Kiwi-LTSP and ZIMBRA

English Network/Internet

Hi,
I am new to this forum and to Opensuse. I come to this forum from the Mac and Ubuntu platforms. I also have had experience with Windows. My question is:

A. I was following the Kiwi-LTSP install manual at:

LTSP Quickstart - openSUSE

  1. I don’t have a firewall, so how do I define the card.

  2. when I run the command:

Code:
kiwi-ltsp-setup -c

in terminal, I get the error that I am not “Root” even though for every other “Root” task, simply using “su” is fine.

B. I am trying to install Zimbra from the guide at:

Installing ZCS 5.0.x on openSUSE 10.3 a complete guide - Zimbra - Forums

  1. I don’t understand how to remove or disable the programs the author indicates via the command line.

  2. I have a dinamic IP address. What do I have to change to make my computer use the dns server with EveryDNS.net?

Thanks for your help,
Alex,

You really should make two threads out of that. As for kiwi-ltsp, there is a mailing list and the Novell authors are on that and can probably tell you right away. But have you tried su - instead of plain su?

Hi,

Thanks. Using “su -” worked great. I think it auto detected my card anyway. Thanks a lot.

Thanks for listening,
Alex,

As a side note for others, ‘su -’ allows the su command to inherit the root
environment variables whereas simple ‘su’ retains the current user
environment. Sometimes makes a big difference depending on the
requirements of the application. Thus ‘su’ and ‘su -’ are not the same.
