Re: [opensuse] Kernel panic exit

Which kernel are you currently using? openSUSE version? A kernel panic is a very rare occurrence if you are using a stock kernel, and standard hardware/drivers. Usually a kernel panic is caused by a hardware failure (which is not compatible with a particular driver) or a bad, corrupted, or faulty driver-- it usually is not the kernel, but sometimes it is. What I would do is to remove (or disable) all of your peripheral hardware like-- usb devices (including, keyboards, mice, modems, flash memory, etc), external communication pluggings, etc. (you might even want to disable stuff in your bios like serial port, par port, infrared, etc) Then, see if the kernel panic goes away... my bet is that it will. Then, reconfigure (and test for a while) each peripheral one by one... until you find the one that is causing the problem. Then-- submit a bug report My sister had a similar problem... she was using a usb modem that went bad... kernel panic was the result of certain modem operations. The solution was to replace the modem. (Who knows what the driver choked on, but the culprit was actually a poorly written driver) Hope this helps. -- Kind regards, M Harris -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yes, that is my result also... that is why I used xev... because it will tell me exactly which keysyms are being sent to KDE and being interpretted by KCalc... this is the update I sent to the tightvnc people: /begin I am using tightvnc 1.2.9 which shipped with openSUSE 10.0. I have several headless application servers serving shared kde desktops across ssh tunnels with the vncviewer also running as the client on openSUSE 10.0. This setup is working great, and I want to thank the team who is making GPL tightvnc possible. I have a minor concern with the way the numeric keypad is handled, and I am wondering whether this has already been addressed, or if I need to open a bug report. I did some searching but did not find what I was looking for. In version 1.2.9 the numeric keypad is not being handled properly when the numlock is on. From my vncviewer client I am accessing my remote kde desktop and running (from within a konsole) the xev tool. This displays the x events (keypresses and keyreleases) plus the associated keysyms. With the numlock off the keypad works as I would expect it to. The 7 key is keysym KP_Home, the 8 key is KP_Up, etc. Each key receives ONE keypress event, and ONE keyrelease event. However, when the numlock is on then the behavior is not expected which causes different kinds of problems depending which app is needing the keypad. With numlock on the 7 key recieves [ in this order ] : keypressshift_L keypressKP_7 keyrelease shift_L keyrelease KP_Home [ this is not correct behavior, even though it does work for some things ] The 8 key press with numlock on gives: keypressshift_L keypressKP_8 keyrelease shift_L keyrelease KP_Up [again, not correct and very strange behavior in some apps] The shift meta keys should not be used at all--- although the technique would work for the most part if the keyreleases were in the correct order. Here is what happens in kcalc --- the 8 key activates the * key [multiplication key] why?-- because the 8 is being interpretted as an 8 with the shift_L key down... *. Using the shift_L technique vncviewer should be sending the keyrelease shift_L *last*. However, even so, it will not work in KCalc because the 8 key will still be interpretted as an * . What should be happening is this: keypressNum_Lock keyrelease Num_lock keypressKP_8 keyrelease KP_8 So, I would like to know is this a bug? If so, has it been fixed in 1.3.x (I have downloaded the tarball but have not installed it as yet)? Is there a work-around in the current version, or is there something I am missing here? /end The tightvnc folks say to install the 1.3.9 version... which I *have* downloaded, but which I have not installed as yet. They tell me that the old version numlock state was the state of the Server PC instead of the Client PC. When the client pushes numlock the numlock comes on at the client but stays off at the server?. Yikes. I am playing with that now... but have not confirmed that that is my problem. I still think its a bug in vncviewer. Different apps give different results depending on whether the keyreleases are valid symbols for the app!

I can provide a point-by-point howto, but the big picture for now is this: First each server machine runs headless. From remote a user can start a vncserver (from their userid home dir) which starts a virtual frame buffer---and starts KDE. [ some of my users start gnome, but that's another story ] Then the user issues a remote background command over an ssh tunnel that starts vncviewer [ running on the server machine ] and then pipes the vncserver back over the X11 ssh session... including password requests etc all compressed and encrypted. This works *very* well for local area nets with adequate speeds, eliminates the need to open a vnc port on the server, and keeps the whole shabang secure. If the desktop needs to be *shared* then the vncserver is started with the option to share. I have used this technique for net-meetings and for collaboration... doesn't work well across the WAN... but for local setups its fine. You can do a similar thing using the vncviewer from the client machine and logging into an open vnc server port on the host... but if you do this its a better idea to change the default server port number to something else otherwise, its not a good idea. Directly logging in to a remote desktop isn't such a good idea... also, its not a real good idea to log directly into an open vnc port... or another way to put this is that it is not a good idea to keep a vnc server port open.

I have been creating my own tunnel and running the vncviewer (serverside) basically piping the X11 protocol back to the client... for so long that I just never really considered doing it any other way... and tightvnc has a *way* better way.

