nginx php-fpm FastCGI sent in stderr: ... (Permission denied)??
by David C. Rankin 21 Nov '24

All, I'm an Apache shop, but thought I would explore nginx with php-fpm. So I've installed nginx and php-fpm on Tumbleweed. I've configured to use Unix sockets and tried with fastcgi://127.0.0.1:9000 redirect, but I get the same error trying to process .php pages each time. The php install works fine from the cli, e.g. it processes <?php phpinnfo(); ?> fine. It's just serving php pages through nginx where things are not working. Serving html pages is fine. nginx runs as user:group nginx:nginx and php-fpm has been configured accordingly. The nginx.conf is: https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/4aa5986f180c The php-fpm pool (Default name www) [www] user = nginx group = nginx php_value[session.save_path] = /var/lib/php8/sessions listen = '/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock' listen.owner = nginx listen.group = nginx listen.mode = 0660 pm = dynamic pm.max_children = 5 pm.start_servers = 2 pm.min_spare_servers = 1 pm.max_spare_servers = 3 NOTE: I have uninstalled and blacklisted the system-user-wwwrun package because I do not run the servers as user:group www:wwwrun. The nginx user and group are created just fine by the install, e.g. user: nginx:x:461:461:User for nginx:/var/lib/nginx:/usr/sbin/nologin group: nginx:x:461:david The socket dir created is: # l /run/php-fpm/ total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 60 Nov 20 18:15 . drwxr-xr-x 45 root root 1100 Nov 20 18:08 .. srw-rw---- 1 nginx nginx 0 Nov 20 18:15 php-fpm.sock The document root with simple test index.(html|php) and the phpinfo() test in tphp.php is: # l /srv/http/htdocs/ total 36 drwxrwxr-x 3 root david 4096 Nov 20 16:26 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Oct 3 01:22 .. drwxrwxr-x 2 root david 4096 Sep 28 02:04 gif -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 497 Oct 3 01:22 50x.html -rw-r--r-- 1 david david 3262 Oct 10 2009 favicon.ico -rw-r--r-- 1 david david 522 Nov 20 16:26 index.html -rw-r--r-- 1 david david 510 Nov 20 15:58 index.php -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2356 Sep 28 02:04 info2html.css -rw-r--r-- 1 david david 20 May 21 2019 tphp.php The permissions on /var/lib/nginx are: # l /var/lib/nginx/ total 28 drwxr-x--- 7 nginx nginx 4096 Nov 18 04:59 . drwxr-xr-x 59 root root 4096 Nov 20 03:37 .. drwxr-x--- 2 nginx nginx 4096 Oct 3 01:22 fastcgi drwxr-x--- 2 nginx nginx 4096 Oct 3 01:22 proxy drwxr-x--- 2 nginx nginx 4096 Oct 3 01:22 scgi drwxr-x--- 2 nginx nginx 4096 Oct 3 01:22 tmp drwxr-x--- 2 nginx nginx 4096 Oct 3 01:22 uwsgi Both nginx and php-fpm services are happily running: # scs nginx ● nginx.service - The nginx HTTP and reverse proxy server Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/nginx.service; 5:185mdisabled; preset: 5:185mdisabled) Active: active (running) since Wed 2024-11-20 18:08:14 CST; 21min ago Invocation: a04be26ff80b4ec0b5b1748a8701d16c Process: 12485 ExecStartPre=/usr/sbin/nginx -t (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 12487 (nginx) Tasks: 5 (limit: 9439) CPU: 83ms CGroup: /system.slice/nginx.service ├─12487 "nginx: master process /usr/sbin/nginx -g daemon off;" ├─12488 "nginx: worker process" ├─12489 "nginx: worker process" ├─12490 "nginx: worker process" └─12491 "nginx: worker process" Nov 20 18:08:13 wizard systemd[1]: Starting The nginx HTTP and reverse proxy server...

