[Server-devel] XSCE 0.2 - Network problems running xs-setup
Hello: I ran into a few problems when trying to install the XSCE 0.2. I downloaded the repo and installed, during the installation process i got this messages, but apparently everything was installed correctly. http://pastebin.com/srwDn6wX I'm running in a HP DV4 laptop with Fedora 17 (security spin, i'm downloading the std version), it's connected to the internet with the wi-fi, and during xs-setup, connection is lost for some time (20-30 secs aprox), it stops and starts Networkmanager apparently, but is long enough for the script to fail at downloading the required software, and installation fails. I think is during xs-setup-network http://pastebin.com/7YTFHLL7 I'll be poking around to see if I can connect to internet with a cable, or pehaps give it a sleep to the script before downloading, if you could point me into wich file should i change. cheers -- Rodolfo D.

What would you time is a safe amount of time to wait before bailing out of the install? I'm thinking 2 minutes. http://pastebin.com/7YTFHLL7 I'll be poking around to see if I can connect to internet with a cable, or pehaps give it a sleep to the script before downloading, if you could point me into wich file should i change. cheers I have some revisions related to that in the testing repo, could you start the next install with the testing repo enabled: http://build.activitycentral.com/xsce.repo Jerry ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel

That time to restart NM seems excessive, but we need to cover that situation. What would you time is a safe amount of time to wait before bailing out of the install? I'm thinking 2 minutes. It takes some time because the conection is wi-fi and it takes a long time to negotiate the conection, the is restored a couple seconds before the scripts exists. The ideal would be to check if connection is up and then continue, with a simple ping to the previously found gateway should work and timeout after 2 minutes or so. DHCP servers on most routers are fast enough for that window of time with cable connections, but wireless could take a while. 2 minutes is more than enough. I have some revisions related to that in the testing repo, could you start the next install with the testing repo enabled: I have to enable testing and upgrade the xs-cofig package? or is there a specific package that needs to be downloaded? -- Rodolfo D.

I downloaded the RPM, installed using yum and didn' t ask for any dependencies. ran xs-setup and it failed, it did restarted the Network and waited for a bit, but later it just failed, didn' t try to download anything http://pastebin.com/vdgfuHtY 2013/3/22 Jerry Vonau jvo...@shaw.ca: On Fri, 2013-03-22 at 10:24 -0300, Rodolfo D.

Now that is strange, why would your installation not find the executable, wait it does but the value returned is bad. Is the file /etc/hostname present if so what is the contents?

I think is during xs-setup-network I had this problem on my campus network three times in a row, but when I do this at home, the NM restart comes back with DNS in a matter of a few seconds. There is still a bit of a lookup loss, but it recovers fairly quickly. cheers, Sameer http://pastebin.com/7YTFHLL7 I'll be poking around to see if I can connect to internet with a cable, or pehaps give it a sleep to the script before downloading, if you could point me into wich file should i change. cheers -- Rodolfo D.
