[FOSSology] Fossology error in syslog

[Dave McLoughlin]

Today I was running a license scan with Fossology 1.0 when my Apache
server stopped unexpectedly.  I started looking around in my logs to see
if I could figure out what caused it and found this in my syslog right
around the time of the crash:

 

Mar  3 11:39:01 engsrv3 cron[6236]: Error: bad username; while reading
/etc/cron.d/Fossology

 

Here are the contents of /etc/cron.d/Fossology:

 

# this cron should be run daily by user postgres for fossology database

#

# Copyright (C) 2007 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.

 

#

# cluster

0 0 * * * if [ -x /usr/bin/clusterdb ]; then /usr/bin/clusterdb
--username postgres fossology >/dev/null; fi

#

# Run VACUUM ANALYSE on all databases every 5 hours if pg_autovacuum is
not

# running

0 3 * * * if [ -x /usr/sbin/pg_maintenance ]; then
/usr/sbin/pg_maintenance --full --analyze >/dev/null; fi

 

I saw it a few more times after that as well:

 

Mar  3 11:39:01 engsrv3 cron[6236]: Error: bad username; while reading
/etc/cron.d/fossology

Mar  3 11:42:01 engsrv3 cron[6236]: Error: bad username; while reading
/etc/cron.d/fossology

Mar  3 11:49:01 engsrv3 cron[6236]: Error: bad username; while reading
/etc/cron.d/fossology

Mar  3 11:51:01 engsrv3 cron[6236]: Error: bad username; while reading
/etc/cron.d/Fossology

 

Two questions:  1) could this be related to my Apache crash in anyway?
2) what does this mean?

 

I'm running on Ubuntu 8.04.2 (Hardy)  64bit. 

 

Thanks,

[FOSSology] filter_license job failing

[Dave McLoughlin]

I just recently did a clean install of v1.1 on Ubuntu.  I did some
license analysis on a couple files I uploaded "from url" and the
analysis completed fine.

 

Now I am trying to do some analysis on some files I uploaded "from
server" and the analysis keeps failing at the filter_license stage.

 

I'm attaching my log file from the point I restarted Fossology upto the
latest failure.

 

Please let me know if you can tell me why the job is failing.

Great, thanks for the info. Yes, I did see the stack smashing detected
in my stdout.  Unfortunately, I didn't realize it was related to my

Dave,

I've reported similar issue in Ubuntu about a month ago, see thread
starting at this message: 
http://www.mail-archive.com/fossology@fossology.org/msg00545.html

You could confirm you are seeing the same issue by capturing the agent
stdout/stderr and seeing if Filter_License is crashing due to "stack
smashing". (I captured agent stderr/stdout by restarting fossology
service from shell command line.)

The last message in the thread contains my diagnosis of the likely
cause. What I did NOT report to the list was my workaround: I recompiled
Filter_License agent with stack smashing protection disabled, by adding 
"-fno-stack-protector" into CFLAGS_LOCAL in
agents/foss_license_agent/Filter_License/Makefile, and Filter_License
has been running fine ever since. 

Of course, your issue may be something totally different, in which case
someone more qualified than myself will have to help.

Best regards,
-Dragoslav

Is there any other information I can supply to help?  Let me know. 

BTW, I'm attaching the complete dump from my stdout in case you find it

A workaround is nice, but we really ought to fix the stack overflow
issue
itself in filter_license, yes (assuming that is what's happening)?

[FOSSology] Deleting old unused files

[Dave McLoughlin]

I was uploading several gbytes of files from a server and made some
changes to my system that caused the copy to fail mid way.  So, I
deleted the agent and restarted the upload from scratch.  However, I can
see that a few gbytes of data got copied over to my Fossology server.
Where do those files live?  Can I go into my file system and delete the
unwanted files?

[FOSSology] Changing the repository in Fossology

[Dave McLoughlin]

Can I move a repository in Fossology after it has been created and
populated?  I was recently analyzing some source and ran out of disk
space on the partition where my repository is stored.  I'd like to know
if I can move the repository to a larger partition.

