[opensuse] How to permanently disable apache2-mod_php7?
by Bjoern Voigt 07 Sep '19

07 Sep '19

Since I use PHP7-FPM, I do not need the Apache/PHP module apache2-mod_php7. But there are some dependencies to apache2-mod_php7, so I get apache2-mod_php7 automatically: # rpm -e --test apache2-mod_php7 error: Failed dependencies: apache2-mod_php7 is needed by (installed) mythweb-29-1.2.noarch mod_php_any >= 7.0.0 is needed by (installed) nextcloud-16.0.4-81.1.noarch mod_php_any < 7.4.0 is needed by (installed) nextcloud-16.0.4-81.1.noarch I installed apache2-mod_php7 and disabled it with "a2dismod php7". Unfortunately the RPM postinstall script re-enables apache2-mod_php7 after every update of this package. # rpm -q --scripts apache2-mod_php7 #some distro versions does not have this tool. if [ -x /usr/sbin/a2enmod ]; then if a2enmod -q php5 && ! a2enmod -q php7; then a2dismod php5 a2enmod php7 fi fi [...] My work-around is this: # zypper dup; a2dismod php7 Are there better solutions?

[opensuse] LibreOffice bad cursor positioning problem
by Carlos E. R. 07 Sep '19

07 Sep '19

Hi, My Libre Office writer has developed a bad problem: when I type, the letters appear a position or two to the left of the cursor. With different fonts. This impedes editing badly. A restart of the program, that has been running for two days, restored normality. Another day I observed problems with styles: impossible to apply default style settings to paragraphs, so that different paragraphs got different appearance, despite having the same style, and I cleared direct formatting. I had to create a new document and copy over the paragraphs without style. What is going on? Using Leap 15.0 with default LO. Version: 6.2.5.2 Build ID: 20(Build:2) CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.12; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: es-ES (en_US.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] App:Geo - Unable to differentiate between two repos
by Chris Coutinho 06 Sep '19

06 Sep '19

Hello, I recently installed QGIS from the Application:Geo devel project on Tumbleweed, and in addition to the App:Geo repo I also subscribed to another seemingly identical repo: $ zypper lr -EU | awk -F'|' '{print $3 $7}' | grep 'opensuse.org' | rg -v home | sort Application:Geo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Application:/Geo/openSUSE_Tumblew… Main Repository (NON-OSS) http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/non-oss/ Main Repository (OSS) http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/repo/oss/ Main Update Repository http://download.opensuse.org/update/tumbleweed/ openSUSE:Tumbleweed http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tumbleweed/standard/ Software for Scientists and Engineers (openSUSE_Tumbleweed) http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/science/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/ Does anyone know what the 'openSUSE:Tumbleweed' repo is in this context, and why does App:Geo depend on it? I can't find it anywhere on the project page at build.opensuse.org, and looking at the contents it seems almost identical to the 'Main Repository (OSS)' Regards, Chris

[opensuse] Opening links from email - what browser?
by Carlos E. R. 06 Sep '19

06 Sep '19

Hi, Seeing that my Firefox was bloated with a large number of tabs, I created a new FF profile and started fresh, with just a few tabs. Fine. But there is a nuisance: I can not click on links in email (Thunderbird and others): they insist in opening the full "Default" FF profile with a ton of windows and tabs, instead of opening a new tab in the already running FF instance. How can I change that? XFCE, Leap 15.0 -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)

[opensuse] is ubuntu better than opensuse 15.1?
by Daniel Bauer 05 Sep '19

05 Sep '19

Hi, unfortunately quite working 42.3 had to be replaced with 15.1 due to end of security updates which are important to me. Now, this system seems not to be able to handle my Nvidia GeForce GTX 460. It freezes all the time. If it doesn't freeze the desktop effects get switched off due to "restart of graphics". When I log out and in, the desktop icons spread somehow over the screen and I have to reorder them - each and every time. Bug reports are not seen, obviously. Problem is, that this is my working computer and since two days I simply cannot work with it. I know that Opensuse cuts functionality in each release since 13.x, but I didn't imagine that it simply would stop being usable at all. Now I have two possibilities: - buy another graphics card that will maybe work a year or two until OpenSuse decides to stop working with it, too. - install another operating system. Both possibilities are complicated. I am with openSuse since 20 years, and it has always bettered until the regression started from 13.x. I'd have to learn a new system. Windows is excluded, as it makes me sick. So could be ubuntu? A new graphics card is expensive (I need quite a lot of power). Also I don't have any idea which one. One that fulfills my needs on one side, and that is supported by OpenSuse which I think is not really made anymore for a graphic desktop, more for a pure console computer, server or the like. What do you recommend? Give it a try with ubuntu? Buy another graphics card?

[opensuse] setenv DISPLAY $HOST:0.0
by Wolfgang Mueller 05 Sep '19

05 Sep '19

Under Leap 15.1 any attempt to open the display with a $DISPLAY value different from :0.0 fails and generates the answer: <program>: can't open display <HOST>:0.0, aborting Under 13.2, an efficient work around was removing "-nolisten tcp" from the files /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc and /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers as follows: diff /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc.bak < args="$args" --- > args="$args -nolisten tcp" ------------------------------------------------------------- diff /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers.bak < :0 local /usr/bin/X -br vt7 -keeptty --- > :0 local /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp -br vt7 -keeptty But these modifications do not help any more, because the failure not only happens at a request from outside (TCP) but also at a local request. What can I do to provide "setenv DISPLAY $HOST:0.0" making sense under Leap 15.1?

[opensuse] ssh without passwd
by Wolfgang Mueller 05 Sep '19

05 Sep '19

"ssh-keygen" generated ~/.ssh/id_rsa and ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub Then ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub has been copied to the remote site and given the name ~/.ssh/authorized_keys there. Whereas ssh without password from a SuSE 13.2 site to a Leap 15.1 site works perfectly for any user, from a Leap 15.1 site to a SuSE 13.2 site it works for root only, and different users are asked for a password. How can I achieve ssh to be accepted without password for "normal" users, too? Thanks in advance for your help.

[opensuse] Can I find the percent of cpu load for a process in a script?
by Carlos E. R. 04 Sep '19

04 Sep '19

Hi, Can I find the percent of cpu load for a process inside a script? At worst, I can find it out from "top", but I wonder if there is a more direct way. I'm looking at "/proc/21500/stat" or "/proc/21500/statm", but I have no idea what each value is, where are those virtual files documented. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] Flash is still used today
by Carlos E. R. 04 Sep '19

04 Sep '19

Incredible. I just hit a news site that requires flash from adobe, TODAY. :-( I'm using a new firefox instance, no plugins yet, so no flash support, I suppose. <https://cadenaser.com/emisora/2019/08/27/radio_cartagena/1566895744_214802.…> (no , I'm not asking how to add flash support... (yet)... just saying that today there are sites that still use it. I'm flabergasted) (Chrome plays it) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
