Installation and Upgrades / Re: Configuring traffic shaping

« on: January 28, 2011, 01:31:28 pm »

Hello,

P2P encryption may also cause some problems.

Obfuscation and encryption make traffic harder to detect and therefore harder to throttle

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Use of uninitialized value $vd in exists at /usr/share/perl5/EBox/Mail.pm

Hello sixstone,

In this piece of code, $vd is undef when the user, for instance, is not authorized to send mail messages. So it is a completely standard situation.

Thanks for letting us know more on this one.

Best,

Marcus

Hello,

Am I the only one experiencing this?

You are not the only one...

I would like to fix it too.

I gave it a shot and now my network is down.

I guess that I unfold something that I shouldn't

Hi relayer,

You may want to try the OpenDNS DNS instead of the DNS provided by your ISP.

Works pretty good.

DNS:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

Best,

There will probably be a lot of people still running the 1.4.x version for quite some time, so your report will be important to them.

1.2 here
Production server - rock solid since the installation - 100% uptime on +12 months in a row

next update planed in about a year

Hi,


I'm assuming that you made a backup of your installation

I crashed my eBox GUI more than once and this is the way that I'm using to restore it :

Code: [Select]

sudo dpkg-reconfigure ebox
actually, this simple line fixed many things without losing the configuration of other services (eBox GUI, lost passwords, admin port, ...).

In worst case, you may have to uninstall eBox and reinstall it running:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get remove ebox && sudo apt-get install ebox
If the thing is really messed up

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get --purge remove ebox && sudo apt-get install ebox

Good luck!

Installation and Upgrades / Re: (need a help) setting a wifi hotspot with captive portal

« on: August 27, 2010, 02:11:36 pm »

Hi s.i.v.a,

Chillispot would probably be the easiest way to achieve your goal.

Get a router that support DD-WRT with Chillispot

The web interface (admin/user) can be done by you or get an already done one (free or not).

Since most solutions are using MySQL, you'll have to do some hacking to get it working with PostgreSQL but thats about it. 

The rest is only simple configurations/administration tasks that you'll have to learn any way to manage your hotspot.

Best,

Marcus

Installation and Upgrades / Re: locked out of ebox

« on: August 26, 2010, 07:36:53 pm »

The default eBox installation (installed using the eBox CD) is including a X server installation so adding a monitor with a keyboard and mouse to the server would get you a very light and basic desktop for you to click around.

Otherwise, you could do a "sudo apt-get install gdm ubuntu-desktop" in a terminal and get a full and pretty Gnome desktop if it doesn't have the X server installed.


Best,

Marcus

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Running eBox as a gateway on my Desktop Ubuntu with WiFi connection

« on: August 26, 2010, 02:05:56 pm »

My home network topology...

WAN <-> xDSL Modem <-> eBox/Zentyal <-> Asus RT-N16 loaded with DD-WRT configured as a bridge <-> LAN/WLAN <-> 9 clients (3 desktops(Ubuntu), 1 laptop(Ubuntu), 1 multimedia center(Ubuntu), 2 smart phones(iPhones) and 2 servers(Ubuntu))

I had to deal with a very low budget like you and this is how I made it.

Other thing;
I didn't want to waste time on setting up a WLAN NIC on the gateway so this is why I opt-in for a wireless enabled switch.

And yes, I'm a numeric addict

News and Announcements / Re: Planning to drop ebox-egroupware support, volunteers for maintaining it?

« on: August 20, 2010, 03:48:45 pm »

I and my customers will be happy as long that there is an integrated groupware solution that comes with eBox.  

Something that will be supported by either Evolution (Gnome), iPhone and RiM.

I experienced the same issue.

End up purging ebox-usersandgroups and reinstalling it.

Problem vanished (with all the users and groups aswell).

Thx for your post - it helped me figuring out what was the problem.

It should be showing there...

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Web admin password.

« on: August 15, 2010, 01:54:59 pm »

I had to do the same (reseting the password) and this is the way I made it:

Step 1:
Log in the server as a sudoer or root using ssh

Step 2:
Run this command

sudo dpkg-reconfigure ebox

Step 3:
Enter a new password when prompted

Step 4:
Fire up Firefox, visit your admin page and enter your newly created password

My 2 pennies
You should consider using a tool like KeyPass and say good bye to lost passwords.

Good luck
