Installation and Upgrades / Re: Retrieve mail from external account truncates attachments

« on: October 03, 2012, 06:54:57 pm »

Bump.

I am willing to provide the information to investigate this, if pointed in the right direction.

This is turning into a show-stopper for me.

Cheers.

Run fetchmail on debug mode, I never saw something like this.

So how do I do that.  I found /etc/init.d/fetchmail, which has a "debug-run" option, so I thought I was good to go.  Except, in that script:

Code: [Select]

.
.
CONFFILE="/etc/fetchmailrc"
.
.
if [ ! -e $CONFFILE ]; then
    exit 0
fi

.
.
/etc/fetchmailrc does not exist, so the script does nothing.  I did find /etc/ebox-fetchmail.rc, which is the correct file, but couldn't see where fetchmail was launched using this, to be able to add the relevant debug options.

Also is there a way to verify the file once Zentyal has retrieved it, before the user pulls it.  Or is there also a way to debug the POP operation.

It probably doesn't help without debug, but here's the relevant messages from the log:

Installation and Upgrades / [SOLVED] Retrieve mail from external account truncates attachments

« on: September 29, 2012, 12:45:31 am »

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:

Code: [Select]

ls -l *pdf
-rwxr--r-- 1 eddie users 83116 Sep 27 13:41 ATT_American\ Express\ _\ Payment\ ....pdf*
-rwxr--r-- 1 eddie users 63537 Sep 27 12:53 ATT_Capitalware_Where_to_find.pdf*

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Zentyal as intermediate mail server

« on: September 27, 2012, 06:39:39 pm »

- as external PO3 mailboxes exist and you want to keep it, enable transparent POP3 proxy and active "filter spam" and "filter proxy"

My understanding of this, is that the users still configure POP to pull from the ISP, and Zentyal "intercepts" the request, does the mail retrieval and optionally spam, AV scanning, etc, before passing the mail on to the requestor.

I don't understand your question about POP mail download. Currently, Zentyal mail retrieval is configured in "user corner", per account.

Isn't this configuration used when Zentyal pulls the mail from the ISP, and then the uses configure Zentyal as their POP server to get mail.

Or, quite possibly, have I misunderstood one or other of the mail retrieval options.

Cheers.

It looks like the rules for networks:  75-persistent-net-generator.rules  is not being run.

The file: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules  only contains the original comments.  No interface designations.

Cheers.

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 / Re: Zentyal 3.0 manage-logs process using 50-100% cpu and using 80% RAM

« on: September 24, 2012, 07:50:18 pm »

I was going to open a new thread on the high CPU issues I've been seeing, but maybe this is the right place, even though I couldn't tie it down to Logs usage.

I've tried installing both the RCs and the released 3.0 64-bit version, in an ESXi VM, and in all cases have seen some form of 100% CPU usage causing a stall and lockout of the Administration interface, at which point I'm never sure if the actions are completed or not.  The only way out, I've found is to re-boot.

I've attached a couple of screen shots, to show that these are not just transitory occurrences.  The first shows the CPU usage over an hour, showing that the CPU usage is almost constantly at 100%.  The dips in the graph are, from memory, when the browser threw the "Script not responding" pop-up.  Other than responding to the pop-ups, where I actually could, there was nothing else going on.  I was the only user connected.

On the times I have been able to get a "top" running, the processes that appear to be using the CPU are a mix of everything, mostly unexpected, as can be seen in the 2nd screen shot.  However, it is definitely Firefox using the most.

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.

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Zentyal Cloud connection issue with Cloud Client 2.2.12

Yeah, maybe that was it.  By unsubscribing and re-subscribing everything appears to be OK now.

Installation and Upgrades / [SOLVED] Zentyal Cloud connection issue with Cloud Client 2.2.12

« on: September 10, 2012, 06:08:05 pm »

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.   

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 / Re: Where to add commands at boot time

« on: August 31, 2012, 12:35:57 am »

fstab then

How.  AFAIK That only controls the mounts.

I need to use hdparm to set the spindown time.  Unless you know a different way.

Cheers.

Thanks.

This is not for the disk I have Zentyal loaded on.  I have 5 other disks in the machine as a media library, and it's those I want to spin down.

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.
