Re: [Server-devel] [XSCE] [Off Topic] More Linux users facing skype issues

[tkkang]

I have been testing the Ventrilo server on my XO1.5 XSCE and it works well. 
With connection from AP to schoolserver via my Android phone and window 
machines I can have voice conversation. There is no Ventrilo client for Linux. 
Have not been able to run the alternative Mumble client on the XO. 

Nice if XO can then be used for the voice communication as it will get 8 
children/teachers highly excited.

Cheers

Re: [Server-devel] [XSCE] [Off Topic] More Linux users facing skype issues

[tkkang]

Have seen my son use this and host his chat session with teammates in game play 
10 years ago. It has been around for long time and works well for him.

http://www.ventrilo.com/download.php

Nice if it can run on Sugar or can be a XSCE addon!

Also bigbluebutton is an opensource videoconferencing system.

Re: [Server-devel] [XSCE] XSCE usage analysis: Malaysia Deployment

[tkkang]

Below is what we found on the XSCE on followup 7 weeks later in the wild.

Hope that will help in future installations...

--
Dear T. K.,

Here's a detailed explanation of what happened that day.

We found that the /library/cache/swap.state is sized 47G, which occupies the 
whole partition of /.  I know by default during the installation the fedora 
will part the whole harddisk into two parts, for root (/) 50G, and for /home 
the remaining.  However, in XSCE's setting, the main content is put into 
/library which belongs to / partition.

The reason why swap.state is so large is unknow. However, we removed the file 
and restart the squid service, it becomes normal now.

To prevent future event from happening, we also _bind_ mount the /library/cache 
to home directory.

Best regards,
Weida

Subject: [Server-devel] mesh potato

Hi,

There was discussion of this at the SF sprint.

As I understand it, openWRT (from the Shuttleworth project) can be 
installed on
a TP-Link router. It can be configured to serve connected XOs (such as 
in a classroom)
on a mesh. It could also serve as a gateway to the school server's LAN.

If this could work, then the schoolserver would not provide DHCP (since 
the mesh potato routers would
have fixed addresses on the schoolserver LAN) and would not provide 
ejabberd (since that function is
served by the classroom-level mesh).

Presumably each classroom mesh would be a subnet of the LAN so that 
openWRT would act as a gateway
for messages directed at the schoolserver.

Is my understanding in the ballpark?

Is there someone in the community who is working on this capability or 
is an appropriate reference for further
information?

Tony

Couple of postinstall notes:

xs-authserver has some sort of conflict with the library versions that IIAB
installs.  This gets xs-authserver working (don't worry, it doesn't break

pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall Werkzeug Flask

Nice if I could plug in a USB and the XSCE will just make a link to

Apple USB ethernet adaptor mix with a cheap adaptor for XO or laptop wireless

Agree that we need to do testing before it goes in the wild as it can be pretty 
embarassing that things are broken. The last time I had good experience with 
XSCE 3.0 and 15 XO-1 (on transition to elsewhere). Have been recently testing

I was wondering if anyone was aware of any unused XOs laying

We are interested in doing some load testing for network hardware and
XSCE performance.

My dream setup would be 30-60 XO1's arranged semi-permanently in
someone's spare room. Testers could then SSH into the network to run
scripts on the XO's to simulate various types of load.

Does anyone have experience with this type of testing? Does anyone
have machines or a room to donate:)

Good news indeed and my appreciation to all the hard work the XSCE team have 
put into. 

I recently installed R2 on SD a card for XO 1.75 (512 Mib) with 3 APs. It seems 
to be working fine with 30 XO-1s connected via different AP. Registration went 
well, ejabberdctl displayed registered users, moodle work, backup work. So I am 
a happy end-user waiting to see it deployed in the wild soon!

After three months of hard work and three weeks of working out the
kinks in the release process, XSCE 0.3 is ready for its final release.

We went conservative this release. Emphasis on stability meant less time
for new features.


* XSCE now runs on the XO-1.5,XO-1.75 and  XO-4.

* Modular Architecture: cleanly integrate extendable services.

* XSCE runs on the XOs' current OS 13.1.0 (we discovered some wrinkles with
13.2.0 which push its use off to the next release)

* Moodle is Back!

