Re: [Server-devel] XS 0.5.1-dev03 with ejabberd goodness, kernel bling, Access Point workingness... looking for xmas testers
Hi Rueben, Hope you had a nice time over Christmas and new Year! Sorry to bring this down to earth again...but life goes on.. J I have reinstalled a fresh install. On starting, the server now shows OLPC School Server release 9-0.5 Kernel 2.6.27.7-53.fc9.i686 on an i686 (tty1) Everything done exactly as below. The XS has been configured and Online roster created, server restarted. eJabberd running. The XOs have been de-registered and rebooted, and then registered, and rebooted. This is what happens when they have started up: (1)All four XOs are connected (2)All have been registered - i.e. it told me registration successful (3)olpc-netstatus shows that all are running Telepathy type gabble, but the numbers of XOs shown varies from 3 to 5 on the XOs and the corresponding incomplete population on the neighbourhood screen. The school server is correctly shown, and config is shown as school mesh on all four. (4)Check - ejabberd running OK (5)After a period of 30 mins, no change. I shut down 3 XOs and check Web admin - it shows all four XOs registered. (6)I reboot everything inc server. After allowing a few minutes, I check: ejabberd is running, all four XOs are connected, olpc-netstatus shows them all running Telepathy gabble, school mesh, but XO = 2 (i.e. server and XO). Neighbourhood screen remains unpopulated, even after 10 minutes. (7)Video chat starts up OK but you don't see any other XOs initially. However, after 5 minutes some of the other XOs do start to appear on Video Chat - even though they are not shown in the network view, and it is not reliable or symmetric - i.e. XO-1 might see XO-2 but not vice versa. This might be an important clue or symptom of what is happening The work around is as before: (1)Shut down all but one XO, log on to ejabberd Web Admin and delete all users, reboot everything. (2)Start everything up and it works fine (as you can see on Youtube), but only for that session - I have to do this procedure each time to get it working.. and even then you can't be sure of 100% collaboration between the four XOs The identical equipment all works fine with XS-0.4 David Leeming Technical Advisor, People First Network, Honiara, Solomon Islands Alternative email address: leemingda...@yahoo.com.au From: Reuben Caron [mailto:caron.reu...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Reuben K.

2008/12/31 David Leeming leem...@pipolfastaem.gov.sb I want to do a new install but can you let me know if I can install Samba and how to set up access to a shared folder on a Windows PC on the LAN as I have a large content collection and it takes ages to copy it all again by flash drive. Or maybe there is a better way to do it. I was curious about that, too, so I looked into other alternatives as Samba can sometimes be a pain to configure. It's also yet another service to run on the XS. I found an sshfs utility for Windows called Dokan. And it's free for non-commercial purposes! This might make more sense than fooling with Samba, especially if you only have one Windows machine to deal with. The Dokan library and Doken SSHFS packages are at http://dokan-dev.net/en/download/. I also had to install the Microsoft Visual C++ package mentioned on that site, the .NET Framework (which was 55 MB), and Windows Installer 3.1. There's a nice GUI to enter in your ssh login info and mount points. I connected and now /home/anna on the XS is mounted read/write on N: on an XP machine.

Hi Martin, It works but you have to run through the procedure below each time you start the XOs up with the server. - I have to log onto ejabberd web admin with all XOs turned off and delete all users (time consuming for a class of 40) and then start them up.
