Installation and Upgrades / eBox 1.4 slave-sync draining all systems resources

« on: March 10, 2010, 08:28:30 pm »

Hi,

I've setup a new box as standalone (master). There are several slave-sync instances eating all CPU and draining all system resources.

user@proxy:~$ uptime
 16:20:36 up 22:19,  4 users,  load average: 15.97, 15.23, 12.36

What is this script trying to do since this is a master (standalone) installation?

Installation and Upgrades / dhcp3-client nightmare

« on: March 07, 2010, 05:34:21 am »

Hi All,

I'm having really bad times with dhcp3-client.

I have one eBox installation with 2 internet connections. The main connection is static and the secondary one is DHCP.

The problem is that everitime the secondary renews its lease it overwrites my resolv.conf and erases the main nameservers, then the main connection very unstable.

Most distros, like SuSE and Red Hat, you can simply define PEERDNS=no on the interface configuration so that dhcp client won't touch resolv.conf anymore. But for dhcp3-client there's not such an option.

A workaround would be to use the options "superseed" or "prepend" on /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf, but it has no effect either, since /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf is also overwritten everytime ebox services are restarted.

The only workaround I could come up with was to:

chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf

This is in fact a very dirty and ugly workaround and also after that it's not possible to manage nameservers in eBox.

I wonder if anyone could give advice of a cleanner solution.

Installation and Upgrades / Widgets are not displayed correctly on IE7

« on: March 26, 2009, 02:52:06 pm »

Hi,

I´ve just installed v1.0 for testing and I´ve noticed that IE7 does not display the widgets correctly.

I´ve first tried with the Live_CD 1.0 and than with the Installer_CD 1.0. Both presented the same error.

The client machine is WinXP Pro SP3 - IE7 version 7.0.5730.13

I´ve tried adding the ebox URL to the list of intranet sites and set the security level to the lower as possible, but the problem still persists.

Using firefox in a Linux client it is displayed correctly.

I´ve attached a screenshot showing the problem.
