[Server-devel] ds-backup.sh on desktop hardware

2010-01-28 Thread Dave Bauer
It looks like line 113 does not work it gets in error when you do not have
any battery and
the command

hal-get-property --udi $B_HAL --key battery.charge_level.percentage

returns instead of a numeric value, the help for hal-get-property.

I think we need a check for $B_HAL being empty here.

  Similarly, Reuben, I need more info on what hw the OLPCCorps crowd is

  And anyone else that's running an XS (hi Hamilton!)... we need your hw

 Related, what is the in-the-field useful footprint for running an XS
 VM as per Hamilton's configuration?

 -walter


Here is what the VM sees

2GB RAM It has about 240mb free.
 beam is running around 300mb.
gadget is running around 500mb

Little load on the CPU right now.
It is assigned 1CPU up to 2Ghz

ejabberd has
7247 registered users
19 online users. This is close to the average i have seen between 20-30
since we started running it.

 I'm not sure if the filename doesn't play a role on the Mac.

 x-application/squeak-project?


 Try application/x-squeak-project not x-application/...

 It used to work on 802. And it does work in F11_XO1.5/Sugar 0.84 - I just
 tried. Just go to Squeakland.org and click the project thumbnail next to
 Jeopardy 3point0 which is the current project of the week.


 Ok, good news! That opens in the etoys plugin in my browser so I will try
 to change the mime type and test again. Thanks

 Dave


 Ah well, the plugin embedding code (on Mac/Win/non-sugar Linux) provides
 its own mime type, so this does not really mean it will work in Sugar, where
 you do not have (nor need) the plugin.





OK, I fixed this by adding

'pr' = array ('type'='application/x-squeak-project','icon'='video.gif'),

to lib/filelib.php in moodle. Looks like our version of XS did not support
this mime type for forum uploads in moodle. This should be an XS 0.6
install.

Thanks!

Re: Sugar on the Asus Eee 701

 Copy of my blog post on the experience of installing Sugar on Asus Eee 701

 Sugar on the Eee

 I wanted to put Sugar on an Asus Eee 701 for my niece. Thanks to Trademe I
 could pick one up at a reasonable price.  For those that know me well, yes I
 had some help with setting up Sugar and yes I had some help with writing
 this post.

 SOAS Strawberry runs well on the Eee, but you can't really install it. There
 are various guides, which basically consist of


First, the most interesting and handy thing about a netbook, is the
ease of booting off removeable media. Many of my friends use SD cards
to try out different OS.

That said, you can do a full install from SOAS using the
zyx-liveinstaller. You can download it
http://filteredperception.org/smiley/projects/zyx-liveinstaller/ and
install it with rpm and then run it. It will install to any disk,
either the built in SSD or a removable USB or SD card.

This is just one option, of course.

Dave

 Install anaconda
 Run liveinst
 Fight with partitioning (hint, don't choose automatic, choose custom, delete
 everything and make an ext3 partition)
 Fix the resulting broken redhat installation with no graphical interface by
 installing the entire KDE stack and messing with inittab (note, you'll need
 a wired ethernet connection, or epic iwconfig fu)
 Install sugar

 The first work around was just to dd the SOAS usb image directly onto the
 Eee's drive. This was good, the Eee boots quickly and starts sugar by
 default, however our USB image was only 1GB so we couldn't use the rest of
 the disk, and the journal complained that it was full, even when it wasn't.
 I think the journal problem was probably to do with the tricks the live
 image performs to boot of read only media, since we did a byte-for-byte copy
 of the live image, these are all still present when booting from the Eee's
 drive.

 I'm told a future version of SOAS may support installation to the hard disk.

 The current solution is the Ubuntu Netbook Remix and Sugar from alsroot's
 PPA. I used the Karmic Koala Beta and updated to the latest packages. This
 wasn't entirely plain sailing, Sugar's web browse activity didn't work until
 I did apt-get build-dep python-hulahop, see this bug. This has made the Eee
 a really nice platform, you can alt tab between Sugar and your other apps
 but not the netbook remix menu thing, so you can't start new non-sugar apps
 without quitting Sugar. The only real problem is the Eee 701's low res
 screen - not all activities are designed to shrink this far, Scratch being
 the most missed example as it is my nieces favourite.

