			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--adsense-->Capivara is a two pane file manager with remote synchronization support using SFTP and FTP. Capivara  synchronization adds features like comparing timestamps or SHA-1 hash values and has a preview mode to shos which files are going to be deleted or copied. Because Capivara is Java based and all it requries is a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) it can run on multiple platforms like Linux, Solaris, Unix, Solaris, Mac OSX and windows.</p>
<p><span id="more-1730"></span><br />
Features include,</p>
<blockquote><p><em>File synchronization with SFTP &amp; FTP support<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--adsense-->swap space is a dedicated device or a file in one of the mounted file systems to which the system swaps pages of information from the physical memory onto these areas to allow more current application use the physical memory when the physical memory is running out of space.</p>
<p><span id="more-1710"></span><br />
Let us see here how we can add a file within the File System as a swap area either temporarily to troubleshoot a performance issue or permanently (atleast until you add additional physical memory) to your system in SuSE and openSUSE.</p>
<p>First to start with, lets see how much of total memory we have on the system. This is the sum of Physical memory and any swap space already added to the system using the &#8220;free&#8221; command:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>opensuse11:~ # free -tom</strong><br />
total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached<br />
Mem:           998        973         24          0         20        795<br />
Swap:          739          0        739<br />
Total:        1738        973        764</p></blockquote>
<p>Here we have 739MB of swap and none of which is used at the moment. To see the swap device or file which provides this 739MB</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>opensuse11:~ # swapon -s</strong><br />
Filename                                Type            Size    Used    Priority<br />
/dev/mapper/system-swap                 partition       757752  0       -1<br />
/swap_1                                 file            999992  0       -2</p></blockquote>
<p>Now, lets say the system is really stressed and is running out of memory (ofcourse not the case here on my system) and we decide to quickly add a big 1Gigabyte file as a temporary swap area. We need to first create thios big monstreous 1Gigabyte file.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>opensuse11:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/swap_1 bs=1024 </strong>count=1000000<br />
1000000+0 records in<br />
1000000+0 records out<br />
1024000000 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 28.7256 s, 35.6 MB/s</p></blockquote>
<p>We use the DD command to create the 1G file basically writing &#8220;0&#8243; into the file swap_1 in the &#8220;/&#8221; file system.</p>
<p>Now, the file is ready and we shall make it a swap area.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>opensuse11:~ # mkswap /swap_1</strong><br />
Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 999996 KiB<br />
no label, UUID=4aada58e-d6f7-4053-adf1-8d4c79122d36</p></blockquote>
<p>That sets up the file as a swap area.</p>
<p>Now, we&#8217;ll simply enable the swapfile so that the system can start paging physical memory pages onto it.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>opensuse11:~ # swapon /swap_1</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Thats it. The system should now have an additional 1Gigabyte of swap area. Let&#8217;s see if it is true.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>opensuse11:~ # free -tom</strong><br />
total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached<br />
Mem:           998        973         24          0         20        795<br />
Swap:         1716          0       1716<br />
Total:        2714        973       1741</p></blockquote>
<p>It is&#8230;We now have 1.7Gigabytes of swap area as against to 739MB we originally had.</p>
<p>To confirm the swap areas we have</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>opensuse11:~ # swapon -s</strong><br />
Filename                                Type            Size    Used    Priority<br />
/dev/mapper/system-swap                 partition       757752  0       -1<br />
/swap_1                                 file            999992  0       -2</p></blockquote>
<p>While this provides the swap space required for the system almost instantly, if you happen to reboot your SuSE server or your openSUSE system then this swap space won&#8217;t be available for the system. To make it permanent, we need to add an entry to the /etc/fstab file as follows:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>/swap_1     swap                 swap       defaults              0 0</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Where <em><strong>/swap_1 </strong></em>is our new swap file and it instructs the system to mount it at system startup as a swap area.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--adsense--><strong>Kdenliv</strong>e free open-source non-linear video editor for KDE. Kdenlive is an intuitive and powerful multi-track video editor, including most recent video technologies. It relies on a separate renderer, piave, to handle it&#8217;s rendering. Kdenlive is easy to use for all levels of users from novice to advanced video editors. Kdenlive is built upon MLT and ffmpeg frameworks, which provide unique features to mix virtually any kind of media.<br />
