Installation and Upgrades / Re: Zentyal have Vary Bad Public support!
« on: September 10, 2010, 10:18:52 am »Zentyal needs more community people hacking away at it, thats all. If you want to only be a user demanding quick support its better to pay someone for their time and effort. You dont have people fixing your house, tuning your car or taking your dog for a walk for free right?
If you on the other hand want to give and take alike, write good replicatable bug reports. There is nothing in this world thats more depressing than not being able to replicate a bug. If you got the time, try finding the bugs in the code and post the fixes.
That way, if enough people do this the work is spread out on many people that its enough if you do this once and again instead of the Zentyal developers spending half their time triaging bugs instead of implementing new functions.
Mind you this is just me, not Zentyal talking. What their position is i dont know at all.
You miss the point, I do both of what you suggest at least 20 postings about Zentyal 2.0 some solved and solution posted, some no support whatsoever. The problom is in crucial cases where I cannot continue to help myself and others cant help either is for example the posgress datatables password to fix "At own risk" some malformed data caused by zentyal BUG. like debris left over from an File Share that was deleted messing up the /etc/samba/smb.conf file - it is crucial to solve and fix my data else i need to re-install
Also if I now install any other application that need postgress - I'd need that password!
The issue in this posting is that Zentyal need to respond when its obvious that community can't like this issue with the passwords.

Installation and Upgrades / [solved] Zentyal Samba BUG #02
« on: September 10, 2010, 09:15:28 am »
If you make an share in Zentyal Dashboard I would expect the file location will be created and properly chown / chmod so it is readable / usable
I had to go create the shares by hand and run
In this case I have made my shares in filesystem but the same issue prevail if maid under zentyal share location [NOTE: zentyal method is correct as it is supposed to be in the /var or the /home tree]
Please add some checks to get this automated - It will only cause some unanswered forum postings or bad reputation points
Thanx

Installation and Upgrades / Zentyal Samba BUG #01 [reported to http://trac.zentyal.org]
« on: September 10, 2010, 09:09:05 am »
I have created shares, allocated groups for read/write and then deleted the shares then only to find two BUG's
The delete process only deleted a portion of the data from postgress tables. this means that if you make another change to File Sharing a "broken" config entry gets made in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file. Thi is rather messy and we need to edit the postgres table to clear it. however I dont have the postgress database password not can I get it anyware.
I'll make a seperate post about The second error

Please make sure the DNS system get more attention as the current config will simply not fore properly if used as Primary.
I will close this post as Solved and make new posts with some other bugs I found.

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Zentyal have Vary Bad Public support!
« on: September 10, 2010, 08:45:12 am »Well, I think that this community and especially developers are doing fine. Answers are mostly polite and informative. Of course, before any good answer, you need to know details about the system installed.All of the products have individual support sites like slapd, postgress, samba etc. and yes answers does exist - What I speak about is not "External Fixes", but rather BUGS found inside Zentyal, I have jotted down 3 confirmed bugs I found in 2 Hours in another posting, and I have about 5 more to post, the point is there is Absolutely NO zentyal activity in support.
Atmosphere is open and if somebody finds a bug it is admitted and corrected in a reasonable time.
I've been using Sme Server for years. Good product but take a look questions/answers in forums and you know what I'm talking about. It is a tedious place for a part time Linux administrator.
Jysse
For instance samba smb.conf file seems to get generated by data in postgres tables, but even if we ask we cant get the password for the postgress table to fix the broken data. (remember if i mess in there and break things i can't complain) however i now have deleted shares and zentyal did not cler the sql data properly as a result that I have some funny "shares" that I cant get rid off
[/data/company] << this is wrong It was supposed to be
[company]
path = /data/company
there is NO way that the Dashboard can show that info so I can use Zentyal to delete it. It has to be done using an SQL statement and the bug must then be reported.
For this and plain common decency Zentyal should have at least one go-between person to support us even if he initially need to speek to developers to get the answers.

My Point is that If Zentyal Only support paying customers their distribution will be limited to only a small protion of the community, it is the non paying trail testers that eventually generate the sales! Keep them happy.
Also If they then try and get marketing byreleasing an Open version with no support it only damage their products with incredible impact. It is the responsibility of the Maintainer of Opensource to support its users - or it will go down the drain in long term.

Installation and Upgrades / [NOT Solved but Better] Zentyal have Vary Bad Public support!
« on: September 09, 2010, 11:09:01 pm »
I have used a lot of Open-Source Applications and have had many Comunity driven Support from them one good sample is ISPConfig Control Pannel.
Zentyl Absolutel stand last in the line, I see daily pleny people asking for support as Zentyal is still full of BUGS and We get no support absolutely nothing!
DONT tell me you have Open Source and then Only support people Paying for Professional support, then you will probably miss the boat totally!
Ubuntu themself at least answer some questions fairly quick, but appart from that the only inter-action I seen so far from Zentyal is little entries to try and get people to define their problems better.
Well my problem is that We need a little more support - especially because the Comunity Documentation is non-existing!
Please supply us with at least one forum guy that can go bug the internal team for some answers and the comunity will help you grow more popular!

Solution presented itself in "Clean" re-install from released version and new Ubuntu Install - Looks like the beta debris messed up the install for zentyal.
aptitude remove even purge dont uninstall all the dependent's and their configs that cause the new install to be messed up

Installation and Upgrades / Asterisk Hardware
« on: September 08, 2010, 11:42:42 am »
I wish to connect to an PSTN using PRI line with asterisk. My current solution is Elastix or similar.
I saw an echo from the ebox-asterisk package while installing about "could not locate xxxxxxx hardware.
I would like to know what hardware I can obtain and will Digium equipment work?
Thank you
