Koji server installation
by Degremont, Guillaume 28 May '08

28 May '08

Hello, I am currently working on deploying a small build system based on mock/koji The system is very simple, just one server hosting the builds and koji (another buidl system may be added later, but that is not the issue at thje present time). I am having some troubles deploying koji. The only document I have found is the ServerHowTo (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Koji/ServerHowTo). I retrieved the koji, koji-hub, koji-web and koji-utils packages and installd them successfully on my server. I configured koji to use SSL following the guidelines. Not being a SSL expert, I think I did not do any error, but it was tricky since filenames change between the certificate creation section and the kojihub/kojweb/kojid configuration sections. and I configured all 4 servers (kojihub, kojiweb, kojira, kojid) to be hosted on the same server, named murray. However, when I try to use koji, I get the following error: [koji@murray ~]$ koji add-user userTest Kerberos authentication failed: 'No credentials cache found' (-1765328189) [koji@murray ~]$ I have modified the /etc/koji.conf (though it is not mentioned in the How To) as follows, to ensure it will use SSL: [root@murray ~]# more /etc/koji.conf [koji] ;configuration for koji cli tool ;url of XMLRPC server server = http://murray.mysite.hp.com/kojihub ;url of web interface weburl = http://murray.mysite.hp.com/koji ;url of package download site pkgurl = http://murray.mysite.hp.com/packages ;path to the koji top directory topdir = /mnt/koji ;configuration for SSL athentication ;client certificate cert = /etc/kojiweb/clients/certs/koji.cert ;certificate of the CA that issued the client certificate ca = /etc/kojiweb/clients/koji_ca_cert.crt ;certificate of the CA that issued the HTTP server certificate serverca = /etc/kojiweb/clients/koji_ca_cert.crt koji_ca_cert.crt being the ca certificate I generated and koji.cert a certificate I generated for the koji user. This is my first problem. Can anyone help me on this ? My other problem is with the servers. I configured my apache and started it to have the kojihub and kojiweb started. I then want to perform some add--user, add-host commands. But I get the message "unable to connect to server". [root@murray ~]# koji --noauth add-host murray.mysite.hp.com i386 x86_64 Error: Unable to connect to server With the following logs from httpd: [Thu Nov 15 10:28:51 2007] [error] [client X.X.X.X] PythonHandler kojixmlrpc: Traceback (most recent call last): [Thu Nov 15 10:28:51 2007] [error] [client X.X.X.X] PythonHandler kojixmlrpc: File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/mod_python/apache.py", line 299, in HandlerDispatch\n result = object(req) [Thu Nov 15 10:28:51 2007] [error] [client X.X.X.X] PythonHandler kojixmlrpc: File "/usr/share/koji-hub/kojixmlrpc.py", line 278, in handler\n context.cnx = koji.db.connect(opts.get("KojiDebug",False)) [Thu Nov 15 10:28:51 2007] [error] [client X.X.X.X] PythonHandler kojixmlrpc: File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/koji/db.py", line 128, in connect\n conn = pgdb.connect(**opts) [Thu Nov 15 10:28:51 2007] [error] [client X.X.X.X] PythonHandler kojixmlrpc: File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pgdb.py", line 383, in connect\n dbtty, dbuser, dbpasswd) [Thu Nov 15 10:28:51 2007] [error] [client X.X.X.X] PythonHandler kojixmlrpc: InternalError: could not connect to server: Connection refused\n\tIs the server running on host "murray.mysite.hp.com" and accepting\n\tTCP/IP connections on port 5432?\n Do you know what it comes from ? I can supply my other conf files, if needed. But I strictly followed the Howto nstructions for the configuration files. Reagrds, Guillaume Degremont PS: for security related reasons, I replaced the ipaddress with X.X.X.X and changed the hostname and fully qualified domain name with dummy ones ^^

mock: enable gpgcheck for f8 config file
by Till Maas 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

Hiyas, now that the groups repo is not used anymore in mock, imho the gpgcheck option can be enabled by default and only be disabled for the local repo. It will only need the required gpg-keys be included in the mock rpm and some more lines in the config files. I will write a patch for this if you will apply it. Regards, Till

query: mock + libselinux-mock.so LD_PRELOAD... why?
by Michael E Brown 03 Jan '08

