Hi Anton, wasn't 2.3A1 released last week or is this another Alpha release?

[Anton Georgiev]

Hi Bayden10,

>Hi Anton, wasn't 2.3A1 released last week or is this another Alpha release?

It was tagged last week + packages were created. However, more preparatory work was done including testing server setup, improved documentation, etc. This post is the official announcement and acts as an invitation to the community to try 2.3-alpha-1 out.

Regards,

Anton 

[bayden10]

Thank you.  

I've notice some great improvements. Audio Echo test very quick and new settings controls. Should I update our pre-release for those changes you mention using the install script?

[I Brof]

Hi Anton,

Thank you for great upgrade and all efforts 👏

Would you please confirm if the issue of lunching a meeting on 2.3 Alpha is fixed. There's an issue opened about it here:

Hi Bayden10,

>Should I update our pre-release for those changes you mention using the install script?

This release is an early development version, not meant for production. In my opinion the current stage of 2.3 is best used to try out the new functionality, to see if any of your customizations will need adjusting, etc. I do not recommend including it in your release/production environments at this time. 

Hi I Brof,

From what I can tell this issue is not addressed yet.

Regards,

Anton

Hi Anton, 

yes of course not for upgrading our production hosts, as mentioned we have already been testing the earlier version of the Alpha from last week and I have been now trying to use the bbb-install scrip on that Alpha host. It seems that the HTML5 is not upgrading to what you are currently using on your test23 server. Settings area in the HTML5 client is not the same as your test site and also the HTML5 about version reports 2019-1061 where as yours shows client build 2020-1006.

Hi bayden,

Can you try purging all the bbb-* packages and installing again.  It seems you were running an earlier version of 2.3-dev before we reset the package numbers, see

  https://docs.bigbluebutton.org/dev/dev23.html#installation

Regards,... Fred

Hi,

the upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04 reported no errors, however BBB is certainly not happy...

Hi Puill,

We've not tested upgrading a BigBlueButton 16.04 server to 18.04 and then trying to upgrade the BigBlueButton 2.2 to 2.3-dev.  We would recommend installing 2.3-dev on a "clean" 18.04 server and, if needed, migrating over the recordings.

Hi Phil,

> I'll go and dig out the errors.

Recommend just purging all the bbb-* related packages and let bbb-install.sh run again.  Also remove node package and the references to the package repository in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

Hi Fred,

it's a lot easier than that, and can be easily resolved as a couple of extra steps 

sudo apt -y install curl dirmngr apt-transport-https lsb-release ca-certificates

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo -E bash -

With thanks to https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-nodejs-on-ubuntu-debian-linux-mint/

After that, upgrade went fine :)

Hi Fred, 

Purged all apps did the upgrade from the previous of the 2.3a1 again using the install script. When entering a new session HTML5 starts to load and then the 3 dots appear to select audio but then nothing is display, just the dark blue background. Refresh only shows the attempt to load audio selection with the 2 dots. (latest Win10 Chrome & Firefox - cache cleared & incognito).

BigBlueButton 2.3-dev is still under active development, and it might be that the client encountered a Javascript error.  Use the browser's development tools to view the JavaScript console, and look to see if the load sequence encountered any errors.

Hi Fred,

Thank you for your response. Yes just testing the new developments on this build and would never use in production.

I do notice within our setup that on Win10Pro machines, mostly Build (1904), Mac OSX 10.15.5 all using Chrome or Firefox there seems to be some trouble with static and dynamic routes at each browser. iOS devices on the same network do not have this issue.

Debug info when browser stops loading and only the blue background of the HTML5 client is visible.

Hi Bayden10,

Ok, that's the reason for the client not loading.  We'll take a closer look on our end.  Thanks for pointing this out.

Hi, just wondering, 

I notice when HTML5 loads head.html I see Bowser API is being used?

 <script src="compatibility/bowser.js?v=1061" language="javascript"></script>

This seems to be where it freezes, perhaps something has gone amiss from their recent update?