<span id="more-1314"></span><br />
Some of the powerful features of Kdenlive include,</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Support for a wide range of camcorders and cameras, including:</em></p>

4. Professional camcorders, including XDCAM-HD™ streams, IMX™ (D10) streams, DVCAM (D10) , DVCAM, DVCPRO™, DVCPRO50™ streams and DNxHD™ streams (decoding only, encoding untested). Please note that Kdenlive does not offer the original codecs, but only that we use FFmpeg free software codecs, which can read original streams and sometimes export as well. When you own a camcorder, there is no reason why you should not be able to read your own films.</em></p>
<p><em>Multitrack edition with a timeline and unlimited number of video and audio tracks.</em></p>
<p><em>Video and audio tracks organized in layers.</em></p>
<p><em>Tools to create, move, crop and delete video clips, audio clips, text clips and image clips.</em></p>

<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1320" title="kde4-kdenlive6" src="http://www.susegeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/kde4-kdenlive6-300x191.png" alt="kde4-kdenlive6" width="300" height="191" /> <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1321" title="kde4-kdenlive7" src="http://www.susegeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/kde4-kdenlive7-300x191.png" alt="kde4-kdenlive7" width="300" height="191" /></p>
<p>This takes you through a wizard to set your defaults. This can however can be configured later from <em><strong>&#8220;Settings &#8211; Configure Kdenlive&#8221;</strong></em></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1322" title="kde4-kdenlive8" src="http://www.susegeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/kde4-kdenlive8-300x298.png" alt="kde4-kdenlive8" width="300" height="298" /></p>
<p>Once wizard finishes, kdenlive launches with multiple easy to understand panels. A good explanation is available <strong><a title="Kdenlive - Quick start guide" href="http://kdenlive.org/user-manual/quickstart-guide/kdenlive-first-project" target="_blank">here</a></strong> at the project website. This page is also a quick start guide for you to get started in less than few minutes.</p>

<p>Kdenlive is a real mature video editing software which can be used by anyone from dummies (like me <img src='http://www.susegeek.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> ) to geeky advanced video editors. <strong><a title="Kdenlive project homepage" href="http://kdenlive.org" target="_blank">Click here</a></strong> for the project homepage.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--adsense-->After installing Sun Java SE 6, you may find problems in unmounting the fuser control filesystem and mounted Windows Filesystems (NTFS) at system shutdown time. You may encounter the following error when the system tries to shutdown and unmount the file systems:</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Can&#8217;t locl lock file /etc/mtab~: timed out<br />
&#8230;</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>&#8230;</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>ntfs-3g: unknown option &#8216;-n&#8217;.<br />
Please type &#8216;/sbin/mount.ntfs-3g &#8211;help&#8217; for more information</strong></span></p></blockquote>
<p><strong><span id="more-1260"></span><br />
</strong>This seems to be caused by the jexec service installed by Java SE 6.</p>
<blockquote><p>opensuse11:/var/log # ps -ef | grep jexec<br />
root      2304  2298  0 23:31 ?        00:00:00 /bin/sh /etc/init.d/jexec start<br />
root      2315  2304  0 23:31 ?        00:00:00 /bin/sh /etc/init.d/jexec start<br />
root      2316  2315  0 23:31 ?        00:00:00 /bin/sh /etc/init.d/jexec start<br />
root      4738     1  0 23:36 ?        00:00:00 /bin/sh /etc/init.d/jexec start<br />
root      4739  4738  0 23:36 ?        00:00:00 /bin/sh /etc/init.d/jexec start<br />
root      4740  4739  0 23:36 ?        00:00:00 /bin/sh /etc/init.d/jexec start</p></blockquote>
<p>To resolve the problem, disable this service as follows:</p>
<p>Open YaST from <em><strong>Applications &#8211; Computer &#8211; YaST</strong></em> menu.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1261" title="systemservices" src="http://www.susegeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/systemservices.png" alt="systemservices" width="690" height="465" /></p>
<p>In the left pane, click <em><strong>System  and then System Services (Run Level)</strong></em><br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1262" title="jexec" src="http://www.susegeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/jexec.png" alt="jexec" width="906" height="630" /></p>
