[heroes] Mailinglist outage yesterday

by Christian Boltz

Hello, (sorry for the massive cross-post - if you answer, please reply only on one mailinglist) TL;DR: If you sent a mail to one of the openSUSE mailinglists yesterday and it didn't arrive, please re-send it. Please also re-send any mail you sent to admin(a)o.o or board(a)o.o yesterday. Longer version: As you probably noticed by observing the silence in your inbox, the mailinglists were down yesterday. This downtime which had two reasons: a) postfix not starting on our outgoing mailserver after a kernel update and reboot - one of the server's IPs wasn't configured fast enough on boot and prevented starting postfix b) our mailinglist software needing additional AppArmor permissions after a kernel update. This is a known change for newer kernel versions, but shouldn't happen as part of a kernel update, therefore I opened https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1142120 The downtime started around 7:00 UTC (9:00 CEST). I noticed it in the evening, and around 21:50 UTC (23:50 CEST) everything worked again. a) wouldn't be too bad - the sending mailservers queues the mails, and they "just" get delayed. Unfortunately issue b) is more problematic - it seems the mailinglist software failed with $? = 0 so postfix thought the mails were successfully delivered, but in fact they are more or less lost. (Our mailinglist admin found them in the incoming/ directory, but he's on vacation with terrible internet access and probably can't do much about this in the next days. Sending out the then-old mails when he's back doesn't really make sense IMHO.) Therefore: If you sent a mail to one of our mailinglists yesterday and it didn't arrive, please re-send it. Please also re-send any mail you sent to admin(a)o.o or board(a)o.o yesterday. Regards, Christian Boltz -- Should you ever feel lonely or be overwhelmed with spare time: you know where to find us.

[heroes] Xorg.0.log attached as type text/x-log II

by Felix Miata

Is there a way for my account to be given permission to change these plain text attachments to text/plain? When I click the details link, instead of being able to edit, the browser suggests I open in Notepad, which AFAIK does not exist on Linux. e.g. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/attachment.cgi?id=1141041 -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science.

[heroes] Postfix not installed on newer VMs

by Christian Boltz

Hello, TL;DR: should all VMs - have postfix installed and running - have the alias root -> admin-auto(a)o.o - have a common /etc/postfix/main.cf (or at least some specific options like relayhost) ? Longer version: I noticed that 15 of our VMs don't have postfix installed. This seems to affect the "newer" servers (created with 42.3 and 15.x JeOS). The older VMs have postfix installed, even if they were upgraded in the meantime. My guess is that this is caused by a change in the patterns so that JeOS no longer includes postfix. Now the question is - should we have postfix running everywhere? I'd say yes because it's for example needed to let cron send out mails. On a related note - only 16 VMs forward root mails to admin-auto(a)o.o - IMHO that's also something all VMs should do. And finally, we'll need to set the relayhost (relay.i.o.o) in main.cf everywhere [1] [2] Of course there are some obvious exceptions from "all servers" - anna and elsa _are_ relay.i.o.o and therefore shouldn't get the relayhost setting. Does the above sound like a good idea? If so, I'll prepare a MR to do this with salt. (Just in case - if nobody answers within a week, I'll also do it ;-) BTW: If you are interested in the raw data behind this mail, you can find the main.cf of all servers in ~cboltz/postfix-configs/ on minnie.i.o.o. Regards, Christian Boltz [1] Maybe we should even deploy a common main.cf to all servers, but a quick comparison of the main.cf files we have shows that they all differ, so coming up with a common main.cf might be interesting[tm]. (besides anna and elsa, baloo will probably also have to keep its special main.cf) [2] On the positive side, all servers (except anna and elsa) that currently have postfix installed also have the relayhost set - probably because that was done in the JeOS config.sh script. -- "Oh my god, nobody has improved the shape of the wheel since 100 years.
