I am trying to configure SSL on an old opensuse server: openSUSE 11.4 (x86_64) VERSION = 11.4 CODENAME = Celadon I enabled the apache SSL module: apache2ctl -M Loaded Modules: core_module (static) mpm_prefork_module (static) http_module (static) so_module (static) actions_module (shared) alias_module (shared) auth_basic_module (shared) authn_file_module (shared) authz_host_module (shared) authz_groupfile_module (shared) authz_default_module (shared) authz_user_module (shared) autoindex_module (shared) cgi_module (shared) dir_module (shared) env_module (shared) expires_module (shared) include_module (shared) log_config_module (shared) mime_module (shared) negotiation_module (shared) setenvif_module (shared) ssl_module (shared) userdir_module (shared) php5_module (shared) reqtimeout_module (shared) deflate_module (shared) headers_module (shared) rewrite_module (shared) Syntax OK And configured the virtual host providing the SSL certificates (by copying and editing the vhost-ssl.template and renaming it https.xxxxxxxx.conf) and restarted apache. When I try to connect I get this error: openssl s_client -connect localhost:443 connect: Connection refused connect:errno=111 This is the openssl version installed: OpenSSL 1.0.1p 9 Jul 2015 (Library: OpenSSL 1.0.0c 2 Dec 2010) If it can help this is my iptables config: iptables -L -vn Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 4641 packets, 815K bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 1691 packets, 4745K bytes) pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination Can you help me understand why I am not able to connect in localhost to the 443 port?

I run latest OpenSUSE tumbleweed, KDE only. I wish to switch the default session from Plasma X11 to Plasma wayland. What should I do to achieve this? The login manager I use comes from sddm. And I can indeed manually log in from the login manager to a wayland session.

I'm following a GPU passthrough guide online which requires me to add "pci-stub" to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules. But it doesn't exist. I'm using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

I am using SUSE Studio to make a custom version of openSUSE with the KDE 4 desktop. A small problem is that the background is set by default to the chameleon light bulb. I suspect I can fix this manually by adding a line to the script that runs at the end of a build. So, what is this command, if it exists?

I am getting an error: Error: cannot listen on the TCP port: listen tcp4 :53: bind: address already in use When creating a container that gets his own IP address, this means that regardless of if there is some host program listening at port 53 the container should have no problems listening in the same port because his IP is not the same as the Host. The command I am using to start the container is the following: sudo podman run -d --network podnet -p 53:53 --name test-container test-image And inspecting the network podnet with sudo podman inspect podnet give the following:

I am in a OpenSUSE Leap Micro machine.

**Short version**: Rebooted for the first time in months, following daily updates; proprietary **Nvidia** drivers; **no GUI** (KDE); no smoking gun (so far) in logs. **Specs**: - openSUSE 13.2 (64-bit), fully up to date - kernel 3.16.7-35-desktop - Nvidia GeForce 970 - G04 drivers v361.28-33.1.x86_64 (latest version at download.nvidia.com/opensuse/13.2) - but latest version available by direct download from Nvidia is 361.42 **Long version**: I have a desktop computer with an Nvidia GeForce 970 video card, and two monitors connected to it, one via DVI and the other one via HDMI. I am running openSUSE 13.2, which I update almost daily. Currently at kernel 3.16.7-35-desktop, and use the proprietary Nvidia drivers, currently at 361.28-33.1.x86_64, for the sake of games. That is the latest version of the drivers available from the official repository for openSUSE 13.2, although v361.42 is available for direct download and installation *the hard way*. Kernel and video drivers had been updated at least once since the last time I rebooted (or even logged out), which was at least a few months ago. Now I have rebooted, and cannot get into the GUI - KDE. The console output (on the DVI monitor, which is where grub2 normally runs; the HDMI monitor, which is my primary display, now doesn't get any signal at all. From the boot process is not perfectly consistent in where it stops: sometimes: Reached target Graphical Interface Sometimes: Starting Command Scheduler Sometimes: Started SuSEfirewall2 phase 2 But it is always *after* I *Started X Display Manager*. CTRL+ALT+F7 shows a completely blank screen. 1 through 6 are normal console terminals, and 8 shows just a flashing underscore. I have force-reinstalled the four Nvidia driver packages (G04) to make sure that they are compiled for my current kernel. Interestingly, some of the package names are 361.28.k3.16.6_2-33.1.x86_64, which suggests that they are meant for kernel 3.16.6-2, whereas I am running 3.16.7-35. And compiling for 3.16.6-2 fails, with files-not-found /lib/modules/3.16.6-2-desktop/modules.{order|builtin}, although otherwise that folder looks the same as the modules for 3.16.7-35-desktop and 3.16.7-32-desktop. journalctl --full -b Shows messages from kdm indicating a successful start - e.g.: plymouth is active on VT7, reusing for :0. And kdeinit5: opened connection to :0. The only messages I can find in the boot logs that *might* be a cause for concern are: - NVRM: Your system is not currently configured to drive a VGA console on the primary VGA device. The NVIDIA Linux graphics driver requires the use of a text0mode VGA console. Use of other console drivers including, but not limited to, vesafb, may result in corruption and stability problems, and is not supported. - Registry: Xlib: extension "XEVIE" missing on display :0 - QXcbConnection: XCB error: 148 (Unknown) /var/log/Xorg.0.log Has only one message, right at the end of the file, that looked in any way suspicious to me: NVIDIA(0): ACPI: failed to connect to the ACPI event daemon; the daemon may not be running or the "AcpidSocketPath" X configuration option may not be set correctly. When the ACPI daemon is available, the NVIDIA X display driver will try to use it to receive ACPI event notifications. Booting into Windows, everything works as expected, so I am ruling out an issue with the video card and/or HDMI monitor. I have not yet tried uninstalling the Nvidia drivers and switching to nouveau, nor manually updating the Nvidia drivers to 361.42. I can get into the GUI as normal by rolling the system back to an earlier snapper snapshot, but would rather figure out the current issue than potentially lose months of files. I am willing to dist-upgrade the system to Leap 42.1, but not without good reason to think that doing so would fix the GUI issue. Interestingly, the version of the Nvidia drivers from the official repository is the same for 42.1 as it is for 13.2: 361.28.

