[opensuse-web] Relatively short session timeout.
by Rajko M. 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

Few days ago I had on IRC angry wiki editor that was automatically logged out of the wiki due to inactivity and lost content he worked on. He claimed it was not more them 30 minutes of editing. I didn't timed session inactivity timeout, but it is somewhat short and can surprise people using edit box in a browser, as previous setup allowed much more time. He suppose to file bug report, but today I couldn't find any for openSUSE - opensuse.org - Wiki. Matt can you look at this. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-web+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-web+owner(a)opensuse.org

That's not exactly true. Nothing in that infrastructure is IPv6 ready, especially iChain itself. The IPv6 is handled only by an L4 switch that NATs it to the IPv4 address. However, I understand your point. The IPv6 address is no longer being NAT'd correctly, and we need to set up an IPv6 address for the IDP on Access Manager. I will work with the networking team this week on getting that set up. >I've no fucking idea how to debug that, and my contributions are stacking on my desk without any hope to >solve it >(it's now like 20 days) 14 days, and I have been spending much of that time working on other incidents related to the wiki upgrade itself. Don't get me wrong. I appreciate the reminder, and it is next on my list to fix. >If someone in admin staff wants to retrieve informations my ip are >193.72.16.31 >2001:1620:f7c:0:baac:6fff:fecc:1345 >(I don't use tempaddr in ipv6 so it's always the same) > >There's no internet coffee shop around with an only ipv4 connection.

You should be able to disable IPv6 via a boot parameter during startup. I had to do this at home because my router kept dropping the tunnel I had set up. I know, it's annoying, but it should work. My suspicion is that the L4 appliance was not set up correctly on the IPv6 configuration to load balance across the new servers. I will talk to the network team about this. Also, I will work on getting IPv6 set up for the IPD, so that should fix the login issues.

[opensuse-web] No login from ipv6 network are possible
by Bruno Friedmann 11 Dec '11

11 Dec '11

Hi, just a reminder (should I put this in bugzilla) I'm absolutely not able to connect to the following site all wiki lizards news forums Working : connect build bugzilla My network is dual stack ipv4 & ivp6 When I'm trying to logging I get spurious redirection and rekonq or firefox stop to load. login.novell.com & esp.novell.com are both without any ipv6 addr : this is a regression compared to ichain when the whole infrastructure was ipv6 ready. I've no fucking idea how to debug that, and my contributions are stacking on my desk without any hope to solve it (it's now like 20 days) If someone in admin staff wants to retrieve informations my ip are 193.72.16.31 2001:1620:f7c:0:baac:6fff:fecc:1345 (I don't use tempaddr in ipv6 so it's always the same) There's no internet coffee shop around with an only ipv4 connection. So it's painfull. During some external work, this week on ipv4 network I can log to all. Please fix, and help me to help you to fix. -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member & Ambassador GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-web+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-web+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-web] openSUSE Certificate Renewal
by Matthew Ehle 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

Hello, I am putting together a budget for certificates next year, and I would like to know about ALL of the openSUSE sites that require SSL. Basically, I am trying to determine if we should get a wildcard or a SAN certificate, and the number of domains that need SSL is a big factor in that. Since the login for the wikis, blogs, and forums happens through a central location now, they no longer need certificates. I think build and api might still need them. I'm not sure about the others. Thank you, Matt

[opensuse-web] Wiki Upgrade Problems
by Matthew Ehle 09 Dec '11

09 Dec '11

Hi Everyone, So it turns out we are in a pretty difficult situation with the latest upgrade. The problem with the UTF8 page titles being corrupted is much more widespread than I thought. I have spent a long time looking for a way to fix the issue in the page titles that the upgrade had caused, and although it appears to be a well known issue, no one has a real fix for it yet. We have a few options to take: 1) Roll back all the wikis to 1.16 and restore the database to Sunday night 2) Roll back only the most affected wikis (cn, cs, ru, etc.) and restore the database 3) Leave all the wikis as they are, and keep trying to fix the page titles I'm inclined to do step number two, but I want to hear about any other options or opinions from the individual admins before we try to roll things back. If we can somehow get a list together of the garbled characters and the real characters that are associated, I can even script a fix of some type (making option number 3 more viable). If someone wants to take that on for their particular wiki, they can see the affected pages by going to /Special:AllPages and trying to compare.

[opensuse-web] diff view partly broken
by Christian Boltz 07 Dec '11

07 Dec '11

Hello, Matthew, I'm afraid I have to shock you once more ;-) The diff view in the wiki is partly broken - I can see the diff, but I don't see the page content - instead, I see "Unable to get content". For an example, check any revision diff page, like http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=Firefox&action=historysubmit&diff=44… The good news is that I probably know about the reason. It looks like Mediawiki tries to load the content using api.php: http://en.opensuse.org/api.php?action=parse&prop=text|categorieshtml|langua… and instead of the result, I get a "No such action" page in the default wiki layout. I guess you'll need to add another exception in your rewrite rules for api.php ;-) Interestingly, my private wiki doesn't use api.php to fetch the page content in diff view, but until now I have no idea what causes this differenct behaviour.

[opensuse-web] Changes to the en wiki.
by Rajko M. 06 Dec '11

06 Dec '11

We should not change all things at once. In case that all changes don't come out as wanted, troubleshooting is a nightmare. About the same time it was updated: 1) Wiki software 2) http://en.opensuse.org/MediaWiki:Common.css 3) a lot of templates. Now, it is impossible to revert MediaWiki:Common.css as that will create real breakage. The same is the reason that we can't see what is broken due to softare upgrade. I reverted and protected: http://en.opensuse.org/Template:Box-header because with classes "Edit" link that should be at the end of a title line, with normal font face, was slapped right after title text and bold. http://en.opensuse.org/Template:Box-footer to make sure that something else is not broken. http://en.opensuse.org/Template:Intro was plain broken after the change. I don't see other way to troubleshoot, but to: 1) revert all template changes, 2) revert MediaWiki:Common.css 3) debug software update problems 4) apply changes to MediaWiki:Common.css, this time few at the time 5) apply classes to templates again -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-web+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-web+owner(a)opensuse.org
