Installation and Upgrades / Latest core update on 2.2 thows an error
« on: April 12, 2013, 03:23:47 am »
Just tried updating to the latest version of core package on my 2.2 system, when notified that there was a new version available.
Code: [Select]
Some modules reported error when saving changes . More information on the logs in /var/log/zentyal/
directory /etc/zentyal/pre-save does not exist.
Hopefully everything is still OK, as there isn't any option to re-try the update.

Cheers.

Installation and Upgrades / Cannot Install/Run with multiple CPUs
« on: November 01, 2012, 07:52:25 pm »
Trying to install the 3.0 64-bit from DVD.  Every time the system just reboots itself before the initial screen comes up.

After playing around with the advanced options, setting "nolapic" allows the install to run.  This leaves the option also set in the grub menu for booting Zentyal.  Removing that goes into the same reboot cycle.

But, that means that Zentyal is only using one core of my 2 dual-core CPUs.

Not sure if the same issue happens on a single multi-core CPU, but I'm guessing not, otherwise a lot more people would have noticed.

Even upgrading to the 3.2.0-32 kernel has the same issue.

Ideas ??

Cheers.

I'm running a fully up to date 2.2 version.

I have a couple of users that use the "Retrieve mail from external accounts" to get POP mail from the ISP and then pull it from Zentyal.  It's been observed that any e-mail attachment over about 50K is truncated.  Funnily enough, it was the Zentyal_Small_Business_EN_USD.pdf that I have been sent around 3 or 4 times that started me investigating this, as I could never open it.

Here's a listing showing the sizes of the attachments when processed via Zentyal, and also directly from AT&T:

Installation and Upgrades / Command line shutdown/power off
« on: September 25, 2012, 12:18:20 am »
I'm looking at configuring a UPS to shut down my system should it transfer to a UPS.

Is "poweroff" sufficient, or is there a script which will do a controlled shutdown of services prior to a power down.

I should add that this is currently 2.2, but will be moving to 3.0 at some point.

Cheers.

Installation and Upgrades / Unable to start 64-bit VM
« on: September 19, 2012, 01:36:27 am »
I am using the 2.2.4 VM module.  I have defined a VM and set the Operating system to:  amd64 compatible.  However, when I start this machine, using a 64-bit iso image, I get the following:

This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU.

Looking in the domain.xml file, it appears to have correctly set the cpu type:
Code: [Select]
    <os>
        <type arch='x86_64' machine='pc'>hvm</type>
        <boot dev='cdrom'/>
    </os>
But, it looks like there is no 64-bit support enabled:
Code: [Select]
qemu -cpu ?
x86           qemu32
x86          coreduo
x86              486
x86          pentium
x86         pentium2
x86         pentium3
x86           athlon
x86             n270
Does this support have to be downloaded separately.

Cheers.

Installation and Upgrades / Inconsistent detection of multiple NICs
« on: September 17, 2012, 09:58:08 pm »
I've been trying to install both the RCs and release versions of 3.0 in a VM on ESXi.  The VM has 2 NICs defined, of different types.  One is defined as "Flexible", the other an "E1000".  9 times out of 10, the installer will set the Flexible one to be eth0 and the E1000 as eth1.  But on the 10th install, it will flip them around.  On the installer, this is easy to spot, because it displays the NIC type.

However, more troublesome is that the first boot after install will also occasionally switch the adapters around, so what the installer showed as eth0 is now eth1, and vice-versa.  This isn't immediately noticeable, as the NIC type is not displayed on the screen asking for the eth0/1 and Internal/External configurations, and will lead to an incorrect configuration.

So far, I haven't noticed this happening after the install, but that could be because I haven't got much further along than this, due to other issues.

Cheers.

Yesterday the system showed an update to the Cloud Client, 2.2.12, which I applied.  Following a re-boot, for some other system components, I now get the error: Not connected. Check VPN logs in /var/log/openvpn/

Looking at the log, I cannot see any errors.  Also, the Cloud Web page reports a connection:  Connected (since 10 Sep 2012, 06:49), and the Servers page reports 1 server on-line.  So it appears to be connected, or partially, as I don't see any Monitoring data, even though the error message shows otherwise.

