How to fix login sessions error in mediawiki?

I have a mediawiki server running for few years. Suddenly for past 3 days, it gave the some error on logging in and prevented any users to login.

The error message is as below :

There seems to be a problem with your login session; this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking. Go back to the previous page, reload that page and then try again.

To fix this, I tried the below things.

create a folder tmp in /var/www/html/wiki and gave 777 permission to tmp folder.

Added below items in LocalSettings.php

session_save_path(“tmp”);

$wgMainCacheType = CACHE_ANYTHING;
$wgSessionCacheType = CACHE_DB;

adding these entries does not fix the issue.

Wanted to check what is happening on mediawiki side and enabled debug log file.

created the file debug.log, changed ownership to www-data

touch /var/www/html/wiki/debug.log
chown www-data /var/www/html/wiki/debug.log

added the below entry in LocalSettings.php

$wgDebugLogFile = “/var/www/html/wiki/debug.log”;

This gave interesting error messages, in the debug.log file.

[SQLBagOStuff] DBError: A database query error has occurred. Did you forget to run your application’s database schema updater after upgrading?
Query: SELECT keyname,value,exptime FROM `objectcache` WHERE keyname = ‘wikidb:MWSession:o6322v94oim3dvp358ma09f7alat8a10’
Function: SqlBagOStuff::getMulti
Error: 145 Table ‘./wikidb/objectcache’ is marked as crashed and should be repaired (localhost)

It seems some issues with the objectcache table. We have to repair it.

Took a backup of all tables except objectcache table.

mysqldump -u root wikidb –ignore-table=wikidb.objectcache > database.sql

Repaired with the below commands.

mysql -u username -p password

mysql> use wikidb
Database changed

mysql> REPAIR TABLE objectcache;
+———————–+——–+———-+———————————————————————————+
| Table | Op | Msg_type | Msg_text |
+———————–+——–+———-+———————————————————————————+
| wikidb.objectcache | repair | info | Wrong bytesec: 194-187- 44 at 83552960; Skipped |

| wikidb.objectcache | repair | status | OK |

This command fixed the table and login issue was gone.

Thanks for the wonderful mediawiki community to provide awesome software and solutions on issues.

Created my first snap package for Ubuntu – deskew

Creating a snap package for a command line binary seems so easy.

Today, I Built a snap for "deskew" package.

About deskew :
Deskew is a tool for deskewing scanned text documents. Deskewing is a
term used for fixing the scans to get the lines of text straight. That
means rotating the image of the scanned page a little to compensate
for the misalignment of the paper in the scanner.

Read more at
https://galfar.vevb.net/wp/projects/deskew/

followed this tutorial for snap.
https://snapcraft.io/docs/t/pre-built-apps/6739

created a snap for deskew command line tool.

it can be installed via
sudo snap install –channel=edge deskew –devmode

will add deskew gui soon.

here is the repo for the snapcraft.yaml

Thanks Ubuntu for the nice SnapCraft system.

PyCon India 2019 – few notes

This is year PyCon India 2019 was hosted by ChennaiPy community in Chennai. This is my first Python conference.

As they have conducted “PySangamam” event last year, they got good expertise on running a conference.  It is not easy. It requires one year of planning and huge team of volunteers. Most of the time, all these great things are driven by very few volunteers.

Tons of thanks for all the ChennaiPy team for the great event.

It was a two-day event. But, I attended for the first day only. We had an ebook making event on the next day.

 

Fanboy moment 🙂

with Prabu Ramachandran, Founder of Indian Linux Users Group, Chennai  – ilugc.in

On the very first moment at the registration desk, I found Dr. Prabu Ramachandran, from IIT Bombay. He is the founder of my alma mater, Indian Linux Users Group, Chennai. He was so happy to hear that the group is still active and monthly meetings are going regularly. Tons of thanks for your great initiatives sir. With ILUGC only, we are reaching gaining more knowledge and getting more longtime friends.

Prabu, Gopi, Shrini, Mohan  – ilugc friends

As this is multi track conference, I choose the below talks and listened them.

1. Python Packaging – where we are and where we’re headed – Pradyun Gedam

2. Rest in peace REST. The rise of GraphQL – Abhishek Mishra

3. Ragabot – Music Encoded – Vikrant Patil

Conferences are like Indian Marriages. We get to see all the friends there, but very little time to spend with them.