[FOSSology] sh: fossjobs: not found error

[Dave McLoughlin]

I just installed Fossology 1.1.0 on Ubuntu 9.04.  I had previously
installed it in the default location and it was running fine (after I
took care of the stack smashing issue).  I just did a fresh install from
source on a new system, but this time I put Fossology in a non-standard
location, i.e. I tried to install it in a volume labeled /audit.

 

I've been trying to run some license analysis from "server uploads", but
the agent keeps failing after a few minutes.  The logs aren't showing
any error messages.  Here's the last few lines of my log:

But in the shell where I start Fossology from I keep seeing "sh:
fossjobs: not found".

 

Please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Dave,

I'm sure we can solve it.  What is going on is that is the temp file 
created for the wget.  Is this the installation that has the changed 
paths for some items in Makefile.conf?  It's sorta interesting in that 
it looks like a debian package install.

The path to the temp file looks funny, is that really /? If so, that's a

strange setup as I don't think the fossy user (who would be creating 
this temp file...) has write permission in /.  Which would explain why 
it's not there.

We are finding here at fossology headquarters that ubuntu is not 
debian.  Well it is, but is just different enough to be causing us 
issues on it.  Don't get me wrong, I am running ubuntu on my laptop as I

type this... but the newer versions of ubuntu seem to be different 
enough from lenny that our users keep running into issues.

Can you give me more details of your

[FOSSology] Moving the repository

[Dave McLoughlin]

I have been off the mailing list for some time, so I apologize in advance if
this has already been answered.  What is the best way to move a repository
to a new system?  I installed Fossology on a different machine, did a
database dump and imported into the new install fine.  But I haven¹t had any
luck getting Fossology to see my repository that I moved to the new system.

Here are the steps I took:
1. installed Fossology on a new computer
2. dumped the original install database
3. imported the database dump into postgresql on the new computer (at this
point I was able to browse all my uploads)
4. tar¹ed up the repository directory
5. moved it to the new computer (I put it in a different location so I
updated my RepPath.conf file)
6. when I first moved the repository the user and group were set to root so
I updated it to be fossy:fossy

At this point when I go to view a file in fossology I get a message that the
file is not in the repository.

I¹m using localhost on both systems, so I didn¹t update my Hosts.conf.

Thanks,

[FOSSology] Install of 1.2.1

[Dave McLoughlin]

Hi folks,

I'm running into a few issue with installing (upgrading, I had 1.10 installed) 
Fossology 1.2.1 on Ubuntu and was hoping someone might be able to assist me.

issues:
1) fo-installdeps - I get an error that I have an Unknown or Unsupport version 
of Ubuntu.  I have Ubuntu 9.10 installed.  Here are the last few lines of the 
console:

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  libstdc++6-4.3-dev linux-headers-2.6.28-15 g++-4.3 phonon
  libmysqlclient15off phonon-backend-gstreamer libmagick++1 libphonon4
  libkadm55 librsvg2-dev postgresql-8.3 linux-headers-2.6.28-15-generic
  qt4-qtconfig
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
ERROR: Unknown or Unsupported Ubuntu release

2) After the install I'm see the following in my browser when I navigate to 
http://localhost/repo/:

Warning: file_get_contents(/usr/local/etc/fossology/Db.conf) 
[function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in 
/usr/local/share/fossology/www/plugins/core-db.php on line 91

Warning: pg_pconnect() [function.pg-pconnect]: Unable to connect to PostgreSQL 
server: FATAL: database "www-data" does not exist in 
/usr/local/share/fossology/www/plugins/core-db.php on line 91

Warning: pg_last_error(): supplied argument is not a valid PostgreSQL link 
resource in /usr/local/share/fossology/www/plugins/core-db.php on line 136

The user/group is set to root on those files.  Do they need to fossy/fossy?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

thanks

Thanks, that did it.  I assumed because I was upgrading the ³post install²
steps would have stuck from the previous install.  Oops.

I believe I saw something in the mailing list about losing backwards

I found it.  Here¹s what I was referring to:

>From Mary Laser to the fossology mailing list on 11/12/10:

³Furthermore, there is NO upgrade path from bSAM results to nomos results.
Therefore, you MUST rerun license analysis on your uploads using the nomos
analyzer introduced in 1.2.0.²

Re: [FOSSology] Announcing FOSSology 1.3.0 Release (Laser, Mary)

[Dave McLoughlin]

I¹m not sure I understand what ³upgrade path from bsam results to nomos
results² means.

