localhost inaccessible to browsers
by Wolfgang Mueller 11 Jun '22

11 Jun '22

Having installed Leap 15.4 with KDE on one of my computers, I have a strange problem with browsing, being localhost inaccessible to Firefox (version 101.0) as well as to Chromium and Google Chrome (both version 102.0.5005.xxx). This is very boring for developing a web page. Replacing localhost by "az", the computer's name, or "192.168.2.17", its internal IP address, does not help; these specifications are likewise rejected. But "ping localhost", "ping az" and "ping 192.168.2.17" work fine. There is no problem with accessing any other internal or external address. Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Wolfgang

Note: Update of Thunderbird past 91esr will make irreversible changes to profile (backup before update)
by David C. Rankin 11 Jun '22

11 Jun '22

All, As part of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1772023 I tested with Thunderbird 102 Beta. There are a number of changes between 91 and 102 (for the good, new address book format -- no more Mork!, etc.) that will make irreversible changes to your thunderbird profile. If you are considering "checking out" a new version of tbird, make a backup of your current profile before trying the new version (thunderbird wisely creates a new profile, but for testing CPU use, I needed to use the same account setup). The downside of the new profile creation is if you have a number of mail and calendar accounts to integrate, creating a new profile from scratch will be tedious and the sync of all mail headers, indexing, etc.. can be extensive if you have a large mail-store. So after backup, you can point thunderbird to your existing profile with the '-profile /path/to/your/profile' option and it will use and convert your existing profile to the new format. (but without a back, you will be unable to use the old version of thunderbird with that profile) The good new is High CPU use is gone in 102 beta... -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Firefox 101 faster?
by James Knott 10 Jun '22

10 Jun '22

After installing Leap 15.4, I updated Firefox to v101. It appears to be a lot faster and more responsive than the v95 I had been running with 15.3. BTW, why is v91 still provided with 15.4? Shouldn't something more current be offered?

Trying to install Leap 15.4
by Siard 10 Jun '22

10 Jun '22

Hi, I am trying to install Leap 15.4. But during the installation of packages, I get messages like these: YaST2 Installation of package ca-certificates failed. Details: Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: Command exited with status 1. History: - error: failed to exec scriptlet interpreter /bin/sh: Permission denied error: %prein(ca-certificates-2+git20210309.21162a6-2.1.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 127 error: ca-certificates-2+git20210309.21162a6-2.1.noarch: install failed YaST2 Installation of package python3-six failed. Details: Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: Command exited with status 1. History: - error: failed to exec scriptlet interpreter /bin/sh: Permission denied error: %prein(python3-six-1.14.0-12.1.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 127 error: python3-six-1.14.0-12.1.noarch: install failed I click 'Ignore' every time, and then this message appears: YaST2 Warning Ignoring a package failure may result in a broken system. The system should be later verified by running the Software Management module. And the list of uninstallable packages goes on and on: python3-pip wireless-tools systemd-presets-common-SUSE sg3_utils netcfg login_defs klogd issue-generator cyrus-sasl systemd-presets-branding-openSUSE iputils ebtables device-mapper shadow kbd alsa-utils lockdev etc. I had the same problem when trying to install 15.3. I did manage to install TW, however. Does anybody have any idea what could be the problem here?

Leap-15.4 vanilla kernel "make install" broken
by Mark Hounschell 10 Jun '22

10 Jun '22

I did an upgrade today using a DVD. I built and run vanilla kernels. All was going well until I did a "make install". What I got was this: harley:/usr/src/linux-5.15.46# make install arch/x86/Makefile:142: CONFIG_X86_X32 enabled but no binutils support sh ./arch/x86/boot/install.sh 5.15.46 \ arch/x86/boot/bzImage System.map "/boot" Cannot find LILO. harley:/usr/src/linux-5.15.46# On 15.3 the kernel install scripts call /sbin/installkernel from the dracut package. That file seems to be missing from 15.4. Is there a reason why? Thanks Mark

How can I change my mail address in bugzilla.
by Peter McD 10 Jun '22

10 Jun '22

Hi, I reported a bug to bugzilla and noticed that my mail address is no longer valid. I could log in, but any mail will not reach me. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=darktable&list_id=136… The page doesn't have or hides very successfully the location where I could change my email address. "Preferences" point to "Account Information" but wants too much information. Alternatively I could cancel my account and open a new one. But where? Peter

Final zypper dup done for 15.4 - Working Fantastic - It's a keeper.
by David C. Rankin 09 Jun '22

09 Jun '22

All, Final zypper dup done, laptop, with proprietary nvidia drivers, working wonderfully. Hats off to the openSUSE devs. Fluxbox and KDE3 tweaked and configured to perfection. Wonderful dark themes for both, all 10,000 (guess) apps that are normally installed, plus gcc11 working fine. Fresh install to ext4, and I really have no complaints to report (we did have to pull the 15.3 desktop-data-openSUSE-15.0.20171024-lp153.1.53.noarch.rpm To restore menu categories that were stripped out by Gnome (okay, that's a complaint, but there is also a workaround, so nice tidy xdg menu categorization restored) Tbird CPU usage is also a complaint -- but openSUSE has nothing to due with that one, bug filed with Mozilla and confirmed it is fixed in Tbird 102 (so that's a wash too) That's small potatoes "complaints". Desktops in best shape I've ever seen (that's saying a lot considering I've use KDE since long before 3.5.10), Libreoffice, imagemagick, gimp, inkscape (it has made the gtk transition - finally), pdftk, pngquant, etc... all the "tools of creation" working fine. Mariadb and Postgresql up running no issue. Samba makes my $HOME files available on my phone, all is good. Here is to 15.4 going down in the records with 15.0, 42.3, 11.4, 11.0, 10.3, 9.0Pro, 8.0Pro, 7.0Pro (boxed sets) as being releases that are remembered fondly. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

postfix + dovecot + let's encrypt (certbot) - Seamless ssl/tls mail certificate
by David C. Rankin 09 Jun '22

09 Jun '22

All, Probably old news to most who run their own mail servers, but for years I simply used self-signed certs for mail and used Let's Encrypt for my web servers. Turns out it's trivial to use the same certs for both. The key is you need to have both an A and MX record for your mail host and then add that fqdn (Expand) your Let's Encrypt certificate to include the mail host fqdn. While most mail clients would simply allow you to add an exception for your annual change for self-signed certs, leave it to apple to make things difficult and complain. So tired of fighting with IOS, it was time to simply use a legitimate cert. (makes apple instantly happy, not reboots to clear cache or 3 forced mail checks is rapid succession to have it add a new exception) If you are interested, here are three links that tie it altogether. Note that different web-servers will have difference setups/processes for requesting your original or expended cert. (there is a manual method as well) https://serverfault.com/q/999409/332034 https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/how-to-add-mail-server-to-existing-cert… https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/dovecot-certificate/145441/9 Simple solution. The only change to dovecot.conf is to point it to the let's encrypt certs instead of self-signed. Should have taken the time to do this years ago when I did the web server. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
