SSL error while connecting to my server

[rene]

Hello,

First off thank you devs for this awesome tool!

In my 10 years working with Linux this is my first time I'm actually posting a question on a forum.

I have been running mumble server quite some time now and i love it, works great. But here is where my trouble starts. Recently i upgraded my server to new hardware and did a clean install of Ubuntu server 16.10 (couldn't use 16.04 LTS due to a very new processor).

So i did a clean install of mumble-server, all went fine but I can't connect to it and I've been pulling my hair out trying to find out why.

Running mumble server version: murmurd -- 1.2.18-1~ppa1~yakkety1

Output of murmurd:

Trying to connect to it using a android phone for instance also fails. "connection refused"

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Okay, I've been digging deeper to find out what is happening and it seems related to my motherboard.

What i did was: (I did this with both the server and desktop version)

- Clean install of ubuntu 16.10 as virtual machine in virtualbox, installed mumble-server, works fine.

- Took my server offline and grabbed a spare hdd and did a clean install of ubuntu 16.10 using the new motherboard, installed mumble-server, doesn't work, same exact error as in my original post.

I ran exactly the same commands on all of these clean installs:

apt-get update

apt-get install ssh

apt-get install mumble-server

I tried this with both ubuntu server and ubuntu desktop and the results are the same and consistent. As i suspected it has something to to with my motherboard (Asrock J3455-ITX) with an Intel quad core J3455. This processor is only supported in the newest kernel 4.8 but maybe there is still a bug there.

Problem now is I have no more information as I gave in the first post. Seems that some action is failing but I have no idea what action and what that action is doing and what that action needs.

At least i know now I didn't screw something up on my server, wasn't looking forward to reconfigure everything again. :D

Did you change the Mumble server configuration?

Do you register a dbus script?

Try disabling dbus in the server configuration.

Are you using your own cert? Maybe it’s broken?

See also https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/1799, potentially an openssl issue - which version of Mumble server and OpenSSL is that?

The client code line in question: MainWindow.cpp#L2962. No ServerHandler QSslError (no SSL error that Qt handles on QSocket as a signal sslErrors), no SSL version mismatch.

No, clean install, see my mumble-server.ini

# Murmur configuration file.
#
# General notes:
# * Settings in this file are default settings and many of them can be overridden
#   with virtual server specific configuration via the Ice or DBus interface.
# * Due to the way this configuration file is read some rules have to be
#   followed when specifying variable values (as in variable = value):
#     * Make sure to quote the value when using commas in strings or passwords.
#        NOT variable = super,secret BUT variable = "super,secret"

Do you register a dbus script?

Not to my knowledge, those tests where clean installs of Ubuntu with only the commands executed in my previous post.

 

Try disabling dbus in the server configuration.

As far as i can tell from the mumble-server.ini it is already disabled right?

 

Are you using your own cert? Maybe it’s broken?

No clean install of Ubuntu and mumble-server

 

See also https://github.com/openssl/openssl/issues/1799, potentially an openssl issue - which version of Mumble server and OpenSSL is that?

As far as I understand that post it looks like that bug was introduced in openssl version 1.1.0

I checked and my Ubuntu server is running openssl version 1.0.2g so I shouldn't be effected by that. But just to be thorough I removed the packaged openssl and build the latest stable version 1.1.0e which for sure has that bug fix and unfortunately no difference, still the same error.

 

The client code line in question: MainWindow.cpp#L2962. No ServerHandler QSslError (no SSL error that Qt handles on QSocket as a signal sslErrors), no SSL version mismatch.

I'll need more time to do something with that, maybe build it myself and add some debugging?

I also saw that a new version of Ubuntu came out, so i upgraded from 16.10 kernel 4.8 to 17.04 kernel 4.10 hoping maybe something was fixed but sadly that also didn't make a difference. Not giving up yet.

Good news, it works.

No idea what changed, but yesterday a did a dist-upgrade and a reboot. Reinstalled mumble-server just to try it again (as I have done with pretty much every update), and what do you know, it bloody works!
