NUREMBERG, Germany (5-Nov.-2014) – Many Linux user groups throughout Italy met at separate, but collectively themed events on Oct. 25 for Linux Day to promote the use of GNU/Linux and free software.
Alexjan Carraturo, a openSUSE advocate, used this year's Linux Day, which is sponsored by the Italian Linux Society, to promote participation in the openSUSE Project in both Tuscany and Umbria.
"openSUSE offers something different and intriguing," Carraturo said.
Not everyone appreciates the value of free software, Carraturo said. One of the greatest satisfactions with promoting free software is the look of surprise people have when they realize that they are not forced to choose only between Microsoft and Apple.
"The free software is an alternative that people need, but they don't yet know they have," he said. (more…)

Need a Wallpaper Changer for GNOME? Try Variety!August 13th, 2014 by Nenad Latinović
openSUSE, despite the vastness of the www stating it's primarily a KDE distro, prides itself in offering a one stop shop for your operating system needs, regardless of your desktop environment preferences. And it's true. For a couple of months, I've been running openSUSE GNOME exclusively on my laptop. And it worked like a charm. But there was one problem.
MATE 1.8.1 Available on openSUSEJuly 31st, 2014 by Nenad Latinović
After GNOME 2.x passed the torch to GNOME 3, a lot of people started to wonder what is the perfect graphical user interface for them. Many users moved to Xfce, since it offers kind of a similar user experience to the late GNOME 2.x. But for those still fond of the GNOME 2.x environment, there is a fork of GNOME 2 available, and it's called MATE Desktop Environment.
The MATE Desktop Environment fork of GNOME2 was started by an Arch Linux user named perberos (you can read his forum announcement here). The project started by mostly maintaining GNOME 2 packages. Many developers joined the project later on, so MATE Desktop Environment caught on quite successfully, improving vastly in the years past. There are also plans afoot to move to GTK3, wayland etc.
Artwork Overhaul a Possibility in openSUSE 13.2?June 28th, 2014 by Nenad Latinović
As we stated in one of our earlier articles, the openSUSE team is working full steam. Even though it may sometimes seem quiet news-wise, it's not so by any means. So, let's look at the progress the artwork team has been making since the last time we posted about new bling-bling hitting openSUSE 13.2.
Jean-Daniel Dodin a.k.a shares his experiences on how to manage a Personal Web Server with openSUSEMay 14th, 2014 by Manu Gupta
Hello :-)
I want to share my experience in managing a personal hosted web server with openSUSE.
Two points, first.
- I'm not a computer professional, but an openSUSE addict since 1996;
- I will describe the use of hosted server, that is one that is not in your home, but somewhere in the cloud, but is still a hardware machine reserved to your own usage.
Why should I need my own server?
There are two main reasons.
- The first is fun. It's fun to use openSUSE Linux to manage a server. It's fun to ba able to say to friends "I have my own web site, I can manage one for you if you want". It's fun to be able to setup the computer to fit your precise needs, without having to cope with shared hosting never having the good php version or refusing ssh access. It's fun to learn how to manage such a frightening beast, it's fun to reach a new knowledge level.
- The second is friendliness and sharing. Nowadays, the cloud is everything. Internet is the key. Families are spread all over the world as are friends. To be able to share data, that is images, videos, comments, technical notes is essential. Managing it's own server is the most effective way to do so.
Why a hosted server?
The first thing one try to do is manage it's own server at home. It's easy, most of the time any old hardware do the job -my first one was a 386 laptop with broken screen- (yes, a server do not need screen).
But one will pretty fast notice that the DSL line is not the best internet connection for this use. DSL is usually named "ADSL", the "A" being for "Asymmetrical". The speed of the data is approx 10,000 for downloading and only 1,000 for uploading (the real unit do not matter), that's why it's so difficult to send photos to a friend. So each time somebody wants to get something from your server at home, he will have to wait forever.
An other reason is cost. It's not so cheap to have at home a computer running 7/7 and 24/24. Even is you can find a place where the noise is not a problem, power consumption is not that cheap. The simpler computer is like letting a bulb on all the time and my mother kept saying to me "please, switch off the light" :-).
I can't know for you, but in France, where I live, hosting providers are really cheap. My own provider price list varies largely depending on the moment. Last year one could borrow a server for as low as $3 a month, just when I write it's $8 for the smaller one. The one I use now cost me approximately $35 a month but have 4 processors, 8 threads, 2Tb Hard drive and 24Gb ram, that is much more than my desktop computer!
And for this price, I have 100Mbits symmetrical network, a fixed IP and a professional staff to maintain the hardware.
The drawback is that I have to manage the software myself entirely, but it's exactly why I wanted a server so no complain on that :-).
Last word: When I say hosted, I don't mean it's you that have to provide the hardware. The hardware is property of the provider and maintained by him.
