Ask Fedora in staging
by Rahul Sundaram 23 Aug '11

23 Aug '11

Hi Although we haven't finished setting up Postfix in the devel instance, Infrastructure has been setup to move Ask Fedora to staging. Everyone in the sysadmin-ask group should have ssh access to set it up. In staging, you must not to any direct modifications in the server, everything needs to be done via Puppet Details at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SSH_Access_Infrastructure_SOP https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/SOP/Puppet Once it is setup, staging instance will run at http://ask01.stg.fedoraproject.org Rahul

[Event Report] TDD, BDD with Ruby, Rails, Cucumber, Diaspora at PICT, Pune, India
by Shakthi Kannan 21 Aug '11

21 Aug '11

Hi, I had conducted a session on test driven, behaviour driven development on Saturday, August 20, 2011 at Pune Institute of Computer Technology [1], Pune, Maharashtra, India using Ruby, Cucumber, and Rails with examples from Diaspora [2]. Thanks to Praveen Arimbrathodiyil [3] for initiating this workshop and Shreyank Gupta [4] for helping the students during the hands-on session. Participants were new to Ruby, and we started off with Ruby in Twenty Minutes [5]. Using interactive ruby (irb) students were able to understand the language syntax and its usage. We then moved on to writing tests in Ruby, and writing them first before writing code. User stories were introduced with explanation on understanding how features, and step definitions are written. Cucumber [6] was used to run through the features with simple examples. We then moved on to using cucumber with Rails illustrating an example of a Rails blog application [7]. I had setup Diaspora on my laptop, and had then given them a visual demo of how cucumber runs feature tests with selenium webdriver. Photos take from Shreyank's camera are available at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/shreyankg/sets/72157627481625374/ Regards, SK [1] Pune Institute of Computer Technology. http://www.pict.edu/ [2] Diaspora. https://joindiaspora.com/ [3] Praveen A. http://www.j4v4m4n.in/ [4] Shreyank Gupta. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Shreyankg [5] Ruby in Twenty Minutes. http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/documentation/quickstart/ [6] Cucumber. http://cukes.info/ [7] Episode 155.

Hi I am going to postpone the meeting since Jared is on a break[1]. We haven't run the face to face meeting last Tuesday either and I don't have many updates. There are a few pending sponsorship requests that we can process next week. If anyone needs anything done urgently, let me know. Meanwhile the FUDCon website[2] has been updated thanks to Tatica and Shrink. There are a few obvious typos like the dates and so on but this is a great start and if you have any feedback, drop a note [1] http://www.jaredsmith.net/2011/08/18/alpha-is-a-go-and-so-is-a-short-break-… [2] http://fudcon.fedoraproject.org/ Rahul

Moving Ask Fedora from devel to staging
by Rahul Sundaram 11 Aug '11

11 Aug '11

Hi We have been running a devel instance at http://ask01.dev.fedoraproject.org:8888/ for a while now and upstream has fixed a number of issues that we reported and I had a discussion with the Fedora Infrastructure team on moving it from devel to staging. I hope to get this done within say a couple of weeks max. For that we have to do a few things more. If anyone wants to help out, let me know * Configure Apache with mod_wsgi and make Askbot use that. Documentation at http://askbot.org/doc/deployment.html * Configure Askbot to work with Postfix and setup cron jobs and ensure that mail notifications are working as expected * Document the steps required and any customizations we have done as pert http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure_SOP_SOP to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Askbot Ask Fedora would depend on * RHEL 6 + EPEL 6 * Apache httpd * Memcached * Postfix * Postgres We are not going to use Nginx or ha-proxy/varnish for now. Once we move it into staging, infrastructure team will help us figure out whether we have to run our memcached, postfix and postgres or reuse the existing infrastructure for these. Fedora infrastructure team has staging instances with RHEL 6 but not production instances for us yet. One item is probably something that is needed for production but nice to have for staging * Better CSS. I have talked to Suchakra and he has done some changes already and I have also added Hiemashu to sysadmin-ask and he has agreed to help with this. In particular the fonts needs to be fixed to use the Fedora defaults and styling needs to be be more appealing. Any questions? Let me know. Rahul

Fwd: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/skype from mmap_zero access on the memprotect Unknown.
by anjaz ahmed 09 Aug '11

09 Aug '11

Dear friends, Recently upgraded to Fedora 15, the skype application gets crashed frequently.....The error details are as mentioned below. Would be great if someone get it fixed. Thanks ===================================================================== SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/skype from mmap_zero access on the memprotect Unknown. ***** Plugin mmap_zero (53.1 confidence) suggests ************************** If you do not think /usr/bin/skype should need to mmap low memory in the kernel. Then you may be under attack by a hacker, this is a very dangerous access. Do contact your security administrator and report this issue. ***** Plugin catchall_boolean (42.6 confidence) suggests ******************* If you want to control the ability to mmap a low area of the address space, as configured by /proc/sys/kernel/mmap_min_addr. Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'mmap_low_allowed' boolean. Do setsebool -P mmap_low_allowed 1 ***** Plugin catchall (5.76 confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that skype should be allowed mmap_zero access on the Unknown memprotect by default. Then you should report this as a bug. You can generate a local policy module to allow this access. Do allow this access for now by executing: # grep threaded-ml /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_execmem_t:s0- s0:c0.c1023 Target Context unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_execmem_t:s0- s0:c0.c1023 Target Objects Unknown [ memprotect ] Source threaded-ml Source Path /usr/bin/skype Port <Unknown> Host anjaz.intelvision.sc Source RPM Packages skype-2.2.0.35-fc10 Target RPM Packages Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.9.16-35.fc15 Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing Host Name anjaz.intelvision.sc Platform Linux anjaz.intelvision.sc 2.6.38.8-35.fc15.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jul 6 13:58:54 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64 Alert Count 125 First Seen Tue 09 Aug 2011 03:49:24 PM SCT Last Seen Tue 09 Aug 2011 03:49:27 PM SCT Local ID 943f7e9f-e074-437d-9ad1-cf76ac9f7615 Raw Audit Messages type=AVC msg=audit(1312890567.697:245): avc: denied { mmap_zero } for pid=4405 comm="skype" scontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_execmem_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_execmem_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 tclass=memprotect type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1312890567.697:245): arch=i386 syscall=lgetxattr per=400000 success=no exit=EACCES a0=0 a1=1000 a2=3 a3=22 items=0 ppid=1769 pid=4405 auid=500 uid=500 gid=500 euid=500 suid=500 fsuid=500 egid=500 sgid=500 fsgid=500 tty=(none) ses=1 comm=skype exe=/usr/bin/skype subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_execmem_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023 key=(null) Hash: threaded-ml,unconfined_execmem_t,unconfined_execmem_t,memprotect,mmap_zero audit2allow #============= unconfined_execmem_t ============== #!!!!