[Lars Kiesow]

Hi Fred, hi Bayden10,

I have seen the same error on our test system.

What's interesting is, that I see this just with rooms created via Greenlight + when I join as moderator.

I made a short recording of what works and what doesn't:

  https://data.lkiesow.io/bbb/bbb-23-moderator-error.mp4

Best regards,

Lars

Hi Lars, thank you for sharing. 

I have an earlier version of 2.3Alpha1 and it does not have this issue with GL/Moderator. 

[bayden10]

Oh yes another thing to point out, you can run GL as Moderator using iOS (Safari) but not OSX ? That's why I pointed out to Bowser.

Is there a way to configure api-mate to use specific browser agents or hook the Bowser API?

[Phill. Whiteside]

Hi folks,

just a quick heads up that I didn't notice from my updating from 16.04 to 18.04. As well as the nodejs issue, it seems the PUBKEY for mongodb reeds adding in for bionic:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 68818C72E52529D4

After that, mongodb will update happily.

Regards,

Phill.

Hi,

alpha1 2.3 (updated)

I've done a fresh install, but popping the favion.ico into the said area:

cp /root/favicon.ico /var/www/bigbluebutton-default

It is still using the BBB default one.

In amongst many places, just to try and keep me sane it is on the system : https://faircam.net/favicon.ico

Also  you used to have the option to set  /usr/share/meteor/bundle/programs/server/assets/app/config/settings.yml entry to :

clientTitle: Faircam

Neither are being used. The setting the logo on the top, left is working:

Hi,

Thanks to the work done by Mark, we now know that the changes from BBB 2.2 to 2.3 mean that the above customisation is no  longer used. I'm told that it is within a docker container, but GL gives no hints and there are no real notes of using meteor if it has taken over those tasks. 

Sorry to moan, but when we are testing stuff, it would be nice to give a direct comparison between how we edited 2.2 and how we edit 2.3. GreenLight is 2.7.1 

Regards,

Phill.

[bayden10]

Hi,

Have you tried this:

/var/www/bigbluebutton-default/images/favicon.png

~b10

[bayden10]

Oh yes and GL would work here now:

/root/greenlight/app/assets/images/favicon.ico

~b10

[Phill. Whiteside]

Hi....

(16:29:44) phillw: mpmc: /root/greenlight/app/assets/images/favicon.ico
(16:29:56) phillw: I believe we already did that?
(16:30:54) mpmc: phillw: yes, look :p
(16:31:12) phillw: with a GL restart?
(16:31:27) mpmc: Absolutely.

So, that does not work.

Phill.

Ok, just looked at my update script and that's all I have plus the default one you pointed out, works on my end so I looked no further.

[Phill. Whiteside]

Hi, so this is correct??

16:37:52) mpmc: phillw: I saw the mail. they've changed the file name to using a png now.
(16:40:52) phillw: I've replied to ask if that is correct for a favicon - but, try it :)
(16:40:53) mpmc: No no, I'm wrong
(16:41:34) mpmc: phillw: see https://github.com/bigbluebutton/greenlight/blob/master/app/views/layouts/application.html.erb#L50 yet the pull request says .png.
(16:41:37) phillw: favicon.png is not going to be parsed by no browser :P
(16:41:59) phillw: that could explain why it does not work :P

If you'd be so kind as to say what favicon you have and where.

Hi,

Works on all popular browsers as far as I know.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon#HTML5_recommendation_for_icons_in_multiple_sizes

GL you should see this in debug, if not then the docker image may not rendering correctly. Perhaps try rebuilding after removing the image and tail the logs on the container & or image.

https://bbb12.domain.ca/b/assets/favicon-01a187919fd07a81ac57d4ddc90453c46b0bbbb6d6d58a672814cc74dac1d41c.ico

~b10

[bayden10]

Hi,

Not sure if this has anything to do with your FAVicon formatting but I typically use 96x96.ico and I noticed yours is 32x32.ico. Don't know the what is exactly required when GL rebuilds the app as I've not found any documents to support this.

~b10

[Phill. Whiteside]

Hey Phill.

