Hi, Had some time on my hand this week to try out XSCE in a virtual environment. It actually worked out pretty well, and now there's a working appliance. Here's the three step XSCE demo!
*Step #1 - Download and install Virtualbox* - Head to https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads to download the Virtualbox package for your OS. - Install instructions may vary for different platforms but should be pretty straightforward. *Step #2 - Download and install the XSCE appliance* - Download the XSCE Virtualbox appliance from here https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3eW2YPe6koIVXRVbDhSR0xXQ1U (approx 1.6 GB) - *[optional]* Verify the md5sum to see if the image is not corrupt - 56a4f141b564b0d2bd65c543a5e585c6 - Open Virtualbox. Go to File -> Import Appliance. - A dialog will appear asking you to "Open Appliance" - Select the file you just downloaded "b_1364170741.ova" - Click "Next" and then click "Import" - A new virtual machine will get created *Step #3 - Play!* - Start the virtual machine just created. It will open a window, and an OS will appear to boot. - Wait till it boots. Once it has booted, a login prompt will appear in a text console. Your XSCE is now up and ready! - To test/demo, on the host OS (i.e., the one where you are running the virtualbox software in) open a browser - XSCE homepage: http://localhost:3380/ - From the homepage you should be able to navigate to Internet In A Box. This image contains a test dataset. - The link to the moodle homepage will NOT work. To access moodle, go to http://localhost:3380/moodle/login/index.php. I am not able to login, and there seems some issue with the homepage loading. - Administrative GUI: http://localhost:9990 (username=root, password=admin) - Server monitoring tool - Munin: http://localhost:3380/munin(username=admin, password=munindxs) - To check the authserver, go to http://localhost:5000/ (It will probably say "No Sugar platform detected, please register your laptop") *Notes:* - This is only meant to be a quick demo to see what an XSCE is on your laptop/PC. - I didn't setup root login (or atleast don't know the password to it). So you won't be able to login to the XSCE once it's running. Should not be a huge issue just for end-user demo purposes. - This is just a weekend hack, I did based on a Vagrantfile supplied by Santi. At this moment, this is not officially supported or anything (but as far as I know in my testing, it works!) - If this is a useful thing to maintain (based on feedback to this thread :-) ) I (or somebody else) can propose this as a feature for 0.5/6. So there are officially supported demo appliances. - A wiki page is in the works. Please try it out and let me know what you think of it! Thanks, Anish