 The things you do (or your helper does) to please a nine year old. Big
 thanks to said helper for giving up about 10 hours more than I thought we
 needed.

 Sharing the experience, I hope that this helps the developers see where the
 issues were and that next time I try this (I have another Eee ready) that it
 is easy to see improvements - I can wait a while ;-)

Probably uses broadcom drivers. Do lspci and check.

Best bet is to do lspci and find out what chipset you have and see

Since you can run XS on an XO it should work fine. A little faster.
You'll need an external hard drive to store the user data and backups.

 Why was it failing? What was $XS_FQDN?

It was concatenating 'schoolserver' . $XS_FQDN where our XS is not

 Your report is a bit confusing so I will

  - you had no problems connecting 8 users to a vanilla XS running some
 0.6d, right?
  - but later on jabber.s.o you had problems with 29 users...

 Is that correct?

 What sw is jabber.s.o running? Does it deviate in any way from a
 recent XS 0.6? Could network problems explain part of the problem?


 jabber.sl.o is XS 0.5.2 stock install. It has 2GB of ram. Both xsdev and

Note, I was able to simply and easily install gadget on the XS 0.6 install
so it was ALSO using gadget, and I am not sure how this might affect the
performance.

Re: [Server-devel] /library partition

2009-07-16 Thread Dave Bauer
I am not sure if there is any documentation:

It has
pgsql-xs the postgresql database for Moodle
users which I think are home directories for the registered XOs which
will contain their backups.
xs-activation, hopefully martin will explain that
xs-activity-server which I assume allows you to run a server to
distribute activities, and the content goes there.
xs-rsync I am not sure what this is.

I believe the overall idea is that anything that is content goes in
this directory as opposed to software or parts of the operating
system.

 We will be at the GPA tomorrow and we'll have time to test after class,

 So far all I have planned is to try getting rid of the jabber key on the
 master and try cloning some new sticks.

 We will also enable debugging following Dave's suggestion:

 To do that I edit ~/.Xclients to include this

  if [ -f ~/.sugar/debug ]; then
         . ~/.sugar/debug
  fi

 before  eval \\\$(dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session)

 Then we need to edit ~/.sugar/debug to fix a couple of typos:


 Missing space between exportGABBLE_LOGFILE
 and exportSALUTLOGFILE.

 It should be
 export GABBLE_LOGFILE...
 export SALUT_LOGFILE

 Are there any other suggestions?

 We got a hint from collabora that we should check the keepalive setting.
 Does anyone know what that is or how we could change it?

 There seems to be a separate bug that keeps local collaboration from
 working.  Does anyone have any thoughts of what it might be or how to get
 more information?

The debugging settings will also enabled logs for local collaboration,
so hopefully that will give us the information we need. In fact it
might also be related to the duplicated keys, but I don't know enough
about the internals to say for sure.

 That is a workaround to the missing register button in SoaS, right?

 no, we are still just trying to get the machines in the lab to see the
 Jabber Server in the lab via the server setting in the control panel.

 I think some of your comments below may still be relevant but I don't
 entirely understand.


 I suspect that part of the problem is that you are using the IP
 address. Sugar will see whatever DNS or IP addr you provide there and
 will try to connect to jabber and create an account as follows:

  - machine-id@jabberservername

 On XO hardware, machine-id is the serialnumber. On other hw, it
 creates a random string on first boot.

 The problem with the scheme is that jabber on the XS expects a very
 specific jabber servername for the account: its own name (as given to
 domain_config) prefixed with 'schoolserver.'

OK, we can workaround this two ways,

Use schoolserver as the jabber server name in the settings then
1) set the IP in /etc/hosts as a quick hack to make sure things work
2) set up the SoaS to use the built in DNS on the XS.

