[2022-07-19] oVirt 4.4.7 to 4.4.10 Upgrade + Switch to CentOS Stream
Many IT specialists (incl. myself) prefer to run oVirt Engine as dedicated VM on separate server outside oVirt environment, rather to use so called hosted engine. In this case, upgrading oVirt from 4.4.7 to 4.4.10 while switching to CentOS Stream (from CentOS 7/8) is not an easy task. Straight upgrade (while switching base distro to CentOS Stream) didn’t worked for me at all. So I decide to make clean install of CentOS Stream 8, install oVirt Engine, and restore its data from backup.
1) On old 4.4.7 oVirt Engine, run
engine-backup --scope=all --mode=backup
Backup archive can be found in “/var/lib/ovirt-engine-backup/“. Save it to the new engine installation. Copy and save Grafana password from this file “etc/ovirt-engine-dwh/ovirt-engine-dwhd.conf.d/10-setup-grafana-database.conf” (field GRAFANA_DB_PASSWORD=”your password”). It will be required at step 5.
2) Install new oVirt 4.4.10 as per developer instruction (no need to copy – paste it here). One important moment – you must install THIS rpm, which fixes mirror list bug.
dnf install https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.4/rpm/el8/noarch/ovirt-release44-4.4.10.3-1.el8.noarch.rpm
3) After install of all oVirt Engine packages, downgrade postgresql-jdbc in order to avoid Internal Server Error 500 problem, which renders oVirt web unusable.
dnf --showduplicates list postgresql-jdbc dnf install postgresql-jdbc-42.2.3-3.el8_2
4) Restore data in new Engine with
engine-backup --mode=restore --provision-all-databases --restore-permissions --file=ovirt-engine-backup-your-actual.backup
5) Running oVirt Engine setup just after importing all data is very likely to abort with [ERROR] Failed to execute stage ‘Environment setup’: Cannot connect to database for grafana using existing credentials: ovirt_engine_history_grafana@localhost:5432.
Run these commands to fix this:
su - postgres -s/bin/bash psql -d ovirt_engine_history CREATE ROLE ovirt_engine_history_grafana; ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES FOR ROLE ovirt_engine_history IN SCHEMA public GRANT SELECT ON TABLES TO ovirt_engine_history_grafana; ALTER ROLE ovirt_engine_history_grafana WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'your password from p1'; ALTER ROLE ovirt_engine_history_grafana WITH LOGIN;

One of the worst nightmares I have encountered after upgrade to the newer version of Firefox. Backup copy of my profile folder was many months old. Here is what to do in this unfortunate case.
1) In the location bar, type “about:config” without quotes. Press enter and ignore warning (click “I accept the risk” button).
2) From search bar, find and select variable named “signon.importedFromSqlite” (without quotes). Right click mouse button, choose “Reset” from menu.
3) From rightmost menu “Help” select “Troubleshooting Information“. Click on the button “Open Directory” right to the “Profile Directory” title, then open current profile directory itself (usually named something like xyzabracodabra.default). Or just navigate to this directory manually in file manager.
Delete file named “logins.json” and restart Firefox.
Few recent entries may be lost, yet major part of login/password database will be restored.

LibreOfice upgrade from 4.0x to 4.2x resulted in unexpected PyUNO errors at startup. It appeared in quite complex spreadsheet with LibreOffice Basic and Python macros, which have been used for years without any problem.
Quite strange, problem emerge only when document was opened, after this any re-calculation went without any error. Finally I found a source of this glitch. My spreadsheet consisted of many sheets, one of which was obsolete and kept for historical (logging) purposes. Some numbers were erased from this old sheet. LibreOffice 4.0x (and earlier) do recalculation (at document open) of only current (active) sheet, while 4.2x – in all sheets within spreadsheet. Complete removal of obsolete stuff solves startup errors.

Error: RPM failed: warning: /var/cache/zypper/RPMS/webmin-1.900-1.noarch.rpm: Header V3 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 11f63c51: NOKEY

Unable to identify operating system
error: %prein(webmin-1.900-1.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 2
error: webmin-1.900-1.noarch: install failed
This happens because version information is now stored in “/etc/os-release” instead of “/etc/SuSE-release“, and even format of these 2 files is different. So, create new file as root with “nano /etc/SuSE-release“, and paste this content: For Leap 15.0 openSUSE Leap 15.0 (x86_64)
VERSION = 15.0
for Tumblweed openSUSE Tumbleweed (x86_64)
VERSION = Tumbleweed

After this everything will work as expected.
[2018-11-15] Fixing Network Woes After Upgrade SuSE Linux Leap 42.x -> 15.0
Upgrading several servers and desktops with SuSE 42.3 to Leap 15.0 brought me a lot of trouble. First, there was a problem with Intel Gigabit Ethernet driver (igb kernel v4.12 module). Running “rcnetwork status” shows “wicked [788]: eth0 setup-in-progress”, and this continues for forever. Log entry “wickedd-nanny[795]: eth0: state=device-up want=network-up, wait-for=link-up” at first sight pointed to broken wire link, yet it wasn’t the case. This is clearly a problem with wicked and “igb” kernel module combo, because USB AX88772 Ethernet adapter works with the same PC with same cable and switch. Subsequently it was fixed, yet few months later same kind of upgrade failed again. Network was up and and down in endless cycle. Quick check revealed, that networking was switched to wicked, which conflicted with Gnome/MATE NetworkManager applet (latter tried to configure networking on its own in a timed interval). Removing “NetworkManager-applet” fixed this problem.

