Re: [webmin-devel] virtual-server-theme & get_all_module_infos()

[Joe C. <jo...@vi...>]

It's not a module.  It's a theme.  ;-)

There is a get_theme_info function which returns the theme.info data, so 
you could do this, I guess:

get_theme_info("virtual-server-theme");

I'm pretty sure there's a way to list available themes, as well, though 
I don't see it off-hand.

[webmin-devel] virtual-server-theme & get_all_module_infos()

[Emmanuel S. <esa...@us...>]

Hi,

I was asking me why the "virtual-server-theme" module were not returned 
by the "get_all_module_infos()" function.

Is there any other webmin friendly way to obtain information about this 
module?

Bye

[webmin-devel] Last chance to vote for Webmin

[Joe C. <jo...@vi...>]

Howdy all,

Voting for the SourceForge Community Choice Awards is wrapping up on the 
20th, so this is the last chance to vote for Webmin.  As you may know, 
Webmin is a finalist, meaning it's already beat out thousands of 
projects to be in the final 10 in the"Best Tool or Utility for 
SysAdmins".  If you haven't voted already, please do so!

Here's the link:

http://sourceforge.net/community/cca09/vote/?f=479

You don't need a SourceForge.net account, just a valid email address 
(and they won't spam you; SourceForge is totally legit).

Lots of great projects this year. It's worth browsing around a bit to 
learn about some cool new Open Source projects. (But don't get 
distracted from voting!)

There will be a Webmin/Virtualmin/Usermin/Cloudmin booth at OSCON in San 
Jose this year, and Jamie will be there, so it'd be awesome for Webmin 
to win the award this year (the awards are announced and given out on 
the last day of OSCON).  He could bring it home personally.

Speaking of OSCON, if anyone will be in the area, we'd love to meet you. 
  We'll have a few hundred T-shirts to give away(which we expect will 
all be gone by the end of the event), as well as a quick reference card 
for one of our favorite new Open Source projects which we've recently 
begun using for Webmin and Virtualmin development.  The Expo Hall passes 
are free, you just have to register.  If you're feeling really 
enthusiastic about Webmin, we'd be happy to have some help in the booth 
(no big commitment, just let us know when you can be around and we'll 
put a T-shirt on you and put you to work).

Thanks for voting!

Re: [webmin-devel] creating a database and random user/pass onmodule install

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

   There's no flag in webmin_links to control who it is visible to - however,
   it will be called for each user when the menu is being created, so you can
   use $remote_user to decide what webmin_links returned. Or better still, call
   virtual_server::master_admin() to check if the current user is root or
   equivalent.
   By the way, plugin docs are at :

Hi Tim,
How much data will your module be storing in this DB? If it isn't
large, you may want to look into using text files instead of a database.
This is what Webmin / Virtualmin does, specifically to avoid the
problem of setting up dependencies like MySQL.
However, if you really want to use a database, prompting the user the
first time the module is accessed seems reasonable. You could call the
mysql Webmin module to create the user and database.

[webmin-devel] creating a database and random user/pass on module install

[Tim A. <ti...@be...>]

Hi All,

I'm currently working on a virtualmin/webmin module that works off a
MySQL backend, and am trying to work out how to automate the following
during the module install

1) Create a database - name can be static in this case, though either
static or random will be fine

2) Import a MySQL dump to the database

3) Set up a user with random username and password, and return these
details to the script

The database is universal, not domain specific for virtualmin, so I
don't believe its something to be handled by the feature_setup sub in
virtual_feature.pl.


Is this something that is possible to achieve, or should I include an
install.cgi page that is called if no database details found, for the
setup to be run initially?

Cheers

Tim Allingham

Re: [webmin-devel] Solaris Zones module

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

   Awesome, thanks again .. I will include this in Webmin 1.490.

   On 02/Jul/2009 17:20 Todd Kennedy wrote ..

     Here's the new patch...I fixed the index.cgi return that I missed in the
     save_zone.cgi and also I found that if you uninstall the zone but don't
     delete it and reinstall..."which I do allot of" you have to perform the
     manual sysidcfg. Instead of moving the created sysidcfg to the newzone
     prior to booting I replaced that with a copy command instead. This way if
     you do uninstall and reinstall without recreating the zone it's not an
     issue. Then when you delete the zone the sysidcfg in the /etc/webmin/zones
     directory will get removed. So it seems to work out.
     I have some more ideas that I want to do but might take some time, like
     install from a flar image and possibly watch the console messages as the
     zone boots.

     Hey Jamie,
     I sent that patch to you a bit prematurely. There was an additional
     add_footer missing an index.cgi and also it looks like the saving of the
     sysidcfg file isn't getting pushed into the zone's /etc/sysidcfg file. I
     am investigating it now. Hopefully I can track that down quickly.
     As far as the patch I sent you, do you want me to send an additional patch
     with just the new changes or do you want a full patch including all the
     changes?

     Actually, I thought I had avoided this in Webmin by having it setup a
     sysidcfg
     file before booting the zone, so that Solaris wouldn't ask all those
     questions.
     But perhaps there is some entry from that file I am missing ..

