Novell Linux Client Auto launch

Hello I had a question about having the Novell Linux Client launch immediately after the user logs into their SLED system user their local user name and password. On NLD 9 desktops I was able to go into small launcher program (I cannot remember what it was called, sorry) and I could add the Novell Client to that launcher program. Then when the user logged into the NLD 9 desktop the Novell client for Linux would launch, and they could add in their user name and password for the NetWare servers, processing login scripts, etc. Does anyone know how that can be accomplished with SLED 10 SP2 or SLED 11? I have tried to add the Novell client to the system tray which is not exactly the same things that I am looking to accomplish. Also what is the Novell client version that should be used with both of those desktops? I am mainly using SLED 10 SP2 but I have started to work with SLED 11 thank you.

You want to add the Novell Login app to the startup, gnwlogin. The tray
app, ncl_tray, is started automatically.

SLED10 SP2: NCL 2.0 SP1
SLED11: NCL 2.0 SP2

Thank you very much Joe, I will be trying that tonight when I get home, that was a very helpful answer. I appreciate that.

Novell Linux Client, -E/--passenv environment variable?

Hi!
I've been experimenting with the Novell Client for Linux v1.2 on
SLED10. I have most of it working as intended.
Now I'd like to integrate with some scripts to do automatic logins. I
notice that in the help message (from 'nwlogin --help'), this
information is present:
-E, --passenv
pass password via environment variable
The same (almost, it only lists --passenv, not -E) goes for gnwlogin.
This looks like a very useful feature for script integration, but
unfortunately, I can't find any documentation on which environment
variable to use. The -E/--passenv parameter is also missing from the
nwlogin(1) manual page.
What environment variable should be used? Is this feature official, so
that I can rely on it being present in later versions of the client?
Thanks,
\EF

Machinarium - a new game with a Linux client

Machinarium is an indie adventure game written in Flash.
You steer a small robot through a wonderfully painted robot world. To get a feel of the game play, you can play Samorost, an earlier game by the developers, for free or try the demo.
To get the disclaimer out of the way: I've no affiliation to the developers, but I liked the game and pre-ordered after it won the Excellence In Visual Art competition at this year's IGF.
Yesterday I downloaded the client and started playing. It works nicely on my computer (1.6GHz C2D, 1GB, GMA950, Arch i686). The graphics are beautiful and the puzzles are so far (I played only the first section) on the same high level as Samorost 1+2.
According to the web site the game is only 32bit and needs a minimum resolution of 1024x768, with 1280x800 or higher recommended. The developers also recommend to disable flash hardware acceleration.
You can find more information and a demo at the website at http://www.machinarium.com/ , where you can also buy the game for $20.
P.S. I'm writing here because I believe in supporting developers who offer Linux versions of their games. I bought Penumbra, WoG, Prey and now Machinarium for this reason. If you like the game (there's a demo), please consider buying it to show your support for studios developing for Linux, too.

Mh, so far there has been one screen (kind of a plaza) where the game became sluggish and the fan got loud...the game itself is still a lot of fun and the puzzles are good and logical, although I managed to overlook an obvious switch and had to look at in-game help once.
I'm not sure you can say they support Linux development as it's designed for flash (a cross-environment program).
I agree that Linux support is probably not intentionally, but they saw the possibility and offer a Linux version on Launch day.
Linux gaming is in a very sorry state - just take a look at the still missing UT3 client or the sound problems with Prey. And these are games which are (were promised to be) supported - almost no developer cares about Linux as a platform.
I believe that when I buy the games of and talk about those few developers who do care about Linux, I might convince more developers that there's a market for Linux games.
When I pre-ordered Machinarium, I communicated clearly that I bought the game because they thought about offering a Linux client. I'm glad they did in the end. The same for Osmos - I pre-ordered the game (it's a very relaxing experience) and I pledged to buy it again when the Linux client is released.