<p>From the list look for <em><strong>jexec</strong></em> and select then click <em><strong>Disable</strong></em>. This should disable the service and fix the shutdown problem.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--adsense--><strong>Krusader</strong> is an advanced twin panel (commander style) file manager for KDE and other desktops in the *nix world, similar to Midnight or Total Commander. It provides all the file management features you could possibly want with features like extensive archive handling, mounted filesystem support, FTP, advanced search module, an internal viewer/editor, directory synchronisation, file content comparisons, powerful batch renaming and much much more. It supports a wide variety of archive formats and can handle other KIO slaves such as smb or fish. It is (almost) completely customizable, very user friendly, fast and looks great on your desktop! You should give it a try.</p>
<p><span id="more-970"></span><br />
Features include,</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Two powerful and easy to use panels and support several panels via popup</em></p>
<p><em>Command Line and optional Terminal emulator below.</em></p>
<p><em>Strong keyboard orientation and the ability to perform all functions without the mouse.</em></p>
<p><em>Context-dependent invocation of scripts and programs</em></p>
<p><em>Virtual file systems (VFS) for e.g. Remote Connections, archives, search results, synchronizer.</em></p>
<p><em>Remote Connections : FTP/SAMBA with SFTP/SCP support via KIOSlaves</em></p>
<p><em>Synchronize Directories, Mount-Manager to mount/unmount Filesystems</em></p>
<p><em>Launch with Root privileges</em></p>
<p><em>Archive Handling: browsing, unpack, pack, testing.</em></p>
<p><em>Checksum creation-verification mechanism that supports md5, sha1, sha256, sha224, sha256, sha384, sha512, tiger, whirlpool, cfv and crc.</em></p>
<p><em>Calculate occupied space of files and folders, archives and remote filesystems.</em></p>
<p><em>Completely supports drag&#8217;n'drop: drag from Konqueror straight into a .tar.gz file, from Krusader&#8217;s panel into the trash-bin, the desktop or into Konqueror</em></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Install Krusader in openSUSE</strong></span></p>

<p>You can see all the most elegant features of Krusader are available on the Toolbar and you can also the Function keys for various actions to allow you to have a mouse free experience.<br />
<a href="http://www.susegeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/krusader12.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-982" title="krusader12" src="http://www.susegeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/krusader12-300x179.png" alt="Krusader home" width="300" height="179" /></a><br />
You can drag n Drop files between the two panels where there can be two different directories. You can swap the panels with the directories, compare and synchronize the directories.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--adsense--><strong>rsnapshot</strong> is a filesystem backup utility based on rsync. Using rsnapshot, it is possible to take snapshots of your filesystems at different points in time. Using hard links, rsnapshot creates the illusion of multiple full backups, while only taking up the space of one full backup plus differences. When coupled with ssh, it is possible to take snapshots of remote filesystems as well.</p>
<p><span id="more-934"></span><br />
rsnapshot is written in Perl, and depends on rsync. OpenSSH, GNU cp, GNU du, and the BSD logger program are also recommended, but not required. rsnapshot is written with the lowest common denominator in mind. It only requires at minimum Perl 5.004 and rsync. As a result of this, it works on pretty much any UNIX-like system you care to throw at it.</p>
<p>rsnapshot can run almost out of the box with very little configuration changes although advanced configurations can be done with little more effort.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Install rsnapshot<br />
</strong></span><br />
rsnapshot can be installed using one of the following 1-click installs based on your openSUSE version.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>openSUSE 11.0</strong></span></p>
<p><a title="1-click install for rsnapshot in openSUSE 11.0" href="http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/Archiving:Backup/openSUSE_11.0/rsnapshot.ymp" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-935" title="oneclick" src="http://www.susegeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/oneclick.png" alt="" width="162" height="46" /></a></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>openSUSE 10.3</strong></span></p>
<p><a title="1-click install for rsnapshot in openSUSE 10.3" href="http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/Archiving:Backup/openSUSE_10.3/rsnapshot.ymp" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-935" title="oneclick" src="http://www.susegeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/oneclick.png" alt="" width="162" height="46" /></a></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>openSUSE 10.2</strong></span></p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>SuSE 10.0</strong></span></p>
