[Bug 632853] New: smolt profile corrupted and incorrect
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=632853 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=632853#c0 Summary: smolt profile corrupted and incorrect Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE.org Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Infrastructure AssignedTo: mrueckert@novell.com ReportedBy: peter@renault4.plus.com QAContact: lrupp@novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Opera/9.80 (X11; Linux i686; U; en-GB) Presto/2.6.30 Version/10.60 I just upgraded from openSUSE 11.2 to 11.3 and visited my old Smolt profile page (http://www.smolts.org/client/show/?uuid=pub_a9dceb9c-54e5-443a-97b0-44ca3bb2...) to see if it was possible to update it instead of creating a new one. The system info presented on that page contains several completely incorrect details that I never submitted and which wouldn't make sense for somebody else to have changed. Indeed, it seems to not be my profile at all, it is for an entirely different system. For example, it indicates an HP laptop with Spanish localisation and a Core Duo processor, when in fact this profile was submitted from a Sony Vaio laptop in English with a Pentium M single core. Only the software entries (i.e operating system, kernel, etc.) are relevant. I don't understand how or why this has happened, but it would appear that either somebody has intercepted the account or there is a bug causing profiles to be overwritten. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Weird, I must say since it's a long shot (3 × 10^38 combinations). Nevertheless, to make sure there is no bug in the generated UUIDs (eg, I've been told that all Fedora 7 installations had the same UUID due to the way they were handling the builds of live CDs), please re-submit your profile and check if the same problem occurs again. I'll close this bug report as WORKSFORME but feel free to reopen it. Thank you for submitting your hardware and software profile to Smolt! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I administer another machine on which I saved a Smolt profile ID earlier this year, and I just looked that one up: http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_a9dceb9c-54e5-443a-97b0-44ca3bb28695 It too bears no relation to the system it was submitted from. It may be just coincidence or symbolic of profiles being regularly overwritten, but that profile was updated just yesterday. More peculiarly, it states openSUSE 11.3 as the system yet the kernel is the 2.6.31 version that shipped with 11.2. I think this points to either deliberate re-allocation of profile strings (but why would that be necessary?) or a bigger problem with the system, or perhaps even some hacking. The chances of this being two coincidences by your previous equation would now be, what, 3 × 10^38^38? (I'm no expert, you do the maths) :) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Can you please provide us your private UUID? It's in /etc/sysconfig/hw-uuid. Thanks for have taken the time to bring this up again. Really appreciated. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Only just realised that the two profile URLs I posted above are identical, because I've found the hw-uuid strings on those machines are also identical (though the uuid's are different). The hw-uuid is: c465bd34-e555-48db-8f2a-4025b6470332 and the password is the same. Both of these profiles were submitted on machines that were installed from the official openSUSE 11.2 KDE CD. Though I know nothing about how these things work, it looks like the same hw-uuid is issued on every installation, which is why the profile has been overwritten again and again by another user with their own hardware details every time I check that page. That would mean all Smolt profiles submitted at least from 11.2 KDE CD users (don't know about DVD / Gnome) have been overwritten, unless they got logged and stored somewhere else. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Others are: 118 /client/pub_uuid/c465bd34-e555-48db-8f2a-4025b6470332 613 /client/pub_uuid/1bb2c57f-ee59-42f0-bd3d-b7811c1e0fba 1171 /client/pub_uuid/e6e33e57-2f71-4931-bf78-8537a4257607 I'll investigate how we can workaround this. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I believe the Smolt service is no longer functional and was removed entirely in 12.3.