I have just run `zypper up on a openSUSE 15.6 computer and the installation of the new kernel says dracut-install error: /sbin/sysctl is pointing to itself` and indeed this symbolic link is a loop:

king:~ # l /sbin/sysctl
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Feb 21 15:59 /sbin/sysctl -> /sbin/sysctl
~> uname -a
Linux king 6.4.0-150600.23.50-default #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri May  9 22:09:52 UTC 2025 (dee422c) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

(I have two other openSUSE 15.6 computers where `/sbin/sysctl` is a elf 64-bit binary of Feb 21 same timestamp which is 27288 bytes in size). Do I need to repair this? by copying the binaries?

I'm trying to figure out why the graphical login prompt won't show up at the login page. I see the wallpaper just fine, but the graphical login prompt won't show up no matter how long I wait. So, In the console, I've done init 3 to shut down gdm and then restarted it with init 5. The problem still persists. I downloaded and installed kdm and set it as the default display manager through editing /etc/systemconfig/displaymanager. It worked fine, except that the main menu and many other items in the panels are gone. So I removed gdm with zypper and then reinstalled it again. I set the gdm as the default display manager and restarted gdm. The same problem shows up again. So I tried to bypass the login page entirely by enabling autologin. I put my username in the autologin section of /etc/systemconfig/displaymanager and restarted gdm. No go, I still get the same problem. I'm thinking it mightn't be gdm related and that something else is interfering with gdm startup, but I'm stumped at this point. Any ideas?

I installed WSL2 on my computer, and with it I grabbed OpenSUSE so I could get some experience with a distro besides Ubuntu. I sideloaded OpenSUSE 15.1, and it installed fine and loads into the terminal fine. Now, in order to use things that have a GUI [I'm trying to get KDE], I need some sort of X11 window manager. I'm using Xming, which is probably the most popular one. When I set the $DISPLAY variable with

DISPLAY=0.0

, it runs fine, and using

$DISPLAY

returns the same thing that I inputted. However, when I run

, I get the following:

$DISPLAY is not set or cannot connect to the X server.

. What might be causing this issue, and how might I get around it?

In OpenSUSE 11.4 sysvinit-tools package contains startproc, killproc and checkproc binaries which according to /etc/init.d/skeleton file and OpenSUSE documentation should be used in Sys-V type of init scripts. What is the idea of those binaries? Couldn't one achieve the same functionality of startproc, killproc and checkproc with nice, sudo, sleep and other similar tools?

how do i install the package xorg-x11-font-utils for opensuse? I need it for microsoft fonts from here https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mscorefonts2/rpms/msttcore-fonts-installer-2.6-1.noarch.rpm but it always complains that iam missing the package xorg-x11-font-utils. This is the error message it get sudo rpm -i https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mscorefonts2/rpms/msttcore-fonts-installer-2.6-1.noarch.rpm error: Failed dependencies: xorg-x11-font-utils is needed by msttcore-fonts-installer-2.6-1.noarch Sadly its not packages for opensuse, so i googled but there are only sites which say its suitable for fedora, centos or rhel. Does somebody know where i can get it for opensuse tumbleweed

I have installed both Windows and SUSE Linux (11.4) on my Dell Inspiron 14r laptop. Both are working properly. I am facing one strange problem. I went to my Linux OS WiFi was working fine and I pressed fn+f2 in-order to disable WiFi. WiFi got disable successfully but when I again pressed fn+f2 it is not enabling WiFi. I can see WiFi disabled. Instead of that bluetooth icon got enable. Then I switched to Windows and again pressed fn+f2 and WiFi got enabled. Then I switched to Linux OS and I can see my WiFi enabled. Again I pressed fn+f2 and it got disabled and I'm not able to enable it by pressing fn+f2 again. How can I enable WiFi on SUSE (11.4)?

