Re: [Sugar-devel] [Systems] trac breakage

[Samuel Cantero]

Hello everyone,

In an effort to fix our user spam problem with bugs.sl.o I've added the
reCaptcha plugin [1] for users registration. I've had to use the forked
version on github because the official one was not working. I've also had
to fix the SSL support in the reCaptcha plugin. The plugin was loading
insecure content in a our secure page, therefore, the browser was blocking
the captcha image. The fixed version is in my github [2].

In order to check the verification by email in the registration module, I've
enabled the trac logging and I've found two problems:

1) The email was being sent by trac but sunjammer was not sending it. I've
found the following error in /var/log/mail.log:

auth-worker(25213): Error: pam(socialhelp,18.85.44.59): pam_acct_mgmt()
failed: Authentication token is no longer valid
warning: rev-18-85-44-59.sugarlabs.org[18.85.44.59]: SASL PLAIN
authentication failed: Password expired

I've checked the *shadowLastChange* value in our LDAP and I found 16316.
I've check the current numbers of days since Jan 1st 1970 and it is 16874.
So, It has been 558 days since the last time we've changed socialhelp
password. According to ShadowMax, it expires every 365 days. I fixed this.

2) Sometimes trac was trying to send emails to the username instead of the
user email. However this does not happen always. This is a bug in the
Account Manager Plugin [3]. I've cloned the svn official repo in my github
[4] and I've applied the patch from [3] in order to fix it. Now we are
using my repo instead of the official one. It is important to notice that
the verification email will be send after the first login. Apparently now
it is fixed.

Regarding to the inability to access the user page, I've checked our
current users and I found 97426 users. We had a lot of spam here. I've
checked this by doing:

sqlite> select count(*) from session;
97426

In addition, there was some integrity issues with our sqlite database. I've
checked it by doing:

$ sqlite3 trac.db "pragma integrity_check"
wrong # of entries in index session_last_visit_idx
wrong # of entries in index sqlite_autoindex_session_1
wrong # of entries in index sqlite_autoindex_session_attribute_1

Those integrity issues do not enable us to remove users using the
trac-admin utility. I fixed this by:

$ sqlite3 trac.db "reindex session"
$ sqlite3 trac.db "reindex session_attribute"

I tried to remove all suspicious users with the trac-admin utility and
directly by database but this is almost imposible. I guess we should delete
all users and ask them to re-register again. However, *I don't want
to proceed before your approval.*

Finally, I couldn't build the trac image with the I've had to use plugin.
This is used for rejecting contributions that contain spam. Apparently the
official repo is down. Maybe this is a temporary problem. I'll try it again
within a few hours in order to enable it again.

Best regards,

Samuel C.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Sugarizer Activity Set - GSOC 2016

[James Cameron]

Out of synchronisation is mismatch between button state and moon
image.  It happens on first click with empty cache or fresh browser
instance.  It does not happen on page refresh.

Reproducer:

1.  start Firefox and open
http://zhirzh.github.io/sugarizer-activity-moon/

2.  wait for loading to complete,

3.  click once in the Toggle Hemisphere View button,

Expected result: both the button and moon image should change state.

Observed result: only the button changes state.

4.  click again in the Toggle Hemisphere View button,

Observed result: both the button and moon image change state.

Let's have another go then.  See what the objections are from the

Yes. Was not accepted by sugar upstream.
I upstreamed all that was possible, the only changes that were developed
just for OLPC-AU were the changes needed to deal with the complex network
environments
common in Australian schools.

Yea that has roots to the old ActivityCentral fork, any reason why this has
not been 'upstreamed' from OneEducation(OLPC-AU) to SugarLabs?

Re: [Sugar-devel] Proxy Settings Feature in the recent versions of sugar

[James Cameron]

Yes, the feature page is out of date.  Please fix it.

Pages that link to the feature page are 0.96 and 0.98 feature lists.

http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/0.96/Feature_List (defer)
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/0.98/Feature_List (accepted, but x%)

The feature was code complete, with pre-github pull requests ready,
but the changes were not merged into the main Sugar repository.

It was also a feature page for a fork of Sugar, called Dextrose.