03 Jan '08

I need a little bit of help understanding what the 'libselinux-mock.so' LD_PRELOAD was supposed to be doing. I released and pushed out mock-0.8 without this. I have rebuilt most of rawhide with this new mock version and have not seen anything that I directly can say was a failure due to this being missing, so I am sort of not seeing the point. I have searched around as much as I can to try to understand why this was put into place. From what I can understand, it was only put in in the FC2 timeframe to fix some problems with the selinux policy on the host machine. These *appear* to have been fixed in the host selinux policy, so again, i dont see a reason to keep this around. Jesse mentioned on IRC, though, that this might be needed, so I pose this question. I've a local branch set up with the 0.8.x code and the LD_PRELOAD put back in. So, I can quickly spin a new release with this back in if it is actually needed. So far, I havent convinced myself it is needed, though... Could somebody please enlighten me? -- Michael

F8 rawhide, error from method.py during kickstart install from cdrom
by Martin Steinmann 18 Dec '07

F8 RAWHIDE updated. I get the following error from anaconda doing a kickstart install from cdrom: File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pykickstart/commands/method.py", line 81, in parse (opts, extra) = op.parse_args(args=args) AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'parse_args' install exited abnormally [1/1] This happens right after anaconda started the X server.

Unable to create a distro on multiple disks with Pungi.
by William F. Acker WB2FLW +1 303 722 7209 01 Dec '07

01 Dec '07

Hi all, I can create a very nice DVD with Pungi if I don't specify the number of discs to use. I'm running F8 with pungi-1.1.9 that comes with F8. I figure that right number of discs for a respin of what comes with F8 should be five. When I ask for five discs "--discs=5", I get a DVD sized disc1 and the rest have empty Packages directories. I also get a DVD ISO file, but the size of DISC1 and DVD, different from each other, isn't the size of the DVD when requested alone. I can't tell if the problem is in Pungi or Splitdistro. When I do the SRPMS stage using five discs, I get five proper CD sized ISO files and a proper DVD ISO file. Any ideas? TIA. -- Bill in Denver

Pungi doesn't implant Checksums in the rescue ISO.
by William F. Acker WB2FLW +1 303 722 7209 27 Nov '07

27 Nov '07

Hi, all, I notice that in F7 and F8, there's no check sum in the primary volume descriptor in the rescue ISO. I *think* that there used to be a check sum in earlier releases. In any case, shouldn't we have a way of verifying the rescue disk in the event the SHA1SUM file isn't readily available? -- Bill in Denver

RE: Confirming predefined partition layout using kickstart

> That's a lot of python for a confirmation box. Have you looked at using dialog? Last time I checked, dialog was not available in the installation environment. Also, most of the code is for changing virtual console. This would be necessary even with the dialog binary. But if anyone has a smaller solution, please let me know.

Confirming predefined partition layout using kickstart
by Peter Åstrand 27 Nov '07

27 Nov '07

Using F8 and Kickstart, we want to predefine everything about partitions, but also let the user confirm that the disk is going to be wiped. I thought this could be done with just: partition / --fstype ext3 --size=1600 --asprimary partition swap --recommended But to my surprise, this does not work: The installer complains about "Could not allocate requested partitions". If we are using: zerombr clearpart --all --initlabel partition / --fstype ext3 --size=1600 --asprimary partition swap --recommended ...things works great, but then there's no confirmation. A workaround could be to have the confirmation dialog in some other step of the installation, it's OK if it's displayed from ISOLINUX or at the start of Anaconda or something like that. Any ideas?

A few Pungi questions
by Peter Åstrand 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

Hi, I have a few questions about Pungi: * When running the text based Anaconda from the resulting ISO, all packages are selectable, not just those that are included in the custom dist. Is this a known limitation? Any other problems with the text based Anaconda, to watch out for? * How can I create a CD that automatically uses a kickstart file? Revisor seems to support this, but we're using Pungi. I've found http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-buildsys-list/2007-June/msg00098.html, but perhaps there's a better way to do this? * Where can I find documentation on the "special" Kickstart options that Pungi understands, are there any others than "repo"? I also wonder if anyone has a minimal KS (but with X11) file to be used as a template.

Problems starting kojid: SSL issues
by Devrim GÜNDÜZ 26 Nov '07

26 Nov '07

Hi, Following the guidelines on wiki, I am trying to install koji. So far, I could run web interface, but I have problems with SSL things. Koji init script claims that it starts kojid, but I can't see it in the processes. Looking it a bit deeper, I can confirm that the SSL certificates that I entered in kojid.conf are not correct. The question is: Which certificates will I use for kojid? I have generated some certs as described in the wiki...