* Content filtering via openDNS.com

* Script for formatting of SD cards, and integration into system for
content storage and memory extending swap file (does not work on XO4's)



Grab an XO-1.5, XO-1.75 or a XO-4 to give XSCE 0.3 give a whirl:

http://schoolserver.org/0.3

If you are just getting started with XSCE we suggest using the instruction
at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Holt/XS_Community_Edition/0.3/Installingto
install your first server.

Once you are through the install, a good second step is to work your new
server though it’s paces by doing the smoke test at
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Holt/XS_Community_Edition/0.3/Testing


Monster thanks to everyone who spent months of springtime work -- traveling
days from quite different parts of North America to make this community
product real.

More testing outcome.

1. Able to run with 2 USB-ethernet adaptor with one hardwire to the internet 
replacing the XO wireless internet connection. 

2. Collaborative work e.g. few registered machine running memorize game while  
6 XOs non-registered running write.

3. SOAS have problem starting collaborative activities.

Conclusion: So far so good :-)

Some XSCE Release 1 testing outcomes. Some happy news.

1. Registration went OK for 12.1, 13.1 on XO-1.75, Soas-Fedora17 and Dextrose3 
(XO-1)

2. Autologin works for all of them into Moodle 
(http://schoolserver.local/moodle).

3. /usr/bin/ds-backup.sh works for 12.1, 13.1 (new patch applied). New files 
seen in the /library/users/

4. Not sure what is needed for SoAS (is there a ds-backup.sh file?) or 
Dextrose3 (Bld 96 Dextrose International). In Dextrose always get Failed Error 
- Call Process: [None] when I click on the Journal Backup/Restore commands. 

5. As usual clicking on the backup on Moodle gives the This user has no 
backup data yet (or data compatbility) . Will this ever work ?

Do you have one of the early 1.75 models? I get a similar install
glitch on one of my early 1.75s. Somewhere near the end of the install
the screen goes blank if I haven't poked the touchpad lately.

Would you mind filing a bug about the moodle login at
https://sugardextrose.org/projects/xsce/issues ?

It will be our first public bug reported to the project :) After hours
and hours working late into the night and talking to each other We
will finally have feedback from a potential user!

A big thank you to anyone who can test RC1, almost three months after
XSCE 0.2 -- we now have big changes for all to try out with the
imminent XSCE 0.3:

   * XSCE runs on XOs' brand new OLPC OS 13.1.0,
 thanks to XSCE's fast migration from Fedora 17 to 18 these past weeks
   * XSCE now runs on XO-4 and XO-1.5, in addition to the its XO-1.75
 origins--with x86  x64 testing just now beginning in earnest.
 Highly experimental XO-1 functionality now proven, tho NOT advised!
   * Auto-recognition and mounting of USB hard drives
   * Modular Architecture: cleanly integrate extendable services,
 perhaps soon including http://internet-in-a-box.org
 successfully tested this wkd: http://schoolserver.org/0.3/IIAB
   * Full offline installs possible going forward:
 set up your own USB memory stick installer.
 Compare To: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OS_Builder
   * Moodle is Back!
   * Content filtering via openDNS.com and dansguardian.org

So grab an old XO-1.5 or similar and give XSCE 0.3 RC1 give these
earnest/sleep-deprived volunteers' offering a whirl:

   http://schoolserver.org/0.3

Many people would LOVE to hear your feedback testing the above before
final release just a couple weeks away!  Til then, these little guys
rock (TM, iLoveMyXO.com !)  Monster thanks to the folks whose
months of springtime work went into this imminent accomplishment--

Re: [Server-devel] [ANNOUNCE] XSCE 0.2.1 - Phoebe

[tkkang]

The installation is a breeze now! I am sure alot of work has been putted in 
over the past 24 hours!

Manage to get it running with 2 USB-Ethernet plugin with wireless turned off 
and power management off. When it works it works!!

I will for more testing. The XO-1.75-server seems to freeze quite predictable 
now after 10-20 minutes. Only way is to reboot again with power off button. 
Will run normally again and then freeze.

Don't seems to have experience this in previous installations.

Cheers

 Hi,
 
 It gives me pleasure to announce the 0.2.1 release
 (Phoebe-http://www.flickr.com/photos/tiayiti/8477848448 ;-) ) of the
 School Server Community Edition project. Since the 0.1 release nearly a
 month ago, a significant amount of core XS functionality has been included.
 
