[Server-devel] XS Community Edition 0.3 (Release Candidate 1)

Mon May 20 05:29:53 EDT 2013

Some XSCE Release 1 testing outcomes. Some happy news.

1. Registration went OK for 12.1, 13.1 on XO-1.75, Soas-Fedora17 and Dextrose3 (XO-1)

2. Autologin works for all of them into Moodle (http://schoolserver.local/moodle).

3. /usr/bin/ds-backup.sh works for 12.1, 13.1 (new patch applied). New files seen in the /library/users/

4. Not sure what is needed for SoAS (is there a ds-backup.sh file?) or Dextrose3 (Bld 96 Dextrose International). In Dextrose always get Failed Error - Call Process: [None] when I click on the Journal Backup/Restore commands. 

5. As usual clicking on the "backup" on Moodle gives the "This user has no backup data yet (or data compatbility) ". Will this ever work ?

>> Great work. I installed the XSCE on a Class 10 SD card today to run on a XO1.75. Still get a blank screen towards the end of the installation. Connection seems working well so far. Manage to connect a bunch of XO to test. Tested two registration and was able to autologin to Moodle on OS 12.1.0 but not on a 13.1.0.