If I have some scans from 1.1 and I upgrade to 1.3, does it mean I won¹t be
able to view the old results unless I rescan them in 1.2 using nomos.

re: suggestions? I don¹t want to have to rescan everything I currently have
in Fossology that was done using bSam.  I would like to be able to at a
minimum still be able to see the old results.  When you remove the bSam
code, does that mean you also remove the ability to see any old data that
was originally scanned with bSam?

Thanks,

Dave

[FOSSology] Upgrade path for 1.3.0

[Dave McLoughlin]

Folks,

I¹m embarrassed to say I¹m still on 1.1.0, but am ready to go to 1.3.0  I
actually tested an install of 1.2.1 on a vm and didn¹t have any issues.  I
just put it on top of the 1.1.0 I had installed in the vm and it worked
fine, i.e. all the data from previous scans were still there and accessible.

When I got to 1.3.0 do I need to do an intermediate build/install of 1.2.0
first?  Or, can I go right to 1.3.0?  I would like to keep all the old scans
I have in 1.1.0.

Thanks,

Dave

Mark,

Thanks for the update on 1.3.1.  I don't see needing bsam or the other
features you are removing going forward.  Thanks for keeping access to the
previously created bsam data, though.

This will definitely meet our needs.

[FOSSology] 1.3.0 Install issues

[Dave McLoughlin]

I completed the "upgrade" from 1.1 to 1.2.1 this morning and the install worked 
fine.  I was able to view all existing scans in my database.  And I ran a new 
sample scan and it worked fine.

I just attempted to "upgrade" to 1.3.0 and saw a few errors.  I was wondering 
if you can help me debug.

during the make install, I'm seeing:

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/dave/fossology-1.3.0/agents/copyright'
/usr/bin/install -D copyright /usr/local/lib/fossology/agents/
/usr/bin/install: cannot overwrite directory

Re: [FOSSology] 1.3.0 Install issues

[Dave McLoughlin]

Thanks, that was it.  I had updated and moved from Postgresql 8.3 to 8.4
(prior to doing the install of fossology 1.3.1).  I had to update my
postgresql.conf as well to match settings from the INSTALL instructions.
Everything is working fine now.

You may want to consider having the make install take care of that as a
feature enhancement for the future.

Thanks,

dave

[FOSSology] Copyright listed by file

[Dave McLoughlin]

I noticed that with the new Nomos license analysi there is an option get the
file list associated with the licenses.

How would I do that for the copyright/email/url info.  Can I write a sql
query and get that info?

Thanks,

[FOSSology] Bugs in Fossology 1.3.0

[Dave McLoughlin]

I¹m seeing a few issues in the latest version of Fossology and wanted to ask
you the best way to report the bugs and what info you need.

I have a scan that allows me to see the Nomos List but will only show a few
lines of the License Tree.  When I try to display the license tree it shows
the first 10 or 15 lines then the browser stops refreshing.  There are
hundreds of license matches in this scan, so the tree should be much larger.

And I have another scan that fails when trying to build the Nomos License
List.  It gives an error that says that there was a fatal error and that
some process took too long.  Sorry, I don¹t have the actual message, I can¹t
reproduce it each time.

And I¹m not seeing anything in the logs for either issue.

Can you give me advice for providing more info?  Perhaps I can delete the
scans and rescan to see if it fixes the issues.

Let me know.

[FOSSology] Session time out

[FOSSology] 1.3.0 feedback

[Dave McLoughlin]

I was finally able to get my Nomos License list to display on the screen.  I
had to edit my php.ini max_execution_time.  Default is 90 seconds, I upped
it to 900 and I was able to get it to work.  The nomos list had over 106,000
files.  The problem was that the error didn't always display when it failed.
When it did show up again it said something like "Fatal error: max execution
time exceeded."  I'm surprised this message went to the browser and not to
the log files.  Must be another setting someplace else.