[webmin-devel] Webmin in the final round of voting in the SourceForge Community Choice Awards

[Joe C. <jo...@vi...>]

Howdy all,

Webmin has been nominated by the Open Source community (that's you! 
thanks!) for a SourceForge Community Choice Award.  Being a finalist 
means Webmin was among the ten most popular projects in its category 
(Best Tool or Utility for SysAdmins), and is in the final round of voting.

So, that means we've all gotta go vote!  Webmin consistently comes in 
2nd or 3rd in the CCA, but I think we can win it this year.  Webmin is 
more popular than ever (more than 2 million downloads each year!), and 
Jamie and many others (translators, third party module developers, patch 
submitters, supporters in the mailing list and forums, etc.) have been 
putting more effort into the project than ever before and it shows in 
both the quality of the software and the quality of the community.

http://sourceforge.net/community/cca09/vote/?f=479

Note: This is the second round of voting.  Even if you voted in the 
nominating round last month, you must vote again in order to be counted 
in the final voting!

You don't need to have a SourceForge.net account to vote, but they will 
verify your email address before counting your vote (they won't spam 
you, so don't worry about giving them a real email address).

Thanks to everyone who voted during the nomination round, and I hope 
you'll take just another couple of minutes to vote in the final round. 
There's a lot of other cool projects in the running, too, so it's a fun 
and interesting way to catch up on the latest in popular Open Source 
projects.

Regards,
Joe

Re: [webmin-devel] Solaris Zones module

[Todd K. <tod...@gm...>]

Yeah I saw the sysidcfg entries in the module...When I boot the zone for the
first time the only question it asked was which version of NFS did I want to
use...NFS4, etc .... So maybe just the sysidcfg needs to be updated. I'll
look at it and see what I can come up with.

Re: [webmin-devel] Solaris Zones module

[Todd K. <tod...@gm...>]

Here's the new patch...I fixed the index.cgi return that I missed in the
save_zone.cgi and also I found that if you uninstall the zone but don't
delete it and reinstall..."which I do allot of" you have to perform the
manual sysidcfg. Instead of moving the created sysidcfg to the newzone prior
to booting I replaced that with a copy command instead. This way if you do
uninstall and reinstall without recreating the zone it's not an issue. Then
when you delete the zone the sysidcfg in the /etc/webmin/zones directory
will get removed. So it seems to work out.

I have some more ideas that I want to do but might take some time, like
install from a flar image and possibly watch the console messages as the
zone boots.

Re: [webmin-devel] Solaris Zones module

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

   Send me another patch that I can put "on top" of the previous one, as I have
   already applied it..
   Thanks!

     Hey Jamie,
     I sent that patch to you a bit prematurely. There was an additional
     add_footer missing an index.cgi and also it looks like the saving of the
     sysidcfg file isn't getting pushed into the zone's /etc/sysidcfg file. I
     am investigating it now. Hopefully I can track that down quickly.
     As far as the patch I sent you, do you want me to send an additional patch
     with just the new changes or do you want a full patch including all the
     changes?

     That's a bug .. thanks for fixing it.

     Actually, I thought I had avoided this in Webmin by having it setup a
     sysidcfg
     file before booting the zone, so that Solaris wouldn't ask all those
     questions.
     But perhaps there is some entry from that file I am missing ..

Re: [webmin-devel] Solaris Zones module

[Todd K. <tod...@gm...>]

Hey Jamie,

I sent that patch to you a bit prematurely. There was an additional
add_footer missing an index.cgi and also it looks like the saving of the
sysidcfg file isn't getting pushed into the zone's /etc/sysidcfg file. I am
investigating it now. Hopefully I can track that down quickly.

As far as the patch I sent you, do you want me to send an additional patch
with just the new changes or do you want a full patch including all the
changes?

That's a bug .. thanks for fixing it.

Awesome, thanks!

Actually, I thought I had avoided this in Webmin by having it setup a sysidcfg
file before booting the zone, so that Solaris wouldn't ask all those questions.
But perhaps there is some entry from that file I am missing ..

Re: [webmin-devel] Solaris Zones module

[Todd K. <tod...@gm...>]

Hey Jamie,

I finished making some changes to the Solaris Zones module. The biggest
change is so that it could support branding. I also fixed a few additional
issues:

1. Return link in the edit create and save pages were missing someplace to
return to, so I added index.cgi as a return point.

2. The get_confirm_page subroutine in forms-lib.pl is using
Webmin::ConfirmPage with only one button. This produced the regular sized
button with the correct action label and also another button which should be
cancel but there wasn't any text defined. So the cancel button was really
small. Kind of looked like a radio button. So I fixed that...

3. When using the ctrun command to boot a zone was causing webmin to
continue polling for a return. This was not a webmin problem, more of how
ctrun was invoked. The command { ctrun zoneadm -z some_zone boot } when run
from a console never exits for some reason. So I added an option to end when
the child command ends thus fixing the problem inside of webmin. This used
to drive me nutz. I'd boot a zone through webmin and it would never return
"done". Sometimes if I let it run for a long time in my browser, the browser
would hang and I'd have to force kill the browser.

