Below's a quick tour of the Utilities menu resulting from Tim's hard work within http://<server>/admin on 2 very different Linux OS's.
Tests were attempted using XSCE 6.1 on RPi3 (Raspberry Pi 3), after some incredible prep/packaging work by Jerry Vonau & George Hunt on these 2 very different OS's. Keep in mind that both are OS's and XSCE integration are VERY new, so this is NOT a proper bakeoff while the dust is still settling, but rather just an early look at the differences for all! Comparing: 1) Jerry Vonau's XSCE 6.1 on the latest http://FedBerry.org (Fedora 25 release in coming weeks will be much the same) http://download.unleashkids.org/xsce/downloads/installer/rpi3/2F24-fed-lxqt-XSCE-armhfp.img.zip 2) George Hunt's XSCE 6.1 on the brand new "Raspbian Pixel" (OS from late September, that includes Chromium as default browser, making many things smoother than Epiphany for field tinkerers who don't have good connectivity to download Firefox etc) http://www.xsce.org/downloads/xsce-release-6.1/rpi/experimental/raspbian-v1-xsce-6.1.img.zip All tests used the Utilities menu within http://<server>/admin on the 2 systems above: - Change Password: *works (feedback missing if password change fails, e.g. if less than 8 characters etc)* - Display Job Status: *priceless after clicking "Install Configured Options" (during long Ansible jobs, keep clicking Refresh Status!*) - Display Command Log: *same as what you see on login to http://<server>/admin* - Admin Tools: - *XOVis: i've not yet enabled this.* - *Munin: what is the username and password? **(Raspbian shows "* *Forbidden"**)* - *AWStats: works!* - Display Ansible Facts: *works!* - Display XSCE.INI File: *works!* - Display System Memory: *works!* - Display System Storage: *doesn't show key partitions/space on Raspbian (compare "df -h" or results from a Fedora-like backend)* - Perform Internet Speed Test - Run 10M Speed Test: *works almost instantly, but results could clarify Mbits/sec or MBytes/sec?* - Run 100M Speed Test: *never responds, no matter how long I wait, worrisome as I have plenty of bandwdith on both cases :/ * - Run Ansible by Tag: *priceless, given that "Install Configured Options" (ansible) can sometimes take an hour or so to complete!* PS Take a quick tour of the Utilities menu by clicking on Help > Utilities within http://<server>/admin for a bit more context on some of the submenus above. More testing later as time permits!! -- Unsung Heroes of OLPC, interviewed live @ http://unleashkids.org