The approach that fossology took in regards to displaying the bsam "license
tree" results, was to feed the data as it became available, so you could see
partial results over time.  It looks like with the "nomos license list", you
run a script then pass the results to the browser after all data is
collected.  The prior approach seems better to me because you get a sense of
progress or status.  But with the nomos list approach, you don't really know
if it's working or not.  Does that make sense?

Also, one thing I really liked about the bsam license tree, was that it
included links in the data back to the file.  But the nomos list is just a
static list of files that you have to manually navigate to in order to
review the results.

[FOSSology] Trying to build Fossology on Mac OS X

[Dave McLoughlin]

Finally getting around to trying to build fossology on Mac OS X.

I ran into this when trying to run make:
gcc scheduler.o spawn.o sockets.o agents.o hosts.o debug.o dberror.o
selftest.o logging.o lockfs.o sched_utils.o dbstatus.o dbq.o -I`pg_config
--includedir` -L`pg_config --libdir` -I../devel/libfossdb
-L../devel/libfossdb -lfossdb -I../devel/libfossrepo -L../devel/libfossrepo
-lfossrepo \
-lrt -lpq -DSVN_REV="\"1.4.0, exported\"" -g -O2 -Wall -o
fossology-scheduler
ld: library not found for -lrt

I dug around a little and found this: librt.a is the System V name of the
library containing the POSIX Advanced Realtime [RT} Option functions. The
specific function you are asking about is part of the [TMR] option. If Mac
OS X supported it, it would be in libSystem.B,dylib, not librt.a. The
function in question is not supported by Mac OS X.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave

[FOSSology] Deb install on Ubuntu

[Dave McLoughlin]

Up til now, I¹ve only installed fossology from source.  Yesterday I went to
do a clean install of the latest release 1.4.1 on Ubuntu 11.04.  So I
downloaded fossology_1.4.1_all.deb
(http://fossology.org/debian/ubuntu/maverick/fossology_1.4.1_all.deb).  I
double clicked on the package and it appears to have installed something.

How do I know what it installed, where it installed it and what I need to do
next to get fosslogy running?  Is there a README associated with the deb
package?

I checked top ­u fossy and it shows that it is running.  But when I go to
http://localhost/repo/, it appears Apache is not configured.  So, it appears
there are some additional steps I need to take to complete the install, I¹m
just not sure what they are.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

I should have included the postgresql logs yesterday.  Does this help pinpoint 
the issue? This is the last couple entries from the postgresql log:

Re: [FOSSology] Database connection error

[Dave McLoughlin]

Mark,

I double checked and the postgresql.conf file has the changes listed in the
INSTALL doc.  I've also made the other listed config changes.

I had tried to do a deb install first, but couldn't get it to work.  I have
Ubuntu 11.04 and it looks like the deb packages don't support that version
of the OS.  So I cleaned everything off and build it from source.  The
fo-installdeps did not work and gave an error message that said "Unsupported
version of Ubuntu."  So I manually installed the dependencies with Synaptic
package manager.

The pg_hba.conf is identical to the one I have on an older version of Ubuntu
where I have fossology 1.3.0 installed and running fine.

So I'm not sure where the problem is at this point.

Thanks,

Dave

Re: [FOSSology] License highlighting (Bob Gobeille)

[Dave McLoughlin]

I'll cast my vote, highlighting is very important to us.  We spend a lot of
time searching, scrolling and manually scanning contents to find a match
when there's no highlighting.

It's extremely painful when the contents are displayed across multiple
pages.

[FOSSology] Ubuntu 11.04

[Dave McLoughlin]

Has anyone tried to install Fossology 1.4.0 on Ubuntu 11.04?

I ran into some problems a few weeks ago with some database issues and
haven¹t had time to get back to it until this week.  I just tried a fresh
install from source and got the following at the end of fo-postinstall
script:

*** Checking database connectivity ***
NOTE: Connect succeeded, database is working.
*** Initializing database tables ***
PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function pg_connect() in
/usr/local/share/fossology/www/common/common-db.php on line 51
ERROR: Unable to initialize.

Mary L had recommended I check out my postgresql config, probably still the
same issue.  I¹m just wondering if anyone has seen this and has been able to
solve it.

Thanks,

Dave
