Re: [Server-devel] Server configuration
Hi Martin, I have never setup a static address before and therefore have never had this issue before. Below is the step-by-step configuration that I followed and I am having a problem with the DNS as the XO's do not connect to the Internet I downloaded the XS 0.5.2 image and followed the instructions http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_Installing_Software. 1.I initially ran the script /etc/sysconfig/olpc-scripts/domainconfig katane.org with katane.org being the hostname 2.I also changed the HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain to HOSTNAME=schoolserver.katane.org Our internet has a static IP address therefore I copied /usr/share/doc/xs-config-*/ifcfg-eth0-local.example to /etc/sysconfig/olpc-scripts/ifcfg-eth0-local and edited the file with the following: IPADDR=10.50.211.15 IPV6ADDR=no NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=10.50.211.0 BROADCAST=10.50.211.255 GATEWAY=10.50.211.5 I also edited the /etc/resolv.conf to resolve the DNS nameserver as follows: search katane.org nameservers 10.50.211.5 3. Restarted the machine 4. I then started the ejabberd service at runlevels 345 5. Restarted the machine shutdown -r now 6. After reboot I pinged www.google.com and I got reply packets which meant that I had connection to the internet 7. now the problem is that when I check the ejabberd status ejabberdctl status I get an error RPC failed on the node ejabb...@schoolserver: nodedown so I went back to my /etc/resolv.conf file and edited the nameserver back to 172.18.0.1 and restarted ejabberd and this executed with no errors. But now the server does not resolve the DNS addresses cause when I ping www.google.com I get the error unknown host www.google.com 8.Another thing is that the XO does not connect to the internet under all scenarios but it connects to the schoolserver as I get to the who are you? page Now what do I need to do to make this work as I am using Active Antenna to connect the XO's to the Server Regards Neo Masilo ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
Re: [Server-devel] Server configuration
Neo, Hi. I'm wondering why you need the Static IP. Does the XS have one or two network cards? Will the XS act as a gateway to the Internet?

[Server-devel] What is the vision for software update?
Hi, We are working on making software update (both activities and underlying OS) work for Sugar on a Stick and we aren't that clear on what the vision, spec and state of code is for software update on the XO. Does it require Root to update the software? Do students do it themselves somehow? Do updates come from the school server or an OLPC server somewhere? Is the updating of activities vs sugar code vs fedora code integrate or separate? We are imagining that having the XS control all this is the optimal solution. Do other people see it the same way? Is this code written for the XS+XO or speced and not yet written or wished for but not yet speced? -- Caroline Meeks Solution Grove carol...@solutiongrove.com 617-500-3488 - Office 505-213-3268 - Fax ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
[Server-devel] Aliasing and backup
Ok, I am asked here after I read the XS Blueprint for account aliasing, I am not sure I am thinking about this the right way. I registered SoaS and generated a backup and its available from Moodle just fine. I later register another SoaS and go to the the old registration, click the alias tab, choose the new registration and click the Alias this account button. I login to the XS from the new registration and an logged in automatically. I go to my backup tab and it says this user has no backup data yet. As an experiment I also tried aliasing in the opposite direction, going to the new user, clicking that alias tab and choosing the old user to the same effect. Should the backups from the original account show up on the new aliased account?
