freeipa web ui -- incorrect configuration for awesome fonts

[gianluca]

Hi, another bug for FreeIPA, but this is quite trivial and not very important either. The file /usr/share/ipa/ipa.conf.template containw the line

Alias /ipa/ui/fonts/fontawesome "${FONTS_DIR}/fontawesome"

for providing the Awesome font to web browsers. $FONTS_DIR si correctly replaced with /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ when the template is copied into the Apache configuration directory, but the name of the directory (fontawesome) is wrong in Ubuntu, since the font is actually installed into /usr/share/fonts/truetype/font-awesome/ (with the minus sign). As a result, the web ui is full of unrecognized UTF-8 glyphs.

hah, fixed in git

I tried installing with 4.7.0.pre2, but I get an exception

KeyError: 'FONT_AWESOME_DIR'

I think you should add

FONT_AWESOME_DIR=paths.FONT_AWESOME_DIR

in the create_instance function in httpinstance.py

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

oh man.. fixed in ~ppa2

[gianluca (amato)]

I confirm that it works!

[William (eshagh)]

I had to add the same line (FONT_AWESOME_DIR=paths.FONT_AWESOME_DIR) to /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ipaserver/install/server/upgrade.py after line 1775 to overcome the FONT_AWESOE_DIR keyerror an upgrade.

I confirm that FONT_AWESOME_DIR=paths.FONT_AWESOME_DIR should be added to /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ipaserver/install/server/upgrade.py for upgrading to work. Is it better to add a different bug report?

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

I've pushed an update to cosmic which fixes this (4.7.1-2ubuntu1), hope it still makes it in the release (should)

[Andreas Ntaflos (daff)]

Is this fix going to make it into bionic?

[Karoly Czovek (kczovek)]

Still an issue (on bionic)

[sandmouse (sandmouse)]

A year later: this is still an issue on bionic.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

and likely remains that way, it's not the only bug there.. but feel free to try this:
