[opensuse-factory] Two separate bug numbers, same problem?

2007-12-09 Thread Vahis
In 10.3 I have this message repeatedly:

PAM audit_log_acct_message() failed: Operation not permitted

It seems to be bug #334559

I found another one in bugzilla , bug #331683

I don't have this one because I don't have that application on that machine.

The first one is said to be assigned and the second one new

They both obviously are about PAM

I don't know if posting my findings here help in any way, though...

[opensuse-factory] Not working install-options in right-click service menu konqueror confusing.

2007-12-09 Thread M9.
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

Now that the buildservice has got their 1-Click install, things are changed.
Earlier i noticed that the service entries in the right-click menu in
konqueror,did/do not run the desired option.
But they are still there, why is that than?

Personaly i find these options very comfortable, if they work.
Finding a downloaded rpm with the mouse is easier than in cli (you have
to know the exact name)
Have found it imediate action can be taken: Right click actions: install
with: whatever pkgmngr you want: smart. zypper, Yast2.
iac yast does not use the pointed rpm, but goes online to get one that
is allready installed, and installs it again.
I think this is kind of stupid behaviour.
If it looks, it must see that the version it wants to install, allready
is installed, and say that.
But the most stupid i find that it cannot install the rpm i pointed.

Because the konqueror menus are used very frequent, it is obvious that
options presented there should work, otherwise they should be removed.

These things disturb me quite a while now, because it is realy time
robbing to follow these options to get nowhere.
Also my patience is tested very seriously that way.

What i tell here is objective experience, as a normal user experiences,
if he/she wants to something as installing a package to replace one that
does not work...

Maybe a thing to consider sometime.. ;-)

Adding your findings in bugzilla reports and/or voting for bug can help to 
have that fixed earlier.

Seems smart *can* do so 

 smart channel --help-type rpm-dir
Type: rpm-dir - RPM Directory

Local directory with RPM packages.

Fields:
  alias (*) - Unique identification for the channel.
  type (*)  - Channel type
  name  - Channel name
  manual- If set to a true value, the given channel will only be
  updated when manually selected.
  disabled  - If set to a true value, the given channel won't be used.
  removable - If set to a true value, the given channel will be
  considered as being available in a removable media
  (cdrom, etc).
  priority  - Default priority assigned to all packages available in
  this channel (0 if not set). If the exact same package
  is available in more than one channel, the highest
  priority is used.
  path (*)  - Path of directory containing RPM packages.
  recursive - Search for files recursively.

(*) These fields are necessary for this type.

Has something to do with some kind of policy i think, if i want to
install an rpm, any rpm, from my homedir, it can not be found!

I'm a bit late with answer. It was written an hour ago, before lunch, but it

/home/RPM/
can be added, but it has to contain metadata about packages. 
The way I use is to run program 'createrepo' in that directory which will 
create subdirectory 'repodata' and than add /home/RPM/ to package sources. 

With this procedure YaST etc, will complain that packages are not signed, but 
you can tell to use them anyway. 

Second deficiency of this method is that you have to run 'createrepo' on every 
change otherwise YaST or 'zypper refresh' will not find any changes you made, 
ie. will not find new packages or complain about missing packages.

 There is the list of all Enhancement requests ever made for YaST2. 
 I remember that adding local repos without hassle to use createrepo manually 
 was one discussed quite some time ago, but it seems to be forgotten. The bad 
 is that it was an option before, and it worked with no problems. 
 

Hmm, i see your point.

How to specify such a directory than?
I do not mind to move the rpm's to another directory, or change the

You missed the . (ie. current directory) in the original suggestion?


cd /home/dir
createrepo .


But I STILL dont understand why you can't add folder with some RPM's in as  
a 'plain' RPM directory (rather than RPM meta-data one)? I do it that way  
in both yast software and smart on 10.3. Though I'm not sure if yast  
handles sub-directories whereas I believe smart does.

Back in the days when I supported mini-computers, everything was TTL
logic, with ECL used in some critical areas.  The CPU was two 15 inch
square boards!  A 200 MB disk pack drive was the size of a washing
machine and required 3 phase power.  Some of the systems I worked on
were water cooled.  Back in those days, I worked down to the microcode
level, that is the instruction set within the CPU, that enabled it to
run the instruction set the applications would use.