 With this release, we have a largely functional schoolserver, with all
 the core services up and running. We have tested this on the XO-1.75 and
 the generic x86 big iron, and look forward to contributors  (hackers,
 testers, folks wanting to run pilots).
 
 =Download  Install=
 Detailed instructions can be found here:
 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Holt/XS_Community_Edition/0.2/Installing
 
 Here are some steps to try it out on an XO-1.75 laptop (Installation
 requires a working internet connection):
 
 su -
 cd /etc/yum.repos.d
 wget http://build.activitycentral.com/xsce-stable.repo
 yum -y install xs-config-xo
 bootstrap-xo
 
 REBOOT
 
 su -
 xs-setup
 
 REBOOT
 
 =Contribute=
 The code for this server resides at
 http://sugardextrose.org/projects/xs-config/repository . People
 interested in hacking should clone the  repo and feel free to send
 patches to server-devel.
 
 There are weekly skype meetings on Thursdays 8pm EST for people who can
 join in those.
 
 ==Test==
 We encourage users to break the server, find weird use cases and create
 issues here:
 
 http://sugardextrose.org/projects/xs-config/issues
 
 Here are some basic testing notes to get started with
 
 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Holt/XS_Community_Edition/0.2/Test_Plan
 
 ==Known issues/quirks==
 * SELinux and XSCE don't mix well so far. If SELinux isn't disabled
 already, please do so before/after install.
 * The machine needs to be rebooted after installing the server for
 everything to work smoothly.
 * On xo the hostname is automatically changed to schoolserver.local.  On
 non-xo it is whatever the user set it to, so if you want
 schoolserver.local you must edit /etc/sysconfig/network and issue the
 hostname command.
 
 ==Looking forward - 0.3==
 * Targeted release date - 5/12
 * Server GUI (Administrator, Teacher)
 * Content services
 * Code Modularization
 * Faster releases, wider testing
 * Support for FC18, 13.1.0
 * Support for wider hardware XO1-4, Rpi
 * Load testing

both need to be attached when the install is run and the wifi should be off. 
the install looks for an adapter that has access to the gateway and calls it 
wan.  it then looks for another and calls the last one it finds lan.

Re: [Server-devel] [ANNOUNCE] XSCE 0.2.1 - Phoebe

[tkkang]

I plugged 2 USB XO now in the XO. Both of them are in the 172.. range - hence 
Internet is not working unless I connect to wireless again. Are there extra 
procedures or configurations I am missing?

 Hi,
 
 It gives me pleasure to announce the 0.2.1 release
 (Phoebe-http://www.flickr.com/photos/tiayiti/8477848448 ;-) ) of the
 School Server Community Edition project. Since the 0.1 release nearly a
 month ago, a significant amount of core XS functionality has been included.
 
 With this release, we have a largely functional schoolserver, with all
 the core services up and running. We have tested this on the XO-1.75 and
 the generic x86 big iron, and look forward to contributors  (hackers,
 testers, folks wanting to run pilots).
 
 =Download  Install=
 Detailed instructions can be found here:
 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Holt/XS_Community_Edition/0.2/Installing
 
 Here are some steps to try it out on an XO-1.75 laptop (Installation
 requires a working internet connection):
 
 su -
 cd /etc/yum.repos.d
 wget http://build.activitycentral.com/xsce-stable.repo
 yum -y install xs-config-xo
 bootstrap-xo
 
 REBOOT
 
 su -
 xs-setup
 
 REBOOT
 
 =Contribute=
 The code for this server resides at
 http://sugardextrose.org/projects/xs-config/repository . People
 interested in hacking should clone the  repo and feel free to send
 patches to server-devel.
 
 There are weekly skype meetings on Thursdays 8pm EST for people who can
 join in those.
 
 ==Test==
 We encourage users to break the server, find weird use cases and create
 issues here:
 
 http://sugardextrose.org/projects/xs-config/issues
 
 Here are some basic testing notes to get started with
 
 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Holt/XS_Community_Edition/0.2/Test_Plan
 
 ==Known issues/quirks==
 * SELinux and XSCE don't mix well so far. If SELinux isn't disabled
 already, please do so before/after install.
 * The machine needs to be rebooted after installing the server for
 everything to work smoothly.
 * On xo the hostname is automatically changed to schoolserver.local.  On
 non-xo it is whatever the user set it to, so if you want
 schoolserver.local you must edit /etc/sysconfig/network and issue the
 hostname command.
 