What do I need on my server?
Before doing anything in the life, one have to ask himself "why"? Same for a server. Right now I use my server to host my photo collection (more than 30,000 photos), my videos (much less in number, but very heavy in size), my personal wiki with all my technical notes and a blog. Also my personal mail server that I find to be more reliable than many professional ones. All this do not take more than 100Gb disk space, so there is a lot of free space where I can backup some data for friends or Linux groups I work with.
What is the real task?
I try to write down all what I do, let only to remember it myself! Of course it's not very well organized, but my wiki page lists this, and I plan to discuss this with you now and in the future. Not being a professional, many things I do are not that good or not that smart. I always accept constructive criticisms and tips, and will be glad to receive them.

What I wont cover
As you see in this list, I use VirtualBox. This mean I use virtual server on my own server. I only begun to do so after several years of work, so I wont -yet- discuss this option here, I didn't remove this item from the list, because I may at some point talk about it, incidentally.
The beginning: partitioning and installing
Installation on a hosted server is not as easy as on a local machine, because you don't have any DVD access. The way you can access your computer depends on the provider. Mine gives the client a large choice of Linux distributions (among other systems), including openSUSE, and can deliver the server with a basic install and ssh access. One have also a rescue access (similar to openSUSE rescue access) to the server in case the machine do not boot anymore, but this is as friendly as is the rescue disk, better not have to use it too often.
Along the years, I have tested many partitioning schemes, and turn back to the simplest. Fact is on a remote server it's difficult to manage several installations, like one do with dualboots –you don't have access to a boot menu!
You can have one or two disks, the goal of two disks being to use raid 1 -my provider offers free change of damaged hardware- but one have to reconstruct it's own raid. Using half the disk size as raid is pretty expensive, and simply having two disks for raid usually makes you shift to an other price list. I simply do not see any real reason to use raid on such server. After all if my personal server is out of business for some hours, nobody will notice (or nearly), We will see later than I use an other server as a backup.
So simple partitioning. On my own server I had problems with the default (provider) partitioning –yast didn't like it- but I could reinstall the system and choose a simple configuration:
/dev/sda1 20Gb /
/dev/sda2 512Mb swap
/dev/sda3 1,8Tb /home
Notice I have a very small swap. I probably could have simply avoided to use swap (with 24Gb ram!), but I have this as default and kept it and it's used by some application (496Kb), I don't know why.
Actual system size is very low, so the 20Gb root size is much more than necessary, but like this the risk to have /tmp or /usr grow excessively is smaller and with 2Tb total size, why discuss?
Each provider have it's own install interface, like any Linux distribution do, so I wont speak about it and say what is the result when, finally, you get the ssh prompt :-),
My provider provides a specific Kernel, also available as "net boot". This is very interesting, because it's always patched against all the problems, and, after all, you have never to change hardware on a hosted computer, and so one can reboot it's server against net boot in case something go wrong. But the usual way is to boot normally, the hardware being provided with the kernel installed in /boot.
But, believe it or not, I was years before noticing the kernel was NOT part of default openSUSE install by the provider! It simply added manually the provider disk image. During these years I simply thought the hardware was not standard and that was the reason openSUSE couldn't boot. I know today it's wrong, because I had to use the standard kernel to make use of virtualization.
That said, I urge you to use the provider's kernel if it exists, because it's much more convenient and simplify eventual problems with the providers maintenance staff.
To get rid of the provider kernel I had to remove the /etc/grub.d/06-something-providersname config file and install the default kernel with YaST. Configure the boot system with YaST and reboot. The file in grubd is only used if it's executable, so "chmod a-x" is enough to make it unavailable (and easily recovered if necessary).
Test and retest!
Before going to use the server in production, test it as long as necessary, two or three months not being ridiculous. Chance is you will reinstall several times during this period and it's always better to have as few as possible work to do again. Don't forget any critical error may need to use the recovery console or reinstall the system.
Write down the exact partition scheme. It can happen that reinstalling with the exact same partitions makes you able to recover at least the data untouched. Not sure, just a guess…
Works tricks
On my server the initial installation was extremely small, may be smaller than the minimal server install openSUSE gives. For sure, no YaST! You are lucky if you have zypper! May be you only have rpm!
So first things to install is zypper (you may have anyway some way to download rpm files, see providers help), then "zypper in yast",
There having ncurse YaST is extremely handy, but yast2 (graphic) is much more, so it's a good idea to install a minimum graphic system, then use "ssh -Y firstname.lastname@example.com" to have yast2 displayed locally.
The basics
Fixed IP
With the server you must have a fixed IP. This mean you have an IP of your own. This may be the case -or not- for your home network. It means also you have to take double care of what you do, because you sign all your passage with your IP. This also mean most server in the net will trust you better exactly for the same reason, they know you.