<p><a title="1-click install for rsnapshot in SuSE 10.0" href="http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/Archiving:Backup/SLE_10/rsnapshot.ymp" target="_blank"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-935" title="oneclick" src="http://www.susegeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/oneclick.png" alt="" width="162" height="46" /></a><br />
This should download the YaST MetaPackage file (YMP) and launch the YaST Package manager for installation. Click next on the window showing the selected repositories and next again on the package selection window and finally click Next on the installation proposal window. This should add the required repositories (click import when prompted to import the GPG Keys) and install rsnapshot and required dependencies. Click Finish when the installation is completed succesfully.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.susegeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/rsnapshot3.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-938" title="rsnapshot3" src="http://www.susegeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/rsnapshot3-300x208.png" alt="" width="300" height="208" /></a> <a href="http://www.susegeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/rsnapshot4.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-939" title="rsnapshot4" src="http://www.susegeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/rsnapshot4-300x208.png" alt="" width="300" height="208" /></a></p>
<p>This should install <em><strong>rsnapshot</strong></em> and <em><strong>rsnapshot-diff</strong></em> under <strong>/usr/bin/</strong>.</p>
<p>The configuration file is rsnapshot.conf as <em><strong>/etc/rsnapshot.conf </strong></em>.  Edit the configuration file using your favorite editor like &#8220;vi&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>opensuse11:~ # vi /etc/rsnapshot.conf</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>To get you quickly started, we shall accept the defaults except the following values:</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Snapshot Root directory:</strong></span></p>
<p>You can set a directory to be the default root for all snapshots to be stored. This will be owned only by root. The permissions on this are &#8220;700&#8243; meaning no one other than the owner (root) can access the directory. The default is /.snapshots/</p>
<p>To change this look for the line</p>
<blockquote><p><em><strong>snapshot_root    /.snapshots/</strong></em></p></blockquote>
<p>and change it to according to your needs.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Intervals</span></strong></p>
<p>Now, look for the lines</p>
<blockquote><p><em><strong>#interval       hourly  6<br />
#interval        daily   7<br />
#interval        weekly  4<br />
#interval       monthly 3</strong></em></p></blockquote>
<p>The number against the hourly/daily/weekly/monthly indicates the number of snapshots for the specified time lines. Set the number of snapshots accordingly and add/remove &#8220;#&#8221; from the lines as per your need. Let&#8217;s say we run hourly backups, everytime hourly backup is run, it creates a directory hourly.0,1,2&#8230;6 and moves the contents from hourly.0 to hourly.1 hourly.1 to hourly.2 etc. This means hourly.0 has the most recent snapshot. When a daily backup is run, hourly.5 is copied to daily.0 just keeps the chain moving up. Once, the number of snapshots for the timeline is reached (ex: hourly has reached say 6, it will remove the oldest image. Given that rsnapshot uses hardlinks unless the files changes, a snapshot for the file is made and everything else will be a hardlink.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Include/Exclude files</strong></span></p>
<p>Include &amp; Exclude files from the selected the filesystems using the lines<br />
<strong><em>&#8220;include&#8221;</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>&#8220;exclude&#8221;<br />
</em></strong><br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Backup Points</strong></span></p>
<p>Here we choose the File systems that needs to be backed up. Look for the lines</p>
<blockquote><p><em><strong>backup  /home/          localhost/<br />
#backup /etc/           localhost/<br />
#backup /usr/local/     localhost/</strong></em></p></blockquote>
<p>Use these to select the file systems to be backed up. For every file system to be backed up, use a seperate line. Also, remote systems can be backed up by using the above. For example,</p>
<blockquote><p><em><strong>backup root@example.com:/etc/  example.com/    exclude=mtab,exclude=core</strong></em></p></blockquote>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Pre/Post scripts</span></strong></p>
<p>You can also run custom scripts before and/or after the snapshots are taken. The lines</p>
<blockquote><p><em><strong>#cmd_preexec    /path/to/preexec/script</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>#cmd_postexec   /path/to/postexec/script</strong></em></p></blockquote>
<p>Remove the &#8220;#&#8221; command and specify the script to be run.</p>
<p>Save the file and we are good to go. For more options do a</p>