 ==Looking forward - 0.3==
 * Targeted release date - 5/12
 * Server GUI (Administrator, Teacher)
 * Content services
 * Code Modularization
 * Faster releases, wider testing
 * Support for FC18, 13.1.0
 * Support for wider hardware XO1-4, Rpi
 * Load testing
 
 Cheers,
 Anish

Re: [Server-devel] Backup of XO 1.75 on XS 0.7

Instead I use ds-backup.py and immediately I get the backup - instant 
gratification.

When moodle give data corrupt error (know error XS) how best to restore the 
files then? Will we see this error ticket get resolved?

Re: [Server-devel] Backup of XO 1.75 on XS 0.7

[tkkang]

Yes I am aware that setting the domain is different in the 0.6  0.7. Loading 
0.6 everything seems to work - ejabberctl and ds-backup. 

I tried so MANY times to use the kickstart with 0.7 and after doing all the 
necessary configuration I get the error in ejabberd process - i.e. ejabberdctl 
connected-users will reveal errors. 

So I need to bypass the Kickstart. Now I am getting back to the old way - CD 
bootup instead of USB installation and see what happen.

Setting the doamin on 0.6 is different from doing so on 0.7

On 0.6 you would do: /etc/sysconfig/olpc-scripts/domain_config example.org
On 0.7 you would do: xs-setup example.org

Be sure to use the kickstart option on 0.7. Let it be
localhost.localdomain. Then run xs-setup example.org or whatever your
domain is and set the domain.

[Server-devel] Schoolserver 0.7 installation: ejabberd testing

[tkkang]

I am installed the latest 0.7 schoolserver and testing it with XO 1.75 loaded 
with 13.1.0 (with latest build 35). I did the necessary xs-setup (reboot)  
xs-setup-network (reboot). Register 2 XO and auto login was OK for Moodle via 
wireless access.

On my XO I type olpc-netstatus. Telepathy: salut but Jabber is blank

On my newly XS I type:  ejabberdctl connectedusers but I UNABLE to check who is 
login in but an error in the ejabberd error log:

ERROR REPORT

E (0.36.0): ejabbed_configL 551): Error reading Mnesia data spool files
   ejabber needs read  write access in the directory 
/var/lib/ejabberd/spool

Maybe the problenm is a change in the comouter hostname or a change in Erlange 
node name    bla bla

Is this normal as I am not getting information on XO login unlike when I 
install the XSCE on my XO!

When I type /usr/bin/ds-backup.sh I get a return prompt instantnously. Again is 
this expected.

In short how do I know if I really have a XS with backup, ejebbard,etc running 
with the 0.7 schoolserver?

Thanks and advice appreciated

With the right build 12.1.0-21 the XSCE installation work well.
Thank you all for responding as I learned more about the process of 
installation the difficult way. Much appreciated. 

Now will be testing to see how things work with wireless internet and USB AP. 
Will shift to 2 USB later on in my testing.

Is your 1.75 locked?

 For the 1st installation I did not have the USB-Ethernet-AP connection 
 plugin.
 

Your best bet is to have all your interfaces plugging in before booting
the XO, otherwise when we detect the number of interfaces we will miss
installing some components that is vital to using the XS as a router. We
prompt if we detect less than what is required for a router, but I
prefer to have the interfaces appear in the same order as what the
kernel will find if just rebooted. This is more of an issue when your
using 2 usb based interfaces and not using the XO's internal wifi.

 Maybe I should use another XO to start all over again!
 

I would prefer if you could use 12.1.0-21 as a starting point as that is
what we are testing with. If you can't do that, please ensure your
network adaptor is inserted before booting then run the install.


 Thanks for the detail step by step. Hope I have better luck the next time.

I followed the procedures here 
(http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Holt/XS_Community_Edition/0.2/Hacking#Installing)
 and manage get to the part where I was advice to take a coffee break (ejjaberd 
starting, etc).

After a long wait I get the following info:

systemctl start ejabberd-xs-service
Job failed. See system journal and 'systemctl status' for detail

I checked log and it say specified file is not readable 
/etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.pem 

What should I do to continue ... things went smooth until I hit this.

