to avoid the crash you need to create a writable log file called
/var/log/dictd

Unfortunately the deamnon later fails to start because it wants confi
files in /usr/etc.. :(

also, it should not segfault when opening the file..

This happends because some yast modules have issues, this has been

However in the package manager module is expected to happend.

openSUSE security patches are available for two years...what you pay for
the boxed set is the media, installation support and printed manuals...
SLE  is fully supported by Novell Technical services (NTS) and both
security fixes and service packs are issued  for 7 years.

In short, openSUSE is intented for end-users and SLE for
bussiness/mission critical stuff.

care to explain why it is wrong for you ? looks perfectly correct, it is
just installing openmotif22-libs update.. if the to-be-installed rpm
patch descritpion says it fixes a 64 bit bug does not mean you are
getting a 64 bit rpm installed !! if, after the installation the
following command:

rpm -q --queryformat=%{arch} openmotif22-libs

returns "x86_64" on a **32 bit** system (extremely unlikely to happen
really) then there is a blocker bug that should be reported, otherwise
it is the expected, correct behaviour.

If the issue is considered Critical/Blocker or security problem it will

Yes, you are using the wrong repositories for PHP and then this error is

you should use

This is the most infamous and dangerous PHP feature and should not be
used, it is disabled by default since PHP 4.2.0  and nowdays does not

Probably one of the dozens of KDE apps you are using is trying to get a

Use a sniffer if you want to see what is contained in the HTTP request.

you are seriuolsy confused, this is the expected behaviuor.

ENCRYPT calls crypt() system call

PASSWORD is mysql specific way to encrypt password suitable for
encrypting MySQL passwords for storage in the "Password" column of the
user grant table. ( do not use this in your app)

MD5 quite obviuoly uses MD5


if you are coming from older mysql versions, and you used PASSWORD() to
"encrypt" your passwords in newver mysql versions you must use
OLD_PASSWORD() to obtain the same old result. this function is
deprecated and I suggets you convert your passwords (with the password
reminder form) ASAP because it may go away at anytime soon.

james:

In order to avoid breaking stuff you should do the following.

add this repositories:


http://software.opensuse.org/download/Apache/SUSE_Linux_10.0/

http://software.opensuse.org/download/server:/php/server_apache_SuSE_Linux_10.0/

the remove your old PHP installation **completely** ( in case you are
using the version included in 10.0 of course)


then reinstall apache2-mod_php5 apache2-prefork, the needed PHP
modules... ( you may need to upgrade more stuff depending what other
software in your system uses libapr* )

and no, you will not break virtual host configuration as it is backward
compatible.

If someone else finds a mailing list server that do this, do not use it :-)

 this would be:

You are tying to solve a non-technical problem with encryption and your

the part that smells fishy enough to discard your idea) that I suggest
you either talk to your lawyer about privacy and confidentility rules of
your business and/or think your requirements better, what you are trying

remove all all PHP5 packages (including mod_php !! ) and install the

Still might not work. as PHP does not want to build against
server:database_10.1 this is the error now.

Patrick : you need mysql from the server:database repository and PHP
from **only** this repo

if RPMs are not there that means it is broken and you need to wait for

if so, it may not work :(

there are multiple providers of libmysqlclient.so.15 in server:database
and PHP is NOT building against it because the buildservice aborts on
multiple choices... :(


have choice for libmysqlclient.so.15 needed by mysql-client:
mysql-beta-shared libmysqlclient15, have choice for
libmysqlclient.so.15(libmysqlclient_15) needed by mysql-client:
mysql-beta-shared libmysqlclient15

for this to work the user should:

1. install mysql from the server:database repo
2. install php5 from the server:php repository target
server_database_SUSE_Linux_10.1[1] which does not build because the
error above :-(

Please, stop flooding bugzilla with this kind of stuff.. this is a

this is no problem to properly compiled software, even more when
software has source code available.

Third party binaries are not an openSUSE problem.

the best way is you use the packages from the server:php repository..



addd this repository to yast

http://ftp-1.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/server:/php/SUSE_Linux_10.0


in the console, as root remove all php5 packages (rpm -e `rpm -qa | grep
  php5`)

then open yast and install apache2-mod_php5 package plus  php5-ctype
php5-dom php5-iconv php5-mbstring php5-gd and if you use mysql.. php5-mysql.

ps: next time upgrade the complete distribution as 10.0 is going out of
support in Oct 2007 or so..

security is a complex topic, there is no magic pill.

You can be protected in several ways.

1. first and more importantly ,keep the Web applications you use up to date.
2. remember to remove code that you dont currenlty use.

3. install php5-suhosin available from the server:php repo. this
extension will efectivalle stop several attacks against poorly written

4. do not allow apache access to outside your network.

but didnt get it to work at all.

If you want to find the reason and you know about PHP, look at the

First I advise you against wordpress, try other weblog systems as
Serendipity, Habari, b2evolution, LifeType or maybe CMS a like Drupal,
FluxCMS..also you can look some non-php based alternatives like mephisto.

