www.opensuse.org/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Reality is always controlled by the people who are most insane (Dogbert) - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse-wiki] news.openSUSE and leftbar listing
Hi, at news.opensuse.org the leftbar lists categories above calendar. So on many screens the calendar section with the events is below the fold. I think exchanging the two would be useful for the mayority of visitors of news.opensuse.org. Yes, I think showing the calendar/events more prominent is more important as the categories. Are there more people out there sharing my opinion?