Using certificates is an all other thing I wont discuss now.
The very first thing you have to do is update your system. The first install is always from initial data and a server have to be uptodate. As soon as you have zypper, do a "zypper ref & zypper up", Be prepared to see things shine, you get a semi-professional bandwith, at least. Mine is 100Mb symetrical, pretty pleasant.
Having an automatic update through yast is challenged. A professional server manager may not like it (always fearing an update break his system), but on your case, I beg you may be weeks before connection as root on the server and updating is important, so go for it.
Installs software
Don't forget to install and launch sshd! Else at the first reboot you will have no mean to log in your server!
Depending of your initial install you will probably have to install a lot of things. My provider installed a very minimal system. I had to install nearly all by hand. Begin to install all the meaningful YaST modules (search for yast in software install). I had yast (mandatory!), but not yast2 (no gui) when using "ssh -X -C" to connect then yast2 is much friendlier. Notice that ssh -X seems to need a minimal X install. I use to install xfce4 (but not to run it at boot).
I didn't write down all what I installed. A short list is probably: mc, w3m, yast2-gtk and qt, vsftpd (ftp), dovecot (mail imap/pop3), mrtg (http statistics), inn (news server), mailman (list server), spamassassin (spam fighter), apache2, ntp (time sync), tightVNC (remote admin). X and xfce may be useful some day. You even may have to install vim if you get only minimal vi.
Don't forget to activate the necessary services in YaST, system, services (run levels).
Using patterns is friendly, but for example I ended with libreoffice and Gimp, not really necessary on a web server :-) (don't forget eventually to remove them :-).
Do you need a firewall is an other controversial question. Your server is alone in it's network, not a gateway. Unused ports are by the way closed. Open ports are managed par the application that listen. But Firewall is said to manage better than other applications things like attacks. It may also block things done by your others users (you will soon have to host friends). So may be better have a firewall.
Default openSUSE firewall is SuSEFirewall2. Most options are setup with the YaST2 module.
The main error to avoid is to launch the firewall before having setup the ssh opening – doing so you will lose the connection to the server…
Test the firewall: http://www.auditmypc.com/firewall-test.asp (but from the tested computer).
Add as allowed:
- smtp (postfix)
- http (apache)
- https
- vsftp
X11 forwarding
To be able to use graphical applications is sometime mandatory. The easiest way is to allow X1 forwarding. This makes graphical apps to display right in your local console.
To allow X11 forwarding to work on modern distributions, you have to add
X11Forwarding yes
#X11UseLocalhost no
AddressFamily inet
to "/etc/ssh/sshd_config".
then log in with "ssh -X -C [-p <port>] url
Notice: I keep the "X11UseLocalhost no" in the list (but not activated thanks to #) because it's often given as a working solution. But I was said that the problem is an obscure IPV6 problem and that "AddressFamily inet" instruct ssh to use IPV4 and is much more secure, so better use it.
To be continued. On the next article, we will discuss how to configure the server, give it a name, communicate with it, setup mysql (in fact mariadb) and finally apache :-).

What's up on KDE repositoriesApril 4th, 2014 by Ricardo Chung
Dear KDE Users,
Maybe you have heard already about it from another openSUSE mailing list, a blog post or through our openSUSE community page on Google+, but the KDE repositories have been changed since last Tuesday. Below you will find the changes that were done based on the release of KDE 4.12.4.
Why was this changes needed
Based on a small discussion in the opensuse-kde mailinglist and feedback on our survey, we concluded that the majority is in favor of creating a single repository where we track the current KDE release.
Where are my old KDE repositories
The name for this repository will be KDE:Current and will initially be build for oS 12.3 and oS 13.1.
After the release of the KDE:Current repo, the repositories KDE:Release:XY have been cleaned and removed. Initially KDE:Current will be delivered with 4.12.4 as that the KDE 4.13 release is scheduled for mid April.
Also the repository KDE:Extra and KDE:Unstable:Extra will change as that some of the building targets (KDE:Release:XY) are disappearing and be replaced with KDE:Current.
Where should I find the new KDE repositories
The KDE Repository page KDE repositories has been updated to reflect the changes. We would like to ask those that have been working on the localization of this page in other languages, to
update their pages as well.
FreeDesktop Summit about to startMarch 27th, 2014 by Jos Poortvliet
Next week, from Monday the 31st of March to the 4th of April, developers from the major Linux Desktops (GNOME, KDE, Unity and RazorQt) will meet again in Nuremberg for the second FreeDesktop Summit.
The summit is a joint technical meeting from developers working on 'desktop infrastructure' on the major Free Desktop projects and the event aims to improve collaboration between the projects by discussing specifications and the sharing of platform-level components.
Like last year, the event is supported by SUSE, which is offering the venue, the hotels and some help with organization.
Check the report from last year to get an idea of what this event is about.