This is *much* faster of course---again, thank you! The last piece I have to snoop out here is the VNC_ENV_CMD environment variable. Using my old scripts some environment is setup (client side, server side) before and after the tunnel is established and then the vncviewer is called. My client side stuff can be done easily enough before I start the viewer with -via , and I think I can modify the VNC_ENV_CMD variable to accomplish the same thing I was doing with a script serverside... and if so, then whalla Mr Loo--- you have improved my connection efficiency and speed--- again, thank you thank you! -- Kind regards, M Harris -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well, you're still bound to the Linux security model. hi Alexey, The security model is not the issue. In fact, security really has nothing to do with the core issue here--- the other respondents are attempting to address the LSB issue which is unfortunately at permanent odds with your idea regarding sbin utils. What is at stake is the Linux Standard Base, and LSB certification compliance. Please reference the following link: http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/Products The products listed above are certified to be in compliance with the open standards ---Linux Standard Base... for instance openSUSE 10.0 is in compliance with the core LSB version 3.0. There are lots of good ways to organize a system... and I could probably think of some myself... but the idea here is to prevent Linux from fragmenting. What differentiates one distribution from another should *not* be its basic organization and functionality. I should be able to drive Fedora just as easily as openSUSE, as Ubuntu. The greater benefit of course that comes from LSB is an open standard development platform. We want developers to write code for Linux... and the only way that really works in practice is to have the core system pretty much an open standard so that developers know what to expect... not to mention users! ---a new app should install and run fine on Fedora, and on openSUSE, and on Ubuntu. LSB is a good thing for everyone over the long haul. -- Kind regards, M Harris -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The ludicrous hyper interpretation of this section of the German penal code (StGB) must necessarily lead to the conclusion that the distribution of entire operating systems and utilities ( not just port scanners like nmap ) are dangerous because they can be used in the commission of a cyber crime. This is just about as silly as the judge who shocked the Woolwich Crown Court in the UK for not knowing what a web-site was. http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2007220614,00.html Clearly technology has presented legal western culture with a serious problem for aging ( judicial and legislative ) dogs who are apparently not able to learn new tricks. Obviously education is needed; however, another thing that the community can do is to re-market certain tools in a positive light... perhaps even repackaging tools like nmap... giving nmap a new name like health-map, and packaging it with network security tools to be used for the expressed purpose of protecting local infrastructures, etc. On the other hand, nmap has been in the community for so long that to outlaw its distribution is very analogous to outlawing the distribution of firearms. If we outlaw the distribution of firearms only criminals will have firearms. If we outlaw the distribution of security tools like nmap, only crackers will have nmap.

Say someone has to see information for accounting reasons of a project but doesn't need to change any data.. This is a common unix | Linux scenario. And with Linux there are many many possible answers to this question depending on whether you want to authorize groups or individuals, and whether you would like to use the added functionality of Access Control Lists. Let's say I want to make one of my directories read-only for everybody in my users group, but inaccessible to everyone else--- and only I can write to the directory: mkdir MyNewDir chmod 0750 MyNewDir Now I'm going to create a file in the directory that is read only for everyone: cd MyNewDir touch MyNewFile chmod 0644 MyNewFile The digits 0644 are octal numbers that break out into three bits each, each bit representing (r)ead (w)rite (e)xecute 0 sticky (don't worry about it just now) 6 110 r w - (owner me) 4 100 r - - (users) 4 100 r - - (others) Directories must have execute permission set on in order to be accessed. Others will not be able to access MyNewDir, even though they have read authority to MyNewFile... because others do not have execute permissions on the directory. Users may access the directory, and they may read MyNewFile, but they may NOT change MyNewFile... they do not have write authority to the file. Permission bits are very basic to all unix installations... including Linux. You will find much detailed info on-line, and in the opensuse docs, that describe the file system, permissions bits, chmod command (also chown, chgrp) as well as the newer ACL access control lists. There are several ways to issue the chmod command... and there is a symbolic way to set the bits besides being good with octal. Hope this gets you started... as you get comfortable... ask a specific question and we'll help you with a more specific answer... this answer is fairly short... but whole books have been written on the subject. -- Kind regards, M Harris -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I understand that much. But that's everyone in 'users' group. I want just one individual person to have read-only permission. Assign the individual to a different group. By default in opensuse every new user is added to the users group. For the one individual--- assign her to a restricted group. The other permission bits will then apply to her... and anyone else *not* in the users group. All of your users can have the users permissions (r w - ) and the other permissions ( r - - ) will apply to her... and everyone else in groups other than users. Another way to be more specific (and more flexible) is to use ACLs. If you open your suse help center and click on the Reference==Administration==Access Control Lists in Linux , you will find some really good into on setting up versatile and flexible authorization schemes. Basically chapter 24 sections 1-5 for the printed manual. I have been playing around with ACLs for a while... but really, must of what I need to get accomplished can be easily handled with the traditional unix permission bits... take a go at it. -- Kind regards, M Harris -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
