[opensuse-factory] call for a full time en sysop
It may be simpler for me to write this because I can't be a candidate :-) I think we should have a full time english-wiki sysop. Full time don't mean he will spend all his time on the wiki, but that the wiki will be his first concern. and sysop mean he will have to make strategic changes, organisation ones, not than he should have to write the wiki himself, of course. http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Welcome_to_openSUSE.orgaction=history shows that several people share the front page update. this is probably not the better way for consistency and we know they have also very sharp work do do on the distribution itself. I don't care if the sysop is Novell or voluntary, but I would like to know his name. I think also than it's his responsability, aftyer all kinds of discussions, to make the necessary changes. specially on the blocked pages, he is the only who can do it. we are simply not enough, here, to speak of democracy or votes. We don't represent anybody than ourselves. of course, Novell can (must) keep the css control. the main point is than we need a referee :-). On my concern, it's better to have a consistent layout, even if I don't like it (and why should I don't like it :-), than as many layouts as pages... jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[opensuse-factory] Strange behaviour of installation source
I just added a normal, selfmade YaST installtion source to 10.1, using the Add-on-Produkt module. There was one selection on the media. If I choose selections in YaST, the selection is not displayed does YaST only display signed selections? If I switch the view to installation sources, I can choose packages for installtion and this also seems to work. But I can not install newer versions of packages, which are already installed (tried with kaffeine 0.8.1) any idea, what's the reason for this? -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Marcel Hilzinger Linux New Media AG Süskindstr. 4 D-81929 München Tel: +49 (89) 99 34 11 0 Fax: +49 (89) 99 34 11 99 - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[opensuse-factory] FreeNX seems to have problems with some passwords
Hello, Did anyone try the FreeNX Server that's on OpenSuSE RC3? When you try to use a password that starts with a blank character, login with that user fails. If you use any other type of password it seems to work, just blank at the beginning is not working. If anybody can reproduce this, then i'll assume this is a bug in nxserver and not in my nxclient installation.

Re: [opensuse-factory] Re: makeSUSEdvd error
I have identified and fixed the problem.
The key needs to be added to the initial ramdisk
of the CDD/DVD, so some extra magic is necessary.
I have attached the patch to make it work,
apply with

Here lies already part of the solution. My key would be 08AD8FC5 and not

BOO!. ¹
Hmm. This needs root access I am afraid. Is this a problem?
(The two cpios need it, the rest likely does not.)
It should not be a problem, as it needs root already for the iso mounting.
I will look to move it more to the beginning, so that on slower machines
there is no need to enter the rootpassword a second time due to timeout.
So the problem was that the key needed 0x in front of the key.
http://houghi.org/script/makeSUSEdvd is what I use now. I will do some
more testing and see what happens. It looks promising, however.
¹ Most likely because I only use CD1 and not 1-3.

This is only because you did not use all CDs.
Adding the LOCAL_KEY manually works for me.
Hougi: Perhaps it's best to ask the user for the key, then eventually check,
if the given key is in gpg --list-secret-keys to avoid typos

[opensuse-factory] sudo and makeSUSEdvd [Was: makeSUSEdvd error]

It also solved the issue of the need of running with sudo for the mounting of the iso's. That can just stay in. :-) Let me sidestep a bit and mention an issue I noticed. When I first tried makeSUSEdvd I couldn't use it as user because it expects sudo to be configured in such a way to require the root password to run. This is not typical, and IMO, insecure. Then I looked at the default '/etc/sudoers' file of 10.1. It says: # In the default (unconfigured) configuration, sudo asks for the root password. # This allows use of an ordinary user account for administration of a freshly # installed system. When configuring sudo, delete the two # following lines: Defaults targetpw# ask for the password of the target user i.e. root ALL ALL=(ALL) ALL # WARNING! Only use this together with 'Defaults targetpw'! That needed line for 'makeSUSEdvd' is the default during the installation and configuration phase of a system; but once in production, those two lines are normally removed - meaning that sudoers have to use their own passwords and run only specified commands, not any random command they may want. The consequence is that on a production machine, 'makeSUSEdvd' can not run using sudo. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFEX6VRtTMYHG2NR9URAi7dAJ0SCFkVHMYfjmR9cWzrI4M891YZTQCdHfVt d7HFfBgFUzmqe8BAffT7pXA= =D+oN -END PGP SIGNATURE- - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That would need some rewriting, because the iso and other files must be owned by a user, I think. houghi -- Nutze die Zeit.

Re: [opensuse-factory] sudo and makeSUSEdvd [Was: makeSUSEdvd error]
It mounts each iso file to a specific directory. Actually, in theory, the file-roller program can extract files from an iso image, so if you can figure out the utterly undocumented command line options for using it in non-gui mode you might be able to avoid needing to be root (for the mounts, anyway). Of course, the one time I tired to use it, strace told me it was hung in a futex system call, so I don't know how much luck you might having getting it to actually extract the files. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