[2018-09-10] Activating BFQ scheduler
BFQ (budget fair queuing) kernel scheduler allows much better GUI response under heavy IO loads, especially on relatively slow/old systems. This is done by means of assigning certain budget to the amount of traffic to each block device within each scheduling cycle. Algorithm is pretty complex and smart, details go beyond scope of this article. Here is how to activate it on Linux system. 1) Add scsi_mod.use_blk_mq=1 to the kernel boot parameters. 2) Create/edit config file /etc/udev/rules.d/61-bfq-scheduler.rules
### Rule start ###
#SSD
ACTION=="add|change", KERNEL=="sd[a-z]", ATTR{queue/rotational}=="0", ATTR{queue/scheduler}="bfq"
#Rotating
ACTION=="add|change", KERNEL=="sd[a-z]", ATTR{queue/rotational}=="1", ATTR{queue/scheduler}="bfq"
### Rule end ###
3) Restart system. Run this in terminal as root:
cat /sys/block/sdxxx/queue/scheduler
If everything is OK, then output will look like this: mq-deadline kyber [bfq] none

[2018-09-09] Logging malicious crack attempt passwords with Dovecot and ISPConfig 3.x
It really great and useful feature to log malicious crack attempt passwords. However, by default ISPConfig server only bans bad IPs for a short period of time.
tail -n 1000000 /var/log/mail.log | grep pop3-login | grep failed
shows failed entries, however
tail -n 1000000 /var/log/mail.log | grep mismatch
shows nothing – no recorded bogus passwords. Options in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-logging.conf were:
auth_verbose = yes
As I’m was explained by ISPConfig support team, everything in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/ is being ignored, so one need to modify main Dovecot configuration file like this.
auth_verbose_passwords = plain
auth_debug_passwords = yes
/etc/dovecot.conf
auth_verbose_passwords = plain
Please note: 1) dovecot.conf will be overwritten with next ISPConfig update. 2) smtp Postfix passwords will not be recorder. I’m still looking for solution.

[2013-09-23] Installing OpenSuSE on Intel server m/b S1200BTL E98681-352 and LSI 3Ware 9750-4i RAID L5
After assembling new server with Intel server m/b S1200BTL E98681-352 (BMC Firmware 1.13.2825, ME Firmware 02.02.00.036) Intel Xeon E3-1230 3.3GHz 8GB ECC RAM LSI 3Ware 9750-4i RAID L5 with 4x1TB WD hard drives I’ve got nasty problem – server won’t boot, just blinking cursor after BIOS prompt. OS (OpenSuSE 12.3 x64 with EFI partition/GRUB2-EFI, secure boot off) was installed on hardware RAID5. Quite strange, since OS installer was loaded from USB stick with EFI partition, and no problem were encountered during installation process. As some people suggested, I flashed latest available Intel m/b firmware (BMC Firmware 1.16.4347, SDR 0.14, ME Firmware 2.2.0.49), switched on / off EFI Optimized Boot in BIOS (tried both possibilities). Looks like I moved one step backward – server just hang at BIOS prompt. Quite strange, in EFI command prompt “map -r” don’t list EFI boot partition on LSI/3Ware RAID. This moved me to the conclusion that LSI 3Ware 9750-4i BIOS and Intel EFI don’t play nicely together. I have removed EFI boot partition and installed GRUB2 instead of GRUB2-EFI. Now everything worked fine. Additionally, please be aware, that although LSI 3Ware 9750-4i theoretically supports RAID 6 (which can survive failure of 2 hard drives simultaneously without data loss), it has only one SFF-8087 4-lane connector, and therefore, requires SAS expander to connect more then 4 SATA drives. This expander costs more then 9750-4i, making it economically unattractive option, one should purchase 9750-8i with 2 x SFF-8087 ports instead in order to use RAID L6 option.

I have noticed strange behavior of ISPConfig 2.x software running on OpenSuSE 11.x – after restart it starts with OK status but doesn’t work properly – at least BIND had to be restarted. I watched startup sequence and noticed a culprit – for whatever reason “ispconfig_server” “rc.init.d” script was launched before network service! No surprise system didn’t worked as expected. Fix is quite simple. First remove “ispconfig_server” from the list of startup scripts (with YAST for example). Second, open “/etc/init.d/ispconfig_server” with any text editor and these lines right at the beginning:
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: ispconfig_server
# Required-Start: $network $syslog
# Should-Start:
# Required-Stop: $network $syslog
# Should-Stop:
# Default-Start: 3 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 2 6
# Short-Description:
# Description:
### END INIT INFO
It will tell OpenSuSE to run “ispconfig_server” only after network service is up and running. Then, add again “ispconfig_server” to the list of active startup scripts.

[2009-10-21] Quick & Dirty Comparison of 2 Directories
Today I had a rather daunting task. I recovered a directory with important documents from my hard drive with damaged partition map. Although files should be OK, who really knows if that is true (there are over 5000 of them). On the other hand, I have a backup made some time ago. So I wish to stay with recovered version which has all new stuff (which I can check manually), but verify if any of older files (last modified more then 1 month ago) may become corrupt. So, basically, I am need to recursively compare 2 directories. Its simple as 1-2-3. Just run in terminal “diff -r -q folder-1.1/ folder-2.2/”. “-r” means “recursive”, “-q” – brief, report only whether the files differ, not the details of the differences. Sample:
diff -r -q folder-1.1/ folder-2.2/
Only in folder-2.2/: 1.txt
Only in folder-1.1/: 1.txt~
Only in folder-1.1/: .emacs2
Files folder-1.1//kitchin.txt and folder-2.2//kitchin.txt differ