Trying to install playwright with npx playwright install i got the error

Update It seems the dependencies are needed for webkit (safari)

OpenSUSE (among other distributions) uses **snapper** to take snapshots of *btrfs* partitions. Some people think the default snapshot intervals take up too much space too quickly, but whether or not you believe that, there are times when you want to clear space on your filesystem and often find that the *btrfs* snapshots are taking a significant amount of space. Or, in other cases you may want to clear the filesystem of all excess data before moving it to/from a VM or changing the storage medium or something along those lines. But, I can't seem to find a command to quickly wipe all of the snapshots **snapper** has taken, either via snapper or another tool. How would I do this?

I am using many non ASCII characters in my filenames and up untill now everyone worked correctly. I am running **openSUSE Tumbleweed** and currently updated to the **20191118**. I have noticed that my locale output is now showing

I have tried to change settings by using localectl set-locale LANG="en_US.utf-8" but no success, since after the update they seem to reset. I am not sure whether this is an actual bug somewhere (in Dolphin, KDE / Plasma, openSUSE, etc.) or some settings have changed?

I want my phone (Samsung Galaxy S21) to be able to exchange files with my laptop (Dell Mobile Precision Workstation 7770 running openSUSE Leap 15.6 with KDE) using bluetooth OBEX whenever it is in range. I have been using bluetooth-autoconnect in a cron job on the laptop to repeatedly try and connect to the phone, which it successfully does when it is in range. However it connects for audio, which causes problems when I try to make or receive phone calls. I looked at the per-device connection options in the phone settings, and it only offers "audio" or "phone", neither of which I want. The bluetooth control panel on the laptop doesn't seem to offer any per-device protocol choices at all. How can I make the the laptop and the phone automatically connect for OBEX only when they are in range?

I would like to test kvm with opensuse tumbleweed. I successfully installed kvm, but I am stuck in creating my first VM. The trick is that I want to have the VM's directory in an external HDD. When I set the directory of the VM file I get this error message: > Impossible de terminer l'installation : « Cannot access storage file > '/run/media/lowley/424b7b47-883d-42ac-b6f3-994c0c01c01f/sauvegardes/fedora-haskell.qcow2' > (as uid:471, gid:10): Permission denied » I am not very strong in managing user rights. I set root belong to the kvm group, but I still have this error. can you help me? thank you olivier EDIT I launch it by a entering virt-manager, as me and not as root. In fact I have a shortcut on the desktop.

I need the following sample script to run when OpenSuSe 11 is booting: #!/bin/sh i=0; while true; do "SOME COMMAND FOR SAVING i TO ANOTHER PLACE" &> /dev/null i=$((i+1)) sleep 1 done So basically just add 1 every second on a variable and then send the variable to another system. I saved this script at /bin/user/script.sh Starting the script from console works perfectly.. /bin/user/script.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 & First I added this line to the existing /etc/init.d/boot.local that comes with OpenSuSe, however this was not working so stable. Sometimes it was started and sometimes not. I thought because of user rights, but even after chmod 755 script.sh The problem continues. So then I made my own /etc/init.d/myscript Content of /etc/init.d/myscript: #! /bin/sh # # /etc/init.d/myscript # ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: myscript # Required-Start: # Required-Stop: # Default-Start: 3 5 # Default-Stop: 0 # Short-Description: Start myscript while booting # Description: ... ### END INIT INFO # # # case "$1" in start) echo "Starting myscript." /bin/user/script.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 & ;; stop) echo "Stopping myscript." killall -9 script.sh ;; *) echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}" exit 1 ;; esac Then I did the insserv command for my script: insserv myscript Starting and stopping from console works.. /etc/init.d/myscript start /etc/init.d/myscript stop but again no sign of life for myscript after booting. What am I doing wrong? How can I successfully run a script every time when the system starts? **Update 2015.11.12: This script is working and starting correctly on boot on OpenSuSe 11.**

I installed a fresh OpenSuse TW system on my machine, and everything went flawlessly, except for YouTube. I installed the codecs with opi codecs; I enabled/disabled hardware acceleration and enabled/disabled media.hardware-video-decoding.force-enabled; I enabled/disabled layers.acceleration.force-enabled; I enabled/disabled gfx.webrender.all; None of these solutions worked.

I thought I'd do some cleaning up, so I ran:

zypper packages --orphaned | awk -F'|' 'NR==0 || NR==1 || NR==2 || NR==3 || NR==4 {next} {print $3}' \
    | grep -v Name | sudo xargs zypper remove --clean-deps

And somehow zypper itself was one of the packages that got removed. So now zypper is missing, how do I go about getting it back?
