I went into YaST / System / Services Manager and tried to start mythbackend. I got an error that I don't understand. Here's the YaST log: First I start mythbackend: 2018-07-24 12:35:04 <1> acer-suse(7430) [Ruby] clients/services-manager.rb:64 User returned `start_stop 2018-07-24 12:35:04 <1> acer-suse(7430) [Ruby] clients/services-manager.rb:240 Setting the service 'mythbackend' to active 2018-07-24 12:35:04 <1> acer-suse(7430) [Ruby] modules/services_manager_service.rb:221 Service mythbackend has been marked for activation Then I click OK: 2018-07-24 12:35:23 <1> acer-suse(7430) [Ruby] clients/services-manager.rb:64 User returned `next 2018-07-24 12:35:23 <1> acer-suse(7430) [Ruby] clients/services-manager.rb:88 Writing configuration... 2018-07-24 12:35:23 <2> acer-suse(7430) [ui-shortcuts] YShortcutManager.cc(checkShortcuts):85 Not enough widgets with valid shortcut characters - no check 2018-07-24 12:35:23 <1> acer-suse(7430) [Ruby] modules/services_manager_service.rb:374 Saving systemd services... 2018-07-24 12:35:23 <1> acer-suse(7430) [Ruby] modules/services_manager_service.rb:381 Modified services: {"mythbackend"=>{:enabled=>true, :can_be_enabled=>true, :modified=>true, :active=>true, :loaded=>false, :description=>"MythTV backend service"}} 2018-07-24 12:35:23 <1> acer-suse(7430) [Ruby] modules/Service.rb:112 Enabling service 'mythbackend' 2018-07-24 12:35:23 <1> acer-suse(7430) [Ruby] yast2/systemctl.rb:32 systemctl show mythbackend.service --property=Id --property=MainPID --property=Description --property=LoadState --property=ActiveState --property=SubState --property=UnitFileState --property=FragmentPath 2018-07-24 12:35:23 <1> acer-suse(7430) [Ruby] yast2/systemctl.rb:32 systemctl enable mythbackend.service 2018-07-24 12:35:24 <1> acer-suse(7430) [Ruby] yast2/systemctl.rb:32 systemctl show mythbackend.service --property=Id --property=MainPID --property=Description --property=LoadState --property=ActiveState --property=SubState --property=UnitFileState --property=FragmentPath 2018-07-24 12:35:24 <1> acer-suse(7430) [Ruby] modules/services_manager_service.rb:486 Switching services 2018-07-24 12:35:24 <1> acer-suse(7430) [Ruby] yast2/systemctl.rb:32 systemctl show mythbackend.service --property=Id --property=MainPID --property=Description --property=LoadState --property=ActiveState --property=SubState --property=UnitFileState --property=FragmentPath 2018-07-24 12:35:24 <1> acer-suse(7430) [Ruby] modules/Service.rb:140 Starting service 'mythbackend' 2018-07-24 12:35:24 <1> acer-suse(7430) [Ruby] yast2/systemctl.rb:32 systemctl show mythbackend.service --property=Id --property=MainPID --property=Description --property=LoadState --property=ActiveState --property=SubState --property=UnitFileState --property=FragmentPath 2018-07-24 12:35:24 <1> acer-suse(7430) [Ruby] yast2/systemctl.rb:32 systemctl start mythbackend.service 2018-07-24 12:35:24 <3> acer-suse(7430) [bash] ShellCommand.cc(shellcommand):78 Failed to start mythbackend.service: Unit mythbackend.service is not loaded properly: Exec format error. 2018-07-24 12:35:24 <3> acer-suse(7430) [bash] ShellCommand.cc(shellcommand):78 See system logs and 'systemctl status mythbackend.service' for details. 2018-07-24 12:35:24 <1> acer-suse(7430) [Ruby] yast2/systemctl.rb:32 systemctl show mythbackend.service --property=Id --property=MainPID --property=Description --property=LoadState --property=ActiveState --property=SubState --property=UnitFileState --property=FragmentPath 2018-07-24 12:35:24 <3> acer-suse(7430) [Ruby] modules/Service.rb:443 Attempt to `start` service 'mythbackend' failed.

I don't understand what "Invalid user/group name or numeric ID" means. 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 02 Aug '18

02 Aug '18

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 02 Aug '18

02 Aug '18

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
