Hi Team,

Can we consider Nethserver 7 for production use? If beta will come is there an update from alpha2 to beta?

Can we consider Nethserver 7 for production use? If beta will come is there an update from alpha2 to beta?

No. While alpha2 has proved to be pretty stable and bug free, we will support updates only from beta releases.

[eliezer.axiem (Eliezer Ga)]

When will the beta testing will release? Is there an update from 6.7 to 7 beta? I am very excited about this

[alefattorini (Alessio Fattorini)]

We don’t have a specific ETA, for now, I hope will not be as long in coming.

[filippo_carletti]

While we still don’t know an ETA, we have outlined the remaining steps:

1. alpha3 with auth on samba4
2. beta1…n until samba4 is stable
3. rc and final

We’re close to completing step 1, but we can’t estimate how long will it take for step 2, since it’s mostly out of our control.
Hopefully, steps 2 and 3 could last a few days.

1. alpha3 with auth on samba4

Almost completed by:

NethServer Samba Domain Controller

I’ve just uploaded the first brick of the house to nethserver-testing. Some notes about how to install it on NethServer 7: http://wiki.nethserver.org/doku.php?id=samba_dc I’ve succeeded on connecting it with RSAT tools from a Win10 workstation. Where do we go from here? There’s a lot of work to do! Some sparse thoughts: Any service relying on system accounts must be reconfigured. Whenever possible, any service must use getent system calls to gather account informations and on PAM for user a…

webtop floods my log with the following:

It seems Webtop can’t connect do IMAP server.
Added also this to the TODO list!

Yes…squidGuard is running, but if enable filter, it stopped.

I can’t reproduce the problem, my filter correctly blocks configured categories.
Please be sure to download a blacklist then retry.

@flatspin

squidclamav and ntpd are not starting automatically. Manual start is o.k.

What a bug hunter! Two new issues just opened, we are working to fix both

• Squidclamav doesn't start at boot · Issue #5035 · NethServer/dev · GitHub
• NTP: switch implementation to chrony · Issue #5034 · NethServer/dev · GitHub

webtop floods my log with the following:

Fixed webtop package but the flood on the log is still there. Maybe @raffaele_fullone or @gabriele_bulfon can shed some light on this

@flatspin

Ther is a bug in Lightsquid-Template:

You should be able to download the fixed RPM from tonight

[Stll0 (Stefano Fancello)]

@flatspin

Ther is a bug in Lightsquid-Template:

You are right, default language was “en” instead of “eng”.
nethserver-lightsquid >= 1.0.3-1.25.g6fba22a has a correct default, but if you have installed an older version before you need to change language from Lightsquid setting interface (“Web proxy stats” → “Settings”) to select an existing language.

@Stll0 thanks for your answer. installed version ist 1.0.3.-1.22.g4a768c9. witch repo to enable to get the update?

EDIT: update today installed. thx.

Hi @giacomo,

If I enable filter, squid (Web proxy) has stopped. I already have downloaded a blacklist (Université Toulouse and Shalla).

See attached image:

Very strange, I would like to see a couple of command output:

• systemctl restart squid
• systemctl status squid, and if squid is stopped, also
• journactl -xe

Also, if you can give me the ssh access (in private) I will dig more deeply.

Yes, I can send ssh access to my machine. Send me a message, if necessary.

Thanks.

It’s a problem on suidGuard as you already pointed out, send me a pvt message with the access. I will try to fix it today

[giacomo (Giacomo Sanchietti)]

SquidGuard is affected from a bug causing a segfault.

Hi Team,

Any Feedback for Beta?

[davidep (Davide Principi)]

I’m on a bad lock

https://access.redhat.com/security/vulnerabilities/badlock

[flatspin (Ralf Jeckel)]

I’m still plying with NS7alpha 2 and everytime i install something new i get a message to clear yum-chache.

Is this normal behavior?

[davidep (Davide Principi)]

I’d say no, it isn’t! What happens if the cache is cleared?

[flatspin (Ralf Jeckel)]

This time i installed vpn. The installation was successfull. I klicked the button and hat normal softwarecenter again and vpn was correctly installed.
