Michal Čihař: Back from FOSDEM

@ 07:45 UTC

face

Yet another FOSDEM is behind us and I'd like to thank all people organizing it. It was a great event as usual.

This year there were some changes - the conference grew and there was an extra building. This is great, but on the other side, there were more tracks to follow and occasionally I wanted to be in four places at once, what is of course not manageable.

Combined with quite freezing weather (well it was still much warmer than it is now in Prague), moving from one side of campus to another was not that comfortable as in last years, but there is not much man can do with that.

And the biggest change for me - I did not manage beer event this year. We enjoyed great team dinner on Friday evening and while it ended, I was too lazy to move to crowded beer event and rather enjoyed bed in my hotel.

Masim Vavai Sugianto: Summary Proses Instalasi & Konfigurasi Mail Server untuk Production Server (Live)-Bagian 1

@ 22:36 UTCmember

face

Salah satu proses yang kerap membingungkan rekan-rekan yang training mengenai Zimbra Mail Server  di Excellent adalah soal urutan proses pembuatan mail server yang akan diterapkan di perusahaan/instansi tempatnya bekerja, mulai dari proses instalasi awal sampai dengan siap dipergunakan baik untuk pengiriman dan penerimaan email internal maupun pengiriman dan penerimaan email secara umum melalui internet.

Pemahaman mengenai proses konfigurasi ini sebenarnya dibutuhkan oleh semua SysAdmin yang hendak melakukan konfigurasi mail server untuk keperluan live production. Tanpa memahaminya, SysAdmin mail server harus membentur banyak rintangan sampai akhirnya mail server bisa go live.

Fred Blaise: DLNA server with Linux

@ 22:11 UTC

face

uShare does a great a simple job in quickly setting up a dlna server under Linux.

Under opensuse 12.1:

zypper ref
zypper in ushare

Edit the /etc/ushare.conf file, at least these 2 options:


USHARE_DIR=/path/where/you/hold/your/movies
ENABLE_DLNA=yes

Then, you can try with an dlna application and you should see a ‘uShare’ share that you can browse and play movies from!

Fred Blaise: Configure Linux for your OSX Time Machine needs

@ 21:59 UTC

face

Have a Linux around with some free storage space, and you want to backup your Mac? You can configure your Linux box to just appear in your Mac OSX Time Machine configuration.

I am using Opensuse 12.1 (64bits) here, and the setup is nearly done. Here are just the few extra steps you need to take in order for your Mac to see your storage space and use it as backup. Note that I have done no effort whatsoever to secure the configuration as of now. It functions, but you may want to take it the extra step for added security. This is just a basic setup.

First, let’s tell avahi that you want to advertise a new service. Create a new file, called afpovertcp.service in /etc/avahi/services:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?><!--*-nxml-*-->
<!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd">

<service-group>
  <name replace-wildcards="yes">%h</name>
  <service>
    <type>_afpovertcp._tcp</type>
    <port>548</port>
  </service>
  <service>
    <type>_device-info._tcp</type>
    <port>548</port>
    <txt-record>model=PowerMac3,5</txt-record>
  </service>
</service-group>

Install the netatalk package, and go configure the afpd.conf file. Go to the end of this file, and uncomment the default line. I had to pass it my actual IP address, because it was not advertising on the right one.

# default:
- -tcp -ipaddr 192.168.1.48 -noddp -uamlist uams_dhx.so,uams_dhx2.so -nosavepassword

The rest of this file is commented on my box.

Then, go edit the AppleVolumes.default file in that same folder. At the end, I simply added the path where I wanted my Time Machine backups to go:

/home/fblaise/mnt/WD15/time_machine     "tm_backups"    options:tm,ea:auto volcharset:UTF8