To setup PHP correctly you just need to install apache2-mod_php5 and
some PHP modules,in case they ar not automatically pulled by yast,
should be php-ctype php-dom php-iconv php-tokenizer
php-suhosin php-mbstring php-gd and if you want mysql support, php-mysql.

So the first DVD ( as it is now) contains everything to get it up and
running and will help you to create either your own local network mirror
or a custom DVD ( google for KIWI and RTFM )

So if debian does this stupidity means we also should make such

Im sorry, but after reading all your argumentation, your idea only looks
 like a nice way to waste resources and will make SUSE developers to

of course they dont , that's because the sysadmin should not be **that**
silly and will install the OS via the network instead of using this
non-sense proposal of having yet another DVD, double bandwidth costs,
mirror admins annoyed either retiring one ISO of the mirrors or pushing
more hardware and bandwidth for it.

The proponents of this idea clearly dont have a clue what having yet
another DVD in the official media means. this is not your home network,
it is the second most popular linux distro out there, is not that easy
to scale at this proportions. please use your brain before proposing
such ideas.

The way to understand it clearly is :

1. open the novell website in one tab, and the MS site in other
2. read **literally** what the "agreement" says in both sides, leaving
conspirance/paranoictheories out of your mind.
3. after that, get your own opinion based on the written facts ( all the

I agree that Novell should improve his communication abilities with the
outside world, and specially with it's own "community".

Also agree they should not paid for advertisment in a site that is
clearly ignoring us. (even before novell/MS deal) and publishing crap
that helps to promote FUD about their own products.

The articles about this matter are absolutely bullshit and have no
relation with reality.

All mayor distributions compiles freetype2 without the offending
"subpixel antialiasing" MS patented code, this is nothing new or
exclusive to openSUSE.

The persons who wrote this kind of crap in slashdot or similar sites has
no clue whatosever about the topic and they think the Novell/MS deal
means we can start making openSUSE a legal minefield.

let make it more clear...

1. MS did **not** (get this into your head once for all damn it !!)
granted a patent license to Novell, but protection to **novell 's
customers** ( gee.. is **that** hard to understand ?? I wonder..)

2. openSUSE as always (even more now) should be clear of legal problems,
this articles are based in the misconception (f.e comments of trolls
like Bruce Perens et all) that the novell/MS deal permit us to do
whatever we want with the "supposed" "IP" of MS.

3. software patents are bad, but they exists, that's the awful truth :-(
and we should deal with that in any or other way in the same way the
rest of the linux universe does.

4. unfortunately,novell has marked the bug report as Novell-Only, this
is of course not "open" discussion in anyway, but may be better than a
bug report filled with a whole bunch of non-sensical comments or assertions.

argh, the level of stupidity and ignorance from both writers and readers
that believes on this articles is becoming very annoying **sigh**.

Zypper helps you to escape from the Zenworks problem, it is alternative
replacement for rug.

There is nothing wrong with rug itself (I think rug is a fine piece of
software) but it has one major flaw, it uses the ZMD daemon . The zmd
deamon is (in short) an unnecesary layer of complexity that causes more
harm than good.

Arghh.this has been discussed many, many times (it is becoming annoying)
and the issue is mostly settled down in 10.3 where Zenworks is no longer
in the default installation.

Nowdays, instead of discussing about the problems of zenworks, we should
 spend our time more productively testing new libzypp and zypper versions.

Ahh.. and "the plot against unnoficial packages" is just your
imagination, there is no such thing in the reality.. what did you smoke
to imaginate that ?? (just curious :-P )

About your comments of the lack of alternatives ... how this differs
with other distributions ?

1. debian : you need to use APT, that is the supported package manager.
2. Fedora/redhat : YUM, any other thing is unnoficial
3. Ubuntu: APT and GUIs using it.

So, with openSUSE, the supported way is zypp "based" tools,currenlty
Yast PM GUI, or zypper in the command line. you still can use YUM or
smart but that is not the official way.

I assume you :

1. if it is a web client,you have apache installed, you upgraded apache

2. you upgraded subversion , subversion-server and all it's
 dependencies correctly.

SUSE 9.3 is soon to be abandoned (apr 30 2007) .

you dont really want to run 9.3 as well as you dont really want to
compile subversion from source ( asking where apxs is found is clear
symptom you dont ;P )

Good news:

newer Subversion is available in the buildservice for 9.3.

Bad news:

It does not compile with apr shipped with 9.3 anymore (too old). so you
will need to upgrade apr as well ( and probably apache, PHP and whaetevr
else you are using..so you might end upgrading more than you want ;P )


if you want to do this:

add the following sources to your package manager


http://ftp-1.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/Apache/SUSE_Linux_9.3

http://ftp-1.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/Subversion/Apache_SuSE_Linux_9.3/

and then upgrade subversion. (note that f.e mod_php will not work
anymore and you will need a php upgrade too in that case)


Cya.

Yes it is broken, known problem, the current kernel has

however this breaks not only USBView but also Vmware and other