And some CPUs from IBM even had the capability of CHANGING
instruction sets between processes.  Like an IBM 370 could
simulate several single-user IBM 360's and single-user IBM
704's by just switching microcode with each context switch.

IBM's software from the era is nothing to rave about, but
their hardware has always been top notch.



The Data General Eclipse line had a feature called Writable Control
Store, which could be used to add custom instructions to the CPU.  The
VAX 11/780 had it's microcode loaded from floppy at boot, but I don't
recall if it was changeable in the same manner as the Eclipse WCS.



I remember coming across the Writable Control Store
when reading something, and the first thing that came
to my mind was, Boy would that create utter chaos in
even a multi-programming environment, let along a
multi-user  timesharing environment.

Yep.  There was an LSI-11 (microprocessor version of PDP-11) hidden in
the cabinet, equipped with one or two 8, hard sectored drives.  It was
also used to connect the console terminal.  As I recall, the command to
use it as the VAX console was STP and Ctl-Z(?) to return to the LSI-11
console.  Back in it's day, the VAX was considered a super mini, a
real hot system.  But it only had the CPU power of a 386!'


The old VAX had a beautiful assembly language with 13 different
addressing modes (4 numerically different addressing modes were
all used for a 6-bit immediate data addressing mode)...which,
when paired with the brilliance of making the program counter
and stack pointer general registers (and thus specifiable as
the register to reference in all of those addressing modes) had
a grand total of something like 20 effective addressing modes.

GREAT design if you were writing assembly code.  Unfortunately,
all of those crazy addressing modes (like doubly-indirect or
something like that) made for a real mess whenever a page
fault occurs.  Tthe CPU has to unwind the whole partially-
complete instruction, and then do an interrupt to the VM's
swapping routine, return from the swapper routine, and then
restart the instruction...  And if the instruction was
something like insert a record into a doubly-linked list,
or performing some sort of string manipulation (some of
which are more complicated than what's in C's strings library),
well, then... yeahit's amazing the VAX guys ever got
the design to function right.

Initially, i thought RISC was a crazy idea, compared to
the ultra-CISC VAX-11 instruction set...but then when I
read about the issues with page faults... I was almost
immediately convinced that yes indeed, the RISC guys did
have a very, very important point, and that the Clipper
chip and others weren't so crazy after all.



BTW, that's where I first came across the Adventure game.  :-)

That's very cool.  What does the first column represent?  I'm assuming

Some internal time representation, I think seconds from certain date 
which I think is called unix time, yes.


Unix Time starts with t=0 seconds at
00:00, between 31 Dec 1969 and 01 Jan 1970,
which is also knows as the epoch.

System time is an unsigned 32-bit number representing
the number of seconds since the epoch.

32-bit time will run out sometime in 2038.
This gives us 31 years to convert to 64-bit time.

I used Microsoft Office for years, using the printer I mention in my

Many scripts don't consider them and thus fail to quote variables that

I find that dd for bare metal backups is dependable.  Rsnapshot is fast
and convenient for incremental backups and restores.  There are other
solutions that work.


The downside of dd is that you must unmount all filesystems on the
disk to be backed up before doing the copy.  Since the dd session
will take time to complete, if the filesystem is mounted and active,
the time between the start and the end of the dd run, changes would have
occurred and you'd end up with an inconsistent filesystem.  This is
because the superblock and inode table, etc., would become out of date
and no longer fully reflect the state of the data blocks that gets
eventually backed up.  Depending on the amount of activity on the
filesystem, the backup may become corrupt enough to be unusable.
Also, on mission-critical systems, unmounting live filesystems for
backup purposes may not be a feasible option.


One theoretically possible method would be, if you have a raid 1 system, 
to stop one side, then clone the stopped side to another disk, then 
reactivate the stopped side.


The copy would be consistent, but of a mounted filesystems: it would have to 
be fscked before use, after restore.


Then, somebody could do an utility to dd an active partition or disk, 
recording somewhere what changes were done while the process took place to 
take them into account on a second pass, faster, and then a third, etc, 
till the copy would be fully consistent.


