Hello,
I have installed gerrit-2.4 on Ubuntu 12.04LTS following the
instructions at http://gerrit.googlecode.com/svn/documentation/2.2.1/install.html.
I use postgresql as database and LDAP for authentification. For java I
use openjdk-6. The installation seem to work, but whenever I try to
log into the system I get the warning: Session cookie not available.
What does this mean? Is there any way to get rid of this message?
Regards,
Patrick

Technically, it means that the HTTP request sent from your web browser didn't

contain the "GerritAccount" cookie.

Can you verify that your browser receives the GerritAccount cookie
and that it also sends it back to Gerrit?
You could use Firefox with Firebug plugin to check the sent/received cookies.

Hi Sasa,
we need to be careful as this regression was there since 2.3 and the Mylyn/Gerrit plug-in makes the assumption on this bug :-(
(do you know anybody in that project as well ? They are from TaskTop)
Apart from the noisy warning message on the UI, there are no side-effects so far.

Hmm.. do we have a proof that this is a bug in Gerrit 2.4?

We upgraded our internal Gerrit server to 2.4 and no one of our users
reported this issue.
I also can't reproduce it in my test environment.
If it also happens on your system please check the cookies sent
between Gerrit and your web browser.
Look for the "GerritAccount" cookie.

Sorry for my previous answer, I was blind for this message in the Sign

In dialog.
I was under assumption that this is something that prevents sign-in.
Basically, this is only a message telling that the session cookie is missing
which means you have to sign in again. It might sound too technical but there
is nothing wrong.

Yep, no technical issues ... just annoying message in the login box :-(

If it's harmless and we're already *on* the login screen, we should

just not show the message at all. I've had more than one user ask
me if something's wrong, to which I've said "No, just ignore that."

loop with the sign-in process. It was only supposed to display if the
server suspected it set the GerritAccount cookie and redirected the
user, but on redirect the cookie wasn't there anymore. E.g. because
the browser ate the cookie.
