XS Community Edition/0.4/Testing

XSCE Smoke Test

This set of test cases represents a quick smoke test that a build should pass. Please file bugs at https://sugardextrose.org/projects/xsce/issues

Ejabberd Web Interface ???

This isn't necessary for testing, but is fun to poke around in:

Register the admin user: ejabberdctl register admin schoolserver.local <password>

In a browser, go to http://schoolserver.local:5280/admin

The username is admin@schoolserver.local and the password is whatever you set above.

Using Pidgin to Monitor Ejabberd

When testing the XSCE, it can be helpful to see at a glance which XO clients have successfully connected to the ejabberd server. Pidgin is a cross platform XMPP client you can use to connect to the schoolserver's ejabberd server from any Windows/Linux/Mac computer. Connected XO clients will appear in the Buddy List.

In the Buddy List window, go to Accounts -> Manage Accounts. Click Add.

In the Basic tab under Login Options, enter the following values:

Protocol:  XMPP
Username:  yourname
Domain: schoolserver.local
Resource: pidgin
Password: yourpassword

Check "Remember password"

In the Advanced tab, enter the following values:

Connection security: Use old-style SSL
Connect port: 5223
Connect server: schoolserver.local

At the very bottom of the "Modify Account" window, check "Create this new account on the server." Click Add, then a registration box will pop up. Click Register, then you should get a pop up box that registration was successful. Click close. In the Accounts box, click the tick box in the "Enabled" column next to your username. If a box pops up for the server certificate, click Accept.

Now in the Buddy List, you should see the XOs that are currently connected to the XSCE's ejabberd server.

Internet in Box - Pending Braddock

Prerequisites.

1. You need an Internet-In-A-Box hard drive. If used with the XO-1.5, the external hard drive requires a powered USB Hub to power up properly.
