[opensuse] ssh can not use dns anymore
Hi, a very weird problem with ssh and dns... Suddenly since Sunday evening my (default) desktop system does not resolve system names (dns) when using ssh. E.g. # ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] results in (by heart): system name can not be resolved # ping domain.tld results in an ip address X # ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] this just works When I use: # ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] on another desktop system it just works. My default desktop system and this other desktop system use the same /home as the latter is a nfs exported file system. Both are suse-10.2 AFAICS nothing has changed on my default desktop system, no new rpms and the config files in /etc/did not change.

Kolab is build to be a groupware solution, so the web application should support calendaring, todo, free/busy and the like as well. As soon as the connection with horde is done (expected in some months), a very nice groupware web interface is than available. This supports everything from email, calendaring, tasks, up to an interface for mobile devices. A very complete and compelling setup if you ask me.

I downloaded Host.dll from the net and saved it into /usr/lib/wine. After executing the application with wine, wine still complains that it cannot find it. After moving the libs to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32 the application can be launched. There still seems to be a problem with the application, might that because the dll's are not correctly recognized/initialized by wine?

[opensuse] Apache running perl in userdir, how?
Hi, I try to get a perl based webapplication running on my opensuse-10.2-i586 installation. It's a bit challenging, so to say The webapplication is ftree (http://www.cs.bme.hu/~bodon/en/ftree2/). In the end I want that I can run this as a regular user in /home/*/public_html/ftree/ (with * being any regular user login). Using yast I have now been able (again) to make /home/*/public_html working again, as this seems only possible via a virtual host 9quite confusing, to say the least). But it does not allow perl scripts to be run (yet). Therefor I changed to /srv/www/cgi-bin, as I know that perl is allowed to be run from there. And indeed ftree can be run from there. Actually ftree is installed in /srv/www/cgi-bin/cgi/ftree.cgi The ftree.cgi script refers to pictures with ../graphics/file, but these are not found. While the files are there (.e.g): /srv/www/cgi-bin/graphics/hblank.gif Why does ftree.cgi does not see those pictures? Is it because /etc/apache2/conf.d/mod_perl.conf specifies: ScriptAlias /cgi-perl/ /srv/www/cgi-bin/ ? Anyway, is someone able to provide me hint how to get perl working in /home/*/public_html. Being with or without yast? Hmm, there are some funny things going on in this apache area. I can't read back the settings with yast for the vhost?

This would be a good start. It won't be in a central place, unfortunately. In my phrase above, I referred to the projects that are build on the buildserver. I mean if the packages are allowed to be build on the buildserver, they are allowed to be distributed by by opensuse. Or are these 2 different animals? If all sofrtware build on the buildserver is allowed to be distributed by novell/opensuse, than it is also possible to create smart channel files/rpms for each of the projects hosted on the buildserver. Once an rpm is created it can be stored/movedto a common directory on the buildserver. It could be done for repositories that don't contain stuff like mad or lame (which discards my repository and Packman, at the very least), like latest mozilla.org packages, latest wine packages by Marcus, latest OpenOffice.org packages, etc... But the other ones must be hosted elsewhere. See above. It's about the software provided via the buildserver. At the end it may result in 2 'smart-channel' repositories. One at the buildserver and another 1 hosted somewhere else, providing smart-channel rpms that are not possible to host on the buildserver. Note that this structure would make it possible to host the/my smart RPMs in the openSUSE Build Service. I was very reluctant to the idea, and I'm still pretty sure it is going to make things more difficult for end-users but well... dunno... I'll think about it ;) The point is that to install e.g. smart-channel-packman, you'll have to add the Packman repository in the first place, because it won't be hosted in the Build Service... chicken vs egg. No, it will be different. Assume that there are 2 smart-channel directories (buildserver, and e.g. at packman). You should include those 2 channels by default in your smart rpm. The only thing the user now has to do to add packman is: smart install smart-channel-packman and packman is added :) In the same swing, one can execute: smart install smart-channel-bs-home:rbos (bs = buildserver) ps: is this discussion okay to be held here (opensuse = community) or should it be moved to somewhere else? -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Op zaterdag 3 juni 2006 15:45, schreef Pascal Bleser: The idea behind this is to be able to add a channel using the command: smart --install channel-whatever name It's even easier to provide .channel files somewhere (like the .repo files in the Build Service), and just do smart channel --add http:///guru.channel smart channel --add http:///packman.channel Not sure whether this is easier from a user perspective. In your case the user needs to remember the url pointing to the channel repository. In my proposal it is not needed to remember this. One could for example use smart's functionality to find the channel rpm. Once the correct rpm (providing the desired channel), just execute 'smart install channel-name'. Or the more lazy type of user could execute 'smart install '*name*.' and have the channel installed that way. The only requirement is to have all channel rpms in a common place. Just like the rpmkey rpms that I maintain at the moment. Your proposal just a *.channel repository is easier from a packager perspective, as there is not rpm needed. The advantage of having the channel files in an rpm, is that those gets updated automatically when the corresponding channel file gets updated. This is the same for the rpmkey rpms. The best place to host those channel rpms are of course suse itself as they get than mirrored automatically. But as you already stated that might not be possible due to law implications.

You can assign these to new mount points without formatting. One last question. So the only risk is that if one disk breaks, all your data is gone. The LVM will most likely be on 1 disk (for home systems). The the early days disk were small and than LVM was used to obtain bigger file systems. Nowadays disks are big enough and LVM is used for convenience to be able to resize partition. 1 disadvantage by introducing LVM is another layer that can break. I use LVM as well, and when I have to do something with it, I always have to look up the commands as I never remember these If so, then by all means. Pitty it was not clear when it was decided to go to / and /home, Would have een great to do at the same time and would have stopped the part where people said to also have a seperate /opt, /srv, /var, /boot, /whatever. It really depends what purpose the system is used for. For a server, this might make sense. For a desktop workstation, I think a separation between the root file system and /home should be sufficient. Many people will have something like /music or /Pr0n that they share with otheres and thus not place it in /home To me it is not completely clear where in fhs you should place user data that you share with others. If Alice, Ben and Carl want to listen to music each of them has, where should you place that? `man hier` tells me that /usr should be read only. So you can't add music without root permission. /home is for the users and I do not want others snooping in my directory. I see nothing that is specificaly to share data. Well call it /home/share, /home/4allgoodpeople, /home/4all, etc -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Install the package with 'apt install rpm name'. Apt will install the app and when it requires other pkgs they'll be retrieved from the repository. Another nice is to install based on file name, like: apt install /usr/bin/smart apt will investigate which package provides /usr/bin/smart and will install that one :0 -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It would save bandwidth an time (and lots of my nerves) if it was possible to store the packages and repository data on my HD. Can anybody give me a hint if it is possible? This would also be nice not only for updates, but RPM's in general. e.g. I can download MPlayer and all that is needed into /usr/src/packages/RPMS/* and can use that as a base for other machines (or whatever) I guess all pkg mgr will store their downloaded rpms. APT does this in /var/cache/apt/archives, yast and samrt will do this somewhere else. Those archives can be used for other machines as well. In my case /var/cache/apt/archives is nfs mounted to different machines and as such the cache is shared among different machine automatically. It would be nice if all pkg managers would use the same cache. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