For the time being I could login into the system via an AP and get internet 
access. So something is still working with a 1/2 an installation!

Thanks for the reply and support!

No.. I tried a number of time and it NEVER got me to the end where it ask me to 
reboot with a message of a successful installation. Drop me there with 
instruction to manuall start ejjaberd. 
 
For the time being when I reboot .. at least it works with my the AP and 
provide successful internet connection to other XOs - that is an achievement 
indeed thanks to the hardwork of many! Hence can't http://schoolserver to get a 
response, etc.

Must I use an external AP or there is more magic if the XO wirless can function

I always get that message about ejabberd failing to start during the
installation process.  It times out, then the installation process moves on.

Did the install continue after you got that message?  It should have done
some other stuff, then after another little while, it should have told you
to reboot.

Re: [Server-devel] XS Community Edition: XO 1.75 installtion

[tkkang]

Just registered for developer key for the XO. See if I could run XS-setup again 
with the XO unlock. Pity I have no way of flashing to the latest 12.1.0 build 
21.

Without ejabberd running or http runnig at least I am able to support 10 XO via 
a external AP and a wired WAN from another USBEthernet. The power source for 
the external AP is powered by the XO USB and hence no external power supply is 
needed for it to server as a school server. That is cool.

Will update on progress but I will be back to the XS7 for a coming deployment.

Cheers

Initially, at least, the expected configuration is that the internal wifi is 
used for external access (wan) and the ap is attached to a usb ethernet 
device for interanl access (lan).

Great getting support for the list.

No it is a brand new XO 1.75 which have not been unlocked. Is that a must?

What is the typical setup ? As the XO internal Wifi can be turned into a 
WiFi I will need a external AP connected to my USBEthernet plug. To get 
internet access I will then need another USBEthernet plugin with connection 
for wired internet access. It will so nice that the XO internal wifi can act 
as a AP making less need for external AP!

Looking forward to future addition. The ability for the XO to server as a 
webs erver while providing connection for other XOs is really a great 
start - esp for small deployments!

Great weekend to all.

Is your 1.75 locked?

 For the 1st installation I did not have the USB-Ethernet-AP connection 
 plugin.


Your best bet is to have all your interfaces plugging in before booting
the XO, otherwise when we detect the number of interfaces we will miss
installing some components that is vital to using the XS as a router. We
prompt if we detect less than what is required for a router, but I
prefer to have the interfaces appear in the same order as what the
kernel will find if just rebooted. This is more of an issue when your
using 2 usb based interfaces and not using the XO's internal wifi.

 Maybe I should use another XO to start all over again!


I would prefer if you could use 12.1.0-21 as a starting point as that is
what we are testing with. If you can't do that, please ensure your
network adaptor is inserted before booting then run the install.


 Thanks for the detail step by step. Hope I have better luck the next 
 time.

 Just to clarify, you're on a 1.75 running 12.1.0?  And before you 
 started
 doing anything in the instructions, did you plug in a USB wifi dongle
 connected to a powered up AP?
 
 My usual process for getting ready to install is:
 
 1.  Flash 12.1.0 on a 1.75
 2.  It reboots itself, I set the buddy name
 3.  In NH, I connect to my home wifi
 4.  Turn off power management in the Sugar Control Panel
 5.  Plug in the ethernet cable that connects the usb wifi dongle to the 
 AP
 6.  Plug the AP's power into the wall outlet
 7.  Insert the usb wifi dongle into the 1.75
 8.  Open the terminal activity and start following the install 
 instructions

[Server-devel] XS 0.7 and XO 1 1.75 registration

[tkkang]

It has been sometime since I played with the XS. Have a few problems:

1. Registered went OK with a XO 1 and can login automatically on the Moodle but
when try to force a manual back up with sudo /usr/bin/ds-backup.sh I get the 
message: Not Registered yet, nothing to do

2. Register with a XO 1.75 but this time won't login onto Moodle automatically.

Any advice ?

 Good!

 the next problem is that when I try to register the qemu emulated xo
 8.2.0
 it fails, probably because qemu has a built in dhcp server and nat
 firewall,
 so the xo never gets it address, dns, and domain from the xs and
 therefore
 can't find the xs.

 Very likely correct. Maybe you can run qemu without dhcp  nat?