I saw many friends from ilugc, chennaipy, VillupuramGlug, KDE, PyDelhi, DelhiLug, DGPLug etc. Met few old colleagues from CollabNet.

Poster Presentation

Our poster on Kaniyam Foundation – Shrini & Khaleel

Apart from the regular talks, there were many poster presentations. Registered teams can show a poster and explain their works, about their communities, their contributions etc. I and Khaleel had a poster on “Kaniyam Foundation” – Our one-year-old kid for Tamil Computing activities.

 

Poster on Kaniyam Foundation

We got much appreciation from the visitor and few shown interest to volunteer.

The other posters were impressive. It is a very good moment to see all the passionate free software contributors to see in a single place.

For the first time, I saw the “KDE India team“. There were 5 young kde contributors showing KDE, Krita, Plasma Mobile, Kde Connect and other KDE features. I am a KDE user for around 10 years, I felt like meeting family friends. I spent much time in the stall. Thanks KDE team. I am so happy to meet you all.

KDE Stall

 

Villupuram GLUG stall is the only stall from a rural place. Good to see their efforts on taking free software to the tier-3 towns and villages. We need more and more GNU/Linux users groups all over the country as they are the mother for all the free software communities and contributions,

Sathish on VillupuramGLUG stalls

There was a circuit python stall, which displayed many electronic toys made with python.

Circuit Python

Wondered to see an electronic ID card called PyBadge. I may buy it soon. ( Can it show Tamil? )

Happy to see a college kid from SRM, Abhilash, showing his efforts on OCR for Bangla language.

OCR for Bangla language

 

There were two silent conference tracks. Yes. they are really silent. You can hear only through the headphones provided. This is an intelligent idea to share the same big hall to two conference tracks.

Silent Conference Talk – Pic by Shiny Parashar

From the day one of planning, the conference team were excellent at every actions. From updating the attendees over mail setting up a zulipchat for the participants, Setting up Play areas for Kids, silent rooms for mothers and more.

Thanks for all the volunteers behind this great event. I dont have words to thank Vijaykumar. With his tireless efforts and enthusiasm on Python and Free Software, we are witnessing great events in chennai.

Releasing Nationalized books as Ebooks

Tamil Virtual Academy has released around 2000 Nationalized Books as PDF files in Public Domain license. Tamil Wikisource volunteers have OCRed them and proofreading them to fix the spell errors. This task is seeking huge amount of manual effort and time. It may take few decades to proofread all these 2000 books.

As Thamizhmann Publications is publishing these public domain books as print books, we discussed with them, to ask if they have these books in unicode format. For our surprise, they have all these books in unicode format as MS Word Documents.

We explained our works at FreeTamilEbooks.com, Kaniyam.com and ta.wikisource.org proof read works. They wondered and wished for our contributions.

They agreed to give all these 1000s of books (more than 2 lakh pages) in unicode word format,for Kaniyam Foundation to release as Free Ebooks. Once they are released, we will get all the Tamil Scholars complete works for free.

We agreed compensate with some money for their great works for 30 years and giving all the 1000s of books as unicode word documents.

We said that we can give Rs 5 Lakh. 5,00,000 INR. If we calculate, it comes as 2.5 Rs/Page.

After we received the books, we will add cover images. Then, will publish in http://ta.wikisource.org and http://FreeTamilEbooks as epub, mobi, A4 PDF, 6 inch PDF formats so that anyone can read in any device.

A Happy News

University of Toronto Scarborough, Canada donated all the price for all the ebooks, including taxes. We have to make the ebooks as epub, mobi, PDF, HTML, txt, odt formats with cover images as soon as possible.

We are currently working on splitting the MS word documents, provided by Thamizhmann Publishers, as individual documents for ebook making.

Call for Donations

All the 1000 ebooks are great assets for Tamil Language. Releasing them as good quality ebooks is a high energy demanding work.

We are working on automating most of the works, recruiting team, training them, making training documents and videos for them, MoU between Kaniyam and UTSC, etc.

As there will be 3-4 full time employees for this project, there will be lot of expenses. Help us with your Donations.

Happy to see linux at courts

I came to Madurai district court.

Happy to see the judges and other officers are using computers loaded with GNU/Linux.

I see a Debian wallpaper on the screen. Hope they have Debian.

Reading that all indian courts use linux only.

Happy to see the changes.