At this point, you can start your netatalk service:

service netatalk start

(Edit /etc/init.d/netatalk at l.71. The -n switch takes mandatory parameters apparently, but we’re not using the atalk stuff)


    if [ x"${AFPD_RUN}" = x"yes" -a -x /usr/sbin/afpd ] ; then
            echo -n "  Starting afpd ("
            echo -n ${AFPD_UAMLIST} -g ${AFPD_GUEST} \
               -c ${AFPD_MAX_CLIENTS}
               #-c ${AFPD_MAX_CLIENTS} -n ${ATALK_NAME}${ATALK_ZONE}
            echo -n ")"
            startproc /usr/sbin/afpd ${AFPD_UAMLIST} -g ${AFPD_GUEST} \
                ${AFPD_OPTIONS} \
               -c ${AFPD_MAX_CLIENTS}
               #-c ${AFPD_MAX_CLIENTS} -n "${ATALK_NAME}${ATALK_ZONE}"
            rc_status -v
    fi

or just start the afpd daemon with no option, just by typing 

afpd

as root in a terminal.

You may want to reload the avahi configuration as well with 

avahi-daemon -r

Then, go to your Time Machine preferences, and your Linux box should now show up as an option with the path defined above!

Efstathios Iosifidis: Χρήση συσκευής USB στο VirtualBox

@ 18:07 UTCmember

face

Κατά καιρούς στο παρελθόν όταν είχα δουλέψει σε άλλες διανομές, είχα αντιμετωπίσει το πρόβλημα αυτό. Όταν το άφησα τελευταία, είχε διορθωθεί. Πιθανό να διορθώθηκε στις άλλες διανομές.
Προσπάθησα να χρησιμοποιήσω ένα USB στο Virtual Box.

Βασικά ακολούθησα τις οδηγίες από το forum. Με λίγα λόγια, πρόσθεσα τον χρήστη στο group των vboxusers. Μπορεί να γίνει από το YaST αλλά εγώ προτίμησα τερματικό.

groupmod -A diamond_gr vboxusers


(όπου diamond_gr το δικό σας username)

Δοκίμασα να κάνω αυτό που λέει, να προσθέσω στις ρυθμίσεις του Virtual Box την συσκευή και να την ενεργοποιήσω μόλις εκκινήσει η εικονική μηχανή αλλά πάλι απέτυχε.

Μετά από λίγο ψάξιμο, έπρεπε να προσθέσω ένα ακόμα αρχείο.

Σε τερματικό δώστε:
gnomesu gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/11-vboxdrv.rules


ώστε να ανοίξει ο gedit. Στη συνέχεια, γράψτε το παρακάτω κείμενο...

KERNEL=="vboxdrv", NAME="vboxdrv", OWNER="root", GROUP="root", MODE="0600"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device", GROUP="vboxusers", MODE="0664"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", GROUP="vboxusers", MODE:="0664"


Κάντε μια επανεκκίνηση και είστε έτοιμοι.
Τώρα μπορείτε να ενεργοποιείτε την συσκευή USB στην εικονική μηχανή σας.

  • Gave my: talk on Easy Hacks: they're easy and they're significant hacks:
  • Off for a bite of lunch with Caolan, then on to the (packed) Legal dev-room (with Bradley as bouncer) to catch the end of Allison's talk. Then gave a talk: Risks and Benefits of Copyright Assignment
  • Talked to Michael and a Wiki translation chap a little after that, and rushed off to building K, to see our lovely booth manned & womaned by a great mix of contributors. Tried to get my demos setup - somewhat frustrated by a nasty suspend/resume kernel crasher. Gave a talk: LibreOffice: on-line and in your pocket - with the first Android prototype screenshots (and demo):
  • Finally relaxed: bit of an intense day, synched with Dawn, Guy, and helped a contributor with his build. Wandered to the booth to hand out stickers, and catch up with the stream of interesting people passing by.
  • Off to the speakers dinner with Bdale & Keith, whiled away much of a happy evening together. On to the sudden death to catch up with Richard Fontana, Andrew Haley, Simon Phipps and more - bed at 4am.

Danny Kukawka: Update: PandaBoard persistent MAC from smsc95xx kernel module

@ 18:10 UTC

face
Some days ago I decided to send an updated and reworked version of my kernel patch for the smsc95xx kernel module - to get a persistent MAC address via the kernel cmdline from u-boot - to the linux kernel mailing list. I should have known better and save me the time: the patch wasn't accepted. You can follow the discussion here.

