[opensuse-factory] Defunct package management stack behind proxy with authentication
Hola openSUSE users! As those of you who are using openSUSE 10.3 in networks behind proxy requiring authentication with username password might have already noticed, package management stack i.e. YaST and zypper does not work out-of-the-box in such environment (for more info see bug #330351 and bug #227511, also http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:Most_Annoying_Bugs_10.3#openSUSE_10.3 links there) I have worked on the fix with Jano Kupec (zypper maintainer) and it's ready, but we are well aware of the fact that if we make it available as online update, those who are affected by this error will not be able to download it. There is an easy workaround and I'd like to use this mailing list to make it as much public as possible. Simply edit your /root/.curlrc file so that it looks like this: --proxy-user = username:password --proxy = http://proxy.domain.com:8080; ( '=' characters are very important, thanks to Senthil Nachimuthu for pointing this out :-) ) Also, do not forget to escape any backslashes in username (which is another bug #331038, to be fixed together with this one) Please apply the above mentioned workaround(s), or download yast2-network 2.16.2 package from the Factory if you are affected by these bugs.

If you find out how to run the kde shutdown from the shell (some dcop magic I expect), then you can of course replace the 'shutdown' command with it. Zypper just exits when it's done with it's job, it doesn't care about your open applications. IIRC, it's 'dcop ksmserver ksmserver logout 1 0 1' But I'm not sure about the arguments.

L. OK, i get your point now... ;-) Please, do not take it personally. There are really another features we had better focus on. If there is another way how to do a simple task such as halting the system after zypper finishes, It will be hard to persuade a zypper developer to implement it :) It depends just on what has to be done, if one knows that, it is not hard. Stano wrote: IIRC, it's 'dcop ksmserver ksmserver logout 1 0 1' But I'm not sure about the arguments. the arguments are known by somebody also, and what is wrong about working together for all of us? You could want the same feature, for instance, from xmms developers (play the music as goodnight and halt) but the same job would do `mpg123 *.mp3; halt`. Bash is just a scripting language `man bash` shows a lot. I do not want to argue about this, but it is not quite the same. Sometimes one has a better or faster connection at night, but has to do work in the daytime. If about 2,5 GB has to be downloaded, it takes few hours..

This is the latest svn snapshot of omnibook trunk. modprobe reports a FATAL Error regarding the module format: [root Rankin-P35a:/lib/modules/2.6.22.3-ccj53-default/extra] # modprobe -v omnibook insmod /lib/modules/2.6.22.3-ccj53-default/extra/omnibook.ko FATAL: Error inserting omnibook (/lib/modules/2.6.22.3-ccj53-default/extra/omnibook.ko): Invalid module format omnibook: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module I'm not trying to be disagreeable with the module, so why in the heck is it being disagreeable with me? Actually, I think I've been quite accommodating to the little guy. The 2.6.22.3-ccj53 rpm build reused KMPs from 2.6.22.2-ccj52. `rpm -q omnibook-kmp-default` should confirm that. This works because modules and kernel can compare API (by means of agreeing over checksums) instead of (agreeing over) version strings. [ And this is also why a lot of newbies get confused when the kernel version does not match the version of, say, ati or nvidia rpm even though things are working. ] rpm is smart in this regard, as that it stores the API checksums as Requires: and Provides: tags for all kernel stuff, so that everything should workd out. I *did* test that all ccj52 KMPs could be installed into a ccj53 without turning up dependency issues. (on ccj53 w/o ccj52: rpm --test -ihv *kmp*ccj52*.i586.rpm) But seems like it hit omnibook anyway. Not sure why that is. Needless to say that you should upgrade to 2.6.22.9-ccj54 or higher because of the exploit.