Making an AIR auto launch swf

I have a client asking me to make an auto launch swf for their AIR app, which I did not develop. I modified their current AIRInstallBadge and it works fine, but now they want a swf on a page that will just auto launch it with no interaction. Basically a swf with no UI, invisible. Is that possible? I've tried the following with no success:
var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
var appID:String = validateString(paramObj.appid);
var pubID:String = validateString(paramObj.pubid);
var appLaunchArg:Array = validateString(paramObj.applauncharg) == null ? (null) : ([paramObj.applauncharg]);
var airSWF:Object;
var airSWFLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var AIR_SWF_URL:String = "http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/browserapi/air.swf";
airSWFLoader.load(new URLRequest(AIR_SWF_URL));
airSWFLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, handleAIRSWFError);
airSWFLoader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, handleAIRSWFInit);
function handleAIRSWFInit(event:Event) : void
     airSWF = airSWFLoader.content;
      airSWF.launchApplication(appID, pubID, appLaunchArg);
function handleAIRSWFError(event:IOErrorEvent) : void
    Text.text = "unable to load air.swf";
function validateString(param1:String) : String
return param1 == null || param1.length < 1 || param1.indexOf("<") >= 0 || param1.indexOf(">") >= 0 ? (null) : (param1);
I've tested and all parameters get loaded. I'm sure i'm missing some protocols or it's not possible for for security reasons. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam

Never mind, I just found the answer. Nope you can't do it.
The launchApplication() method can only operate when called in the event handler for a user event, such as a mouse click.

Centos Linux Client Help Needed

Hi,
Does anyone have a clear guide to setting up Centos Linux clients to use the same home folders and authentication as mac and MS Windows clients on Tiger Server please.
I have tried the LDAP tool in centos and put dc=myserver,dc=mydomain,dc=co,dc=uk in but it doesnt seem to authenticate at all, is there some other settings server side or some cn= parts I may need to add to the LDAP settings. If there is wheres the best place to obtain that info from the server?
I really would like this to be possible so I can replace the classroom windows machines with a thin client centos solution.
Many thanks

Hi Psyman,
we have a couple of servers running CentOS and authenticating their users against OD. Homes are mounted via nfs, though it shouldn't be a problem to do it via samba.
We have the client side as well the server side documented quite well I'd say, in a crude mixture of english and german though.
should you be interested in the whole thing or need help, mail me, fke at kesslernetworks dot de

Linux Clients - HTTPS

Hi,
I have an SCCM site which is fully secured with HTTPS. I now have a requirement to add Linux devices. I've looked at doing it with HTTPS but I would need to create a device certificate for every Linux device we have by hand, as there is no auto-enrollment
available.
I want to stick with HTTPS so what are my best options? Is it possible to deploy another MP which is not secured with HTTPS just for Linux clients or are there better options?
Thanks

That's right. It seems a bit extreme though for that small number of devices. Have you considered using NDES/SCEP to automate the Linux certificate install?
SCEP was developed to support the secure, scalable issuance of certificates to network devices by using existing certification authorities (CAs). Linux is just another device.

Client Auto-Update questions

We just updated our Dev system to SP5 with Patch 2, but the clients are not updating automatically.
I have checked that the Client and Admin boxes are checked for auto-update and can see nowhere else that this can be done.
I double-checked with the Master Install guide, and this appears to be the only thing that I need to do to make it work.
The clients are currently at 502, and they should now be 506.
Also, is this controlled by the files in C:\BPC\Websrvr\Web\Installation?
I have checked the live server (BPC 5.1 SP3) and the Dev server (BPC 5.1 SP5r2)
Both of them have EverestClient.exe and EverestAdmin.exe with version number 12.0.0.49974
Does that seem right? I would have expected an increment in version number.
Has anyone else seen this, and can you offer any advice?
Thanks
Craig

Here is an extract from the note:
It does not say about the Patch! sorry...
the note is 1269662
Summary
Symptom
The Client Auto Update feature does not work in 5.1 SP5.
Other terms
auto, update, client, upgrade, install
Reason and Prerequisites
This is due to unintended consequences of fixing IM 3569686 issue in SP5.
Solution
Remove the '<remove name="Documentation"/>' node from the web.config file located in the x:\bpc\websrvr\web directory and save.
Once all clients have been updated, add the node back to the file.

How do I stop iTunes from auto-launching when connecting iPod.

