[Server-devel] Issue with 2 B4s and a C2

[David Leeming]

Hi Martyn,

75 other C2s are awaiting customs clearance so I should be able to check it
it's a case of bad antennas next week.

Attached is the tarball requested, from the XO, plus /var/log/messages from
the server

That might be dodgy antenna connectors :-(

 - does that machine network correctly otherwise?
 - have you got any other C2 machine to test? Can we ship you another
machine?

 - control-alt-f1 to get to the root shell console
 - execute the olpc-netlog command - it will create a file called
logs.<serialnumber>.<date>.tar.bz
 - plug a usb stick to the machine, wait a few seconds, it'll show up
in the /media/ directory under a made up name
 - copy the file there from the commandline:
   cp logs.XXXXX-YYYY.tar.bz2 /media/ZZZZZ/

and then you can unmount the disk (do that from the journal). Take the
usb disk to another machine, and email it :-)

cheers,
