OpenSUSE Network :: Transform 11.2 LiveCD On A Server?
Aug 23, 2010
I have openSUSE 11.2 (m8) Gnome LiveCD installed in my VirtualBox and now i want to move the schema to server side. I know, this is not normal, but it's fun - 'Have a lot of fun!', that is what i do in my study time.
So, how can i remove the packages useless for servers in a simple mode? My first idea uses category GROUP of a package, but this not work.
I can, for example, see the packages on System/Daemons, ok, but i can't see a list of groups inside System/ in a easy way.
And /usr/share/doc/rpm/GROUPS it's not full.

I've been in doubt weather to install Linux open SUSE or Mint on my Dell inspiron 1501 laptop. Having tried the latest SUSE live CD (not finding a way to use WiFi) I decided to install Mint (Katya release). Now it turns out there's a bug on Ubuntu/debian related linux distros in connection with Dell Laptops, specifically on WiFi cards by Broadcom. (If you want to know more, check this Ubuntu forum thread and my comment on it.) My question is: are there any known bugs on Dell with OpenSUSE? An additional question would be: is it at all possible to use WiFi with the latest SUSE live CD?

I am and Ubuntu user, and recently became interested in KDE 4, since it obviously looks much more modern that GNOME. I tried Kubuntu, but didn't really like it that much, so I downloaded openSUSE 11.3 and installed it on an old 40 GB IDE hard drive, leaving my existing Windows/Ubuntu HD untouched. The only problem is the Wi-Fi doesn't work, although it did work on the liveCD. Issuing the command gives the Wi-Fi card as being a RaLink RT2561/RT61. Does anyone know how to fix this? I really hope I can get this fixed, as I've heard some great things about openSUSE KDE, and would love to make it my primary OS, completely dumping Ubuntu. I'm using the 64-bit CD.

Bash 3.1.7
I have var1 in a script.
Code:
#!/usr/bin/bash
..........
echo var1
with ouput
08:28:10
The format of var1 is mm:ss:ff where ff are units of 1/75 seconds. In order to make of var1 an argument to the flac command (flac --skip=mm:ss.ss where ss.ss are seconds and decimal fraction) I must trasform mm:ss:ff to mm:ss.ss).
First I must isolate ff and place it in say, var2. And then var3=var2/75. How can I do the part (mm:ss:ff --> ff)? Perhaps some way to specify bash to accept ':' as separator?

I'm looking for some expert opinion on sed/script to work out the best way to transform one xml format into another however there are a few complexities around translation.
The extra complexities are to:
1) Take the start and stop time (YYYYMMDDHHMMSS) and convert to start time to unix time plus output the difference in seconds between both times.
2) Oid, tsid and sid are found by looking up an external file and finding the value against the channel. For example one of the lines in the file will be 2:806:27e2=channel1
Is there any way to write piped sed commands that can do this? If not, any ideas how the script should look like?
Input File
Code:
<programme start="20100910060000 +0100" stop="20100910061000 +0100" channel="channel1">
<title lang="en">This is the title</title>
<desc>This is the description</desc>
</programme>
Output File
Code:
<service oid="0002" tsid="0806" sid="27e2">
<event id="0">
<name lang="OFF" string="This is the title"/>
<text lang="OFF" string="This is the description"/>
<time start_time="1284098400" duration="600"/>
</event>
</service>
Look up file for oid, tsid and sid
Code:
2:806:27e2=channel1
2:756:37a3=channel2
5:4a06:42e5=channel3

I've asked this in another forum, but I'm not sure I phrased it very well. I have a desktop and a "server" at the house. The "server" is sitting across the room, with no keyboard or mouse. If I were to boot the server from a LiveCD, could I then get in with SSH and kick off the setup remotely? I'm getting "Connection refused" when trying to ssh in, so I'm guessing that the service is probably not turned on.
I checked into Reconstructor, and I think that may be the way to go, if I can figure out what I need to do. I'm thinking all I need to do is install an SSH key and start the service, then I can get into it from my desktop and proceed with the install.
Is this possible to do? Or is there a better way? I know I could lug the keyboard, mouse and monitor over to the other machine to do it, but that would mean that I couldn't do anything on my desktop (since that's where the keyboard, etc. would come from).

I'm new to networks and servers, been using Linux on the desktop for a while now but always relied on the company's IT guy for setting up everyting LAN-based.
Now I want to build up my home LAN, and want to do it with Linux. I've managed to set up LAMP and file share servers.
What I am looking for is information on what I need, and how to set up a server for the following tasks:Centralized Username and Password, that when the user logs into any one of the desktops in the LAN, it uses this for authentication
Something that allows this authentication to be utilized in other servers (file access, web access, router logging, etc.). Something to make it easier for continuing permissions from one service to another. e.g. I have IPCop filtering content, and it has provisions for tracking who is making which request if there is authentication going on. (optionally) to run a script for mounting Samba shares or mapped network drives so from one system to the next. For example, in whatever box somebody logs in, it mounts a server share ("smb://Myserver/users/<username>") to a local folder ("my_user_share").
So;user "fred" ="smb://Myserver/users/fred" and user "wilma" = "smb://Myserver/users/wilma" but both would find their respective one mounted under "~/my_user_share". This would be irrespective of which box they are loggin in with. If the server share location changes (new server/servername), I change it on the server so the next time they log in it points to the right place.
I guess it is similar to Window's Active Directory, though I'm not sure what it's called, how to configure it and what it is and is not capable of doing.

