Re: [Sugar-devel] Journal Backup/Restore UI
I'm a bit confused, is the problem reliable full restore with limited local space or the DS having the xapian DB open while the copy happens? Or both? Thanks, Tomeu On Fri, Mar 26, 2010 at 00:51, Bernie Innocenti ber...@codewiz.org wrote: In Paraguay, we started discussing the topic of improving backup and restore procedures. Let's compare notes with a wider audience. We started from an existing backup/restore procedure written by Daniel Drake one year ago. It's meant to be invoked from the Terminal and uses a transactional approach: 1) the technician runs a script to restore the journal from the school server into a temporary directory while Sugar is still running; 2) then, you restart Sugar (by killing the sugar-shell process); 3) on startup, the olpc-session script notices the temporary directory and replaces the datastore with it almost atomically. The problem with this approach was that it only works as long as there's a enough free space in the filesystem, which is rarely the case with laptops that are actually in use. Transactional behavior would be good to have, but I don't see how we could implement it reliably. Even an rsync in-place would have to be done with --delete-before to ensure it works all the time. This opens the question of how we stop the datastore from accessing the journal and mess it up while we're still updating it. We're currently doing it quite a gross way: kill the datastore process before beginning the restore, then restart Sugar: http://trac.paraguayeduca.org/browser/scripts/os-modifications/diario-restaurar We'll thoroughly test this new kludge tomorrow. I'm confident it will work, but it's a shame that users need to call tech support in order to restore a backup. Perhaps it's time to add integrated backup/restore functionality to the datastore itself, with a nice UI in the Journal or in the control panel. The underlying mechanism could be as simple as the one we're testing now, but with proper synchronization with the datastore and no need to restart Sugar. Shall we go on and write a feature page, targeting 0.90? If it's done as a control panel item, it may be sufficiently self-contained to backport it all the way back to 0.84. For the time being, I might add the backup and restore scripts to olpc-utils. Or, better, create a new sugar-utils package for these things that are generally useful on any platform.

Though we need to figure out how to glue it to the rsync back-end. The easy part is binding rsync to Python: this was already done in duplicity by wrapping librsync with simple C and Python code which we could steal. Then it starts to get hard: the files are probably going to come down from the xs in some random order. librsync provides a sophisticated callback interface, but there seems to be also a whole-file interface. This approach also opens other interesting possibilities such as restoring individual files or merging the backup with the current journal contents. However, it looks like it would take a couple of months of effort to get something like this done.

Re: unable to share Activities on XO-1.5
G'day Adam, http://laptop.org/7.1.0/gettingstarted/sharing.shtml is correct as far as it goes, and is the method I've used to test sharing between two XO-1.5 running os116. I didn't experience any difficulty, but the sharing does depend on the environment. I've had it working via ad-hoc Create new wireless network and via access point. I've no cable available. There are several ways it can fail, but the sample problem report suggests that a slow or lossy network (Abiword in two minutes) was the main problem. The usual causes of a slow or lossy network are radiofrequency interference or other wireless traffic nearby. I'd like to know if the XO-1 was tested in the same location and at the same time, and if so whether the XO-1's were configured or had settled on mesh channel 1.

I re-read the spec and mockups. Looks like a fantastic start. Brief comments - For closed groups managed by Moodle/XS, it would make things easier for teacher if we could to read a URL from the group description field, and show an icon that links there (opening Browse.xo...) - The user management for closed groups already exists in Moodle (but looks moodlish instead of Sugarish). This is in case Tomeu is lazy ;-) 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
Re: [Server-devel] Schools Wikipedia
What's the best way to automate this, so it starts up when the XS is started without the need for people to enter the python server command line? Hi, The current Wikipedia activities already work as web servers on the XS, and require much less space due to the content being compressed -- for Spanish, 25,000 articles and 3,000 images in 100MB. David pointed out that this isn't actually documented anywhere. :) Here's the HOWTO. On a fresh XS, for English WP: $ wget http://dev.laptop.org/~cjb/enwiki/WikipediaEN-4.xo $ unzip WikipediaEN-4.xo $ cd WikipediaEN.activity/ $ python server.py en_US_g1g1/en_US_g1g1.xml.bz2 4567 then you can browse to http://schoolserver:4567/ on an XO or other machine. For Spanish, get http://dev.laptop.org/~cjb/eswiki/Wikipedia-11.xo and replace en_US_g1g1 with es_PE. - Chris. -- Chris Ball c...@laptop.org One Laptop Per Child ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
[Server-devel] changing the admin XO
Is it possible to change the XO that is registered as the admin XO in Moodle easily? David Leeming ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
Re: [Server-devel] Moodle en español
2010/3/25 Kevin Mauricio Benavides Castro kmbc141...@gmail.com: como puedo hacer para cambiar el lenguaje de moodle a español por que algunos profesores no entienden mucho el ingles ya que cuando acceden tiene el lenguaje en ingles ? Si entras a Moodle como el usuario admin (mira en la página de configuraciones y técnicas en el wiki para ver cómo se hace), en las opciones de administración puedes pedirle que instale el language pack español. Después de eso, cambiás el idioma default de esa instalación de Moodle y... listo! saludos, 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