<blockquote><p><em><strong>opensuse11:~ # man rsnapshot</strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong></strong>and<strong></strong></em></p>
<p><em><strong>opensuse11:~ # man rsync</strong></em></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Test Configuration</strong></span></p>
<p>Without creating any snapshots simply test the configuration as follows:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>opensuse:~ # rsnapshot -t configtest</strong><br />
Syntax OK</p></blockquote>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Run rsnapshot</strong></span></p>
<p>Creating a snapshot can&#8217;t be any easy than this.</p>
<p>To run a hourly snapshot run</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>opensuse11:~ # rsnapshot hourly</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>To run a daily snapshot</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>opensuse11:~ # rsnapshot daily</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>To run a monthly</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>opensuse11:~ # rsnapshot monthly</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>if you want to see, what it does use the &#8220;-v&#8221; switch,</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>opensuse:/home/saibaba/Desktop # rsnapshot -v daily</strong><br />
<em>echo 11283 &gt; /var/run/rsnapshot.pid<br />
mv /.snapshots/daily.2/ /.snapshots/daily.3/<br />
mv /.snapshots/daily.1/ /.snapshots/daily.2/<br />
mv /.snapshots/daily.0/ /.snapshots/daily.1/<br />
mkdir -m 0755 -p /.snapshots/daily.0/<br />
/usr/bin/rsync -a &#8211;delete &#8211;numeric-ids &#8211;relative &#8211;delete-excluded \<br />
&#8211;link-dest=/.snapshots/daily.1/localhost/ /home \<br />
/.snapshots/daily.0/localhost/<br />
touch /.snapshots/daily.0/<br />
rm -f /var/run/rsnapshot.pid</em></p></blockquote>
<p>You can see the snapshots in the root directory:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>opensuse:/.snapshots # ls -l</strong><br />
<em>total 28<br />
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct  4 22:09 daily.0<br />
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct  4 20:33 daily.1<br />
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct  4 20:18 daily.2<br />
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct  4 20:15 daily.3<br />
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct  4 20:05 hourly.0<br />
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct  4 20:03 hourly.1<br />
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Oct  4 20:02 hourly.2</em></p></blockquote>
<p>To check the disk space usage</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>opensuse:/.snapshots # rsnapshot du localhost/home/</strong><br />
<em>152M    /.snapshots/daily.0/localhost/home/<br />
75M     /.snapshots/daily.1/localhost/home/<br />
9.7M    /.snapshots/daily.2/localhost/home/<br />
9.6M    /.snapshots/daily.3/localhost/home/<br />
246M    total</em></p></blockquote>
<p><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Restore Data</strong></span></em></p>
<p>Restoring data is failry straight forward as the files are available under the snapshot root. The one thing to remember is that only &#8220;root&#8221; owns the directory and no one else can access the files. You need to restore files as root.</p>
<p>While this is understandable as a measure of security, in instances where there is a requirement to allow users to restore there files, it can be done as either mounting the snapshoot root as NFS share or a SAMBA share as a Read-Only file system.</p>
<p><strong>rsnapshot </strong>is simple and very effective to use. <a title="rsnapshot homepage" href="http://www.rsnapshot.org" target="_blank">Click here</a> for more information from the project homepage.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--adsense-->When you accept the defaults for the Boot Loader in openSUSE at the time of installation, it will include the default openSUSE boot option, a failsafe boot option for openSUSE, a Floppy disk boot option and if you are dual-booting your openSUSE with Windows or if there is any WIndows partition on your system then they are all included by default.</p>
<p><span id="more-909"></span><br />
However, this may particularly may not look good for the boot menu or the fact some of these are not necessary. For instance, I had 3 Windows Partitions and the GRUB boot loader add all these to the menu and then I do not have a floppy drive on my laptop and the means I do not need the floppy disk boot option. We can remove these entries or edit the entries like changing names, move up or down in the order of listing or advanced editing like password protection or activating the partition when selected for boot etc in openSUSE.</p>
<p>Be aware that editing these settings should be done with care or otherwise can result in system failing to boot.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--adsense-->The Linux Kernel offers you something that allows you to recover your system from a crash or at the least lets you to perform a proper shutdown using the Magic SysRq Keys. The magic SysRq key is a select key combination in the Linux kernel which allows the user to perform various low level commands regardless of the system&#8217;s state using the SysRq key. It is often used to recover from freezes, or to reboot a computer without corrupting the filesystem.</p>