There's probably a better way to do this, but I don't know the xo very well

(assuming that networking is working, i.e. you can type schoolserver in the 
browse address and reach the moodle login screen on the xs)

from home access the setup menu and take networking (sorry I don't remember 
the exact name)
change the name of the jabberd server to schoolserver.your domain

start terminal activity (it may not be visible at first if it's not a 
favorite and I don't remember how I found it)
su - (become the root user; there was no password on my install)
yum install wget (use this to get the patch; it's not alread there)
cd /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/jarabe/desktop (this is where the python 
script that registers the xo goes)
mv schoolserver.py schoolserver.py.ORIG (keep a copy in case)
wget http://dev.sugarlabs.org/raw-attachment/ticket/916/schoolserver.py
reboot

registration should now work

We had 11 students using Sugar on a Stick and their sticks were backed up
today at the GPA!  Yay!
So now I have feedback on the Moodle UI.  I know we don't have a ton of
people doing development work so we need to think about where to collect
feedback if it cant be addressed in the immediate future.


   - The files show up in Backup but I can't really do anything with them.
I want to be able to browse Student work from a WebUI some how.
  - Maybe snapshots that I could view online like the previews in Sugar.
  - Ability to see the Description and Tags data
  - Ability to see all the past versions of this object (less
  important).
  - For Write documents and image files I'd like to be able to download
  them to a nonSugar system and view them.
  - As a teacher I'd like to be able to edit the description and tags
  fields from Moodle and have it get synced back.
   - I want to be able to work with the files inside of Moodle
  - Collect them as assignments/homework in a class so as the teacher I
  have all my students on a page with a file each.
  - Blog about them. In my blog I'd like to be able to attach a file
  from my backup.

Basically the student work is there but its not in a very useful form for
either the teacher to assess learning or to reflect on the effectiveness of
the lesson or the students' needs.

Different photos  from various individual upload via mobile iphone facebook

The AP is from Altai Technologies' A8 Super WiFi Base Station. Here is snip 
from a press release:

Thimphu is the capital of Bhutan with a population of over 99,000.  The Altai 
A8 Super WiFi Base Station will be installed in one of the primary schools at 
Thimphu to provide wireless broadband access to the campus areas in this 
district.  The long range technology of the A8 helps extend the WiFi signal to 
1km in the line-of-sight environment, this helps shorten the deployment time 
and cost.  Anthony Wong, President, China  South East Asia of OLPC said, ?We 
appreciate the support from Altai.  OLPC Asia will donate 200 units of 
wifi-enabled XO laptops to the schools in Bhutan for education purposes.  
Leveraging the Altai?s Super WiFi technology, the wireless broadband services 
will cover the campus areas in Thimphu.  Teachers and students will be able to 
learn through the XO laptop and connect to them to the world.?  This charity 
project will kick-start the rural Bhutan on the road towards the digital era

Hope in the future we can document the setup, the experience and any 
modification made to XS ? Photos can only show certain things even though 
Confucious wisdom that picture is worth a thousand words grin

Probably a strategic reboot is better, faster and clearer. You do need

If you

1 - install
2 - set the domain (which sets resolv.conf

everything 'just works'. Once I make 0.6 an official release -- soon!
I promise! -- we can update the install guide with this info.

 Working normally..and I am amazed by the level of automation via the XS. 
 Just registered 2 XOs via wireless.

Great!

 Now I need to see how the Moodle could be a mix of external users and XOs 
 registered users. I use to have success login in with admin and the password 
 supplied to add newlanguage options. Any changes? I have not been login with 
 the combination recently?

Use the first registered XO -- which has 'course creator' rights in
Moodle. It can create new normal accounts, which login with
username/password.

If you want those accounts to be 'course creators' too, after creating
the accounts you can grant them the right from Users-Roles-Sitewide
roles (a standard Moodle procedure)

Re: [Server-devel] Moodle/Server configuration for static IP external access

[tkkang]

I can't really recommend that. Moodle and other services should only be in
the internal network. Publishing it in the external network creates security
issues.

Yes, with a real school deployment this is a major concern. The XS I understand 
is designed for minimal maintence without this headache!! 


If you still want to do it, the best way is to ensure that the external
users (external from the PoV of the XS) see the exact same DNS name for the
server. Once you do that, images, forms and links will work.

