Hi Rueben,
Hope you had a nice time over Christmas and new Year! Sorry to bring this down to earth again...but life goes on.. J I have reinstalled a fresh install. On starting, the server now shows OLPC School Server release 9-0.5 Kernel 2.6.27.7-53.fc9.i686 on an i686 (tty1) Everything done exactly as below. The XS has been configured and Online roster created, server restarted. eJabberd running. The XOs have been de-registered and rebooted, and then registered, and rebooted. This is what happens when they have started up: (1) All four XOs are connected (2) All have been registered - i.e. it told me "registration successful" (3) olpc-netstatus shows that all are running Telepathy type gabble, but the numbers of XOs shown varies from 3 to 5 on the XOs and the corresponding incomplete population on the neighbourhood screen. The school server is correctly shown, and config is shown as "school mesh" on all four. (4) Check - ejabberd running OK (5) After a period of 30 mins, no change. I shut down 3 XOs and check Web admin - it shows all four XOs registered. (6) I reboot everything inc server. After allowing a few minutes, I check: ejabberd is running, all four XOs are connected, olpc-netstatus shows them all running Telepathy gabble, school mesh, but XO = 2 (i.e. server and XO). Neighbourhood screen remains unpopulated, even after 10 minutes. (7) Video chat starts up OK but you don't see any other XOs initially. However, after 5 minutes some of the other XOs do start to appear on Video Chat - even though they are not shown in the network view, and it is not reliable or symmetric - i.e. XO-1 might see XO-2 but not vice versa. This might be an important clue or symptom of what is happening The work around is as before: (1) Shut down all but one XO, log on to ejabberd Web Admin and delete all users, reboot everything. (2) Start everything up and it works fine (as you can see on Youtube), but only for that session - I have to do this procedure each time to get it working.. and even then you can't be sure of 100% collaboration between the four XOs The identical equipment all works fine with XS-0.4 David Leeming Technical Advisor, People First Network, Honiara, Solomon Islands Alternative email address: leemingda...@yahoo.com.au From: Reuben Caron [mailto:caron.reu...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Reuben K.

Can you attempt to perform a clean install again with edits in line below.

You can check it's status by running: service ejabberd status - ejabberdctl register admin schoolserver.oceania.org admin With a fresh install of 0.5.1 dev 3 you don't need the following from here --> - restart - yum --enablerepo=olpcxs-testing update - restart to here <-- - One one of 4 XOs, log onto ejabberd web admin and set up shared roster "Online" - restart - start all four XOs and register, then restart On the XOs are registering from a fresh OS install, 8.2? If the XOs have been previously registered; you will need to clean out their registration by removing the server fields in /home/olpc/.sugar/default/config. After removing these fields; restart the XOs Then connect the XOs to the appropriate SSID or AA. Then register the XO. Then restart the XO. I hope this helps. Please let us know. At this stage I cannot see any other XO, and still had to do the work around of removing all four users from the ejabberd webadmin and restarting everything before I could see them in the neighbourhood views. (as advised by Martin): (Martin wrote...) To avoid re-installing the XS to re-test the "just registered" scenario you can - go with a webbrowser to the ejabberd admin panel, go into the 'schoolserver' vhost listed there and delete all the users registered - restart ejabberd - restart the laptops This happens each time a laptop is restarted. However, once all going, it is fine: - All four show up in the eJabberd control panel as users - All have the same correct results for olpc-netstatus - I tried sharing Memorize - all four OK - Video chat is OK between any two - Server access and Internet browsing all OK (updated them each online) Log attached David Leeming Technical Advisor, People First Network, Honiara, Solomon Islands Alternative email address: leemingda...@yahoo.com.au From: Reuben Caron [mailto:caron.reu...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Reuben K.

Are you upgrading or doing this from fresh install? If upgrade from what previous version? If from fresh install can you give more detail to the exact steps you are performing? (pardon me if you provided this information earlier; I quickly reviewed the archive and could not find anything) Reuben Martin Langhoff wrote: On Mon, Dec 29, 2008 at 10:04 PM, David Leeming <mailto:leem...@pipolfastaem.gov.sb> <mailto:leem...@pipolfastaem.gov.sb> <mailto:leem...@pipolfastaem.gov.sb> <leem...@pipolfastaem.gov.sb> wrote: It works but you have to run through the procedure below each time you start the XOs up with the server. Hmmm, well, that's definitely not normal procedure! - I have to log onto ejabberd web admin with all XOs turned off and delete all users (time consuming for a class of 40....) and then start them up. Then it will work fine and the neighbourhood screens populate, until you want to start again. Next time you start everything up, you will not see the other XOs, until the procedure is repeated. I suspect there's something else happening there... on the server there should be a log for ejabberd, /var/log/ejabberd.log I think. Can you post it to the list or to me? That should give us something to chew on... cheers, m -- Reuben K.