Another theoretical possibility would be the contrary: the system would 
freeze the source partition sourcing the dd (call it dump), recording 
somewhere else the changes done by other programs; ie, the changes would 
not be written on the intended partition, but on another recent changes 
partition. When the dump was complete, the partition would be reactivated 
the recent changes and be applied again.


Scary, eh? I have seen some thing similar, though...


Then, if you are using xfs, these utilities can be used, without 
umounting:


xfs_freeze -f
xfs_copy
xfs_freeze -u

xfsdump is missing, but mentioned.

A file system is divided into blocks. When you create a 1 byte file, you will 
use up one entire block. Essentially you lose the remaining bits (unless you 
have a file system that can put multiple files into one block, like reiserfs)

In ext3, the default block size is 4k, so when you create a one byte file, you 
lose 4095 bytes,

My guess is that this is what has happened to your 3GB. If you have a high 
number of files that don't fill up their blocks, say 3 million files that 
each lose 1k each, that's 3GB gone

One more thing that I forgot: in ext3, a certain percentage is reserved for

I suggest you get your history right.  CP/M was developed by Gary

successful operating system for the 8080  Z80 CPU's and also ported to
others.  Also, it was not a toy distributed freely to hobbyists.  It was
sold as a commercial product and many businesses used it.  There was a
lot of commercial software written for CP/M.  PC  MS-DOS came about as
a result of a company called Seattle Computer Products, which developed
Q-DOS as a test system for their hardware, while waiting for CP/M-86 to
be available.  When IBM was developing the PC, they looked for an
operating system.  They initially had three, CP/M-86, something called
P-code and DOS.  Bill Gates sold IBM DOS, before he even owned it.  He
then went to SCP to buy it, repackaged it with some minor changes and
called it DOS 1.  IBM called their version PC-DOS and the version
Microsoft sold to others was called MS-DOS.  Gary Killdal was able to

  home filesystem has 56GB of which i used 53GB, BUT the free space
  states 41MB. So, where are the other 3GB?.
 
  Already tried with a du -hs /home/ and i still get 53GB of usage.
  Tried also to unmount and run fsck, but apparently all is good.
 
  Any thoughts?

 One more thing that I forgot: in ext3, a certain percentage is reserved for
 administrative use. By default this is 5%, and that is 2.8GB out of 56, which
 would account for a lot of the difference.

Totally forgot about it!, too much time with reiserfs and zfs :p

Thanks a lot

It should work.  Just make sure of the setting with sax2 when you set it
up and limit it to 4x if needed.

 Ext3 reserves 5% of the available disk space for root. Thereby, it is
 ensured that root can log in even if a user filled the whole disk.
 However, this does not make sense on your seperate home partition since
 root does not use it as its home:

Thanks, already fixed it.

 Nonetheless, fillung up a partition above ~85% is considered harmful to
 performance due to fragmentation!

Well, it's my laptop (not high end server) and would like to use every
GB I paid for :p

This is true if to copy partition, but dd can copy entire disks as well. No 
pre-partitioning required in that case.

I recently backed up an entire disk with three partitions (including one 
encrypted)  to a new disk (same model) without partitioning.  Something along 
the lines of 

dd if=/dev/drive_to_copy of=/dev/backup_drive  bs=8M

Works fine.

 Holding all of about 50k or so?

 I remember seeing some of those in an office supply store

IIRC, the ones in the VAX were about 128K, though some systems, with
double sided, double density disks could do half a meg, though I recall
some mention of 1 MB on a single 8 floppy.

 This gives us 31 years to convert to 64-bit time.
 

 Actually it's a signed long, which means 2147483647 seconds, or just over 68 
 years. An unsigned value would be about twice that

 But since it's typedef:ed to long, all we have to do is stop buying 32 bit

 That's very cool.  What does the first column represent?  I'm assuming
 it is install time based on unix time?

 Some internal time representation, I think seconds from certain date
 which I think is called unix time, yes.

 Unix Time starts with t=0 seconds at
 00:00, between 31 Dec 1969 and 01 Jan 1970,
 which is also knows as the epoch.