What settings do I need to configure for this? Thanks

Yep! that's the 2 steps needed for a static IP address on eth0

- an ifcfg-eth0-local file as Rodolfo's example

- upstream DNS servers set as forwarders

Also, /etc/resolv.conf needs to be pointing to the DNS server on the
XS. Otherwise the local names (needed for ejabberd and other services)
will be missing (unless you configure the upstream DNS servers to
serve them but that is more complicated).

Re: [Server-devel] Server configuration for static IP instead of DHCP

[tkkang]

Maybe the WIKI need an update that include ... take a break and come back for 
the cache stuff  

Working normally..and I am amazed by the level of automation via the XS. Just 
registered 2 XOs via wireless. Now I need to see how the Moodle could be a mix 
of external users and XOs registered users. I use to have success login in with 
admin and the password supplied to add newlanguage options. Any changes? I have 
not been login with the combination recently?

Fantastic news! DNS/resolver stuff is sometimes cached so going to
sleep is sometimes the right fix ;-)

 Have set the forwarders commands to my actual DNS and the resolv.conf 
 nameserver points to 172.18.0.1.

Perfect-o.

Re: [Server-devel] Server configuration for static IP instead of DHCP

I tried your config - thanks. No luck. 

I get a fixed IP of 192.168.1.230 and could ping 192.168.1.1, etc and even the 
designated public IP of my router given by my ISP. However I can't ping any 
external network outside.

Have you go this working with a XS server with a static IP?

correct DNS settings you need to instead set the 'forwarders' properly

Re: [Server-devel] New XS-0.6d2

[tkkang]

A very large team is to their Sichuan, China today. We managed to do some very 
initial testing of the XS last weekend but unable to stress test it as we had 
limited time and lack of APs. 

A photo of trying to monitor memory usage here:

http://www.meet2learn.net/egallery/main.php?g2_itemId=886

I have asked the deployment to record their field experience and hopefully more 
information will reveal in a few days time.

BTW is the XS already a ejabber server by default?
 
When I type ejabberdctl status I get this message:

Node ejabb...@schoolserver is started. Status: started
ejabberd is not running
 
I want to test XO and SoaS with various activities via a collaborative ejabber 
server? I have an actual working domain for the purpose.

Have a good weekend.

2009/5/28  tkk...@nurturingasia.com:
 At the moment we are concern about the wireless support. A message below 
 from a volunter:

 --
 Yesterday in TK's office, I experienced that registration takes only 2 
 second for one XO, so I guess the bandwidth requirement for registratoin 
 process is very minimal.

Yes, the registration is a simple process that does not use much bandwidth.

 In my viewpoint, the most important question in the Sat. stress test is 
 whether we should use 1 AP or 3 AP. If it is feasible to register 50 PC via 
 one AP simultaneously, then we are safe. Because it means that we can 
 register 150 XO in chanenls 1, 6,11 simultaneously in SiChuan school. Then 
 we can finish registering 450 XO in 3 rounds. What do you think?

Given that registration is a light process and that it would actually
be quite a logistical challenge to get 50 people to click Register
in exactly the same moment, I guess your concerns are more about
general prolonged usage of the network, rather than specifically the 1
second that is needed to register a laptop.

You may have problems getting 50 people connected to the same access
point (the step *before* registration). Some access points that I
tested would crash after accepting the 31st user. Some are OK though.
But in any situation, 50 is probably the maximum you'd want to put on
1 access point.

You may want to focus on channels 6 and 11, because out of the box
XOs which have not yet connected to an access point will start meshing
on channel 1, this may saturate the spectrum with a sufficient number
of laptops.

I do not think you need rounds of registration. With sufficient
access points, you should be able to get 450 users online
concurrently. Having insufficient access points will be a problem
because the XOs automatically connect to familiar networks, so it will
be logistically difficult to get the first round of children to
disconnect to allow for the second round.

And as for post-registration... As far as I can tell, the XS has not
seen much field use with such a large number of users concurrently
signed on ejabberd, so your feedback will be very useful. We have
schools of similar size here in the Paraguayan deployment, but not
everyone has been taught about registration and collaboration yet, so
we're only at about 100 users online at any one time. (and actually
ejabberd is not coping very well with that, see my emails about
ejabberd CPU usage)

Yes, the hostname step is needed for 0.5.2 (the install instructions

 3. Registered (first) with a Chinese XO (3 chinese character as name)
 4. Tried moodle with Chinese XO after registration: Moodle login in prompt

I am really intrigued with this problem. I'll try to reproduce it.