I have an opensuse 11.3 install which I want to set up as a network boot server to install Solaris 10 on a Sun Ultra 10 client. According to what I've read, this requires rarpd and tftpd which I've set up on opensuse, but also bootparamd which I can't find for 11.3. It seems it was last included with opensuse 9.2. Does anyone know if it's available, if I could use the suse 9.2 version, or any alternative?

When I installed OpenSUSE 11.1 on my server, at some point, I gave the server a description. Whenever I connect to any of the shares on the server, this description appears. For example, on one Windows workstation, there is a share which appears in Windows Explorer as "Midwest on 'Cincinnati Corporate ISS Server (ISS0042)' (T:)".
For the life of me, I cannot find where this description, "Cincinnati Corporate ISS Server", is stored. I've search through /etc, and poked around ad nauseum in YAST, but I am missing it. Where is this description stored? What is the YAST function to change it?

I setup a debian home server some time ago and have successfully setup samba so my windows machines can access them and upload/download data off it.I have setup opensuse on this desktop and after allowing smb through the firewall I now seem to have read only access to the smb shares.I am using the same username and password as I do on my windows machine, so in theory smb server should see my username and password and allow me read/write, like it does in win7. Is this correct?
Having just thought about it I think samba is just a tool to get shares working between linux/windows and macos.Is samba even the best tool for linux - linux sharing? how do I get read/write access to my shares in opensuse?or do I use another program to see my shares?I'm a bit new to this linux- linux sharing so I apologies.

I have to wonder how much testing Opensuse has done with yast-dns-server package. After adding zones to the dns server - the system loses the ability to perform name resolutions. I can copy a named.conf file from a system that does work, except everytime the system is restart the named.conf file is rewritten trashing the updates done and again rendering the system to perform name resolutions.
Anyone have suggestions on how to get yast-dns-server from interferring with the configuration file? I tried just uninstalling the package, but then bind doesn't even start up on boot up.

Other distro's have the ability to remaster (or make), a live cd of their install, is there an easy way to do this with Opensuse?
My thoughts are primarily with a fresh install complete with all updates, then make a live cd. In the event of a disaster a simple install from the live cd would get an updated version back again without the headache of installing updates, codecs etc...
Ubuntu has remastersys, PcLinuxOs can make Live cd's by a default app but i've not seen such things for Opensuse versions >= 11.1.

I seem to have a knack for having systems built that OpenSuse doesn't like. I remembered this afternoon why I gave up on 11.x - the 11.4 LiveCD doesn't like my setup, at least in terms of booting into a GUI. I have uploaded two photos I took of the bootup screen, in case the provide information that might be helpful. I am sorry about the shakiness, I have CP and the the 2nd one is harder to read because of that, but it says something about "amd radeon hd 6800 series (chip ID 0x6738) requires KMS" among other things.
Even though I'm really rusty in CLI, I'm happy to give it a go, to get this working, if possible. The two screenshots are [URL]
FWIW, the 11.4 LiveCD also really didn't like the NVIDIA GeForce 7000M / nForce 610M in my old Acer Aspire 5520 either.

I have a home network which is protected by a dedicated firewall pc running pfSense. I have an opensuse 11.2 webserver on the home side of the firewall. Is it necessary to run the a firewall or setup iptables on the opensuse box?At some point I intend to port forward through the firewall to the web server so it can be accessed via the internet. Access to the web server will be password protected as its only for myself and my business associates to connect to.

How do you localize openSUSE-11.4-KDE-LiveCD on a pendrive? I have installed bundle-lang-common-hu, bundle-lang-kde-hu, kde4-l10n-hu and yast2-trans-hu and changed locale in both Configure Desktop and YaST but the menus are only half-translated.
openSUSE installed from the DVD on a hard disk is properly translated. What makes the difference?

I formatted my old laptop's HDD completely to install openSUSE with a clean slate plus it couldn't handle XP anymore. I burnt a liveCD and NET CD but none of them boot (not at all) and since its my first experience with Linux I am puzzled. I get this message that operating system could not found (well there is none) and it suppose to boot from the CD I triple checked the boot priority I burnt extra CD's but nothing seem to work.

After a Christmas morning scramble trying to get Sims3 working for the kids, I ended up pulling an Nvidia 6200 AGP card out of a perfectly good Ubuntu box and threw it into the kids' PC. I replaced it in the Ubuntu system with an old Nvidia Geforce 2 Ti AGP. From the start I was unable to get any resolution higher than 800x600 with the GF2. Tried removing xserver-org, reinstalling, reconfiguring, etc. Installed the Nvidia legacy drivers, all no luck. Tried booting with a 9.10 live CD and it works perfectly - various resolutions, refreshes, etc. So, the card is capable. I've checked, rechecked, restored, modified xorg.conf to no success.
I'm at a text login now, startx returns (among other info) the following:
dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nvidia_drv.so: undefined symbol: AllocateScreenPrivateIndex
(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//nvidia_drv.so
(EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (loader failed, 7)
(EE) No drivers available
Fatal server error:
no screens found
Now, I've checked, and nvidia_drv.so is where it's supposed to be (in the drivers directory). What concerns me is the "//" in the directory path string in the (EE) above preceding the driver name - shouldn't this be a "/"? Is the command not able to find the driver correctly? Regardless, at this point my goal is simply to get the system to use whatever process the live cd is using which results in a working GUI. Don't need fancy 3d, etc, just want a working system.
