OK, here is the situation. I have two machines running OpenSuse. The
only DVD I have that has OpenSuse is for version 12.3. On the one
machine, which had been running Windows 7 (a very nice OS IMHO), the
only hard drive failed. As I had no install disks for Windows, I
decided to install OpenSuse on it, once I replaced the drive. That went
fine, and as OpenSuse 13.1 was out, I used the live install method to
upgrade that machine immediately (i.e. before I installed any
applications and before I put any data on it (while I had the ISO image
for 13.1, none of my DVD writers produced a viable DVD; i.e. each of my
DVD writers had a hardware problem). Anyway, that upgrade went fine.
Once complete, I installed al of the applications and libraries I
normally use. I then tested the installation of the Apache webserver,
including especially it's ability to execute my cgi scripts, which are
written in Perl. That worked fine. I then tested my installation of
MySQL, and that, too worked fine.
On the second machine, it has been running 12.3 for a while; at least
since early fall. Alas, when I checked it's ability to run my cgi
scripts, it refused to run them: and the information in the error log is
especially uninformative. I have been spending an inordinate amount of
time reviewing the configuration files, without finding anything awry.
Since version 13.1 seemed faster, and since everything related to the
two server applications I normally use, worked OOTB on the other
machine, I decided to upgrade this machine to 13.1 too.
Now, here is the weird part. On the two machines, precisely the same
applications are installed, and the identical suite of perl and apache
modules or packages are installed; and the configuration files for
apache2 are identical. And yet, my cgi scripts run flawlessly on the
first described above and they still fail on the second. And, before
you ask, yes, the cgi scripts in question are identical. How is that
possible? Equally important is, 'How do I fix the second machine? NB:
On the second machine, it is only my cgi perl scripts that are not
executed. ALL of my perl scripts that are intended to be executed
within bash, or as scheduled tasks, work perfectly.
I do not know if it is a coincidence or not, but MySQL works on the
first machine described above, and it worked on 12.3 on the second, but
after the upgrade to 13.1, MySQL refuses to start, with the only
intelligible thing in the logs related to this is a complaint about
having upgraded MySQL from an older version (which seems rather silly).
For now, I have put all my databases into MySQL running on my Ubuntu
box, but I would like to be able to fix this one OpenSuse box so that
both the Apache2 and MySQL servers work on it also.
I'd hazard a guess that to get to the bottom of this, you may need
additional information, but you'll need to tell me what, and how to get
at it. I don't think my apache2 configuration files would be very
useful, as they are identical on the two machines, and all works
flawlessly on the one (though, they would be if the same problem existed
on both).
How do I proceed to sort this out?
Thanks
Ted

For a long time, I have noticed that the sound intermittently drops
out for a few seconds, since pulseaudio became standard with openSUSE.
This seems to be triggered by other events, such as moving files
especially with Digikam, but also with Krusader or Dolphin. Fetching
mail with Thunderbird sometimes does it, and sometimes it just happens
- - presumably a 'behind the scenes' housekeeping job interferes).
My current setup is:
openSUSE 12.3
KDE 4.11.4
Music playback through mpd
Skype 4.2.0.11
The soundcard is MCP51 High Definition Audio and is integrated on the
motherboard.
The processor is 2.5GHz quad core, with 8GB RAM. Graphics output is
through an nVidia GeForce 9600GT card driven by the proprietary nVidia
drivers.
I finally decided to nail this, and carefully worked through the
advice on these two pages:
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/Perf…http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Desktops/KDE/
Most of my setup appeared to be correct. My mpd.conf contains the
following:
audio_output {
type "pulse"
name "My MPD Pulse Output"
server "localhost" # optional
sink "alsa_output" # optional
}
and I added ~/.asoundrc, which consists of:
pcm.pulse {
type pulse
}
ctl.pulse {
type pulse
}
Has anyone else experienced similar problems with pulseaudio, and if
so, do you have any recommended tweaks?
Thanks,
Bob

I just upgraded to opensuse 13.1.
I haven't noticed any problems except with gvim.
When you type in gvim
or cursor over any character
or redraw the screen with control-L
the text disappears.
If I move the mouse out of the window, the window redraws ok, until I
start typing in the windows again.
I don't know specifically if it's a vim problem, I'm only noticing a
problem with gvim, not any other programs.
Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

I recall mentioning not too long ago about the dependency errors which
keep coming up in 13.1 - but I don't remember in which list I mentioned
it nor do I remember what the answer (if any) was.
I raise the issue again because I just cannot fathom what the heck I am
supposed to do to resolve these dependency problems which YaST keeps
spitting out at me. I am trying to get VLC to play not only Blu-ray
files but now I found out that it won't even play files downloaded from
YouTube. All files are playable in 12.3 but NOT in 13.1 - and I cannot
figure out why.
Below is a list of the repositories which I have in my 13.1 installation
(on a Desktop):
http://susepaste.org/78522541
and here is a list of the dependency errors which YaST so graciously
shows me (but doesn't tell me which option to choose):
http://susepaste.org/44273137
Can anyone, please, tell me which options I should choose to rid myself
of these dependency hassles?
(BTW, running zypper shows me that many files "will not be updated"
which appear to be ones which are shown in the YaST list above.)