Dextrose did merge the pull request.  I'm unsure where the best source
is for Dextrose, but http://git.sugarlabs.org/dextrose has a set of
repositories, and the Sugar repository was last updated in December
2013.  You might review the many repositories associated with that
link, looking for strings used in the screenshots.

If there are any developers reading who were involved at the time,
they might speak up to guide Manash to useful sources.

Manash, if you have reimplemented the feature without using the old
code, then please also do these actions;

- replace the screenshots in the feature page,

- delete any out of date information, (it can always be restored from
  page history if needed),

- add a link to the feature page on the 0.110 pages, as a proposal.

I'm not a mentor, but I agree; the web publishing process tasks in the
past couple of years are a kind of thrashing, and they don't appear to
be solving any problems.

Consider the date that you last pressed "Resend e-mail" button.

Consider the date that the trace fix was made, which was the past few
days.

If the first date is before the second date, press the button again.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Proxy Settings Feature in the recent versions of sugar

[Sam Parkinson]

Hi Manash,

I don't know why the feature page says 100% complete.  Maybe it was 
included in sugar-dextrose which IDK where the code is for nowdays.


Anyway, it it looking good.  Overall, I saw it and thought that 
manually setting environment variables was very messy.  But consulting 
the archlinux wiki told me that that is the way to do it, and that this 
is not handled by network manager or anything :(.


Overall handwavy comment:  currently we have to rewrite the proxy.sh 
script every time we change the proxy.  Why don't we hardcode the 
proxy.sh script to read from some gsettings (eg. gsettings get 
org.sugarlabs.network.http-proxy) and then just change the gsettings in 
the control panel.  That would probably reduce the amount of code, and 
remove the whole polkit thing.


Anyway, it would be good it anybody who knows more about proxies could 
comment!


Thanks,
Sam

Hi,

The college Internet connection that I have goes through a proxy 
server. I am an interested developer as well as a sugar user along 
with my brother in school. Even though there is a feature page for 
proxy setting ( https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Proxy_Settings 
), it seems that the settings are not available in the recent 
versions of sugar. So, I created the settings feature and sent a PR ( 
https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/pull/665 ).


I want guidance on how should I proceed further. I mean, what about 
the feature page which says the feature is 100% complete for a 
particular version and yet is not available on the recent release? 
Also, shall I continue with the implementation I sent in the PR as 
that would be more comfortable for me, and hence would take less time 
for the feature to get incorporated in the latest verrsions of sugar, 
than to get the previous implementation from the features page?

Hi Sugar Labs, Akshit,

While I commend Akshit for following the GSoC idea, I think it's a
really bad idea to put the website under GSoC. I think this is not the
first time this idea has been put forward, with prototype and all, and
so far there's been no change.

The challenge is editorial / aesthethic / strategic - coding is the easy
bit. I don't think it's a good match for GSoC - Mentors please chip in.

I wrote a couple of ideas that I think are better matches. I might be
able to mentor if we get good proposals and the admin (Walter Bender)
assigns a slot for either.


Regards,
Sebastian

[Sugar-devel] GSoC'16 Guidance

[Akshit Kumar]

Hi all

I am Akshit Kumar. I am Electrical Engineering sophomore at Indian
Institute of Technology, Madras. I am really interested in taking part in
GSoC'16. I went through the ideas list and found the following ideas
interesting:
1. Journal Rethink
2. Redesign and Recreate of Sugar Web Appearance

I am pretty fluent in Python and Gtk and web technologies like
HTML,CSS,Javascript. I am also familiar with Git and Github as well. I am a
web developer at my institutes Web Operations Team as well.

I have already started working on those ideas.
1. Journal Rethink - I have setup the development environment and I am
familiarising myself with the code base. I have also been exploring the
Journal - trying out different things and playing around with the code.
2. Redesign and recreate of Sugar Web Appearance - Ported the present sugar
labs website to a flat minimalistic bootstrap theme - Flatly. You can find
the code for it here [1].

Could the mentors for the above projects help guide me as to what all are
they expecting in this project and if I could get a feedback as to what
should I try doing next? Any form of guidance would be greatly appreciated.