I have been working through https://nginx.org/en/docs/, but there doesn't seem to be anything I can find "wrong" with what I've done (obviously there is). Anybody good with the nginx config that wouldn't mind helping me figure out where I've screwed this up? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Machine lockups when suspend is envoked:
by -pj 21 Nov '24

21 Nov '24

Hi, openSUSE Tumbleweed here with KDE. I recently replaced the Nvidia Quadro K600 video card with an AMD RX550 video card in the machine. Issue is that when suspend is envoked there are lockups possibly 15 to 20 percent of the time. Then REISUB is used to complete the powercycle. For a couple weeks I had just left the Nvidia packages and Nvidia kernel boot parameters as they were after installing the rx550 and experienced a lockup during suspend 30 percent of the time. Now I purged the Nvidia packages and removed the Nvidia related kernel boot options and updated grub. Now I have been computing for about 3 weeks total with the RX550. inxi -Gayz output > https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/b87ed48936da - lspci -k | grep -A 2 -E "(VGA|3D)" 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Lexa [Radeon 540X/550X/630 / RX 640 / E9171 MCM] (rev c1) Subsystem: Dell Device 1713 Kernel driver in use: amdgpu I have looked a bit into this for instance: passing eglinfo -B as user and not root gives a possible red herring error message > _amdgpu_device_initialize: amdgpu_query_info(ACCEL_WORKING) failed (-13) Really I do believe RX550 is creating the suspend issue somehow. As with the prior video card, suspend was still reliable. How can I troubleshoot this problem more correctly?

openSUSE Firefox/Tbird builds break file-chooser by not listing xdg-desktop-portal as dependency
by David C. Rankin 20 Nov '24

20 Nov '24

All, Anyone running Firefox from the openSUSE builds, can you check with Ctrl+O and see if a file-open dialog appears? The problem is there was a change in settings in Firefox: widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker=1 Where: 0: never 1: always 2: auto This was apparently done because Plasma will only use native file dialogs if the widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-picker is set to 1. All of this "portal" crapola is courtesy of flatpak sandbox issue. However, for anyone running a desktop that doesn't have xdg-desktop-portal installed, your file-open chooser is now gone. No xdg-desktop-portal, no file-open dialog. Apparently when this use was set to "always", there wasn't also a corresponding dependency added to Firefox/Thrunderbird. So if you don't have the portal packages installed, no file-open anymore. If others have broken Firefox I'll write it up. (this also breaks vscode/vscodiaum, etc..) From the Flatpak documentation: Portals are the framework for securely accessing resources from outside an application sandbox. They provide a range of common features to applications, including: determining network status, opening a file with a file chooser, opening URIs, taking screenshots and screencasts ... They just overlooked the fact that people on Linux actually use software that isn't running in a damn container... Who would have thunk? Let me know if that caught you too. I'm happy to author the bug. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

vscode/vscodium file-choose broken on Tumbleweed - No such interface “org.freedesktop.portal.FileChooser”
by David C. Rankin 17 Nov '24

17 Nov '24

All, vscode/vscodium has been broken on opensuse Tumbleweed since 1.90 (1.89 is last working version with fileChooser that opens). Testing the binary 1.95 release today, it's fine on Arch (in Fluxbox), but does not work in openSUSE Tumbleweed. The error when run from the command line looks like the problem: 02:32 wizard:~> /opt/vscodium-bin/codium [56965:1116/023333.000043:ERROR:object_proxy.cc(576)] Failed to call method: org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get: object_path= /org/freedesktop/portal/desktop: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: No such interface “org.freedesktop.portal.FileChooser” [56965:1116/023333.000324:ERROR:select_file_dialog_linux_portal.cc(287)] Failed to read portal version property What is a org.freedesktop.portal and why doesn't Tumbleweed have a“org.freedesktop.portal.FileChooser”? -- David C.

