[Server-devel] Backup of laptops
Hi all, I've got the XO 767 image rolled out to about 80 laptops, between 3 sites all with the 0.4 server image. I'm not sure why, but _none_ of the servers are receiving backups from the clients. I've tried following the instructions to debug the issue, but am not getting any error messages from either the server or the clients. It just silently fails. My question is, has anyone got this working? Any ideas how I can fix it? It appears that the backups worked once, and then never again. The clients create the ~/.sugar/default/lock/ds-backup.run file but then nothing happens and the file remains, so of course then the backup script never runs again as the lock file still exists. This is a real pain as I need to have these backups for oversight of the children, and it is a high profile trial. Any ideas? Should I just upgrade to 0.5 on the server?

Re: Major power concern
Hi all, On Thu, 2 Oct 2008 20:41:15 -0700, Robert Howard [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From my reading of your description you ran the 765 and 711 test on 2 different machines and did not swap the battery between machines. Is this correct? If so there is a flaw in the methodology. You should ideally run all tests on the same machine with the same battery or at least use the same battery in both machines for the test. I did the same test for 765 on two new machines with almost identical results. The 765p and 711 tests were for comparison and I know I need to do further testing but wanted to raise the flag asap considering the image is to be released soon and his could be a big issue. This was advised on #olpc. To determine if it is a battery problem follow the instructions for using opc-pwr-log. (This should be pre-installed on 757). The instructions are at: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XO_LiFePO4_Recovery_Procedure Will do and will post results.

[Server-devel] ds-backup - help with a trial happening right now
Hi all, I am in the middle of a largish trial, 500 children, and wanted to get the backup going. Michael Stone was great to help me understand where ds-backup is up to and I'm keen to install, test and contribute to the ds-backup project however I'm rolling out 703 imaged laptops as we need them to the stable for this deploymeent and apparently the software doesn't work on 703. Can anyone help me out with this? The trial is the first 100% saturation in the world, and as I am leaving in 2 days I was hoping to have it fairly done by the time I leave, hwoever I can always return if necessary or work with the local people to make updates. I'm on the IRC #olpc and #sugar channels on freenode as email here is really hard/slow. Many thanks!