Using the DNS seems problematic, probably due to my lack on knowledge.
If we do that we need to defer to the network DNS for everything
except the schoolserver hostname. If kids take the stick home, what
happens with the DNS if we put the XS into resolv.conf? The SoaS is
not getting DHCP from the schoolserver due to the setup where the XS
is just inserting into the same LAN as the clients.

Dave


 If the name doesn't match that format, then it breaks.

 The workaround is to use schoolserver.mydomain in the SoaS control
 panel. A more proper solution is probably to bring back 'registration'
 :-)

Re: [Server-devel] Gadget on XS

2009-07-06 Thread Dave Bauer
Here is what I have so far:

XS 0.6

Install frm kickstart
Edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0-local for static IP
run /etc/sysconfig/olpc-scripts/domain_config

Make sure ejabberd is configured correctly

Edit /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.cfg

Restart
ejabberdctl --node ejabb...@schoolserver start

Gadget

Get RPM
http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/gadget/0.0.3/2.fc9/noarch/gadget-0.0.3-2.fc9.noarch.rpm
More Info: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=95961

yum install python-twisted
rpm -i gadget-0.0.3-2.fc9.noarch.rpm

Edit ejabberd.cfg to support gadget

Hostname is gadget.full hostname ie
gadget.schoolserver.xsdev.solutiongrove.com


It looks like its not using gadget but local collaboration. I turned off the
shared roster and shutdown ejabberd and I think it might be using local
collaboration instead of the server.

I need more debugging.

 The question is, IMO: what does gadget do better? The best I
 understand is that when there are many XOs it can show a random subset
 in your network view. That is all that is _implemented_ at the moment.
 It may show promise but what we have is this.

 And I don't find a random subset very compelling. The patches I've
 done for ejabberd + moodle make a lot more sense, IMHO. And scale a
 ton more because Moodle feeds a bit of data to ejabberd and gets the
 hell out of the way. It's not clear to me how ejabberd+Gadget
 (erlang+python) scale in terms of memory, resource contention and CPU.

 Frankly, I'd love to get rid of my ejabberd patches. Right now, I'm
 doubtful that Gadget will satisfy the Sugar team's expectations.

 Unless Gadget has moved forward considerable in the last 3 months, or
 if it's generally just more advanced than I think it is.


It is my understanding it somehow uses less network resources, but I don't
have that much information.

For my specific application, I will be using the Moodle/ejabberd
combination, but as someone asked, I figured I would try it out and see if
gadget worked. I can at least report I was able to configure it

As noone is working on gadget right now, and I don't have any information on
how it works or where one would go to get that information, or how to use it
to improve collaboration, I can't do much with it.

 The XS can now handle antitheft services. One of the things I added is
 the ability to generate a leases.sig with short-lived leases for all
 the (non-stolen) machines in the school.

 In the normal course of operation, the XOs will work with the XS over
 wireless, getting their individual leases. This is a fallback rescue
 leases.sig .

 As you can see in my other email, the problem is compounded with the
 Journal messing up rename :-/

 We need a file manager IMHO.


What would the file manager be for? Who is downloading this file, how often
and what do they need to do with it? It is easy enough to download it from
the Terminal for a technical user.

 You are right, and a lot of my pre-OLPC work has been in making the
 largest of those installations work smoothly in scale, security,
 performance, customisations... In those cases, Moodle is a webapp.

 In this case, however. Moodle is the central UI for most things XS.
 Some things XS change how the XS behave.

 For example, I am drafting a bit of code that will let you configue
 eth0 and 'domain_config' from a Moodle-based UI. So on first boot, the
 XS comes up in a special mode that lets you set those 2 things.

 Once this work is done, you no longer need to login as root. Ever.


Cool, maybe a switch to turn this off would be useful for those who are
running a different configuration.

Dave


 On the other hand, it'd be serious trouble if Moodle started listening
 on the public address. Right now Moodle seems to be reasonably meek...
 but I haven't thought that through actually, it may have risks too.

 The bottom line is:

   Services that are on the LAN address have not been
   designed to be on the WAN address -- many (most?)
   of them are a security risk if exposed to the WAN
   today. As the XS evolves, _more_ services will pose
   a risk if exposed to the WAN.

