hi, Have you been able to look at my request? I'm guessing that the tsp will be very much up and running again for the oSC :) Best, Syds -- Syds Bearda Treasurer openSUSE Project opensuse(a)syds.eu On Mon, 17 Jan 2022, at 12:57, Syds Bearda wrote: > Hi, > > I hope this email address works :) > > Could you please look into my rights at tsp.o.o?

MX2 is now saltified!
by Per Jessen 14 Feb '22

14 Feb '22

Yesterday I ran state.apply, so far no apparent issues. Please let me know if you notice any. For various reasons, it's been a slightly long untertaking, but we made it :-) None of my doing really, I only supplied the mailserver knowledge, all of the credit goes to Olav. MX1 is next! -- Per Jessen, Zürich (7.1°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes

IDP problem post-mortem
by Bernhard M. Wiedemann 10 Feb '22

10 Feb '22

https://www.reddit.com/r/openSUSE/comments/sp5m9u/idp_problem_postmortem/ > Yesterday I fixed a small outage that likely started 2022-02-03 08:16 and continued til 2022-02-09 16:30 UTC. > > The effect was that user password changes via https://idp-portal.suse.com threw an error. Maybe other IDP functions to create and update accounts were also affected. > > Background: Since SUSE split out from MicroFocus in 2020 and could not continue using their Novell Accessmanager service for handling openSUSE user accounts. Since then we operate our own identity Provider (IDP) using Univention Corporate Server (UCS). That is a Debian-based solution with professional support. > > So what was the problem? > > The IDP setup uses a main server that gets all the writes via Kerberos and several replicas that handle the authentication, mostly via LDAP. Yesterday we learned that password-updates were broken. > > With the help of Univention support I could find that kpasswd did not work in a shell and with tcpdump -epni eth0 host 10.x.x.x I could see it try to communicate over UDP port 88 and see a reply of "Port unreachable". So I checked the main server and indeed, ss -uanp showed that port 88 was only bound to half of the IPs, but not the one it tried to reach. > > With a simple /etc/init.d/heimdal-kdc restart on the main server, the kerberos process started to listen on all IPs and thus password changes were fixed. While the immediate outage was over, I still spent the next morning to find out why it failed like this. With systemd-analyze plot > plot.svg I could see that kdc was started long before the network-online.target was reached. Since this is still using old SysV-init scripts, I added a $network to its Required-Start line and on next boot, the .svg looked better. This gave us back an IDP that is working even after a boot. > > The only remaining mystery is why this issue has not shown up earlier. At least https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=heimdal-kdc does not have reports in that direction and the debian.tar.xz in https://packages.debian.org/de/bullseye/heimdal-kdc contains the same problematic Required-Start line. So that mystery will probably remain...

[heroes] https://forums.opensuse.org/ opens instead of URL selected
by Felix Miata 05 Feb '22

05 Feb '22

It often happens, usually once a day, that opening a bookmark to any particular forum (e.g. hardware, or applications) opens https://forums.opensuse.org/ instead. Is there something that can be done to prevent that nuisance from polluting browser and tab history? Also, why is it that every day, at least one logout is forced? What purpose is served by it? I don't know of any other forums that do that, unless the browser is closed and reopened. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.

Meeting minutes
by Christian Boltz 01 Feb '22

01 Feb '22

Hello, here are the minutes of today's meeting: status reports: - Lars works on enabling DMARC for the opensuse.org domain, starting with relaxed settings and looking for the outcome. If everything works as expected, we can look further... - Per worked on various issues, see https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/heroes@lists.opensuse.org/ message/LK44FTIVAY3F2FOP7VZFZPXFZZNBVHIY/ Discussed mailman slowness (especially moderation queue, poo#104899), but didn't come to a result. It's probably worth asking upstream at https://gitlab.com/mailman Ticket status "Resolved" and "Closed" can only be set by members of the "Managers" group on progress.o.o - no idea why, there's no place in progress that restricts ticket states to a specific group (at least we didn't find one) Regards, Christian Boltz -- Hätte Frau Merkel Twitter gefragt, wär's ein süßes Kätzchen geworden.
