Leap 15.2, apache2, php7, mpm-event, fcgi
by Wolfgang Rosenauer 06 Mar '21

06 Mar '21

Hi, I'm really quite lost currently. I'm trying to change my LAMP setup based on 15.2 to use event MPM and PHP through fcgi and fpm. I just don't get it to work though. I had expected to find massive amounts of docs how to do it because of LAMP being an extremely common usecase and apache prefork being an extremely weak choice resource wise. I found quite some tutorials for other distributions which didn't work. I also found https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Apache_FastCGI_and_PHP-FPM_configuration obviously but following that just does not work for me. The situation I'm ending up with is that I get a directory listing when entering my webserver target. Calling index.php directly offers to download it. I guess there is probably missing only a very small piece in the article above but I'm not able to figure it out. Anyone an idea? Thanks, Wolfgang

TW mystery console boot message: [ 5.299369]
by Michael Hamilton 05 Mar '21

05 Mar '21

I'm seeing a sole console message during splash=silent boots. The message is a number in square brackets, for example [ 5.299369]. The value is always padded with leading spaces and is roughly in the range 5.* to 6.*. It appears some time between the boot splash and X11/sddm startup. This makes me suspect it could be something like the seconds from boot to login prompt. If I switch from sddm to a console, I can see the same message just above the "Welcome to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed..." Is everyone seeing such a message? On a related issue, I also see "eth0: <ipv4-address> <mac-address>" just below the "Welcome to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed...". Is that new, I can't say I'd noticed that before. No big deal, just a bit curious. BTW - I'm using the proprietary Nvidia driver, which might make my bootup messages a bit different than the norm. Michael

Leap 15.2 KDE file associations
by Roger Oberholtzer 05 Mar '21

05 Mar '21

On a recent Leap 15.2 install, I seem not to be able to get KDE to remember file associations. More specifically, which application to run for the file. If I select a file in Konqueror, and then select an application in the dialog Konqueror provides, and click the box that says to remember this, when I click again on that same file, it once again asks which application to use. It never remembers the association. It does run the application after I select it. But never again unless I select the application again. When I say that the association should be remembered, I get the status window saying that something is being updated. There is no error. In the X log, I see this when the association is selected and being remembered: kbuildsycoca4 running... So if there is an error, it is not presented anywhere I see. Has anyone else seen this? -- Roger Oberholtzer

If you want to do more in-depth analysis, it is easier with a database, but you can also get the basic numbers with a tiny bit of scripting: Look for this message in the logs: "Received disconnect from 46.101.245.176 port 49464:11: Bye Bye [preauth]" The above indicates someone tried to log in, but failed to complete the key exchange. xzgrep ssh.*Bye.*preauth "your-compressed-log-files" | sed -e 's/^.*from//' | cut -d\ -f2 >/tmp/iplist "/tmp/iplist" now has the list of IP addresses. "wc -l /tmp/iplist" gives you the total number attempts. "sort -u /tmp/iplist | wc -l" gives you the number of unique addresses. To look up country codes, you need a geoip database - I have one being served by our in-house DNS, so: sort -u /tmp/iplist | while IFS=. read q1 q2 q3 q4 do host -t txt $q4.$q3.$q2.$q1.countries.nerd done | tee /tmp/cclist "/tmp/cclist" now has lines of 233.74.42.100.countries.nerd descriptive text "us" Number of unique countries seen: grep descriptive /tmp/cclist | cut -d\ -f4 | sort -u | wc -l If you need more details, at this point it is easier to use a database, in my opinion, but if you a wizard with a spreadsheet, that will do too. See my follow-up post in a minute. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (8.8°C)

Using labels instead of UUID
by J Leslie Turriff 03 Mar '21

03 Mar '21

In the discussion of root passwords, Felix discussed using partition labels instead of UUIDs. I've long considered doing this, but I have several LUKS-encrypted partitions, and none of the documentation I've read has anything to say about using labels in that situation. Can it be done, and if so, what's the procedure for setting it up? Leslie -- openSUSE Leap 15.2 x86_64

15.2 root password
by ken 03 Mar '21

03 Mar '21

After doing a new install of 15.2, I realized I was never prompted for a root password. Now I can't access most things to configure the system. How do I set a root password on this system?

/var/run/wpa_supplicant ?
by Per Jessen 02 Mar '21

02 Mar '21

Background first - I am writing an interface for configuring wifi over a small 160x80 display and a numeric keypad only. I am only just getting my feet wet with wpa_supplicant - for working with wpa_cli, I seem to need /var/run/wpa_supplicant as specified in /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf. /var/run/wpa_supplicant seems to be missing ? (on at least three systems I've looked at). Judging by the man page for wpa_supplicant.conf, what we (openSUSE) provide as a default is wrong? We have ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=wheel whereas the man page suggests: ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=wheel 'ctrl_interface_group' is not even mentioned in the man page. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.2°C)
