Update-Related Notes
15
Starting with SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10, vsftpd can be configured independently or over the
xinetd. The default is stand-alone. In previous versions, the default was xinetd.
To run it over xinetd, make sure that the service is enabled in the xinetd configuration (
/etc/
xinetd.d/vsftpd
) and set the following line in
/etc/vsftpd.conf
:
listen=NO
• Setting Up D-BUS for Interprocess Communication in .xinitrc
Many applications now rely on D-BUS for interprocess communication (IPC). Calling dbus-launch
starts dbus-daemon. The systemwide
/etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc
uses
dbus-launch
to start
the window manager.
If you have a local
~/.xinitrc
file, you must change it accordingly. Otherwise applications might
fail. Save your old
~/.xinitrc
. Then copy the new template file into your home directory with:
cp /etc/skel/.xinitrc.template ~/.xinitrc
Finally, add your customizations from the saved
~/.xinitrc
.
• Modular KDB
KDB is no longer available as a loadable module on all architectures except Itanium. KDB is only
supported in the debug kernel.
• PCMCIA
cardmgr no longer manages PC cards. Instead, as with Cardbus cards and other subsystems, a kernel
module manages them. All necessary actions are executed by hotplug. The
pcmcia
start script has
been removed and cardctl is replaced by pccardctl. For more information, see
/usr/share/doc/
packages/pcmciautils/README.SUSE
.