I woke up at 4am, so took a look at bbb/gl again, No luck I'm afraid.
I've wrote a list as to what I've done, I would post it on their google
groups but I don't have permission (yes I've asked to join).

----- COPY AND PASTE -----

I've done the following:-

- Placed the favicon, ico & png in both /root/greenlight/app/assets/ &
/root/greenlight/app/assets/images (these are outside of the docker
container).
- Modified the docker-compose.yml and added the ico (as a volume) to
/usr/src/app/public/assets/favicon.ico. I knew this wasn't going to work
but tried it anyway.
- Deleted and forced removed all docker images (docker rmi --force <id
here>). I did noticed that once I removed the images the debug lines
containing the word 'Writing' (I assume cache) no longer appears when
using `docker-compose up`. Modifying the compose.yml (again) and those
log lines appear?!

Nothing seems to actually make the favicon change (and yes, browser
cache is flushed).

----- COPY AND PASTE -----

Forever screaming...

- Mark

Hi, 

just a quick question, have you reloaded nginx manually since the changes or just run bbb-conf --restart?

You should be able to see where it's loading the favicon from when watching the docker logs.

docker-compose logs -f

This will give the build location when it rebuilds.

~b10.

[Phill. Whiteside]

Hi b10..

Yes, I manually restarted nginx

This conversation would be a lot easier if an admin would approve Mark's re-application and you guyz + galz could get answers back off him.

Hi, on your IRC but no one home... #mpmc

~b10

[Phill. Whiteside]

Hi Bayden and the rest of the gang.

glad to have caught you. Mark can only do short stints for personal reasons. From your conversation it seems that to now change the favicon you have to create a custom version of GreenLight, add in the favicon and compile it. Also, ths would need to be done each time there is an upgrade. 

This is a regression, GreenLight already has the ability to add in a logo and pulls data from the .env area. The steps needed are, from what Mark has found are:

Adding a favicon to Greenlight ~2.7.1

1) Change directory to your Greenlight folder cd ~/greenlight & stop greenlight docker-compose down

2) Create a folder within the same directory as the docker-compose.yml e.g, mkdir ./favicon

3) Copy your favicon to that directory, cp /tmp/favicon.ico ./favicon

4) Open the docker-compose.yml in your favourite text-editor, nano docker-compose.yml

5) Move your text cursor to the end of the volumes section…

    volumes:
      - ./log:/usr/src/app/log
      - ./storage:/usr/src/app/storage
# When using sqlite3 as the database

… and add a new volume to the end of the list..

    volumes:
      - ./log:/usr/src/app/log
      - ./storage:/usr/src/app/storage
      - ./favicon/favicon.ico:/usr/src/app/app/assets/images/favicon.ico
# When using sqlite3 as the database

6) Restart Greenlight. cd ~/greenlight && docker-compose up -d and enjoy.

He did also work out a forced method so that nginx ignores all the 'spurious' favicons and instead uses one, easy to change / update, one. Mark can only work so long on issues for health reasons and he will post up that method  later as a consideration on the simple grounds that it does not require changing each time GL is updated. 

I agree with his comment that the favicon should be able to be set either in the WebGUI of the .env file. Asking people to recompile to a dedicated local version seems a backwards step.

Thoughts please....

Regards,

Phill.

P.S. This is how it used to be done, so you do not lose track..

Hi Phill,

You may also want to change the playback favicon & logo here:

/var/www/bigbluebutton-default/images/favicon.png

/var/bigbluebutton/playback/presentation/2.0/logo.png

~b10

[Phill. Whiteside]

Hi Baydon,

as I mentioned earlier, Mark can only go digging for a finite time. After a bit of break, he returned with this rather elegant proposal...

.... it's a little bit funny.. you don't change the logo by uploading, but by a url. they could've easily added another text box for a favicon url! ....

That is such an elegant answer that it is most likely to have been overlooked? It would then be a function under the admin area. Let's be honest - how often will you change the logo and not need to change the favicon? 

Regards,

Phill.