<p><span id="more-904"></span><br />
The magic Sysrq key basically has a key combination of <strong>&lt;ALT&gt; + &lt;SysRq or Prnt Scrn&gt; + &lt;Command key&gt;</strong>.</p>
<p>The command key can be one of the following providing a specific functionality</p>
<blockquote><p><em><strong>&#8216;b&#8217;</strong> &#8211; Will immediately reboot the system without syncing or unmounting your disks.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>&#8216;c&#8217;</strong> &#8211; Will perform a kexec reboot in order to take a crashdump.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>&#8216;d&#8217;</strong> &#8211; Shows all locks that are held.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>&#8216;e&#8217;</strong> &#8211; Send a SIGTERM to all processes, except for init.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>&#8216;f&#8217;</strong> &#8211; Will call oom_kill to kill a memory hog process.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>&#8216;g&#8217;</strong> &#8211; Used by kgdb on ppc and sh platforms.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>&#8216;h&#8217;</strong> &#8211; Will display help (actually any other key than those listed here will display help. but &#8216;h&#8217; is easy to remember <img src='http://www.susegeek.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </em></p>
<p><em><strong>&#8216;i&#8217;</strong> &#8211; Send a SIGKILL to all processes, except for init.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>&#8216;k&#8217;</strong> &#8211; Secure Access Key (SAK) Kills all programs on the current virtual console. NOTE: See important comments below in SAK section.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>&#8216;m&#8217;</strong> &#8211; Will dump current memory info to your console.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>&#8216;n&#8217;</strong> &#8211; Used to make RT tasks nice-able</em></p>
<p><em><strong>&#8216;o&#8217;</strong> &#8211; Will shut your system off (if configured and supported).</em></p>
<p><em><strong>&#8216;p&#8217;</strong> &#8211; Will dump the current registers and flags to your console.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>&#8216;q&#8217;</strong> &#8211; Will dump a list of all running timers.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>&#8216;r&#8217;</strong> &#8211; Turns off keyboard raw mode and sets it to XLATE.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>&#8216;s&#8217;</strong> &#8211; Will attempt to sync all mounted filesystems.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>&#8216;t&#8217;</strong> &#8211; Will dump a list of current tasks and their information to your console.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>&#8216;u&#8217;</strong> &#8211; Will attempt to remount all mounted filesystems read-only.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>&#8216;v&#8217;</strong> &#8211; Dumps Voyager SMP processor info to your console.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>&#8216;w&#8217;</strong> &#8211; Dumps tasks that are in uninterruptable (blocked) state.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>&#8216;x&#8217;</strong> &#8211; Used by xmon interface on ppc/powerpc platforms.</em></p>
<p><em><strong>&#8217;0&#8242;-&#8217;9&#8242;</strong> &#8211; Sets the console log level, controlling which kernel messages will be printed to your console. (&#8217;0&#8242;, for example would make it so that only emergency messages like PANICs or OOPSes would make it to your console.)</em></p></blockquote>
<p>The most useful combination is the <em><strong>&lt;ALT&gt;+&lt;SysRq or Prnt Scrn&gt; + R-E-I-S-U-B</strong></em></p>
<p>The above basically means while you Press and Hold &lt;ALT&gt;+&lt;SysRq or Prnt Scrn&gt; Press R, E, I, S, U, B giving sufficient time between each of these key to ensure they perform the required job.</p>
<p><strong>REISUB</strong> will</p>
<blockquote><p><em>* Release the Keyboard of the XServer control (in the event your XServer crashes)</em></p>
<p><em>* Try to gratiously shutdown processes (SIGTERM)</em></p>
<p><em>* Forcibly shutsdown the processes (SIGKILL)</em></p>
<p><em>* Sync the mounted File Systems immediatly</em></p>
<p><em>* Umount the mounted File Systems</em></p>
<p><em>* Reboot the system</em></p></blockquote>
<p>This could avert or atleast reduce the impact of system crashes.</p>
<p>Magic SysRq key is not enabled by default in openSUSE.</p>
<p>To enable SysRq in openSUSE, click <strong>Computer and YaST</strong>.<br />
<a href="http://www.susegeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/sysrq1.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-905" title="sysrq1" src="http://www.susegeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/sysrq1-300x184.png" alt="" width="300" height="184" /></a><br />
Click <strong>System and Kernel Settings</strong>.<br />
<a href="http://www.susegeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/sysrq2.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-906" title="sysrq2" src="http://www.susegeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/sysrq2-300x208.png" alt="" width="300" height="208" /></a><br />
