Yes, the schoolserver is not supposed to have a GUI. It is usually managed from remote thorough ssh or cluster management tools such as Puppet. > Bernie, is there no online school-server available where I can connect > to and check? There's schoolserver.sugarlabs.org, but it doesn't accept registration from remote, for security reasons. The easier way to debug this is installing the idmgr package on any Fedora box and then trick the XO into connecting to it by pointing the "schoolserver" hostname at it. > Findings on Bug #1976: > - Initially I was not able to track whether the jabber_server we are > setting is actually being set or not.

No, what I meant is that the code shoould use "schoolserver" as the registration hostname in case the GConf key is unset or an empty string. Currently, there are two distinct codepaths: one for the XO and one for regular laptops. We want only case that works the same for both. The only difference in the XO case will be that we use the serial number and uuid from the Open Firmware manufacturing data. -- // Bernie Innocenti - http://codewiz.org/ \X/ Sugar Labs - http://sugarlabs.org/ _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
