Sascha Manns: Siga (System Information GAthering) Project forked

“Maybe some of us knowing a Commandline Tool called “Siga”. SIGA stands for System Information GAthering. It collects various system information and outputs it in HTML or ASCII format. Why this is important’ It is very handy as an information source during installation support phone calls. You are experiencing an issue with your installation of openSuSE and to help technical support analyse the cause of the problem as fast as possible, you want to assist them by providing information specific to your system. Through siga you can find the needed Informations very quick.”

Dominique Leuenberger: Dominique Leuenberger: Compiz 0.9.0 released

“Compiz has been in the works for a long time, but just now 0.9.0 has been released. Packages for openSUSE are on their way and will arrive in OBS://X11:Compiz:Next in a few minutes. THEY ARE COMPLETELY UNTESTED BY ME YET (…)”

Duncan Mac-Vicar: Android build service client 0.2

“Just pushed to the market, enjoy * Improved requests layout, including gravatars * colored diffs”

Pascal Bleser: openSUSE 11.3RC1 LXDE screencast

“Our good friend and contributor Lee “oldcpu” Matheson did a nice screencast of the very lightweight LXDE desktop on openSUSE 11.3 RC1. LXDE on openSUSE is quite an interesting undertaking, as it was completely pushed, driven and implemented by members of our community, without a single minute being spent on time sponsored by Novell ;) Andrea Florio did most of the work and lead the charge from the beginning, so kudos to him as well.”

Pascal Bleser: Even shorter openSUSE repository URLs: guessing the distro

“I updated the documentation about even shorter and more portable URLs to openSUSE build service repositories. The thing is, the zypp stack (zypper and YaST2) send the version of the openSUSE it is running on as an HTTP header when performing an “add repo” operation. That is now used on the server side when a version is not specifically mentioned in the URL. e.g.: zypper ar -r http://r.opensu.se/network:utilities.repo”

Dominique Leuenberger: Juniper VPN on openSUSE x86_64

“I’m in the unfortunate situation that my employer uses a Juniper SSL/VPN solution with network connect capabilities (to initiate a real tunnel). The solution is built around some Java code, some suid services and obviously exists as 32bit only. Since the update from v5 to v6.5, network connect does no longer work when initiated from the web interface, which is a shame. The issue is a 32bit library that seems no longer to be nicely wrapped and thus the 64bit java is no longer able to start the processes up. The worst about all of it: there is no error message, no log file. If you’re lucky enough and you only have username / password auth, you can simply use ncsvc with some parameters. Of course I am less fortunate, and besides username/password, we also use a OTP RSA Token. And of course, ncsvc does not offer any option to enter a 2nd password.”

Cornelius Schumacher: ownCloud in a box

“I had some free minutes today at Akademy, so I decided to build an ownCloud appliance. I did a few iterations in SUSE Studio and there you go: ownCloud in a box.”

Aaron Bockover: Banshee on Linode

“I recently migrated all of the Banshee web server stuffs to a Linode 768. We were previously running on an incredibly slow, unreliable, and expensive dedicated co-lo machine that once hosted a number of Novell community projects. As part of the migration, go-oo (Novell’s edition of OpenOffice) has migrated to openSUSE infrastructure, and I’ve taken F-Spot with me to Linode. The performance and reliability so far has skyrocketed, and the flexibility we now have is very welcome. The Banshee web site is powered by openSUSE 11.2, lighttpd, MySQL, and WordPress. The new Linode backup service is a huge relief, which we are using in addition to daily cron-based on-system backups. I’ve been a huge and loyal fan of Linode since 2005, and am happy to bring Banshee along!”

Aaron Bockover: Amazon MP3 downloader support in Banshee

“I’m very excited to announce I have just landed support for downloading and importing your Amazon MP3 purchases into Banshee. It is a simple extension that understands the download queue file that Amazon delivers after a purchase is made. Linux Desktop integration is provided so that your web and file browsers associate Banshee with the download queue file.”

Uwe Gansert: AutoYaST goes Twitter

“well, it’s not that it can read XML files from a twitter feed now ;) but after this blog, starting from today, AutoYaST goes one further step to web 2.0 and has it’s own twitter account. It’s not for great hints or enhanced support or so. It’s just a little look behind the curtain of my life with AutoYaST … for those who care ;) And it seems you can’t do any bigger project these days without something like a blog, twitter or facebook or … so … here it is.”

Stephan Kulow: Shortcut for the package download

“If you look at the list of binaries for a package (e.g. icecream), you may think that you can download the RPM right away – but if you follow the link in a browser you get to see details about the rpm. Now if you only want to download it, you may already know the details and don’t care. So I added a little shortcut: if you request the binary url with a client not accepting html explicitly (e.g. curl, wget…), you get the file directly. Just copy & paste the link to your console and be done. …”

Stephen Shaw: iFolder appliance updates

“Yes, its been forever and then some since I’ve messed with this stuff. I’m finally trying to make sure that I get some work done on this. The first item of business is the new iFolder appliance project page being hosted on google code. This is where I’d like to post updates, release notes, progress, errata, the how to, fixes, workarounds, etc. The next thing I want to mention is that I’ve started to work on an openSUSE 11.2 based iFolder appliance that will include, as of right now, iFolder 3.8.  : I’ll be posting links to the test images for anyone that would like to help test, comment, contribute, etc. Please feel free to post bugs to the project page and I’ll do my best to fix them.” i have set up my squid proxy server , its working fine the problem arose when i enable transparent squid via wccp .its not working at all below are my configuration and error am getting when restarting squid;