I have found one method of doing this set out below.
You may want to stop iTunes from auto-launching whenever you plug in your iPod. To do this, open iTunes, and select the iPod in the left-hand Source window. Four buttons will then appear in the lower right-hand corner of the iTunes window. Click the left-most button with the iPod icon on it. This will bring up the iPod Preferences dialog. Uncheck the option labeled "Open iTunes when attached." You probably also want to prevent iTunes from trying to automatically synchronize your iPod when you connect by selecting the "Manually manage songs and playlists" option in the same Preferences dialog.
I am unable to find the iPod icon in the left hand Source window, maybe if I connect my iPod an icon will appear, but I don't want to do this in case stuff is transferred between the iPod and Comp or vice versa.
Sorry to be so long winded, but it was difficult to explain without being so.
If any one knows of another way to do what I am trying to do
Perhaps they would let me know.
ASP Windows XP Pro

okay. in a 7.0.x, we no longer get the "ipod options" icon when the ipod is plugged in and selected in the sourcelist (the area to the left of the iTunes screen). instead, the ipod options and preferences display for us in the main library screen.
"Open iTunes when this ipod is connected" is kept down at the bottom of the "Summary" tab. (scroll down to the bottom of that tab to see everything under the "Options" heading.)
"manually manage music" (or "manually manage music and videos" if you've got a video-capable ipod) is also kept down at the bottom of the "Summary" tab in the Options area.
for a technique for connecting the ipod without automatically syncing (if you have an automatic syncing option set on the ipod already), and then changing the options to "manually manage music", see:
How to keep iTunes from automatically updating your iPod
unfortunately, that document is also written for itunes 6.0.x or earlier. so in your case the instructions under the "Now that you're logged in as the Guest user, it's time to get back to iTunes and your iPod:" section at steps 4, 5 and 6 should read:
4. Scroll down to the bottom of the Summary Tab
5. Check the "Manually manage music" checkbox.
6. Click "Apply".

New files and folders on a Linux client mounting a Windows 2012 Server for NFS share do not inherit Owner and Group when SetGID bit set

Problem statement
When I mount a Windows NFS service file share using UUUA and set the Owner and Group, and set the SetGID bit on the parent folder in a hierarchy. New Files and folders inside and underneath the parent folder do not inherit the Owner and Group permissions
of the parent.
I am given to understand from this Microsoft KnowledgeBase article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951716/en-gb) the problem is due to the Windows implmentation of NFS Services not supporting the Solaris SystemV or BSD grpid "Semantics"
However the article says the same functionality can acheived by using ACE Inheritance in conjunction with changing the Registry setting for "KeepInheritance" to enable Inheritance propagation of the Permissions by the Windows NFS Services.
1. The Precise location of the "KeepInheritance" DWORD key appears to have "moved" in Windows Server 2012 from a Services path to a Software path, is this documented somewhere? And after enabling it, (or creating it in the previous
location) the feature seems non-functional. Is there a method to file a Bug with Microsoft for this Feature?
2. All of the references on demonstrating how to set an ACE to achieve the same result "currently" either lead to broken links on Microsoft technical websites, or are not explicit they are vague or circumreferential. There are no plain Examples.
Can an Example be provided?
3. Is UUUA compatible with the method of setting ACE to acheive this result, or must the Linux client mount be "Mapped" using an Authentication source. And could that be with the new Flat File passwd and group files in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc
and is there an Example available.
Scenario:
Windows Server 2012 Standard
File Server (Role)