personal offsite backup
by Dave Howorth 16 Nov '24

16 Nov '24

I just read a newspaper article about house fires, and it struck me that one of the things that might well be lost in such a mishap would be my financial records etc that are stored on my computer. All carefully backed up to a local disk :) So I need to consider an offsite backup. What do people use and/or recommend? My initial thinking is to install some sort of disk and computer (pi?) in a nephew's house and install some automatic backup software. So I'm open to suggested implementation ideas or alternative ideas. I'd like to avoid solutions that involve subscriptions. TIA, Dave

AMD video resolution too low
by bent fender 16 Nov '24

16 Nov '24

My temporary GPU card is: VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Juniper XT [Radeon HD 5770] About a month ago the GUI desktop on my most often used linux installations went form high-res (1920x1080) to something rather very low-res. I've never had VoidLinux in GUI yet at all, and all but one of the others use one DM or another. In slackware I always did "startx" and now that too goes to a low-res desktop. Tumbleweed is different! If I carry on with SDDM in low-res to log-in then it too will bring up GUI is low-res BUT if I do it the slackware way (logging-in in terminal mode followed by startx) then I get the previously always successful 1920x1080 desktop ..as I should. So where is Tumbleweed getting this from while all the others have gone tango-uniform? And what's amiss in my other distros? What can I look at to TS?

The Endless Journey to IPv6
by Lew Wolfgang 15 Nov '24

15 Nov '24

Hi Folks, (Sorry for the long post. Please delete now if you're not interested in IPv6 adoption.) In a recent Security Now! podcast host Steve Gibson reported on a blog post by APNIC Labs about the state of IPv6 adoption. I hope this isn't considered off-topic here, after all, it affects all of us. While my work environment is dual-stack, my home network is still IPv4 only, and it may stay that way for as long as I'm around. APNIC Labs is a research division of the Asia Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC), focused on internet infrastructure and operational research, so they should know what they're talking about. They have developed a method to measure IPv6 compatibility from the user's perspective. Their measurements show that after more than 25 years of IPv6 only 41% of users are IPv6 enabled, on a global basis. They show a trend line where if the adoption rate is linear 100% will be reached about the year 2045. Yet they show that the adoption rate for the US hit about 51% in 2019 but has remain flat since then! (this is being written in Nov 2024) They note that the main driver for IPv6 was address starvation on v4. While v4 offers about 3,000,000,000 net address, there are currently about 20,000,000,000 devices on the Internet. Two technologies have enabled this Internet growth: NAT and SNI. NAT (Network Address Translation) allows IPv4 client address space to expand from 32-bits to 48-bits. SNI (Server Name Indication) is an extension to the TLS (Transport Layer Security) protocol that allows multiple SSL/TLS certificates to be associated with one IP address. So these two technologies have basically infinitely increased the effective address space of IPv4. So what is to be gained from IPv6 adoption? From my perspective it increases complexity while reducing security and reliability. This all implies that IPv4 will always be with us. IPv6 will increase globally to some point, but will level off as it has in the US. This of course is anathema to IP purists who claim that the Internet was designed on the principle that every device has a globally unique address. But in reality, is this really necessary? The point is made that DNS has replaced the router for presentation of web content. Interesting. Link to Security Now! podcast show notes. IPv6 notes begin on page 13. https://www.grc.com/sn/sn-998-notes.pdf Here's a video of the podcast starting at the IPv6 part: https://youtu.be/PuqbdXGucH8 Regards, Lew

Thunderbird issue
by Carlos E. R. 13 Nov '24

13 Nov '24

Hi, I use Thunderbird 128.3.1esr. The problem appeared after I have been away from home for a week (I updated when I switched off the computer). When I click on an email in the panel that holds the list of mails, it is interpreted often as a double click, and the email instead opens in a different tab. I have then to move the mouse to the right end and close that extra tab. Once TB complained and said opening some 50 mails would take some long time, was I sure? It wanted to open the entire thread into separate tabs. Instead of listing the thread in the top panel, it thought I had requested to open them all. Only happens with Thunderbird. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from Telcontar, using openSUSE Leap 15.5)
