cpanel clone for openSUSE?
by jdd＠dodin.org 22 Aug '23

22 Aug '23

Hello, I have a professional hosting provider (o2switch) for most web services and an other (pcloud) for mass (2Tb) cloud storage. That said, not all is provided by these operators, for example agenda, notes and other cloud services of nextcloud are not built in pcloud, nor any service needing extra port opening like INN usenet server. I may also need house management server. so why I also have my own openSUSE server, since as long as I can remember. For some reasons not meaningful here, I have now a new server built on my ISP box/nat/server hardware, with openSUSE Tumbleweed. Until now I managed my server myself with yast and the CLI (no graphical interface here), but I aging and beginning to be lazy :-( With O2switch I have a complete cpanel/softaculous system I like a lot. I also tested Yunohost, but not only it's Debian based but very difficult to manage for any software not initially included (INN, pmwiki...). Most of the Cpanel clones I know of are Debian or Redhat oriented (webmin, floxlor...). Do you know of any cpanel clone openSUSE friendly? thanks jdd -- c'est quoi, usenet? http://www.dodin.org/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Usenet.Usenet

[oS-en] dovecot problem
by Carlos E. R. 20 Aug '23

20 Aug '23

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I notice this message (in my L15.5 laptop): 2023-08-13T14:05:41.043174+02:00 Laicolasse dovecot: imap(cer)<31114><85PAw8wCLJF/AAAB>: Error: fchown(/home/cer/Mail/.imap/INBOX, group=482(mail)) failed: Operation not permitted (egid=100(users), group based on /var/mail/cer - see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Errors/ChgrpNoPerm) I read the link, but I don't understand what I should do. Change Group Operation Not Permitted imap(user): Error: chown(/home/user/mail/.imap/INBOX, group=12(mail)) failed: Operation not permitted (egid=1000(user), group based on /var/mail/user - see https://doc.dovecot.org/admin_manual/errors/chgrp_no_perm/) This means that Dovecot tried to copy /var/mail/user file’s group (mail) to the index file directory it was creating (/home/user/mail/.imap/INBOX), but the process didn’t belong to the mail group, so it failed. This is important for preserving access permissions with Shared mailboxes. Group copying is done only when it actually changes the access permissions; for example with 0600 or 0666 mode the group doesn’t matter at all, but with 0660 or 0640 it does. To solve this problem you can do only one of two things: * If the group doesn’t actually matter, change the permissions so that the group isn’t copied (e.g. chmod 0600 /var/mail/*, see Mbox Mailbox Format). * Give the mail process access to the group (e.g. mail_access_groups=mail setting). However, this is dangerous. It allows users with shell access to read other users’ INBOXes. I don't understand why I have to change the permissions of /var/mail/*. Why should dovecot copy the group? Just don't copy it. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

XONAR STX-II sound card in Leap-15.5
by bent fender 20 Aug '23

20 Aug '23

I raised this here a while ago and received sympathy about an apparently problematic card as well as encouragment to do a bug report (which would be over my head). But I just took off into YastLand on a hunch and what do I find there if not a setup dialog. I'd been spoiled over the years by autodetection AND setup so it's now just back-to-the-ways-of-old with YAST, period. Works like a charm! Sidebar: I'm having a hsitload of issues with soundware ALL the time, see https://linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic.php?t=25728 A related question is "if I disable pulse does that truly and totally take it out of the equation until reboot"? How come the Pulse Audio Volume thingie continues breathing? Ref: "setup-pulseaudio --disable" TIA -- "The saddest sight, next to a battlefield lost, is a battlefield won" (actually: "Nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won".)

Hehe. Systemd is dependent on my computer being plugged in to the power outlet and turned on, so it needs a power-on service and a self-plug-in service. -- Robert Webb

[oS-EN] Thunderbird speller
by Carlos E. R. 17 Aug '23

17 Aug '23

Hi, If I enter the word whatsapp, it gets underlined in red. Right click on it, does not offer the correct spelling suggestion. However, if I correct it manually to WhatsApp, it is marked correct. The speller knows that WhatsApp is correct, but does not offer it. Why? This is a long standing bug, but I don't know if of Thunderbird or of the particular speller used in openSUSE Linux. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from Telcontar, using openSUSE Leap 15.4)

Tumbleweed update question
by Roger Oberholtzer 16 Aug '23

16 Aug '23

I am looking to svn dup my Tumbleweed install. It is currently at 20230729. Aside from the usual Python3 messiness, I see that it wants to remove things like grubby and liblockdev1. At least grubby sounds like a tool that might be used somewhere setting up the system. Should I allow it to remove such things? -- Roger Oberholtzer

leap 15.5 - has anyone successfully booted with root on NFS ?
by Per Jessen 13 Aug '23

13 Aug '23

I have just today dupped a 15.1 box to 15.5 - all went well, except it no longer boots. I have rebuilt the initrd a few times, and it keeps looking like the network is never set up after the kernel+initrd are loaded. I was just wondering if someone else might have tried this, with success? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (27.8°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes
