Issues w/ .13 so far
by Stefan G. Weichinger 17 Sep '12

17 Sep '12

greets, I am new to this list, afai see my issues weren't mentioned before, so I think they aren't FAQ ;-) Both seem to be WebGUI-issues. I installed from scratch onto CF-card, running on an older ALIX board. Restored my backup pulled from the former 2.11 core 62 installation. My DHCP-setup seemed to be there, but didn't work ... fixed leases were visible but didn't get pulled by the devices (laptop, tablet, phone). Maybe I should have rebooted once more (I think I did anyway ...), will retest after writing this mail. Additional: tried to re-add a fixed lease via GUI. I usually want to say "add fixed lease for this MAC currently using a dynamic lease" ... then MAC and IP are "copied" into the field "Neue Zuordnung", I normally edit the IP (and description), then ADD. Now the dynamic lease gets added to the fixed lease before, so the MAC is already there and ADDing fails. (minor issue aside: typo in german dhcp.gi: "Globaler Bereich oder begenze Bereich" ... should be "begrenze") - With IPSEC I had the case of mismatching display: connected tunnels seemed disactivated and vice versa, see attachment. Right now it looks ok. Will retest w/ other tunnels soon. Greets, Stefan (rebooting now)

openvpn broken in 13
by R. W. Rodolico 17 Sep '12

17 Sep '12

there was a bug for core61, I found a problem with OpenVPN. The discussion is at http://forum.ipfire.org/index.php/topic,6773.0.html. This problem still exists in the beta. ummeegge created a patch that repairs the issue, and it should be put into ovpnmain.cgi. It appears, in the tests I ran, to solve the issue. Rod

Possible bug in 13
by R. W. Rodolico 12 Sep '12

12 Sep '12

This may not be a bug. I am messing with something I do not understand very well. However, I was able to get an error message when trying to add a rule to QOS. Steps taken: 1. Add parent class 2. Class: 190, Interface Red0, Priority 1, Guaranteed Bandwidth 325, Maximum Bandwidth 6514, Burst null, Ceil Burst null, TOS 0, Remark "Daily Data ssh" 3. Add new port rule, tcp source 54555 4. Add new port rule, tcp destination 54555 Red graph now shows error message The image "https://10.111.163.1:444/cgi-bin/qos.cgi?red0?hour" can not be displayed, because it contains errors" Anything I should to to investigate? Or, possibly I need to simply wait until the rrd's are updated, in which case I'd think the error message should read "updating" or something. Rod -- R. W. "Rod" Rodolico Daily Data, Inc.

Hallo Zusammen oder auch nicht wie ihr wollt direkt in medias res satzzeichen sind nicht so meine Sache Wieder einmal mit interesse ein core update? Wird sofort installiert dann testers wanted?? Guggen wir mal ob es Eurer Meinung nach Sinn macht wenn ich mich da einklinke Ich habe seit ca 1,5 Jahren den Ipfire am laufen. Ich finde Ipfire ein gelungenes Stück Software und bin auch gerne bereit mich da einzubringen, aber zuerst einige Infos warum und weswegen und was ich kann und was ich nicht kann Ipfire läuft bei mir ausschliesslich privat, ursprünglich komme ich wohl mehr aus der hardwareecke auch wenn ich über einige Programmiererfahrung verfüge. Seit dem PCs für Normalanwender erschwinglich waren, das sind wohl schon etliche Jahrzehnte stehen bei mir Computer rum. Ipfire habe ich installiert weil ich vor eben ca 1,5 Jahren eine vernünftige Anwendung für einen zusätzlichen Rechner mit einer AMD E-350 CPU, die damals brandneu waren suchte. Eigentlich ist der Einsatz eines solchen Rechners für einen Einpersonenhaushalt völlig überdimensioniert, andererseits gäbe das m.E. eine ideale Testumgebung ab, weil sie in ihrer Struktur sehr stabil ist zumindest hardwaremässig. IPfire versorgt im Prinzip einen Windoof-Rechner mit win7 einen laptop mit XP und einen Rechner mit einem Centos 6.2 der als webserver und NAS fungiert. Als User steht nur eine Person dahinter. Ich bin weder professioneller IT-ler noch verfüge ich über weitreichende linux-kenntnisse, bei mir muss das Zeug einfach funktionieren, mein Verständnis für die Zusammenhänge reicht wohl aus, Eure Wikki-Seiten zu verstehen, aber wenn ich nicht schnell erreiche was ich will, suche ich schnell andere Lösungen, versuche diese zu integrieren ich kenne mein Ziel wie ich da hinkomm, naja trial und error häufig (darum auch der Cent-Os rechner nä). Um es kurz zu machen, ich habe eine sturkturierte Arbeitsumgebung, bin ein vielleicht überdurchschnittlicher Anwender, aber kein Profi und habe auch nicht die Ambitionen das zu werden, der Mist muss funktionieren und finde die Distribution einfach nur gut und wäre bereit mich einzubringen. Ich sehe aber hinter dem (meinem) Engagement nur ein Sinn, wenn die Zielvorgaben klar definiert sind (sorry, mein Geld verdien ich als kaufmännischer Leiter eines KMU-Dienstleistungsunternehmens und dort bin ich auch für die 9001-Norm zuständig), einfach nur so ins Blaue hauen liegt mit nicht. Wenn irgendjemand mit diesen Vorgaben was anfangen kann und will und für sinnvoll erachtet, bin ich für weitere Gespräche gern bereit. Wenn nicht J na dann halt nicht Nox

IPFire "thirteen"
by Michael Tremer 04 Sep '12

04 Sep '12

Hello, this is to announce the first test release for IPFire 2.13 with codename "thirteen". So what has been going on? The IPFire project is going to release another release of IPFire 2. This is kind of inevitable because we feel that the current base is getting a bit old and that we should refresh some of the components to make life easier in the future. IPFire 2 will have to live for a long time until there is a working release of IPFire 3. Updates components: The Linux kernel Arne has been working on updating to the latest LTS kernel, which is Linux 3.2. It is maintained by Ben Hutchings for a couple of years, so this is a good base to build our little system on. The mission critical drivers (networking, media and some more) have been picked from the Linux 3.5 release (compat-wireless 3.5.x) for better hardware support. I will leave out what the benefits are. You all know. Glibc update Glibc has been updated to the 2.12 branch. This is a huge step (from 2.3.6) which brings us a lot of advantages. New software compiles much better without annoying patches, software runs much master and a lot of security holes have been closed. Glibc is compiled with the most optimization as possible. We don't expect this to break anything, but you never know. It is the biggest change that has ever been done in user space since the release of IPFire 2.1. GCC + binutils (aka toolchain) The basic toolchain components have been updated. Mainly: GCC 4.4.7, binutils 2.22. Advantages: More speed (in compiling and code execution), compiler bugs fixes. Enables us to use some hardening features in the kernel. The toolchain may now be cross-compiled on x86_64 which get us rid of the requirement of a 32bit host system for building IPFire. Although IPFire remains i586. The same cross-compiling thing works for ARM, which is even more important because there are not many distributions supporting armv5tel. Stripping binaries has been improved. More basic system libraries and tools have been updated: zlib 1.2.7, ncurses 5.9, bash 3.2 (with a bunch of patches), readline 6.2, iproute 3.5.1, gettext 0.18.1.1, ccache 3.1.8, less 443, file 5.11, texinfo 4.13a and some more which I have completely forgotten. PCRE The PCRE library now comes in two flavours. The first version is a compat version for tools which have been compiled against the previous package. The new one comes with a JIT compiler, which makes processing regular expressions much faster. The URL filter feature may benefit from that the most. rrdtool Has been updated and draws its graphs with help of cairo/pango/pixman. This is much faster and looks a bit prettier. :D grub has got a new patchset. Some packages which have been unused/unusable for some time have been removed: resier4progs, libaal, hddtemp, applejuice, iptstate, splix. glib(2), fontconfig and freetype are not a package anymore. These are essential for a huge number of addons. ---- Well, these are some things and now we need you all for testing. As you may have guessed, some of the changes are scary and so we need the evidence that everything works pretty well. You will only find an ISO image and no update, because a) the update has not been built, yet and b) we don't want you to crash your production systems. Please use your testing hardware of virtual machines. The first is the better option. Don't forget to report any bugs and also give feedback if you are not experiencing any serious problems. http://people.ipfire.org/~ms/unsupported/ipfire-2.11-thirteen/ Michael

IPFire2 thirteen won't install
by Daniel Weismüller 31 Aug '12

31 Aug '12

Hi I've tested the new thirteen and can't install it. Wheather in Virtualbox nor on a native machine. The installationprocedure don't find an HDD for installation. In my opinion the error lies in the script /bin/mountdest.sh If I edit the line 26 and remove "-or -name vd*" the script works fine and the installtionprocedure won't crash. - Daniel -- __________________________________________ You need a firewall?

IPFire and FireFilter (aka Copfilter)
by Erik K. 25 Aug '12

25 Aug '12

Hi all, i have found the latest news on the planet from Michael --> http://planet.ipfire.org/post/ipfire-and-firefilter-aka-copfilter and i think this is a great idea. This supplement fills up a gap in IPFire. I hope the Copfilter developers are joining the IPFire project to release their good work also for this platform. Also i have seen in the last time a lot of people coming from IPCop to IPFire Forum and they was asking for additional solutions like Copfilter for IPFire. There is a survey in the Copfilter forum for this idea, so may a similar thread in the IPFire forum can be also a good idea. What do you think about this ? Greetings Erik
