Dear Admins, I tried to post to opensuse-buildservice and opensuse-packaging, but got denied both times. I am subscribed to both lists and I can't figure out any other reason why the mail get's denied. How can I post to these lists?

[heroes] Removed keyserver from monitoring
by Karol Babioch 30 Jun '19

30 Jun '19

Hi all, since the monitoring has been complaining about the keyserver being down for months and it is unlikely that it will ever come back in its current form, I've removed the service along with all services from our monitoring. I need to double-check if the VM is still lying around, but probably it can also be wiped and the resources made available again. Any objections? Best regards, Karol Babioch

[heroes] [RED] rsync.opensuse.org down
by Thorsten Bro | openSUSE Heroes 28 Jun '19

28 Jun '19

Hi all, unfortunately I have to inform you, that rsync.opensuse.org is down since this evening ~17.00 CEST. The machine is a server which was donated by SUSE Linux GmbH. The rack space, power and uplink was donated by QSC AG datacenter in Nuremberg (former IP-Exchange). What happened: I tried to do a kernel update of the machine and now it doesn't come back to life. As this machine is in an external DC, we need to drive there, as we don't have out-of-band-management possibilities in the sponsored rack of QSC AG. What's the impact of this: rsync.opensuse.org is down, which means that all unauthorized rsync-mirrors of openSUSE (which are not in the whitelist on stage.opensuse.org), are not able to sync from us at the moment. Furthermore rsync.opensuse.org is used as first push mirror usually by the OBS, which means that all clients which access download.opensuse.org via HTTP get redirected to rsync.opensuse.org by mirrorbrain, as long as the other servers in the world are syncing the newest updates and have it not yet ready. In summary: - non-whitelisted rsync-mirrors can't mirror at the moment - Users will feel a performance drop for installing and downloading updates because they are redirected to downloadcontent.opensuse.org, the mirror in our office datacenter in Nuremberg with limited Uplink capacities, until other mirrors and the scanning caught up with the changes. - This affects -indeed- every package updated in the OBS which is not published below this path: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/ - including Updates, Tumbleweed and Leap snapshots Mitigation: In the end, running this on an old SUSE-donated machine with a lot of spinning slow disks, is not matching the performance needs of the machine. So there need to be a final and well-engineered solution for this. Which was, until now, always out of scope of any budget. As a quick fix, somebody needs to drive to the data centre and investigate the machine. I'm willing to help, but I'm not driving those 60km again on my private expense, as I did last time. Sorry. On behalf of the openSUSE Heroes team.

[heroes] FYI: countdown.o.o served from new server
by Christian Boltz 24 Jun '19

24 Jun '19

Hello, since about an hour, countdown.opensuse.org gets served from a new server. In theory everything should just continue to work. There are even some small improvements: - I fixed a config bug that prevented serving images in languages your browser doesn't like, see https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/36213 for details. - The cronjob now does "git pull" hourly so that all changes on github get auto-deployed. - Oh, and the setup is fully salted now :-) If you notice any problems, please tell me or send a mail to admin(a)o.o to open a ticket. Note: I updated the haproxy config on anna, but I'm not sure if the sync to else works. (I'm afraid the answer is probably "no".) I'd love to maintain the haproxy.cfg in salt (and maybe even auto-deploy it on anna/elsa?), but as long as a "state.highstate test=True" shows me pending changes to /etc/keepalived/keepalived.conf which I don't understand, I hesitate to run a highstate ;-) (AFAIK these changes are from https://gitlab.infra.opensuse.org/infra/salt/merge_requests/232 ) In other words: can someone who knows keepalived please check if these changes look valid and then run a highstate on anna and elsa? When done, please close https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/46592 Regards, Christian Boltz -- [Cyberwehr] Für die Teilnehmer gibt es dann je erlegtem Trojaner ein Malwareabschuss-Abzeichen und ab 10 Stück das Cyberkreuz am Cat5-Kabel.

[heroes] NNTP questions
by George Baltz 20 Jun '19

20 Jun '19

Is there any interest in resurrecting the NNTP access to the forums? Anyone else asking for it? I was a news server admin in the distant past (1992-99), and have a little time to devote to scraping the rust off my admin skills. What sort of resources were used? Is there an image of the old server? Was it stock INN, or customized? Was the gateway built in house? Any doc/info on this particular setup available? I'm not sure of the demand/effort requirements for the service, but I'd like to look into it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: heroes+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: heroes+owner(a)opensuse.org

[heroes] download.opensuse.org timing out tonight
by David Kronlid 19 Jun '19

19 Jun '19

Hi heroes, The repos are timing out constantly for me tonight, making it difficult and unreliable to use zypper, doing upgrades or doing distro upgrades online. I just created a bug report: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1138761 Thought I should let you know in case someone has time to check if it's mirrorbrain or some mirrors that aren't working like they should. Good luck finding the cause!

[heroes] Temporary mititgation for SACK
by Karol Babioch 19 Jun '19

19 Jun '19

Hi all, Martin and me run the following command on "minnie" (the salt master): > minnie (saltmaster):~ # salt '*' cmd.run 'sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_sack=0' --out=text >/root/tcp_sack-fix.txt This is a mitigation for the latest vulnerabilities in the TCP stack of Linux. Machines will still need to be updated and rebooted to properly (and persistently) fix the issue. Best regards, Karol Babioch
