[opensuse] Trying OpenSuse 12.3, but Apache's httpd server only partly works
by Ted Byers 28 Mar '13

28 Mar '13

I have done the usual things to enable SSL on this virtual machine. The intent for this machine is to test ideas regarding the usage of apache's web server on Suse 12.3, and while "http://localhost/info.php" works, and in fact it tells me that mod_ssl is loaded. Perhaps I should modify that statement to read that I did the things I usually do on Windows and Ubuntu: an on those platforms, these things (ports open inthe firewall, virtual hosts created using the certificates I'd specified, ensuring that mod_ssl is loaded, &c.) were enough to get successful tests of SSL (the first of which was to use mod_rewrite to force all unencrypted requests to be made again using https - of course, this is domain/location specific). NB: These things also seemed to be sufficient on Opensuse 12.1 However, the server, when accessed using "https://localhost:443/info.php" gives me an error saying the host is unreachable. I ran /usr/bin/gensslcert to create a dummy certificate, and related files, again for testing purposes only (and using dolphin, I see the files it is supposed to create, and with the timestamp that is rational given the time I ran it. I made an ssl virtual host, and set the righ t file names for the certificates, as well as the proper document root. And I made sure that the firewall permits access both on port 80 for http and port 443 for https. Apache's error log actually tells me nothing (there are no errors in it, from the time I first installed and started httpd. Does anyone have any ideas as to why SSL may fail on this platform? Or does anyone have a checklist as to what to verify regarding apache's httpd server properly serving pages over https on opensuse 12.3?

[opensuse] Firefox bookmarks transferring question
by Thomas Taylor 28 Mar '13

28 Mar '13

Is there an easy/simple method of transferring a single bookmarks folder from one PC to another? I have a large bookmark system on my main PC that has over 45 main folders with many sub-folders in most of them. If I want to copy only one or two sub-folders to another system I have not been able to find a way to do that in the drop-down menus. I don't want to backup the entire *.json file and import it as that would overwrite an existing bookmark list. For instance, I have the following bookmarks: Linux Fedora openSuSE BSD Personal hobbies ham_Radio … If I only want to copy the openSuSE sub-folder from machine "A" to machine "C", how is that done. I don't have enough knowledge of html formats to edit them nor of json files. Of course I could just copy the URL for each entry, open that page on the receiving machine, and then bookmark it but there may be up to 100 entries in a sub-folder and each sub-folder may have many sub-sub-folders and so on. Is there an easy export/import method of doing this? Thanks, Tom -- "Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty."

[opensuse] OS 12.3 on Mac Powerbook: No wireless
by Daniel Bauer 27 Mar '13

27 Mar '13

Hello I just installed OS 12.3 on my Mac Powerbook 8.1 and cannot find out how to make wireless working. There is simply no wireless device seen, neither in Yast nor in NetworkManager. The only thing I found was http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Installation_on_a_Mac which is old and talks about a broadcom-sta driver. This is not available in Yast (packman repo enabled). The broadcom page http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php says the driver supports other devices than mine (mine is 4331). Whatever I find in google refers to Ubuntu and doesn't help me much... Can anybody hep me any further? Thanks!

Re: [opensuse] Root and boot partitions on a sw raid volume (opensuse 12.2 - 12.3 rc1 64bit)

I'm going to wait for the 12.3 final release and, if the behavior will be the same i'll open a bugreport I have already tried 12.3 rc2 with no luck In the meanwhile if someone of you have encountered a similar issue or have a similar partition layout please share your experiences, it would be very useful. What sounds very very strange to me is that nobody has already signaled this issue like me. I think every system with a sw raid configuration should have also the boot partition on top of a raid1 volume. I don't think to have an uncommon partition layout... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Bluetooth not working after 12.3 install
by Adolph & Sharon Weidanz 27 Mar '13

Hey as the subject says, under 12.2 I was able to use the built-in bluetooth (Bus 004 Device 003: ID 0a5c:217d Broadcom Corp. HP Bluethunder). Once I deleted 12.2 and installed 12.3 (64bit) I have not been able to get it to work. Searching the net has been frustrating.
