[opensuse] Self-signed certificate not accepted

Hi, I'm not an expert in this area, but I've just setup a website on a remote server. The server admin has given me the ftp login details, but recommends I use ftps for file transfers. He requested me to use port 21. I am able to login with vanilla ftp, but ftps fails with an error... [...] Connected to xxx.org:21 220 Welcome to xxx's FTP for your site!

[opensuse] Watch out PHP changes
by Cristian Rodríguez 12 May '10

12 May '10

Hi: In the next security updates as well in openSUSE factory PHP no longer release the lock of previously locked files, neither automagically at shutdown nor at stream closing so (broken) code like: <?php $fp = fopen('foo.txt','wb'); flock($fp, LOCK_EX); /* write or do whatever with the locked file... */ fclose($fp); ?> Will no longer "unlock" the file in question. This is an upstream change to provide a sane/correct behaviour from now on but it might cause subtle issues. So, you have to explicetely flock($fp,LOCK_UN); before closing the file. Just keep an eye on this. Cheers. Cristian. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] kde 4.4.3 - firefox and thunderbird segfault - howto fix? Segmentation fault $MOZ_PROGRAM "$@"
by David C. Rankin 12 May '10

12 May '10

Listmates, After the latest 4.4.3 updates to kde, firefox and thunderbird refuse to start, instead they segfault. They act like they are going to start, then do nothing. So we send from opera today. Originally, I received a dcop error message that was strange: 10:36 alchemy:~> /usr/bin/iceauth: timeout in locking authority file /home/david/.ICEauthority ICE Connection rejected! DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed ICE Connection rejected! DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed DCOPServer self-test failed. So i deleted ~/.ICEauthority and restarted kde, and dcop ran fine. Why it failed to begin with -- who knows? Now, however, we have problems with mozilla firefox and thunderbird refusing to run. Looking through .xsession-errors, there are a few errors related to firefox or thunderbird. klauncher(4999) KRunMX2::expandEscapedMacro: No URLs supplied to single-URL service "firefox %u" kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/bin/firefox kwin(5011) KWin::Workspace::updateClientArea: screens: 1 desktops: 4 kwin(5011) KWin::Workspace::updateClientArea: Done. DCOP Cleaning up dead connections. /usr/bin/firefox: line 128: 5266 Segmentation fault $MOZ_PROGRAM "$@" For thunderbird, there is a painter error and similar segfault: kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/bin/thunderbird X11OpBitmap::GetPainter(): Painter exists /usr/bin/thunderbird: line 130: 5735 Segmentation fault $MOZ_PROGRAM "$@" (I don't think the GetPainter() error is a problem, there are a number in .xsession-errors for other apps that run fine.) So what gives? How do I get firefox and thunderbird back under kde4? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] moodle, apache+php and symlinks
by Roger Oberholtzer 12 May '10

12 May '10

I have installed Moodle from the OBS. (Moodle is a web-based education and test app written in PHP.) Most everything is working, except images. The images are installed by the OBS RPM in a directory called: /srv/www/moodle/pix and they are symlinks to other places in /srv/www/moodle. The links resolve correctly. So, I added this to my apache /etc/apache2/httpd.conf: <Directory "/srv/www/moodle"> Options +FollowSymlinks </Directory> and restart apache with "rcapache2 restart" Nonetheless, I see this in my apache error_log: [Wed May 12 14:31:23 2010] [error] [client 10.209.160.46] Symbolic link not allowed or link target not accessible: /srv/www/moodle/pix/docs.gif, referer: http://www.opq.se/moodle/theme/index.php?choose=afterburner&sesskey=whatever As the message is in error_log, I am guessing it is an apache thing and not a PHP thing. I have had issues with symlinks and apache in the past, and I am sure this is how I resolved it.

Both KDE and GNOME apps start susehelp instead of invoking their native help tools directly for better integration in the native session. /usr/bin/susehelp is a bash script which tries to start khelpcenter in a KDE login and yelp in a GNOME session. For some reason susehelp thinks you're in a KDE session when you are in GNOME and launches khelpcenter. I would try debugging susehelp. knotify was probably started by some KDE app, either one started manually or restored with your session. Looking at your process list will probably make you wiser.

[opensuse] openSUSE 11.2, kde 4.4.x pulseaudio
by Tony 12 May '10

12 May '10

I have 11.2, kde 4.4.x from factory and pulseaudio configured. Everything was working great in terms of the audio, after a recent update I believe from the factory kde4, kde4 itself no longer generates audio via pulseaudio. When I look at the pulse volume control I can see the audio stream (i.e. when I press test button under configure desktop > multimeda), however the audio stream meter shows nothing at all meaning the vu meter does not move at all, same applies for amarok or anything else, kde4 related, for example sounds from kopete. Yes all volumes are checked turned up etc. Now all over apps that I have configured to use pulse work great, firefox, google chrome, audacious, smplayer etc..... work just fine with pulse. Yes I know I could uninstall pulse but I like pulse, so would like to get it going again. Anyone else run into this ? A workaround ? A fix ?