Click the <strong>Kernel Settings</strong> tab and place a tick in &#8220;<strong>Enable SysRq Keys</strong>&#8221; and click <strong>Finish</strong>.</p>
<p>Alterntaively, click System &#8211; &#8220;<strong>/etc/sysconfig editor</strong>&#8220;.  Navigate down to &#8220;<strong>System &#8211; Kernel &#8211; ENABLE_SYSRQ</strong>&#8221; and set it to &#8220;Yes&#8221; and click Finish.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.susegeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/sysrq3.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-907" title="sysrq3" src="http://www.susegeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/sysrq3-300x184.png" alt="" width="300" height="184" /></a> <a href="http://www.susegeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/sysrq4.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-908" title="sysrq4" src="http://www.susegeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/sysrq4-300x208.png" alt="" width="300" height="208" /></a></p>
<p>Another option would be to edit the</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>/etc/sysctl.conf file and add &#8220;kernel.sysrq = 1&#8243;</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>or edit</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>/etc/sysconfig/sysctl and set ENABLE_SYSRQ=&#8221;yes&#8221;</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>To temporarily enable SysRq at runtime,</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>opensuse11:~ # echo &#8220;1&#8243; &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>To disable</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>opensuse11:~ # echo &#8220;0&#8243; &gt; /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>The possible values you can pass are</p>
<blockquote><p>0: disable sysrq completely<br />
1: enable all functions of sysrq<br />
&gt;1 bitmask of allowed sysrq functions:</p>
<p>2 &#8211; enable control of console logging level<br />
4 &#8211; enable control of keyboard (SAK, unraw)<br />
8 &#8211; enable debugging dumps of processes etc.<br />
16 &#8211; enable sync command<br />
32 &#8211; enable remount read-only<br />
64 &#8211; enable signalling of processes (term, kill, oom-kill)<br />
128 &#8211; allow reboot/poweroff<br />
256 &#8211; allow nicing of all RT tasks</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><!--adsense-->We recently saw <a title="Google Chrome in Linux" href="http://www.susegeek.com/internet-browser/google-chrome-googles-opensource-browser-in-opensuse/" target="_self">here</a> how to install and use Google Chrome web browser using Wine. Obviously not the best user experience considering the errors that occured or the installation procedure. However, the geeks at Codeweavers have developed CrossOver Chromium based on the opensource Chromium project which is the basis of the Google Chrome browser. CrossOver Chromium uses Wine to run Chromium Browser.</p>
<p><span id="more-893"></span><br />
Trying to evaluate Google Chrome on Linux is much better I should say if you try using CrossOver Chromium than our previous manual installation from Windows installers on top of Wine.</p>
<p>There is a RPM package available for SuSE which works absolutely fine on openSUSE as well (tested on openSUSE 11.0).</p>
<p><a title="CrossOver Chromium Download" href="http://media.codeweavers.com/pub/crossover/chromium/cxchromium-0.9.0-1.i386.rpm" target="_self">Click here</a> to download the installer. If you would like to download from a Terminal Window then</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>opensuse11:~ # wget http://media.codeweavers.com/pub/crossover/chromium/cxchromium-0.9.0-1.i386.rpm</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Once downloaded, install as follows:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>opensuse11:~ # yast2 -i cxchromium-0.9.0-1.i386.rpm</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>This should install CrossOver Chromium and its uninstaller under <em><strong>Applications &#8211; CrossOver Chroium</strong></em><br />
<a href="http://www.susegeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/cxchromium1.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-894" title="cxchromium1" src="http://www.susegeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/cxchromium1-245x300.png" alt="" width="245" height="300" /></a> <a href="http://www.susegeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/cxchromium2.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-895" title="cxchromium2" src="http://www.susegeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/cxchromium2-245x300.png" alt="" width="245" height="300" /></a><br />
Start CxChromium and its Chromium or Google Chrome for you. Nice and neat to install and use.<br />
<a href="http://www.susegeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/cxchromium3.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-896" title="cxchromium3" src="http://www.susegeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/cxchromium3-300x223.png" alt="" width="300" height="223" /></a><br />
