Martin, I ran : yum --enablerepo=olpcxs-testing update It downloaded overnight and I ran the upgrade this morning. It both seemed to work and seemed to fail. Failure: during the install of the kernal module there was an I/O error and I believe a second failure cat /etc/issue returns: OLPC School Server release 9-0.5.2 Kernel \r on an \m (\l) is this what I should see after update? Success: The install as a whole seems to have completed successfully. # uname -a returns Linux schoolserver.lccnjimeta.org 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 #1 SMP TH Jun 18 12:47:50 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux I am guessing that the fc9.686 means fedora 9? That would be success right? when I try to re-run the yum --enablerepo... again it returns: Setting up Upddate Process No Packages marked for Update After running the update ejabberd was still crashing when I started it. However, I hadn't followed the instructions for clearing out ejabberd yet from your first reply. I tried following those steps (after upgrading to .6) and they seem to have worked... The service runs now without crashing, I can ping schoolserver.lccnjimeta.org and 172.18.0.1 successfully #hostname -f returns schoolserver.lccnjimeta.org However, even though I can ping these from my laptop, I can't access the web based jabber interface. I'm certain that they are communicating further, because when I open http://172.18.01/ (without :5280/admin) it leads me to a page telling me that moodle is currently disabled. Any ideas?

Yes, you can segregate what XOs see in the neighbourhood view by moodle course membership. This is mainly useful when you have schools with more than ~50 XOs. Quick howto: 1 - Make sure you are using a recent Browse.xo (101 at least, I think) 2 - The first XO to register (reboot) and visit moodle successfully gets some extra rights (is an 'admin' of sorts). So get an XO reg'd and visiting Moodle -- it will auto-authenticate into Moodle.

In the long and confusing new course form, all you need to set is Full Name and Short Name. Please ignore every other option. Note: when it comes to enrolling, setup some courses for XOs you have registered already -- this is mainly to have something to work with! You can add more courses enrolments later. Might help: http://docs.moodle.org/en/Enrolment#Manual_enrolment 4 - In 'Site Administration', go to Courses-Presence Service, and set presencebycourse to Yes. 5 - Within 10 minutes, issuing the same ejabberdctl queries as above should show that Online has been replaced by several SRGs -- one per course.

We saw this message at boot, not sure if it's relevant: AICCU is not configured go to /etc/aiccu pssql now starts on boot, but we are still getting the same results when accessing: http://172.18.0.1/(moodle/) The result is a page stating: Moodle is disabled at the moment.

If the XS is on 0.5.x, and you can make a backup, I would strongly recommend yum --enablerepo=olpcxs-testing update which will bring updates from the Fedora-9 series (good!) and will upgrade your install to the latest XS-0.6 code (which is not yet formally released, but is significantly better than 0.5.x). This brings in a lot of enhancements, should not be a very large download (though maybe the Fedora-9 updates are a bit bulky). The main update affecting you is that it includes the new ejabberd that does everything magically. Once yum update is complete, you need to rerun your domain_config command. Just once. And reboot. cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
