[Bug 809218] [NEW] Cobbler should generate a usable /etc/rsyncd.conf file but doesn't
Public bug reported: `cat /etc/lsb-release` DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=11.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=natty DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION=Ubuntu 11.04 `apt-cache policy cobbler` cobbler: Installed: 2.1.0-0ubuntu7 Candidate: 2.1.0-0ubuntu7 Version table: *** 2.1.0-0ubuntu7 0 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/universe i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status Expected: In order to make use of the cobbler replicate feature to sync between two cobbler servers, Cobbler is supposed to generate a usable /etc/rsyncd.conf file based on /etc/cobbler/rsyncd.template. A fresh install of Cobbler does not generate this file at all on an Ubuntu system. I don't run RHEL or CentOS cobbler instances so I can't confirm whether or not this is Ubuntu specific though. What Happens: The documentation for cobbler says that the Rsync ops should be handled over SSH or scp, but this is not the case at all as it tries to connect to the non-existent Rsync server on the master when trying to sync, which fails. Workaround: Manually building the config for rsyncd.conf using the template as a guide works without issue it just appears that cobbler never tries to generate it during `cobbler sync` or a restart of cobbler. ** Affects: cobbler (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to cobbler in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/809218 Title: Cobbler should generate a usable /etc/rsyncd.conf file but doesn't To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cobbler/+bug/809218/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
[Bug 741661] Re: Web UI does not work from default install (2.1.0~bzr-2009-0ubuntu1)l
Possible regression with 2.1.0-0ubuntu4. I had to comment out the CustomLog lines in cobbler_web.conf before Apache would start. I will try and confirm, but at this stage my system has had a million different versions of cobbler installed over the past 2 days, so I can't be sure. Will try on a fresh system and let you know.

Hi Dustin, Just in the process of testing on a fresh Natty install. I'll snapshot my VM and try the same process with the ubuntu2 packages from natty and then again with the packages from your PPA and confirm. Judging from this: http://www.mail-archive.com/cobbler- de...@lists.fedorahosted.org/msg01200.html I believe it is an issue with the latest upstream source. It appears to have happened around the same time they moved to a form-based Authentication for the login to cobbler_web. More results to follow.

Just to confirm, this is a regression with the new upload in your PPA, as the ubuntu1 packages (the ones that didn't setup the webUI correctly) did not exhibit this issue.

OK, just to clarify a bunch of stuff: 1) The original cobbler-2.1.0-0ubuntu1 packages worked once you reconfigured the the cobbler_web.conf and re-created the symlinks 2) The cobbler_web.conf is /NOT/ fixed in cobbler-2.1.0-0ubuntu2. With this package I still had to change the authz_configfile setting in modules.conf and `chown www-data:www-data /var/lib/cobbler/webui_sessions` before I could login. 3) Using the package in your PPA (cobbler-2.1.0-0ubuntu3~ppa1) the install completes fine and the web-config is working out of the box. ** BUT ** The new bug concerning tainted file location errors now exists in both the PPA:cobbler-2.1.0-0ubuntu3~ppa1 and cobbler-2.1.0-0ubuntu2 (current in Natty). I'll raise a new bug for the Tainted File Location. If you merge your changes for the postinst/postrm and config files that should resolve this bug. There is a patch for the new bug, but that can be discussed separately.

[Bug 750402] Re: Editing Kickstarts/Snippets errors with tainted file location
Hi Dustin, The github repo appears to just be a working-copy of the upstream source tree for that particular devs work, so I can't say yes/no to it being committed upstream, or even if the copy on that particular repo is recent... It is maintained by jimi1283 which could be a handle for James Cammarata, one of the regular cobbler contributors. I can pursue this upstream if it's better suited there though? I can generate a diff based on the modifications I made to get it working though. Can you confirm that the latest Ubuntu package in Natty is built from recent upstream source? (this should save me having to pull it myself and test the newest source myself before submitting a patch). This is really the first bug-report I've ever filed for anything... so I am easy pleased to send it upstream rather than provide a ubuntu-only patch. Cheers for looking into this Dustin. It's most appreciated.

[Bug 750402] Re: Editing Kickstarts/Snippets errors with tainted file location
Confirmed that jimi1283 is indeed James Cammarata and that he is one of the primary contributors for cobbler, so the aforementioned patches are indeed James' work and he is aware of the issue. Hopefully his patch will work its way into the upstream. Under these circumstances, what are the options? Will cobbler get built with patch-36 (tainted file location patch) for cobbler-2.1.0-0ubuntu4, or will we just make continuous checks of upstream to wait for them to fix the issue? I will run with the deb-source packages for ubuntu4 that you uploaded this evening though. On a side-note, this contributing thing is rather cool. Might have to keep it up ;-) David. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to cobbler in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/750402 Title: Editing Kickstarts/Snippets errors with tainted file location -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
