Create Let's Encrypt Certificate Authority (CA), SSL Certificate in openSUSE Leap 15.x

2019-04-23T11:35:00.000+02:00

If you're running apache2 web server in openSUSE Leap 15.x,
create a virtual host config file named /etc/apache2/conf.d/mydomain.example.com.conf

1. Configure apache2 for https:

# vim /etc/apache2/conf.d/mydomain.example.com.conf

<VirtualHost *:443>
DocumentRoot "/srv/www/htdocs/owncloud"
ServerName mydomain.example.com
SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile /etc/certbot/live/mydomain.example.com/fullchain.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/certbot/live/mydomain.example.com/privkey.pem
<Directory "/srv/www/htdocs/owncloud">
DirectoryIndex index.html info.php index.php
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

----------------------------------------

# systemctl restart apache2

----------------------------------------

2. Install certboot:

# zypper in certbot python-certbot python-certbot-apache

----------------------------------------

3. Configure data for certboot:

# vim /etc/certbot/cli.ini

rsa-key-size = 4096
server = https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
email = mailaddress@something.com
domain = mydomain.example.com
authenticator = webroot
webroot-path = /srv/www/htdocs/owncloud

----------------------------------------

3.1. Configure data for letsencrypt:

# vim /etc/letsencrypt/cli.ini

rsa-key-size = 4096
server = https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory
email = mailaddress@something.com
authenticator = webroot
webroot-path = /srv/www/htdocs/owncloud
domain = mydomain.example.com

----------------------------------------

4. Create cert:

# certbot --authenticator webroot --installer apache
# certbot --apache

# systemctl stop apache2
# systemctl start apache2

----------------------------------------

5. Auto renew cert with cron, every 30 days in 2:00 AM:

# crontab -e

# SSL certificates renew
0 2 1 * * /usr/bin/certbot renew

CTRL key stopped working on HP ProBook 450

2017-03-02T20:43:00.000+01:00

Left CTRL key stopped working on HP ProBook 450 G2

My laptop runs on Linux and Windows 10 and on both systems the CTRL key did
not work properly.

BIOS was the problem.

If your CTRL key does not work, first check if you can use FN key
instead of CTRL.
For example, FN+C is the same as CTRL+C or FN+V is the same as CTRL+V.
You can try this with a line from a text.
If the FN key works as CTRL key then

turn off your laptop,
unplug it,
TAKE OUT THE BATTERY for 10-15 seconds and then put it back in and turn
the laptop on.

The CTRL key should work normally now.
