[opensuse] yast, mythweb and php version

by Dave Howorth

I'm trying to bring up mythweb. I've discovered that it's a separate package but am somewhat confused. Most of mythtv is v0.28 from packman and there is a mythweb package that is also 0.28, but there are also 0.27 & 0.26 versions and I'm not clear why. That's minor though, the main problem is that when I try to install mythweb I see an error: nothing provides apache2-mod_php5 But the only PHP module for apache seems to be v7: apache2-mod_php7 - PHP7 module for the Apache 2.x webserver and that is installed. Now according to https://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/12588 that problem was encountered three years ago and was fixed in mythweb two years ago apparently in v0.27. So 0.28 should be OK. So why am I seeing the error and is there any way I can work around it? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Which WiFi uses less battery

by Carlos E. R.

Hi, Apparently for tethering my laptop to my mobile phone I can configure to use 2.4 or 5 Ghz. So I wonder which uses less battery - on each side. If it is a significant difference. Normally on radio higher frequency uses less energy (and reach less distance and is more directive) Just curious! :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] keyboard in Leap 15.0

by Dave Howorth

When I boot Leap 15 the vertical pipe symbol doesn't work. Instead it prints '>' and backslash prints '<'. I have a UK keyboard that has always worked fine. So I go into YaST/Hardware/System Keyboard and I see that it says I have English(UK) selected. So I type in the Test box and see >< instead of what I should see. So I select English(US) and then select English(UK) again and type again and this time see |\. Which would be fine except this happens every time I boot. Which is very annoying. Anybody seen this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

The mythtv user is there with a userid of 471 and a description of "MythTV Backend User" and is a member of audio and video groups. (created by the system, not by me). There are no special groups. Does anybody understand what this means or how to fix it? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Which is better? Exchange 2016 or Linux-based SMTP Servers?

by Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming

Good evening from Singapore, I am torn between deploying Exchange 2016 and Linux-based SMTP servers like sendmail, postfix, qmail and exim. Relative ease of installation and configuration is an important consideration factor. Exchange 2016, Domain Controller, and Active Directory are relatively easy to install and configure. Linux-based SMTP servers are extremely difficult to install and configure and of course, extremely time-consuming. One of the features of Exchange 2016 is that you can create additional folders on your Inbox in the server (server-side). Can Linux-based SMTP servers do that? Does Exchange 2016 offer more user-friendly features or Linux-based SMTP servers? Besides the above considerations, how about security? Traditionally, Linux is far more secure than Windows. Judging by security, Linux-based SMTP servers ought to have a higher percentage of the market share? Finally, I can only use Windows Server 2016 Standard Evaluation Copy FREE for a period of 3 years MAXIMUM. But I can use Linux servers and Mail Transport Agents (MTA) FREE perpetually. Please advise. Thank you very much. ===BEGIN SIGNATURE=== Turritopsis Dohrnii Teo En Ming's Academic Qualifications as at 30 Oct 2017 [1] https://tdtemcerts.wordpress.com/ [2] http://tdtemcerts.blogspot.sg/ [3] https://www.scribd.com/user/270125049/Teo-En-Ming ===END SIGNATURE=== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Bug 1099565 – Icons and text not displaying properly - Leap 15.0

by James Knott

I created this report because of a frequent problem with the desktop. Has anyone else noticed it? Also, I find, with 15.0, that some things are slower to start. For example, if I press Alt-F2, to do some function, and start typing, it takes a few seconds for the characters to appear. It seems sluggish in other ways too. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1099565 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Help with Ethernet and wireless drivers

by don fisher

I am running Leap 42.3 and recently purchased an Alienware 13 R3 laptop that contains: 1. Qualcomm Atheros Killer E2500 Gigabit Ethernet Controller 2. Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 80211 ac Wireless Network Controller I ran Yast networking and no devices were discovered. Is there a way, some switch in modprobe perhaps, to tell which module is required? Is there an opensuse procedure or some other advice? I looked on google and found some Ubuntu links, but nothing relating to opensuse.

[opensuse] Small editor project - feedback

by David C. Rankin

If anybody has the time (or need) for a small gtk based editor, I could use some help with testing a little project. Most recently word-completion was added along with the right-margin visual guide. Written in C with the Gtk+2 toolkit, the package is about 109k in size. Most systems will already have Gtk2 installed and the libgtksourceview package is about 300k. Both light and dark syntax highlight styles are included. For Leap 15, the package is: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/drankinatty/openSUSE_Leap_1… there are packages available for 13.1 - Leap 15. If you find any problems, let me know, or open an issue on github: https://github.com/drankinatty/gtkwrite -- David C.

[opensuse] Ancient OS and software

by Frans de Boer

LS, As is custom with previous releases of opensuse, leap 15 also has a unsupported and in linux terms ancient os embraced. I just wonder, why not use a LTS linux instead of an OS the opensuse developers have to maintain themself? Of course there is more ancient software like old gcc software etc. Okay, it is tried and stable and it compiles software which does not compile under 8.1 without modification due to syntax errors. A lot of old other stuff too. I do use TW when developing and in all those years it turns out as quite stable except for some glitches happening once a year. It feels like it is good enough for day to day office work, but if you want a little more...

[opensuse] Creating links in file browser

by Carlos E. R.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I wonder if there is some file browser that would allow to select a number of files, and then create a hard-link of all of them in another directory. I have tried dolphin, nautilus, thunar, gnome commander. Some offer creating soft-links, I want hard links this time. Even Midnight Commander can't: it creates hard link only for the currently selected file only, and asks for destination name. Single file and prompt, so no use for this. Nautilus, for instance, can create soft-links on the selection, but then can not select a bunch of files by pattern. I have to select all, then delete by pattern using something else. Thunar can select by pattern, but not create links of any kind instead of copy. No tool is complete yet? Then Nautilus goes nuts, processing my directory that I'm trying to link, which is full of photos, doing the preview of a thousand photos. Both on the original and the copy. Then tracker-store goes nuts as well, at 100% CPU. All my 4 cores are busy :-( - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.
