if you are saying that the login process is slow, then this is what i'm having too! but, it's still a beta.. maybe a dev could help us here explaining this.

hi,
could you provide us with more info? what did you change? (if at all) what port do you enter during the install? do you have another firewall running? (ubuntu has the ufw firewall enabled by default)

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Ran out of space, /var/lib/postgresql == 15GB!

great, but still, i don't see any size limit, which should be considered a failsafe.

hi,
so are you saying that it does work now?
by the way, if i'm not mistaken, by default, the script tries to back up the system starting from the root "/" with some excludes (default ones) right? i think that this should be changed

Yes, eBox logs are stored in PostgreSQL, you should purge them if you need space.

don't you think a 12GB of logs is too much?! shouldn't the system delete them automatically after a given period? or maybe have the option to archive/compress old logs?
with such massive growth of logs, any system is potentially unstable due to possible lack of free space!

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Centralize the base LDAP samba

hi,
i'm not an expert with LDAP, but according to the documentation link J. has provided, the modes section explains about it..
did you try to change you current settings to Master? (in case you didn't, maybe it's better to have a backup of the system 1st..)

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Software RAID?

« on: July 06, 2010, 05:14:30 pm »

hi,
are you talking about building the RAID array After or Before the install of eBox? & what version of eBox do you have? (1.4 or 1.5)

Installation and Upgrades / looks like the current up-to-date 1.4 installed is broken

« on: July 03, 2010, 06:14:36 pm »

hi,
after burning more than 17 hours, it looks like the installer is broken, the install freeze @ 71% (when using the eBox CD installer)
when installing from Ubuntu, both 8.04 & 10.04 Server, the installer is super slow, & i mean it, (the hardware is more than enough) & it seems to freeze forever when building the DB file(s)

Code: [Select]

Setting up postgresql (8.3.11-0ubuntu8.04) ...
Setting up ebox (1.4.8-0ubuntu1~ppa1~hardy1) ...
Adding group `ebox' (GID 121) ...
Done.
Warning: The home dir /var/lib/ebox/ you specified already exists.
Adding system user `ebox' (UID 111) ...
Adding new user `ebox' (UID 111) with group `ebox' ...
The home directory `/var/lib/ebox/' already exists.  Not copying from `/etc/skel'.
adduser: Warning: The home directory `/var/lib/ebox/' does not belong to the user you are currently creating.
Adding user `ebox' to group `adm' ...
Adding user ebox to group adm
Done.
Creating the eboxlogs database
i get the feeling that it's PostgreSQL related, maybe caused by an update (?)

install procedure:
1. install BASIC with NO extra package from the software manager
2. an update, & dist-upgrade
3. adding eBox to sources.list & installing ebox-office

i've repeatedly tried with no avail, with different combos..

PS, i did search for a ticket related to this subject & i could not found, thus i'm posting..


thanks

looks like the only thing i can do with the PM is deleting it!
anyway, the thing is that i think i can contribute (in many various ways..) to this great effort.. that's the reason for my query

by contacting you, you mean opening threads in the forums?

hi,
do you care to elaborate some more? that how would anyone help if he doesn't know what you are seeing/getting! right?

1. what eBox version?
2. what packages do you have installed?
3. what errors/warnings/messages do you have in the logs? (look in /var/log/ebox/)

1. OSX versions?
2. eBox version?