I'm making some "major" progress on this problem.
1. Apparently the "semantics" issue to honor SGID or grpid in NFS on the server side or the client side has been debated for some time. It also existed as of 2009 between Solaris nfs server and Linux nfs clients. The Linux community defaulted to declaring
it a "Server" side issue to avoid "Race" conditions between simultaneous access users and the local file system daemons. The client would have to "check" for the SGID and reformulate its CREATE request to specify the Secondary group it would have to "notice"
by which time it could have changed on the server. SUN declined to fix it.. even though there were reports it did not behave the same between nfs3 vs nfs4 daemons.. which might be because nfs4 servers have local ACL or ACE entries to process.. and a new local/nfs
"inheritance" scheme to worry about honoring.. that could place it in conflict with remote access.. and push the responsibility "outwards" to the nfs client.. introducing a race condition, necessitating "locking" semantics.
This article covers that discovery and no resolution - http://thr3ads.net/zfs-discuss/2009/10/569334-CR6894234-improved-sgid-directory-compatibility-with-non-Solaris-NFS-clients
2. A much Older Microsoft Knowledge Based article had explicit examples of using Windows ACEs and Inheritance to "mitigate" the issue.. basically the nfs client "cannot" update an ACE to make it "Inheritable" [-but-] a Windows side Admin or Windows User
[-can-] update or promote an existing ACE to "Inheritable"
Here are the pertinent statements -
"In Windows Services for UNIX 2.3, you can use the KeepInheritance registry value to set inheritable ACEs and to make sure that these ACEs apply to newly created files and folders on NFS shares."
"Note About the Permissions That Are Set by NFS Clients
The KeepInheritance option only applies ACEs that have inheritance enabled. Any permissions that are set by an NFS client will
only apply to that file or folder, so the resulting ACEs created by an NFS client will
not have inheritance set."
"So
If you want a folder's permissions to be inherited to new subfolders and files, you must set its permissions from the Windows NFS server because the permissions that are set by NFS clients only apply to the folder itself."
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;321049
3. I have set up a Windows 2008r2 NFS server and mounted it with a Redhat Enteprise Linux 5 release 10 x86_64 server [Oct 31, 2013] and so far this does appear to be the case.
4. In order to mount and then switch user to a non-root user to create subdirectories and files, I had to mount the NFS share (after enabling Anonymous AUTH_SYS mapping) this is not a good thing, but it was because I have been using UUUA - Unmapped Unix
User Access Mapping, which makes no attempt to "map" a Unix UID/GID set by the NFS client to a Windows User account.
To verify the Inheritance of additional ACEs on new subdirectories and files created by a non-root Unix user, on the Windows NFS server I used the right click properties, security tab context menu, then Advanced to list all the ACEs and looked at the far
Column reflecting if it applied to [This folder only, or This folder and Subdirectories, or This folder and subdirectories and files]
5. All new Subdirectories and files createdby the non-root user had a [Non-Inheritance] ACE created for them.
6. I turned a [Non-Inheritance] ACE into an [Inheritance] ACE by selecting it then clicking [Edit] and using the Drop down to select [This folder, subdirs and files] then I went back to the NFS client and created more subdirs and files. Then back to the
Windows NFS server and checked the new subdirs and folders and they did Inherit the Windows NFS server ACE! - However the UID/GID of the subdirs and folders remained unchanged, they did not reflect the new "Effective" ownership or group membership.
7. I "believe" because I was using UUUA and working "behind" the UID/GID presentation layer for the NFS client, it did not update that presentation layer. It might do that "if" I were using a Mapping mechanism and mapped UID/GID to Windows User SIDs and
Group SIDs. Windows 2008r2 no longer has a "simple" Mapping server, it does not accept flat text files and requires a Schema extension to Active Directory just to MAP a windows account to a UID/GID.. a lot of overhead. Windows Server 2012 accepts flat text
files like /etc/passwd and /etc/group to perform this function and is next on my list of things to see if that will update the UID/GID based on the Windows ACE entries. Since the Local ACE take precedence "over" Inherited ACEs there could be a problem. The
Inheritance appears to be intended [only] to retain Administrative rights over user created subdirs and files by adding an additional ACE at the time of creation.
8. I did verify from the NFS client side in Linux that "Even though" the UID/GID seem to reflect the local non-root user should not have the ability to traverse or create new files, the "phantom" NFS Server ACEs are in place and do permit the function..
reconciling the "view" with "reality" appears problematic, unless the User Mapping will update "effective" rights and ownership in the "view"

Front Row auto launches on login

Now why would that be? About 4-5 seconds after logging in my user, Leopard auto launches Front Row. Leopard is choosy in this regard, as it does not extend the same 'courtesy' for my wife's account or that of the sysadmin.
Anyone else seen this oddity and got a way out of it?
Cheers,
Nige.

Don't just uncheck the box next to the name of the program. Click on the program to select it, and then click on the - (minus) button below the list of programs to actually remove the program from your startup list.
It doesn't remove the program from the computer, just the startup list for that account. I use the + button to add programs like AddressBook, Mail, and iCal to my user account so that they automatically launch when I log in. You are just trying to remove a program from that list totally.