[opensuse] Re: Cannot mount NFS as user under 10.3
I've just installed 10.3 and am trying to enable mounting NFS volumes for standard user accounts. Under 10.2 this worked by adding the users flag to '/etc/fstab' for the respective volume. Now in 10.3 I am only getting an error mount: 192.168.1.1:/Share failed, reason given by server: Permission denied. Mounting as root works fine as does mounting as a user from a 10.2 machine, so it doesn't seem like a problem on the server. I have exactly the same problem. Mounting as root works. Mounting as user gives back the same error message you wrote. From a openSUSE 10.2 client mounting as user is no problem, with the same fstab entry. So I'm also searching for a solution for this problem. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

used it... being basically monolingual, with just enough knowledge of
Dutch, German and Spanish to get myself into trouble, I haven't
needed a Compose key, and I suspect the vast majority haven't
either. It might be a very good idea that this is enabled by default
in .Xmodmap (if it isn't already? I'm not at home right now so can't
check to see if Carlos' instructions work for me) and that this is
clearly documented somewhere (ie keystrokes for the different chars).
If we can make it clear that typing these chars is relatively easy to
do, this might ease the pain of the transition a little

If the location is taken it makes it more difficult (but not impossible) to hijack. No you can't, because linux will only allow you to mount things as a user when permission is explicitly given in fstab. Which means the worst they could do is remount the same resource If you think this is wrong, please give a concrete example of how it could be done snip something about home directories on samba shares Obviously your scenario is just wrong. I think you need to do a little research into both AD and NDS and some Network Operating System concepts You are thinking server and machine centric not network centric... e.g. NT user accounts are frequently dynamically created on the local machine on login and the account removed on logout, accounts and their settings exist on the network NOT the machine (I am unaware of anything similar on *NIX). The approach has its problems but works well enough... First of all, for the kind of shares you're talking about, there are the non-mounted resources (smb:// in various browsers and vfs implementations). You can't have your home directory on samba anyway (or at least you shouldn't). So that eliminates your scenario If the directory is mounted on login there is no real reason why you should not either. You are obviously completely unfamiliar with concept of the hotdesk. Let me spell it out ... user does not have own machine, user may have own resources and own role in organisation, user must be able sit down and use any machine in a pool of machines and use as own... This is commonly used in teaching institutions, call centres, and other variants of cubicle land... And are you seriously suggesting that in organisation with several hundred users that you set up several hundred home directories (and associated accounts) on each machine in the pool? The browser is an approach with limitations. For it to work with reasonable safety any settings need to travel with the user and not be tied to the machine. Oddly enough this is something fairly easy to do with Windows with AD or NDS... Secondly, one single mount point for all users is just bad, it won't work. There are a number of references to this type of configuration around with NFS, there is usually a single mount point but is lower down the hierarchy on the server end and in theory you should only see the material pertinent to the logged in user. There have various ways of presenting a file system across a network for a long time in *NIX world, but they do not really fit more recent desktop use models. Thirdly, if there really is a need for mounting, there is FUSE (but there isn't a need, so...) Have you actually tried smbfuse? It crawlsveeer slooowwwllyy :-) When I last looked at it, it spent an awful lot of time authenticating when I tracked what was happening, also can pick stuff that do not want to be picked up if you are not careful ... Nice idea but not currently usable... Finally, for the kind of conditional mounts you refer to, there is autofs You are talking hardware conditional not user/location conditional. i.e. If A is member of group 2 they can use resource VI when they log in... What we considering is the concept of single point of login and transparent access to resources One of the most serious security issues is password and identity overload... if people have lots of IDs and passwords people starting loosing track what password works with which ID... so people people starting making life easy for themselves and choose insecure password or put the passwords down on a bit of paper..