If you follow the argumentation, we should drop the support for changing the MAC address of a network device via kernel module parameter also from e.g. the following modules: sunhme, fec or ksz884x. And we should then also remove all the 'generate a random MAC for real devices' since it all could be somehow get managed in the user-space, although it's pita to handle this task in user-space since it's currently even hard to find out if a device got a random MAC assigned from the kernel.

I still plan to add the patch to the openSUSE kernel until I've worked out another solution. Feel free to use the patch anyway on your system.

I've just now checked in the actual version 0.8.38 into the OBS. It's available into the Documentation:Tools repository.

What's happend since the previous version?

New Features
* Implement the ability to automatically add books to calibre from a specified folder.

   or
   tag if it is immediately preceded by another
   or
   tag.
* Driver for EZReader T730 and Pint-of-View PlayTab Pro

Bug Fixes
* Fix device entry not visible in menubar even when it has been added via Preferences->Toolbars.

* EPUB Input: Handle EPUBs with duplicate entries in the manifest.
* MOBI Input: Handle files that have extra  tags sprinkled through out their markup.

How to get it?

You have different options. You can add the Documentation:Tools repository or use the 1-Click Service.

SUSE Studio: Manage your appliances using SUSE Manager

@ 10:54 UTC

face


If you use appliances built by SUSE Studio in server environments, you probably know that you need to monitor them, update their configuration, deploy security fixes, etc. In short, you need to  manage them. SUSE offers a product that helps exactly with these tasks — SUSE Manager — and SUSE Studio now offers a simple way to manage your SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP1 appliances using it.

To use the new SUSE Manager integration, simply visit your appliance configuration and select Configuration → Appliance, then select the Integrate with SUSE Manger checkbox. Fill in the hostname or IP address of your SUSE Manager server and the name of a bootstrap script that will be used inside your appliance.


When booting your appliance for the first time, it will automatically download and run the bootstrap script, registering your appliance with SUSE Manager. Afterward, you can manage the appliance like any other system.

Learn more about SUSE Manager by watching videos, reading its documentation, or simply trying the free evaluation version.

Bryen Yunashko: Moving Along for Florida’s openSUSE Event

@ 21:38 UTCmember

face

As some of you may have noticed, SUSE will have their SUSECon event in Orlando, Florida this coming September.  And because SUSE recognizes the importance of the openSUSE Community, they have graciously granted space for us to have our own conference of sorts immediately after SUSECon.

So, yesterday we had our kickoff meeting to start planning our event.   We have yet to have an official name for it but we will be launching a poll tomorrow on our Connect site to see which name most people like.  Stay tuned for the announcement to that poll link!  And if you have a suggestion for a name, mention it now so I can be sure to include it in the poll.

I posted a detailed summary of what we discussed during the kickoff meeting.  What I really liked about yesterday’s meeting was the obvious interest and energy of the community in attendance.  The community has waited a long time to see such an event in the Western Hemisphere and now those voices are finally heard.  This does not however replace our main openSUSE Conference which is held every year in Europe.  The Florida event is more of a regional somewhat smaller-scale event that aims to bring together the Community in the North America region, though obviously it is open to everyone from around the globe.

It is an event that will be defined and driven by our community.  And I’ll be sure to blog whenever I can to keep you updated on the evolution of this event.

So what’s next?

This is not a community event if the community isn’t involved.  And that means we now need volunteers to step up and join the various committees.   Small or big, the tasks are varied and there’s a good chance there’s something interesting enough for you to roll up your sleeves and get involved.  Check out our planning wiki page and add your name to the volunteer section.

We’re hoping to get a formal announcement of the event (including its name and website) by early March.  But don’t let that hold you back from marking your calendar to visit Orlando, Florida September 21-23!