 System time is an unsigned 32-bit number representing
 the number of seconds since the epoch.

 32-bit time will run out sometime in 2038.

Oh no!!!  What happens when we run out of time???  Will the universe

 Yep.  There was an LSI-11 (microprocessor version of PDP-11) hidden in
 the cabinet, equipped with one or two 8, hard sectored drives.  It was
 also used to connect the console terminal.  As I recall, the command to
 use it as the VAX console was STP and Ctl-Z(?) to return to the
 LSI-11
 console.  Back in it's day, the VAX was considered a super mini, a
 real hot system.  But it only had the CPU power of a 386!

 BTW, that's where I first came across the Adventure game.  :-

 Several years ago I was given an Xerox floppy drive with a box of 8
 floppies. Many commercial programs. Unfortunately I didn't get the
 computer that went with them. The lady that owned it had already given
 that to a school for challenged children to hammer on. *[:o(

 Yes, a hold-over of backwards compatibility with
 that toy operating system, CP/M.

 [And yes, CP/M WAS a toy.  It was written by one
 guy in his basement in the mid-1970's to use on
 his Altair (*?) Intel 8080 machine, which he
 distributed freely to hobbyists.  Then it was given
 commercial legitimacy first by Radio Shack (TRS-80),
 and then MS (Gates bought a slightly extended
 commercial version and re-branded it PC-DOS].


Forgot to mention.  Bill Gates developed a BASIC interpreter for the
MITS Altair 8800, while a student at Harvard.  He used the Harvard
computers for this, despite a ban on developing commercial software on
those systems.  There is some mention that he also cheated Ed Roberts,
the founder of MITS and creator of the Altair.  The Altair later had a
disk operating system that was not CP/M, though many of them were used
with it.

[opensuse] Gnome Document Folder

2007-12-09 Thread Donald D Henson
(OpenSuSE 10.3, Gnome 2.20.0, Nautilus 2.20.0)

Does anyone know why Gnome, or Nautilus, insists on creating a
'Documents' folder in my user 'home' folder? Better, does anyone know
how to kill it? The problem, admittedly minor, is that I want a
'Documents' folder on my Desktop. If I move the Gnome-created Documents
folder, the next time I login it's back plus I now have two Documents
folders. If I just delete it, the next time I log in, it's back. The FPN
for the problem folder is:

/home/dhenson/Documents

The FPN for the one I want is:

/home/dhenson/Desktop/Documents

One workaround is to create a symlink but I shouldn't have to do that.
Any info will be appreciated.

The /etc/skel drives the creation of the Documents folder, not
GNOME.  /etc/skel is a template used for creating user accounts with the
command `useradd -m username`.   Change your preferences there.

 Huh? The problem is not what directory I chose to use as a mount point
 but instead the mount point not showing the amount of space used with
 du.

My thought was that funky stuff sometimes happens when you use 
reserved

case this was another example of it happening.
Sorry! I guess I should share my experiences with myself instead.

Not really. all drivers/apps for Windows only support ext3 because the
difference is mostly the journal. AFAIK, no driver/app supports the ext3
journal, so in reality, they only support ext2.

Oh come on Fred! It's far less serious then you make it to be.

You have to restart the system with power to the external hard drive and
the ESATA port connected for it to work.

No! You just need to initiate a rescan which, AFAIK, you can do without
a reboot.

Once you disconnect the drive, you'll get a smart error telling you that
the drive is about to fail..annoying but that's about it.

Yes, because you also have to initiate a bus rescan for the system to

Certainly.

But I don't know perl, and even less spamassassin code.




try adding -L for a time to see if network lookups are timing out.


To where do I add that? :-O



Could be dns or ipv6 problem???


I have absolutely no idea...



Another clue is that spamassassin is slower since some days ago, and uses 
much less CPU. It appears to stop waiting for some thing. Couldbe related 
to the above code.

Auto rescan is supposed to happen now for many drivers.

 To check your hardware's support, see
http://linux-ata.org/driver-status.html#matrix  (this is actually 6-9
months old)

And to manually rescan:

echo - - -  /sys/class/scsi_host/hostX/scan

Remember, sata drives are handled by the scsi subystem, so you're
actually invoking a scsi rescan.