 So -- put your test/dev machines on the LAN to play with things. The
 XS will hand out DHCP leases to non-XOs, you can create normal user
 accounts in Moodle (from the 'course creator'-blessed XO) so that
 things work. Using non-Sugar XMPP clients (mostly) works too if you're
 on the LAN.

 Hmmm. I haven't tested an upgrade. I usually

  - develop/test updating via yum  rpm
  - when getting ready to release, first test clean install, then test
 upgrades

 It all depends on how adventurous you are. And how good your backups
 are. At this stage, I'm pretty sure something will break, and you'll
 want the backup at least to diagnose what changed (and later, rollback
 and retest).

 cheers,


Thanks.

For now I think setting up a seperate install to try out 0.6 is the best
bet, and when its closer to ready, we can make a backup and test the
upgrade.

 Correct. Once your 'new' machine has been aliased to the old account,
 you restart Browse and you're in your old account.

 Nothing to do with usernames :-) it's down to the serial number of the
 machine.

  I'll see if I can track this down, I am not sure where it gets the cookie

 The aliasing is fairly high level.  In the 'login to moodle'
 process, moodle checks whether your SN is aliased to any other
 account. If so, it logs you into that _other_ acct instead.


Yes, for some reason it was asking for the password. I had the soas
nickname not matching on the old/new registrations. I rergistered with the
same nickname and then followed the procedure exactly and I was logged in
automatically.

I was getting  a 503 error from the backup-available.py.
This was the result of /library/ being full.

Is there an easy way to expand this? It looks like its LVM. I can create a

default is pretty small.

Thank you everyone! I have browse 102 on my XO and it automagically logs

Now I am ready to actually make things work.

 No prob. You want Browse-101 or newer, that's all.

 I searched and found a link to browse-101

 I looked at these directories in the XS and I could not a find a store

Actually I think this happens, from my reading of the code, when there
haven't been any backups yet. You need to make sure the backup process has
run on the client side first.

Hello,

I would like to try out testing backup and restore on SoaS but I can't
seem to find the scripts or folders mentioned at

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_Blueprints:Datastore_Simple_Backup_and_Restore


Are the backup scripts included in the SoaS build ?
If they're not, any reason why we can't include them ?

Thanks,

 Grab them from the same place where you found the ejabberd pkg ;-) --
 you're looking for ds-backup-client.


Hmmm, I got the ejabberd from olpcxs-testing repository. I don't see
ds-backup-client there. I guess I am looking in the wrong place.

Dave


 Note that you'll need to get in motion to teach SoaS about registering
 to the School Server, something that Sugar knows how to do, or used to
 know..

 Give the scripts a read so you'll see how they work, and what bits of
 Sugar we need (somehow, sugar profile needs to know about a backup
 server, etc).

 cheers,

Tried this based on the documentation you added

server_host = 'localhost'
server_port = 5560
domain = 'sugarlabs.org'
password = 'X'
roster_path = 'gadget.roster'

  {5560, ejabberd_service, [
  {ip, {127, 0, 0, 1}},
  {access, all},
  {host, gadget.localhost, [{password, X}]}]}


Same result in the gadget log. Restarted ejabbderd and gadget services.

[Server-devel] 100 user test on XS

2009-04-08 Thread Dave Bauer
I tested ejabberd from XS 0.5.2 with 100 concurrent users using
hyperactivity. This is just using shared-roster.

Memory usage was totaly under 1G with no swapping. It got a little slow on
the client side running the hyperactivity code. The neighborhood view was
pretty crowded but everything seemed to work well.

This was a very basic test, but overall seems to be promising news.

It should be but I don't know what command ot use to check that. I'll find

No its not registered. I am using jabber.sugarlabs.org (aka

They are not registered.

- ejabberdctl (the cli utility) can tell you what users are connected

Yes I can see they are connected.


- in /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd-xs.conf - change the logging setting

Of course, I'll try that, thanks.

