please kindly help me I made a super big mistake trying to deinstall apparmor

[ATT1]

I am so sorry....

I made a big mistake! !!!

I wanted to get rid of the "apparmor" error messages in the messages / dmesg log.
So I googled and I thought it was safe to remove apparmor. No, it wasn't !

What I did was :

sudo systemctl stop apparmor
sudo systemctl disable apparmor
sudo apt remove --assume-yes --purge apparmor

Now the system told me it would remove all zentyal* components too!  HOLY SHIT NOOOOOOOOO!

I pressed control-c to break the deinstallation process very hard, but I doubt that really helped.

In a desperate attempt to fix my mistake, I did:

sudo apt install zentyal*

But I ran into some errors:

How do I fix my Zentyal installation now ?

SORRY!!!! Please, any help is greatly appreciated. I suppose I am sitting on a more-than-half-broken Zentyal installation now.....

[ATT1]

Addition: Surprisingly, the Zentyal server runs well enough for Users to log in and access the samba shares. A miracle!
Also, mail seems to somewhat "work" - not tested , to what degree of "work" exactly...
But what does not work is the web interface at https://zentyalserver:8443  - it indefinitely says "waiting for Zentyal to get ready" , which never happens.
As I said before, any good clues are welcome of just what to do to get the system in a stable and working state again.

Edit: Addendum: I am also getting an error every 10 minutes as e-mail to root:

Subject: Cron <root@srv01> [ -x /usr/share/zentyal-mail/fetchmail-update ]
    && /usr/share/zentyal-mail/fetchmail-update

Can't call method "isEnabled" on an undefined value at
/usr/share/zentyal-mail/fetchmail-update line 16.

I also don't know how to fix this.

Hi,

Yep, it was a huge mistake xD

If I were you I would do the following:

1. The status of the Zentyal packages that are installed - including half ones -:
   
   

Code: [Select]

   
    dpkg -l | egrep 'zen(buntu|tyal)-’
   
       
2. If there are broken packages:
   
   

Code: [Select]

   
    dpkg -l | egrep -v '^ii’
   
       

Once you know the status of the packages, you can make a plan, for instance, if there is a broken package, you can try to solve it by running the following command:

Code: [Select]


sudo dpkg —configure -a


NOTE: Sometimes that command must be run a few times until it fixes all the broken packages. Also, in certain cases, you must run to fix the broken packages in a particular order.

Code: [Select]


sudo dpkg —configure zentyal-core

sudo dpkg —configure zentyal-mail


Also, another important thing to do is to analyze the following log files in order to determine if there is a critical error:

- /var/log/zentyal/zentyal.log
- /var/log/syslog

Finally, I recommend you generate a system report and analyze it.

Code: [Select]


sudo /usr/share/zentyal/smart-admin-report


Hope it helps you to recover your Zentyal server.

As you can see, there are several packages that are broken (ii is the right state).

My recommendation is:

1. Do a mark in the following log files before trying to fix those broken packages:
   
   

Code: [Select]

   
    echo ‘#### DEBUGGING’ | sudo tee -a /var/log/dpkg.log

2. Try to fix the packages using the mentioned commands.
   
    NOTE: Remember what I said about the fix attempts.
   
3. Monitor the log files from step one in order to identify the issues that might arise when the package is being fixed.
4. Check if any of the broken packages were fixed.

Basically, you must try to fix each package and debug the errors by analyzing the log files and trying again to fix them.

About the Fetchmail error, you can ignore it for now because the Mail module is not correctly installed.

Oh well, NTP seems to be very crucial, so I wanted to install it first, but I always get

log/zentyal/zentyal.log

No idea how to get past this one, and it seems to be crucial, it really needs NTP....

[ATT1]

In /usr/share/perl5/EBox/NTP.pm I changed out line 122 so it looks like this :


sub initialSetup
{
    my ($self, $version) = @_;

    # Create default rules and services and add default servers
    # only if installing the first time
    unless ($version) {
        my $servers = $self->model('Servers');
        for my $i (0..2) {
#            $servers->add(server => "$i.pool.ntp.org");
        }

So the "add server..." is commented out, but this is ugly and I know it.

However it allowed me to proceed after the "NTP" problem.

[ATT1]

After I got the NTP to be tricked into being installed, I also re-installed some stuff and now it looks like this:

Not so bad , and the web management CAN be found with http://srv01:8443   , BUT  the user management is gone :

"Element not found
we're sorry
The request contains a reference to a element which doest not exists
If you typed the page address manually, please check it
Maybe the element was removed and the page address is not longer valid
It can be also a parameters cache error, in this case you can navigate again to the page using the left menu
If you need more help, you may want visit Zentyal homepage for documentation and mailing lists"

So yes its quite fucked up, still.  :-(

[ATT1]

I also get some e-mail every 10 minutes saying:

    /usr/share/zentyal-mail/fetchmail-update

Well, you were able to fix all the packages except one, so it is good news.

The error you get about ‘Element not found’ was reported [here](https://github.com/zentyal/zentyal/issues/2126) and fixed [here](https://github.com/zentyal/zentyal/issues/2121) with version zentyal-samba 7.0.3 you already use.

I guess Zentyal is not fully managing the DNS and DC services and that is the reason you are getting that error. My recommendation is to disable temporarily the DC and DNS modules, then ensure all the related services are stopped, after that, enable again those modules and check if the issue is gone. Finally, you will need to enable its dependencies like the mail module.

The command to get the services and stop them if running - after you disable the modules - are:

Code: [Select]


sudo systemctl status samba-ad-dc named


Two important things to consider before proceeding with the above recommendation:

1. There is a change that after disabling those modules, some of them could not start again due to some issue we do not see yet.
2. You should do a backup now that you can, you can try a configuration backup for that purpose because it will contain your LDAP structure (users, groups, etc) but NO the data like shared folders.