Jan Krings: Ununseptikum für openSUSE

@ 14:13 UTC

face

Nach der lustigen Betitelung meines Blogs unter http://de.opensuse.org/In_der_Presse ist mir nach einiger Zeit aufgefallen, dass man nach jeder Neuinstallation von openSUSE im Endeffekt immer die gleichen Dinge macht. Unter anderem:

  • Packman Repo einbinden
  • Codecs installieren
  • Updates einspielen
  • wichtige Programme nachinstallieren

Jedesmal sind solche Arbeiten ziemlich lästig, da man sich alles irgendwo wieder zusammen suchen muss. Um diese ganze Prozedur etwas zu beschleunigen habe ich ein Script geschrieben, dass einem die ganze Arbeit abnimmt. Es installiert die neuesten Updates, bindet das Multimedia Repository Packman ein und installiert alle notwendigen Codecs um auch mp3 und andere Formate abzuspielen. Vor dem Beginn der Installation hat man die Möglichkeit einige Pakete an und abzuwählen.

Die Benutzung ist natürlich auf eigene Gefahr. Benutzen Sie das Script nur bei einer noch frischen Neuinstallation. “Normalerweise” sollte es auch später risikolos sein. Allerdings habe ich dies vorher nicht ausprobiert, da jeder sein System in Nachhinein anderen konfiguriert.

Download: ununseptikum-12.1-1.1.2.sh.tar.gz

(Die aktuelle Version finden Sie unter der openSUSE Seite meines Blogs.)

HOWTO

Laden Sie die Datei herunter und entpacken Sie diese mit:

tar xzvf [Dateiname].tar.gz

Machen Sie das Script ausführbar mit:

chmod +x [Dateiname].sh

und führen Sie das Script als root aus:

su gefolgt von ./[Dateiname].sh

oder

sudo ./[Dateiname].sh

Ich bitte um Kritik, Vorschläge und Ressonanz. :)

Masim Vavai Sugianto: Shutdown GTimer: Pengatur Waktu Shutdown pada Gnome Desktop

@ 01:06 UTCmember

face

Shutdown GTimer adalah timer untuk shutdown di LinuxMint dan sistem linux lainnya yang menggunakan GNOME Desktop. Program ini dapat dengan mudah menjadwalkan waktu shutdown, restart, hibernate, logout atau bahkan menjalankan perintah/command.

Shutdown GTimer adalah program open source yang ditulis menggunakan python dan mempunyai fungsi yang sama dengan qshutdown namun lebih banyak fiturnya. Program ini bisa mengeksekusi command atau hanya menampilkan pesan.

Anda bisa download program ini di link download yang saya berikan di akhir artikel ini. Pilih paket .deb untuk LinuxMint atau paket lainnya untuk distro lainnya. Setelah selesai didownload, install paket tsb menggunakan tool GDebi Package Installer.

Setelah terinstall, anda bisa menjalankannya untuk membuat jadwal shutdown, restart, suspend, hibernate, logout, menjalankan command dan menampilkan pesan. Program ini juga punya applet indikator seperti terlihat di gambar ini.

Applet indikator ini memungkinkan kita melihat window utama, memulai countdown di panel, memunculkan widget countdown dan melihat kembali status terkini dari applikasi ini.

Fitur handy lainnya dari program ini sbb:

  • Kontrol cepat menggunakan mouse dan keyboard
  • Timer untuk waktu seminggu
  • Mendukung penyimpanan preset yang akan jalan otomatis bila program dijalankan.
  • Mendukung quicklist di Unity launcher dan docking program lainnya untuk akses langsung ke preset.
  • Penunjuk waktu bisa berbentuk widget kecil yang bisa ditaruh dimana saja di layar monitor.
  • Dapat berjalan di sistem jadul, contohnya Ubuntu 8.04 keatas.
  • Services yang didukung: ConsoleKit, UPower, DeviceKit, HAL, gnome.SessionManager, kde.kmserver
  • DEB installation package for Ubuntu
  • Dapat dijalankan tanpa diinstal, cukup ekstrak arsip tar di folder mana saja, lalu jalankan file sgtimer.
  • Shell command bisa dieksekusi sebelum aksi lainnya, misal tutup semua aplikasi sebelum Suspend.

Informasi detail Shutdown GTimer bisa anda dapatkan di halaman sourceforge mereka.
