idea/rfc: device screen in cockpit
by Martin Polednik 03 Dec '16

03 Dec '16

Hello, I have an idea for cockpit, but before thinking it further, I'm interested in hearing your opinions. I am oVirt developer mostly dealing with system stuff and this is something that could be useful in virtualization while also providing utility for administrators using cockpit. The idea is about new tab/plugin (not sure of the terminology) called 'devices', that would allow access to (hardware) devices as exposed by sysfs. The interface could be similar to 'Services' tab/plugin, showing a list of device names created from their physical location, similarly to libvirt's nodedev-list. After clicking on the name, new screen would be presented, showing additional information such as * physical address, * driver in use, * special capabilities (SR-IOV numvfs and totalvfs, NPIV max_vports, vports), * iommu group (possibly clickable to reveal all devices in given group), * vendor, vendor id, product, product id. Additionally, it makes sense to allow some basic operations: * unbinding from host driver, binding it to specific one (useful for local vfio-pci testing), * reattaching it back (one use case is that oVirt does not reattach devices automatically due to possible issues, needs user intervention), * setting numvfs, vports, * ... ? Do you find ideas above reasonable for cockpit? It is mostly in idea phase, and builds on development and requirements of oVirt. I personally believe that this could be useful for broader audience. Thanks, mpolednik

Cockpit 125
by Stef Walter 25 Nov '16

25 Nov '16

http://cockpit-project.org/blog/cockpit-125.html Cockpit is the modern Linux admin interface. We release regularly. Here are the release notes from version 123, 124 and 125. Cockpit is now properly translatable ------------------------------------ Cockpit is now properly translatable. It was a big task to extract all the translatable strings and make translations work consistently between the browser and installed tools like the bridge. We now start also run the login user session with a proper locale and LANG environment variables. You can help translate cockpit in Zanata, or if you find text in the front end that isn't translatable, then please do report it. https://fedora.zanata.org/iteration/view/cockpit/master Changes: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5362 https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5418 https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5418 https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5420 https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/1728 https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5442 https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5444 https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5443 https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5461 Display OSTree signatures ------------------------- Peter implement displaying OSTree tree signatures. You can tell where a certain update tree came from and who signed it. Screenshot: http://cockpit-project.org/blog/images/ostree-signatures.png Changes: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5433 New expandable views for storage partitions ------------------------------------------- Marius implemented expandable views in the *Storage* pages. These let you dive into the details of a particular partition without having to navigate away from the page describing where it lives. Screenshot: http://cockpit-project.org/blog/images/storage-listing.png Changes: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5097 Other storage fixes ------------------- Marius did work to fix many other storage related bugs. In particular Cockpit now deals properly with passphrases stored for LUKS encrypted devices, and also no longer offers to format read-only block devices. Changes: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5343 https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5097 Full testing on RHEL 7.3, Ubuntu 16.04 and Debian 8 Jessie ---------------------------------------------------------- The Cockpit project started testing on Cockpit on RHEL 7.3, Ubuntu 16.04 and Debian 8 Jessie along the operating systems we tested earlier. These will be part of our usual continuous integration, where we boot thousands or tens of thousands of instances per day to test changes and contributions. Marius fixed many bugs we found, and filed operating system bugs in the issue trackers for those operating systems. You can see the which operating systems we test Cockpit on: http://cockpit-project.org/running.html There's no Debian Jessie repository yet, but hopefully we can have that ready as time permits. Changes: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5445 https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5285 System shutdown can be scheduled by date ---------------------------------------- Fridolin did work a long time ago, so that users could select a specific date and time to schedule a shutdown or reboot of the system. Stef finished that work added tests and it's now in Cockpit. Screenshot: http://cockpit-project.org/blog/images/shutdown-date.png Changes: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/2419 Properly terminate user sessions on the Accounts page ----------------------------------------------------- The Accounts page now properly terminates user sessions when the Terminate Session button is clicked. We use the correct systemd loginctl commands. Changes: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/5359 Get it ------ You can get Cockpit here: http://cockpit-project.org/running.html Cockpit 125 is available in Fedora 25: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/cockpit-125-1.fc25 Or download the tarball here: https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/releases/tag/125 Take care, Stef

ABRT introduces reporter to systemd journal
by Matej Habrnal 21 Nov '16

21 Nov '16

Hello, I'd like to inform you there is a new feature in ABRT. Now, it's is possible to report problems into systemd journal. If some problem occurs, abrt sends a catalog message into systemd journal with some details about the problem (e.g. truncated backtrace, reason, ...) and also some information how to analyse the problem via abrt etc.. Content of catalog messages for each problem type can be configured, the following wiki page [2] shows the default formatting of catalog messages. For better understanding, I've created a video with examples [1]. Regards Matej ABRT team [1] https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/106984072939419636032/photos/photo/1069840729… [2] https://github.com/abrt/abrt/wiki/systemd-journal-catalog-messages

cockpit web ui stays empty in firefox
by Fuji San 17 Nov '16

17 Nov '16

After i log in to cockpit web ui using firefox, the page remaines empty (white). Sometimes I get a warning message "Unresponsive script" saying: "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, open the script in the debugger, or let the script continue. Script: https:// server:9090/cockpit/$3..../shell/bundle.js:29" I do not have this problem when I use Opera browser. Regrads, F.

Referencing to Cockpit from other admin UIs
by Andreas Nilsson 16 Nov '16

16 Nov '16

The Ideals of Cockpit [1] says that "Users of Cockpit should feel they are interacting with the underlying Server OS, not with Cockpit." so we took extra care to make sure Cockpit is not something that is directly visible to the end user. Peter Volpe is currently working on integration between ManageIQ and Cockpit. The idea is that you can get an overview of a cluster in ManageIQ, but then dive in, by clicking a button, to a particular node by and administer that with Cockpit. Initially the button was labeled "Cockpit", so we had to come up with a better label. Peter, me, Stef and Ben discussed this back and forth a bit with the ManageIQ designers, and settled on "Access Web Console" in the end. (I am fully aware that this wording is a very tempting bike-shed to paint, but it's also consistent with how other ways of interacting with the server is called across several products.) Apparently there is something similar in oVirt, so Fabian Deutch was kind enough to quickly fix that up and have it say "Web Console" as well. Since I think this is something that will come up more in the future, as we integrate Cockpit with more products, I thought it would be a good idea to set up a wiki page with general guidance on how to refer to Cockpit from another UI. https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/wiki/Product-Integration These are only the initial recommendations, and there is probably a ton of wrinkles to this, so I am pretty sure the document will evolve over time. 1.http://cockpit-project.org/ideals.html - Andreas
