Elog version ELOG V3.1.5-30ada1df 

Running on a Rehdat 8 enterprise server

compiled with a Makefile change :: change -Wno-unused-result to -Wno-unused-value

Wondering if anyone has been seeing this?

_{We have since discovered that the security team is scanning the box in question once a week when the service crashes, with nexpose.}

_{So if you see something similar then you might want to explore that.}

Probably some very strange URL form nexpose to trigger a potential buffer overflow. If I get the precise URL which crashes elogd, I can reproduce and fix it.

Otherwise my usual advice: Run elogd behind an Apache proxy and do the authentication there. This way nexpose does not get to elogd, it will stop at the Apache (without the proper credentials).

Hi all,

I'm experiencing an issue on Kubuntu 24.04 where the WYSIWYG editor (in HTML mode) doesn't appear at all. This happens across multiple browsers (tested with Firefox and Chromium). The editor area is simply blank, without any visible toolbar or editable content area.

Has anyone encountered this on Kubuntu or found a workaround? Any tips would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Pawel

Hi Pawel, I *think* we (you) need the 'ckeditor' program installed on your system for it to work. I am

Hi John,

Thanks for the message! I’ve downloaded CKEditor version 4.22, since newer versions are no longer fully open source and come with restrictive licensing.  I now have the full CKEditor 4.22 package locally, but I’m not quite sure what the next step is. Should I place it somewhere specific in the ELOG directory structure or modify one of the templates to enable it? Any pointers on how to connect it properly to ELOG would be very helpful.

Best regards,
Pawel

I have an attribute formatted as a date (but not labeled as date) and is sorted as second priority. The sort works fine until I enter a date older than Jan 1st 2002. When I do this it is sorted as the latest. Is this a bug or simply not designed to use dates this old?

Thanks in advance,

Chris