In the log, the reboot was at 21:49.

** UPDATE **
Here's a screen shot from the Dashboard.  It shows that there is a Connection Error.  But, it also shows that the Configuration was backed up today, while the error is still showing.   ;D

Cheers.

Installation and Upgrades / Issues with Dynamic DNS option of DHCP
« on: September 06, 2012, 08:18:05 pm »
In trying to activate the Dynamic DNS option of DHCP, I have seen a couple of issues.

Firstly, when selecting Enabled option and then Change, the following error is generated:  element dynamic does not exist.

Secondly, when configuring a domain in DND, the file /etc/bind/keys is generated, but does not contain the key information required by DHCP to handle Dynamic DNS.

Cheers.

Installation and Upgrades / Where to add commands at boot time
« on: August 30, 2012, 09:29:50 am »
Is /etc/rc.local the right place, or will this get overwritten at any point.

Which script is the best for boot time options, like setting disk spindown options.

Cheers.

Installation and Upgrades / Samba created files - Wrong owner
« on: August 29, 2012, 08:43:45 am »
I noticed that files created via Samba show up with the wrong owner.  They all show as "root", but with the correct group:
Code: [Select]
-rwxrw-r--  1 root     __USERS__          0 2012-08-28 23:41 CreateAFile.txtIs there a setting I have missed to ensure the ownership belongs to the user creating the file.

But the other thing is, if I navigate to the same directory, as a local user, I can't create files:

Code: [Select]
eddie@The-Vault:/MyPool/Swapsies$ ls -l Cr*
-rwxrw-r-- 1 root __USERS__ 0 2012-08-28 23:41 CreateAFile.txt
eddie@The-Vault:/MyPool/Swapsies$ cat > NewOne.txt
-su: NewOne.txt: Permission denied

Or is this dependent on the directory I am writing to, as a test using Samba to my home directory does have the correct ownership:

Code: [Select]
-rwxr--r-- 1 eddie __USERS__ 0 2012-08-28 23:47 EvenHere.txt
Cheers.

Installation and Upgrades / What are these e-mails

Installation and Upgrades / Delete of Zafara Incomplete
« on: August 09, 2012, 09:10:51 pm »
I am trying to set up my system to retrieve mail from an external account for a user, and then have that user retrieve that mail via POP3.  After a couple of unsuccessful attempts, I thought that it might be because I didn't have the Groupware, Zafara, loaded, and so loaded it.  However, with further investigation, I realised that this wasn't what I needed, so deleted it.

But, it doesn't remove itself completely.  It still thinks it owns, at least, the POP3 service.  The Dashboard shows POP3 (and Mail) as Stopped.  If I telnet in to port 110, it responds:  +OK Zarafa POP3 gateway ready

So, how do I completely remove Zarafa and get back to Dovecot, as I know for certain that before installing Zarafa, it was Dovecot that answered the call.

I think this also might be tied to this issue.

Cheers.

Installation and Upgrades / 2.3.2 - Cannot re-install to same disk
« on: July 24, 2012, 08:58:05 pm »
In trying to track down other 2.3.2 issues, I am trying to re-install to the same disk as a previous install.  This fails with a "red screen" with the attached message.

At this point, all actions just return to the same screen.

This is the 64-bit version, running in an ESXi VM, and on the initial screen, I selected:  Install Zentyal 2.3-2 (delete all disk)

Cheers.

Installation and Upgrades / ftp ssl configured incorrectly
« on: July 23, 2012, 09:40:50 pm »
It appears that the SSL support option incorrectly sets the following options:
Code: [Select]
% if ($ssl eq 'forcessl') {
#
# Force authenticated login and data via SSL
force_local_logins_ssl=YES
force_local_data_ssl=YES
% }
When "Allow SSL" is selected, those lines are not added to the configuration file.  However those options default to "YES" when not specified.

"Allow SSL" should set to "NO", and "Force SSL" can leave them off, to default.

**Update**
Ticket 4479 created.

Cheers.