Re: [opensuse] Gnome Document Folder

2007-12-09 Thread Adam Tauno Williams
 (OpenSuSE 10.3, Gnome 2.20.0, Nautilus 2.20.0)
 Does anyone know why Gnome, or Nautilus, insists on creating a
 'Documents' folder in my user 'home' folder? Better, does anyone know
 how to kill it? The problem, admittedly minor, is that I want a
 'Documents' folder on my Desktop. If I move the Gnome-created Documents
 folder, the next time I login it's back plus I now have two Documents
 folders. If I just delete it, the next time I log in, it's back. The FPN
 for the problem folder is:

This is a GNOME default;  you can adjust these settings via gconf.

You can change your Desktop to be your home directory (aka ~) by
setting /apps/nautilus/preferences/desktop_is_home_dir  via -

gconftool-2 -s /apps/nautilus/preferences/desktop_is_home_dir true -t
bool

[above is all on one line]

Then you Documents folder will be on your Desktop, as will all your
other folders.

GConf in general is documented here -
http://www.gnome.org/learn/admin-guide/latest/gconf-0.html
There is an *ENORMOUS* amount of power and flexibility tucked away in
GConf. 

Many nautilus options are documented here -
http://www.gnome.org/~bmsmith/gconf-docs/C/nautilus.html

But the better way would be just to create a link to Documents from the
Desktop folder - which you can do in nautilus itself.  Just right click
on documents, make link, drag the link to the Desktop and rename to
Documents.  That way you keep the expected structure,   smoothly
integrated applications have to be able to make some assumptions and
lots of applications and utilities (especially non-GNOME apps) litter in
the home directory - which is why it is good for documents and desktop
to be elsewhere.  Especially older UNIXish stuff assumes it can [or
should] just do whatever it wants in ~.

Beyond GConf, if you want to customize your desktop in a kosher way, I'd
look into Devil's Pie.

http://burtonini.com/blog/computers/devilspie

A good example of that is this article
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-create-a-transparent-terminal-session-as-your-desktop-background.html

 After setting the resolution in sax2, when you get the screen with
 'test'  and 'save', don't test, just save. Then logout and log back in
 and see if it has worked. The current ATI driver is

 First of all, please do not top-post.  Only
 bottom-post like we are
 doing here.
 
 Second of all, Aaron asked a very legitimate
 question, which is Why do
 you want an apple?  Instead of looking to pick a
 fight, how about
 answering the question.  You may have a very
 legitimate answer, but how
 are we supposed to know?  We are not mind-readers
 here.
 
 And I totally agree with Aaron's statement that
 hiding Linux is a
 disservice to Linux.  We all work hard as a
 community to promote and
 solidify Linux and when someone comes along that
 wants to use Linux but
 hide it, is well... an insult.
 
 However, again, you may have a VERY legitimate
 reason for doing it that
 way.  How about just telling us what and why you are
 attempting to do
 the things you are doing?
 
 Thanks.

Ok :) I got it.I just wanted the top bar and the other
elements of the theme to look like a Mac desktop.I am
really sorry if that insults the community of
linux!But if I wanted a Mac I would buy a new i-Mac.
All I wanted is to have a new theme exactly as a Mac.I
agree with that argument.I didn't think that way.And I
believe you must not think that way.In KDE-looks I
think there are more themes!And I did uninstalled it
because it didn't worked so well.It's just a theme not
an operating system!For me counts what operating
system you use...

[opensuse] why not ship kernel with usb_suspend enabled?

2007-12-09 Thread vasilis christaras
HI,
I was wondering why the kernel is not shipped with usb_suspend enabled and 
then just leave to each user to enable it passing the usbcore.autosuspend on 
boot time?
It would help me and others having to recompile every new kernel update.

Cheers,
Vasilis

I suggest you to search the bugzilla to see if others have made a
similar enhancement request.  If so, add your vote to it.  Otherwise, if
none exists, create a new bug enhancement request.  Then let everyone in
this list know about it so others can vote for it as well.

Novell wants to hear about these things and the best way to hear about
it is through a bug report.  :-)
