Martin, Here is some info to help you trace the problem.
Hardware XS: Toshiba Tecra A3 model PTA20A Hardware XO: 2 x XO-C2, 2 x XO-B4 Wireless: Active antenna OLPC S/R 009 black box prototype type USB device PROCEDURE: - 0.5 version downloaded on 19/11/08 (note if there is an update this might be significant, it is difficult to download 500MB in this region) - revert to 0.4 and check all is OK (check) - install 0.5 from kickstart - Guadalcanal time zone - System clock not using UTC - Basic install - no add ons CONNECTED BUT NOT YET REGISTERED I repeated a test three times: reboot and wait 5 minutes, check neighbourhood view, run olpc-netstatus and check eJabberd Wed Admin for stats, then try sharing Memorise activity and Video Chat (which requires registration). After each test I checked again the netstatus Results (all 3 tests): - All four XOs connect to the server on rebooting - Neighbourhood views become fully populated on all four XOs within 3 minutes. - olpc-netstatus has Telepathy=salut, Jabber=(blank), XOs=5, Essid=olpc-mesh, Channel=1, School=school.oceania.org, Config=School Mesh - eJabberd Admin > Stats shows one user (admin) and no online users - Sharing is working with Memorize (even though no XOs registered)!!! - Sharing not working with Video Chat (Telepathy error - as expected) - Netstatus remains stable throughout the tests as above I now registered and rebooted all the four XOs and tried same tests (without rebooting the server / without restarting eJabberd) CONNECTED AND REGISTERED - eJABBERD NOT RESTARTED Test as above, but I gave it more time (up to 20 mins) Results (3 tests) - All XOs connect after rebooting - Neighbourhood view does NOT become populated - olpc-netstatus (after 15 mins) on all XOs has Telepathy=gabble, Jabber=school.oceania.org (not scholserver.oceania.org) XOs=2 (i.e. that XO and the XS only), Essid=olpc-mesh, Channel=1, School=school.oceania.org, Config=School Mesh - eJabberd Admin > Stats shows five users (inc admin) and 4 online users - Sharing does NOT work with Memorize (no icon in neighbourhood view on the other XOs, cannot invite as no XOs in view) - Video Chat starts OK but no other XO running it can be seen, so sharing NOT working CONNECTED AND REGISTERED - eJABBERD RESTARTED No different from above _______________________________________________ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
