Hi
So far I was very happy with Nethserver, moving from 7+ years of using SME Server.
I updated 5 Servers yesterday about an hour BEFORE the warning went out.
OK, I could revert two running as KVM VMs on Proxmox.
My own Server and 2 others didn’t have the revert option, either due to Hardware, not VM or too much data loss.
I do know the yum history and undo option from SME, but that didn’t work in the simplest case of mine…
I’m a bit worried about the two servers I rebooted. They now have the read-only filesystem. ;-(
-> I’ve fixed this according to the Error after update recreating AD instructions, this works so far. Samba is still not working.
In my opinion, the not-rebooted servers have the greatest chance of recovery.
I do have backups, but what happens after fresh install, restore? Nethserver installs the missing packages but does it update?
Let’s hope the Red-Hatters have a solution soon…
Nethserver is a good server, i’d like to use it further…
Thank you for confirming @dnutan, to be safe I reverted my Nethserver to the backup I took before upgrading (So glad I use nethserver as a virtual!). I really need to get my dev system setup again so I can test before prod upgrades.
My case:
I don’t have Samba (samba ad or shared folders) installed on my test server but from Software Center and yum samba is required to update.
My test server was installed about week ago and now I have maybe 250+ packages to upgrade.
If you say that there is a problem with samba maybe this could help
I did a bit of research and this is what I’ve found:
the bug is not present if AD and Samba re installed on a clean NethServer 7.4
the Fedora patch works
I’ve create a new sssd-libwbclient patched RPM.
Please, be sure to update everything from CentOS updates repository, than install the patch it using this commands:
The patch works in our production environment; tested with following clients:
Windows 10 with AD join
Windows 10 without AD join
Nautilus on Fedora without join
smbclient on Fedora without join
This is the associated issue:
If everything goes well, we can release it in nethforge repository, also we will do not need anymore the vault repository.
This will bring issue-free updates for all NethServers.
The fix should work for new installation but also for currently broken ones.
So, install the patch on a new or old machine where shared folders authentication doesn’t work
