Where's the easy install script located? Sorry, I"m relearning everything and i'm on painkillers that make me more stupid than usual.

Wed Oct 30 2019 05:45:47 PM EDT from IGnatius T Foobar @ Uncensored Subject: Re: How to hide alternate authentication buttons on the login page

We don't need the authentication selector buttons (internal, openid, google,  yahoo, etc) on the login page since we can only use the internal method.

How can I hide or remove the authentication selection buttons?

If you don't want users to be able to create their own accounts, you can disable self-service user account creation. In that case, not only will the social login buttons disappear, but the "new user" button will disappear as well, and you will only be able to log in when an administrator creates a user account.

Our potential use case is on an isolated network (so no social login) but requires on-the-fly registration. So the disable self-service user account creation knob doesn't meet our needs.

My work around is in the the attached patch.

Hi, i would like to know how to deal with controlling who sees what on a citadel installation, when you have more than one group of people, using the system - say friends on one side, and relations on the other (work/ friends etc...) who you want to only grant access to certain rooms/want to keep apart from each other?

A fresh Citadel install.

Base os = 2019-09-26-raspbian-buster-lite

The install went smoothly using the Easy Install.

Apache is not part of raspbian lite and was not installed. The essentials installed were:

build-essential curl g++ gettext shared-mime-info libssl-dev zlib1g-dev

Using the internal citadel web server and firefox to access it.

Some of the time when restarting citadel there are port in use errors thrown up, but so far they have always cleared and the server started successfully. I suspect it is some systemd stupidity.

When sending an attachment from one account to another on the same server I have found repeatably so far that:

For a plain text attachment (one byte per character) the attachment when downloaded using the web interface will be corrupted. This is true both for the received email and also for the attachment when downloaded from the sent folder.

For the corrupted file, the first 51 decimal (32hex) characters will be correct. There will then be corruption of 157decimal characters including the insertion of three extra bytes before another set of 51 decimal correct characters. This pattern then appears to repeat.

However if the received email is downloaded by a POP client then the attachment received by the pop client is uncorrupted and correct. I don't have an IMAP client to hand to check its behaviour.

Hopefully the above may help you hunt the bug.

As a follow up having just found an IMAP client and checked with it, that again shows no corruption on the attachment. View or download of the attachment in the sent folder by way of the web interface still shows corruption as described.

It seems like the attachment is stored / available uncorrupted but when downloaded or viewed via the citadel web interface it is corrupt.

Hopefully between the corruption description and it appearing to be only in the web interface you can swat this.

If I  made errors with your system terminology the apologies, hopefully you can still follow my thoughts, and because I forgot the versions are:

Having just tried fresh easy installs into both a ubuntu 32 bit virtual box and a ubuntu 64 bit virtual box neither show the same symptoms. Both on a 64bit Intel windows 7 host.

It would appear that the problem is Pi architecture specific.

trying to run an easyinstall with a hosed apt update and it keeps stopping at a certain point. i inadvertently deleted my backup so i'm running a disk utility to undelete that directory. in the meantime, i have the database and config files still available. could i start all over with those files and import everything later?

i'd really like to wipe the drive and install the latest ubuntu server, patch it, and reinstall citadel.

Here is the apt error. I did attmept to manually install dependencies to work around the apt errors, as you can see.

Hello,

I want to connect my Citadel Server to my active directory.

The problem is:

All AD users should only see "Notes", "Tasks" and "Log off" and nothing more.

The "customize this menu" button should also be invisible.

What do I have to do?

Best regards

Andreas

I have entered 7 domains in citedal

and have the mx records setup

do I also need to add info in the hostname file in Ubuntu

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx  domainname.com   domainname

hope this is the right place for this

Hi, i would like to know how to deal with controlling who sees what on a citadel installation, when you have more than one group of people, using the system - say friends on one side, and relations on the other (work/ friends etc...) who you want to only grant access to certain rooms/want to keep apart from each other?

 

I hope i wasn't asking a silly question here. I know rooms can be private/hidden, public or invitation only. I was wondering, without having a working citadel installation for reference,  how to deal with  ' Group Access ' - and keep two groups of people seperate on the same system.

(one system, two use cases)

Kind Regards Mike

Hello and thanks to anyone for any direction/help they can provide -

I'm installing in a Kubuntu virtual machine for testing/demo purposes. I have installed pre-requisites but wehter I wget or curl and use the easyinstall script, the console seems to hang with no errors. There's no indication of any progress, ie. no % total or received displayed under those headings. 

The internet connection is fine and there are no firewall rules that would be stopping something like this - on which end is the problem?

Replying to my own message to update:

Not sure why it didn't pipe to sh, but I just curl'd it and pasted it into a file, then chmod+x'd it, then ran as su and it's installing. <shrug>