So anyway the patch is attached.

There's one caveat to using zones in webmin. The first time you boot the
zone it runs sysconfig so you have to use zlogin in console mode to make the
selections before all the services will start properly. If you don't do this
you can still start the zone but it's in single user mode "hard to tell" and
inetd is waiting on sysconfig to finish. So I'm not sure if there is a way
to allow webmin to interact with zlogin. I think this would be like running
a telnet session from within webmin. not sure how to do that...

Re: [webmin-devel] Solaris Zones module

I see the bug - the ui_select functions 3rd arg needs to be an array  
ref, you you need to surround the list_brands call with [ ]

Re: [webmin-devel] Solaris Zones module

[Todd K. <tod...@gm...>]

Jamie,

maybe you can help me with something. I'm trying to add the branding
functionality of zones to the Solaris Zone module. For some reason my select
box in the create_form.cgi keeps coming up as empty. Here's the code that I
added below. I know readdir only returns single file / directory
entries...so I'm not sure it I'm populating the @rv array correctly. The @rv
array should look like this I'm assuming:

Since the directory entries under /usr/lib/brand are natvie, solaris8,
solaris9 and the parent and current. I'm filtering out the parent and
current which should leave me with the three remaining directories. So maybe
you can point something out to me that I'm missing....

@rv = (native,solaris8,solaris9)

------------------create_form.cgi-------------------
print &ui_table_row($text{'create_brand'},
            &ui_select("brand",undef, &list_brands(), 0, 0, $value ? 1 :
0));
-----------------------------------------------------------

------------------forms-lib.pl-------------------------
local $brand = new Webmin::Select("brand",undef, &list_brands(), 0, 0,
$value ? 1 : 0);
$section->add_input($text{'create_brand'}, $brand);
-----------------------------------------------------------

------------------zones-lib.pl------------------------
#list brands()
#returns a list of valid brands
sub list_brands
{
    local @rv;
    opendir(BRND, "/usr/lib/brand");
    foreach (readdir(BRND)) {
        if ($_ !~ /^\./){
            push(@rv, $_);
        }
    }
    close(BRND);
return @rv;
}
------------------------------------------------------------

Actually, it might be simpler if you just download Webmin 1.480, make your
changes, then send me a patch.

That sounds like a bug. Let me know if you find the cause..

[Todd K. <tod...@gm...>]

Yeah I can add them to SVN....I guess once I have access I'll download the
files I need to change from SVN then upload them once the changes have been
made.

Also - There's a problem with the The breadcrumb link in Solaris Zones that
is suppose to get you back to the previous page...but what happens is that
when you click it it reruns the previous selection. So if you created a zone
and then selected the return to zones list link at the bottom of the page it
tries to create the zone again....I can hunt that down but might take me
longer since I'm still trying to familiarize myself with that module.

     Hey guys,
     I've been doing some work on the Solaris Zones module and have added a few

   Hi Todd,
   You can just email a patch to me directly at [1]jca...@we... , and I
   will apply it for inclusion in the next Webmin release. The zones mode
   hasn't been touched for a while, and so is overdue for some new features.

   Webmin SVN repository..

[webmin-devel] Solaris Zones module

[Todd K. <tod...@gm...>]

Hey guys,

I've been doing some work on the Solaris Zones module and have added a few
features and plan on making a few more. Like the ability to define a spare
root zone or whole root zone before the config, plus I plan adding the
template feature of zonecfg to the creation process as well. This would help
out allot since Solaris zones support branding of sol8 and sol9. Once I am
finished what is the best way to get patches to you Jamie? I've never
submitted anything before so I'm new to that part of it.

Thanks

Hi Paul,

I've committed your patch to SVN myself, as I'm not sure why SVN isn't workig
for you. I can check the logs on our SVN server though .. what IP address
were you connecting from?

[webmin-devel] Shorewall module checkin

[Paul G. <pa...@ge...>]

Hi Jamie,

I've just added the ability to create a shorewall dump to the shorewall
module, but i'm having difficulty checking it into svn.  The error
message i get is:

$ svn ci -m'Add ability to show a shorewall dump'
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Server sent unexpected return value (200 OK) in response to
MKACTIVITY request for
'/svn/webmin/!svn/act/ec2c5dec-9b7a-4c8b-acb4-20cd362a54b2'

$ svn info
Path: .
URL: http://svn.webmin.com/svn/webmin/shorewall
Repository Root: http://svn.webmin.com/svn/webmin
Repository UUID: 4866884f-ef2d-0410-b9e6-f4f624169e46

Last Changed Author: jcameron
Last Changed Rev: 4713
Last Changed Date: 2009-05-24 16:17:47 +1000 (Sun, 24 May 2009)

I suspect this might be an authentication or proxy issue (it's a while
since i've worked on webmin), but i'm not sure.  At any rate, my patch
is attached.

The functionality is a shameless rip-off of the existing status.cgi.
(Under new versions of shorewall, "shorewall status" shows nothing of
value when the verbosity is low.)  I've given it rudimentary testing and
it works for me, but the translations of the strings are obviously missing.

Paul