On Monday 08 October 2007 18:26, Jan Engelhardt wrote: We could get away doing that kind of thing back in the days when we were that small German company SuSE. But now that SUSE is owned 100% by Novell, that just won't work any more. Why is why takeovers of this magnitude are evil :-) Having been through all that, having owned employee shares (and lost a lot of money with them), having seen investors buying out the previous owners of the old SuSE (including the employees who held shares) for pennies in exchange for big bucks, having stood with our feet one inch before the abyss and having to accept that kind of buyout, I can say this about the Novell takeover: I am not a big fan of big companies that favour shareholder value above anything else. Far from it. I don't usually advocate Novell, nor do I get any benefits from doing so. It's my personal mind that is speaking here. But being owned by a tech company that is interested in the technology you make, a company that has great visions about that technology, a company that values the people having the know-how -- all that beats the hell out of being owned by a bunch of investment banks that just want to make a quick buck and then good riddance (and firing ~40% of all people in the process while setting up their own top managers who made quite some money). Back then (before the takeover by the investment banks), we were broke (and it was our own fault, nobody else's). Literally. We didn't have a choice. So the old SuSE management had to reach for any straw, even if that meant handing the company over to said investment banks. But we got lucky: The quick buck those investment banks wanted to make turned out to go to Novell, a company which back then had realized that they needed some technology to replace Netware -- for them as for their customers. Novell didn't jump the MS bandwagon; they saw their future in Linux. So they began buying Linux companies that were for sale. One such company was Ximian, one other was SuSE. And then something began that we remaining SuSE people wouldn't have believed: Not only did they realize the value of a well-known brand name SuSE, they even did everything to absorb every tiny little bit of Linux know-how. Big and mighty 5000 people Novell started listening to tiny 350 people SuSE. The tail (SuSE) was beginning to wag the dog. I still find it amazing how that large Novell organization migrated their everything to Linux and Open Source. But they did. Department for department, they got a milestone plan (thinking in 3-6 month time frames, not 2-3 years as one might expect) and migrated their IT infrastructure to Linux and Open Source. Not just for techies, also for sales, marketing, administration, you name it. Amazing. We've been through times. Times where we had to produce an insane amount of small products of questionable value for the customer each quarter -- just to avoid getting broke again. Those times are over. Thanks to being owned by a company that has a vision (and no longer by investment banks whose sole vision are next quarter's figures).

something like this:

once done with vnc file, you need to reload xinetd with following command:

Of course, Crossover Office from Codeweavers is available to provide a shiny front end to wine to make using it much easier. snip Download Codeweavers Croosover office (trial), it supports quickbooks, and probably Micorgraphix...

The actors: - Fujitsu-Siemens Primergy 470 (Dual P3-800, Mylex Raidcontroller (DAC960PRL) with Hardware RAID5 on three SCSI hdd, currently running with Suse Linux 10.0, file system reiser 3) - OpenSUSE 10.3 DVD 32bit - one happy sysadmin who successfully tested that the installation dvd recognised the raid and didn't scream any warnings up to the point where the installation starts Prologue: The machine is rather old being from the last century, but as it is still reliable and sufficient for the small environment, I would like to keep it. I already decided to skip the installation of Opensuse 10.1 and 10.2 as there were ominous warnings from gparted during the update praparation and the installation crashed mostly during install anyway. So I was very happy, when Opensuse 10.3 didn't raise any fuss like warnings the partitions can not be changed, do you want to use them unchanged? or something like it. Main story: Overall I was rather impressed with the speed and ease of the upgrade. It detected some unmaintained and non-upgradable packages which I expected anyway. Some of the packages were not from the distro or even compiled from source. The actual package installation went without any problem, the sun was shining, it was sunday and everything promised to turn into a great day. That was when the nightmare slowly started. At the end of the installation the system is prepared for the first start of the new OS. Suddenly a warning appeared mkinitrd failed (or something like that). The installation procedure wasn't impressed though, and the countdown for the automatic reboot began. 10..9..8..7..6.. My eyes that were glued to the screen resetted and I hit the stop button. The countdown was stopped, phew. So, what to do now? No combination of keys gave me a shell to intervene. Finally, with a glum premonition of approaching desaster, I allowed the system to reboot, lit a few incense sticks and did a little voodoo dance to invoke the gods of luck. It didn't work, the booting system didn't see any disks, panicked and finally crashed. The nightmare had arrived and had the previously happy sysadmin firmly in his grip. Was all data/configuration lost and had to be installed from backup? I booted once again from the installation dvd, it seemed to recognise the partition, so all data apparently wasn't lost. Then I tried to use the rescue system to repair the boot configuration. The login prompt appeared and I logged in as root. Well, at least I attempted to login. The only reaction of the system was that it replied with a service error. So, no login via rescue system. Then I tried to boot from dvd and run the installed system. That resulted in a nice little crash but no usable shell. At that point I decided to take a timeout, eat something and think about any further steps. Half an hour later I began to investigate in earnest, meaning I grabbed my Knoppix 5.2 dvd to see in what state the partitions currently were. Booting from the Knoppix dvd went without a hitch. It showed all partitions on the raid, and I could mount them without any problem. The worst of the nightmare slowly began to fade. /boot resided on its own partition, and I immediately saw that indeed no initrd had been installed. So I installed 10.3 (minimal instalation) as a VM to get a working initrd. Five minutes later I copied the initrd on my server and rebooted. Lucky, the initrd was accepted, unfortunately it didn't find my raid. Okay, I thought, let's configure the initrd to include the necessary modules. That was when I discovered that the minimal installation did not have vi nor any other editor, not even less. Even a manual execution of mkinitrd with the list of modules to include only gave a list of missing modules errors. I scrapped the minimal installation and installed a standard KDE version instead. 20 minutes later I had a working 10.3 in vmware with all the niceties I was accustomed to. Once again I booted the Knoppix dvd and looked up the exact list of required modules in