Can you send me the moodle logs - as follows

 - /var/log/moodle/cron.log.*
 - /var/log/httpd/error.log.*

 4. Register (second) with a English XO  (with space in name)

Did this one work? Also - do all the machines have the Browse.xo
version that has the magic stuff to auto-login to moodle?
(Browse-102.xo).

 6. Tried moodle with English XO: automatic login and have creator assess
 7. Login moodle with admin account to check:
  Can see an account with Chinese alias name (displayed in chinese!) and
  machine ID

Is the chinese names from one of the accounts from step 4?

 8. Journal viewing. Chinese activities name still do not display

- What version of the XO software do yo have?
- Did you look inside of Moodle for the 'Backup'? To do this...
  1 - login to moodle with the 'admin' access
  2 - in the admin options (on the left) go to users-accounts-browse
  3 - select a user
  4 - select the 'backup' tab
  ... you should see properly encoded journal
- I assume you've installed the 'fonts-chinese' package?
- When you say do not display -- does it display the funny boxes
with 4 numbers you see when you're missing a unicode font?

 9. Can we still assess Jabber via the 172.18.0.1:5280/admin?

No, that's gone :-) It's all configured automatically.

Now I need to tell the Chinese team how they can update the browser to 102 as

Can you confirm the version of Browse.xo? To do that, go to the 'home
view' and change it from the 'ring view' to the 'list view' using the
icons in the top-right corner of the screen.

Just want to make sure that you have Browse version 102 on all your

After registration, you need to reboot. Only on the next session
Browse knows that it's registered...

 Moodle login display but no automatic login

The steps you are following for debugging are correct (but you need to
add the 'reboot after registration' step). When I follow the same
steps I have no problems to login with users with spaces, names or
extended utf-chars.

 Now I login as admin and browse list of user. 2 user found


 t.k. kang   sh...@olpcasia.org  Never

 Click on t.k. kang and then on the Backup tab

 Get message:  Datastore is corrupt, or unknown format

I've just checked -- that problably means that there is no backup yet,
the errors got mixed up when I added datastore version 1 support.
You need to either wait ~1 hour for the backup to be performed or run
it manually. To run it manually, open the terminal and execute

  ds-backup.py

I've just fixed that error message in Moodle so it reports the right message.

...
 Will do the 3rd registration BUT with a Chinese XO

I just grabbed an XO, gave it a nickname of 唔好?Y???Y去 :-) , registered
it, rebooted it, and then when I went to Moodle it logged me in,
automagically.

(Hope that the mailing list doesn'tcorrupt the utf-8 above!)

At last! We have an XS 0.6 preview to play with. If you look at

http://xs-dev.laptop.org/xs/other/

you'll find an iso (usual anaconda installer) and an img.gz. The iso
is the usual Anaconda deal. The img file can be dd'd into an SD card,
and it will Just Boot on an XO -- see notes @
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS-on-XO

The installation process is significantly simplified. On first boot
(from either install method), you need to issue:

   /etc/sysconfig/olpc_scripts/domain_config your base domain

and restart. That's it, no more fiddling with ejabberd.

[Server-devel] XS testing for Chinese English XO

[tkkang]

Greeting. This is my first message to the list! I am working on getting a XS 
server working for deployment in China this summer.

Manage to do more testing to see if I could replicate problems I had 
previously. I can repeat the following with both the chinese and english XOs 
with a 0.52 XS that has yum updated:

1. User name with space (e.g. tk kang) have problems for the moodle account 
creation. When I click on the tk kang at the moodle interface it say no 
profile have been created. I check with the moodle admin account and it confirm 
that an account was not created with the machine serialID

2. When I change back to the normal name of tkkang a moodle account is 
created and works O.K.

3. Hence chinese names (double bytes) will have the same issue as describe 
above.  

4. Have not solved the problem of not chinese character in the ds-restore view. 
When downloaded to the chinese XOs machine it display the chinese activity 
normally.

For fun I created  video of the XS bootup and my testing environment.

Cheers and hope to provide more test information as we go along.