[Server-devel] Duplicate IP Address

2009-04-06 Thread Dave Bauer
I am having issues testing two soas1 virtual machines running on the same
box.
They got through NAT cable modem so they end up on the same ip address.

The second VM can see the first in the neighborhood, but the first doesn't
see the second one.

I am wondering if this might have to do with the IP address sharing or where
else I should look.

Actually gadget is not working b/c I haven't found how to start it yet! (I

  Does anyoe have any advice on getting gadget working?

 Basically you have to install the gadget service, launch it (it's a
 separated process), modify your ejabberd.cfg as explained in the Gadget
 README and then restart your ejabberd.

 You can see if Gadget is working by looking at the XMPP traffic
 exchanged between clients and the server.

  Basically you have to install the gadget service, launch it
  (it's a
  separated process), modify your ejabberd.cfg as explained in
  the Gadget
  README and then restart your ejabberd.
 
  You can see if Gadget is working by looking at the XMPP

  exchanged between clients and the server.

 Did you properly configured ejabberd as explained in Gadget's README?
 You should have something like that:

  {5560, ejabberd_service, [
  {ip, {127, 0, 0, 1}},
  {access, all},
  {host, gadget.jabber.sugarlabs.org, [{password, }]}]},

 Your gadget.config should match these params.

AHA! gadget.config.

Can we add the startup and gadget.config to the README?
Thanks
Dave



 Then don't forget to restart ejabberd to reload the new configuration.

 What version of the XS have you got?

 If you are running 0.5.2, you should have
 ejabberd-xs-2.0.3-2.fc9.olpc.i386 . The problem is that the
 ejabberd-xs package should say it 'provides:ejabberd' but it doesn't.
 That's a bug on my side.

  Does anyoe have any advice on getting gadget working?

 Options
  - Lie to rpm about the dependency (for now) while I fix the ejabberd-xs
 pkg...?


Ah I see, yeah I can try this and let you know. Conceivable gadget can
coexist with the Moodle/Ejabberd integration you are working on.

We are also contemplating using this as a public collaboration server, so we
are not following the XS recommendations completely.

Dave



  - Replace ejabberd-xs with a vanilla fedora ejabberd that is at least
 2.0.3

 If you post about your adventures with Gadget, I'll sure be following
 your notes. As most people know, I am a bit hesitant about whether
 Gadget is the right thing for the XS.

 cheers,

Thanks Mitch,

Actually that report is with the check button held down.

 If that fixes the problem, the issues is that the OS is not switching from
 pretty boot mode to active screen mode.

 You can disable pretty-boot by adding these lines to /boot/olpc.fth :

  unfreeze visible

 The second line, just after the comment line, is a good place for them.

Re: [Server-devel] notes on scaling ejabberd for the XO's

2009-03-17 Thread Dave Bauer

  So what does gadget do? Is there a new client side UI for electing
  groups? Who chooses, the kids or the teachers? etc.

 Gadget:
 * Shows people you have explicitly friended (which is trivial, that's
 just a conventional non-shared roster)
 * Shows you some random people on the server so you can bootstrap your
 friends
 * Has a search API so you can search for specific nicks (I don't know
 if this is implemented client-side yet.)


Martin, will this peacefully coexist with the Moodle/ejabberd work you are
doing?

 Fantastic! One interesting data point would be whether the new
 software stack (sugar with the new telepathy-gadget) is backwards
 compat with an XS that has no gadget.


Preliminary tests show it works fine. We have been testing SoaS against XS
0.5.2 and it performs the same as jabber.sugarlabs.org (which I believe has
gadget installed).

 It's unfortunately broken. If you're familiar with moodle, you can

So what is my best bet for now? Try to fix it? Wait for 0.6? If I get it

It seems this is all built from a Fedora install and moodle should be able

 And maybe remove some of the obstacles in future releases (a disk

 Btw, if I had to do it again I'd start with an image that already has the

updates and when I did it downloaded all the G1G1 activities.

This works on my AMD linux box without changing the kernel. I'll try to the
modifications later and see if I can get it working on my Macbook also.