The approach has its problems but works well enough... After all the really good stuff you've contributed, this is a real shocker, so maybe I'm not understanding what you're saying. I worked in a facility a few years ago (late '90's) where there were dozens of antique Suns, of the 10MHz Sparc, 128M RAM, 50MB disk variety, and a few late-model, high-power machines. We got a new sysadmin who, within a few days, had us all set up with an nfs-shared central home directory on a large, fast machine. We could log in from anywhere in the facility and have our own complete working environment, with all our personal environment, file structure, and home-based programs. I even had him set up my machine (one of the slowest, smallest, oldest) to work as an X-terminal to one of the largest, most powerful, but little used machines, and the only difference between running my applications on the Ultra and on my klunky little desktop was that my machine had only 256 colors available for display. Doesn't this qualify as dynamically created on the local machine? and on the intermediate machine? Solaris is unix, you're aware? John Perry Sorry, had come across this now that you remind me (I think it was called yellow pages, Suntools or something and was not pure NFS but had a network administrative layer of some sort... ).. I had completely forgotten about it!... must be going senile :-/ .. Did not have have much to with admin side of this... too busy writing dodgy Quintus prolog stuff at time, damn nice development environment for the mid 80s though - -- == I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.

[opensuse] opensuse 10.3 box vs iso versions
I have just installed opensuse 10.3 86_64 using the iso version. I also ordered the box version from Novell which it has not arrived yet. Q: is there any difference between the iso image and the dvd from the box? Q: is it worth to reinstall it when the box version arrives? Q: if there is a difference what repositories I have to add to be the same Q: registering the code with novell what gives me besides the online/phone support Some of the answers may seems obvious but Thxs -=terry(Denver)=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[opensuse] hosted server
I seek to host a server here: http://www.kimsufi.com/ this is a less than €24 ($30) a month hosting with small power HW, but quite large disk. They propose among many the openSUSE 10.2 However I have a question (I ask them also wait for the answer): it seems to be necessary to use they own kernel. How may this rely with security updates through Yast? is it possible to automatically ask yast to don't update kernels, is it also possible with 10.2 to have updates keep the old boot kernel as defaults I could fix later? I ask here because it may be a more general question that it seems and hosted computers at this price have to be more and more frequent thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[opensuse] Creative Zen V Plus
Hi! I need to get my player to work either with banshee or gnomad2. I'm using openSUSE 10.3 x86 with GNOME. I have installed gnomad and connected the device but the only thing happens is banshee to show up and that's it(banshee doesn't see the player). Gnomad says it can't recognize any device connected. Please HELP! Thanks Adam Kovari -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