Help, iTunes refuses to not auto launch when iPhone connected to computer

Hi, anyone else have this obnoxious problem? I unchecked "auto syncing" and all of the possible disabling options in iTunes>Preferences. Another forum I visted mentioned disabling iTunes Helper. I am having a problem launching iTunes Helper because I did a search from the main Windows Start area (lower left of computer screen), and iTunes Helper does show up with a .exe extension showing it's an application. However, when I click on it, it just disappears. It's also not listed in "My Programs" or when I run "msconfig". Is finding iTunes Helper so I can disable it what I need here to keep iTunes from auto launching when the iPhone is connected, or is my solution in doing something else? I'm using iTunes 9.0.25 Any solid help here is much appreciated!

I don't have an iPhone but I imagine it is probably similar to using an iPod. When I connect the iPod to the computer and it shows up in iTunes under devices, click on the device (iPhone), in the device screen that appears there is an options section that has a check-box "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected." Un-check it.

TS1717 iTunes will not auto-launch like it used to on Win7. Also cannot start in SAFE mode

I've had this computer & this installation of iTunes for a very long time. It has always worked perfectly, and will auto-start every time I connect the iPhone. (my iPhone would light up and display the "Sync in Progress" message on its screen)
The last few times I've connected it (same phone, same cord, same USB port, same comp., same install of Win7, no Library changes, no new components, no AntiVirus changes - nothing different) iTunes will NOT launch, and the Sync wil not take place.
But...
If -- after connecting the iPhone -- I manually launch iTunes, it proceeds normally thru the various steps except that the iPhone does NOT display any messages on its screen. I've tried several times, and re-booted the comp several times. I've also followed the Apple T/S steps and deleted the two config files & re-booted. No difference.
Yes - the preferences are set to allow the Sync when I plug in the iPhone.
Yes - I am the only user.
Yes - I am using a working cable...into a working USB port.
No - I have no third party add-ons or extensions.
One odd thing:
On the many, many previous occasions that I've opened the list of Running Applications...iTunesHelper.exe has been opne of the various apps running on the computer. Lately that app has vanished from the list, and...
No - I have not un-checked it in the STARTUP list.

Well...I was partially-blind.
I had a second look at my MSCONFIG list...and 'waay down at the bottom was iTunesHelper...with its checkbox clear. oops.
I ticked it of course, and then manually launched iTunesHelper.exe and re-connected the iPhone. iTunes auto-launched, and (as usual) it stepped thru the various stages like it's supposed to, but still no pop-up message on the iPhone screen.
Now I'm wondering if that came to an end when I made the jump to the iPhone5 from iPhone4(?) because it certainly seems to be syncing alright...just no pop-up on the iPhone's screen.

Windows 7 x64 - iTunes no longer auto launches when I connect iPhone

Hi
Ok so i installed Windows 7 x64 and iTunes x64 but now iTunes no longer auto-launches when I connect my iPhone. My PC has no problems finding my iPhone, it does the camera bit and if I start iTunes manually it syncs the iPhone with no issues.
Does anyone know how I can get iTunes to auto launch again please?

+it does the camera bit+
I dont' think it's supposed to be doing this.
Maybe mindspan's post here will help you

After clicking to send/not send an error report, I get back to the desktop where all appears normal. However, I can no longer access the internet while logged in under this account.
I can log in on another PC with the domain admin account with no error.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I would like to suggest you run System File Checker with command: sfc /scannow to scan and repair the system files.
If it does not work, please also test the issue in Clean Boot.
Clean Boot
================
Let’s disable all startup items and third party services when booting. This method will help us determine if this issue is caused by a loading
program or service. Please perform the following steps:
1. Click the Start Button type "msconfig" (without quotation marks) in the Start Search box, and then press Enter.
Note: If prompted, please click Continue on the User Account Control (UAC) window.
2. Click the "Services" tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" box and click "Disable All" (if it is not gray).
3. Click the "Startup" tab, click "Disable All" and click "OK".
Then, restart the computer. When the "System Configuration Utility" window appears, please check the "Don't show this message or launch the System
Configuration Utility when Windows starts" box and click OK.
What’s the result in Clean Boot?
