Topic: eyeOS on SME7?

[lo1504]

I got the actual tar-archive of eyeOS (eyeos.org) installed in an ibay named eyeos. The installation worked, but i can't add any other applications. I changed the owner of all files to www:shared , accessmode to rw vor everyone but again, i'm not able to add any other application. Also i didn't get any errormsg in messages or http logs. Any hint?

Thanks for your help ...

Sory but i can't help you for the moment.

I will try to install and test it.

Sorry I am not of much help here, but mine is working just fine. Read the docs, I clearly remember having to set some permissions on various dirs.  There is nothing to it, just fiddle  

[martz]

installing extra apps seems to be an issue here too.  the quick install guide tells you to chmod 777 on the /etc dir but nothing else.

maybe looking at the security manual would be a good idea after all  i have eyeOS running in a password protected ibay.

I was wondering if someone could post more complete instructions and any additional information useful. I want to install on my home server for the kids to use and play with. Also, I might want to deploy it at a school for use. I have been using sme for a couple of years, however when it comes to the command line stuff I am just starting to learn. I could not even find the ibay from the command line.

I could not even find the ibay from the command line.

cd /home/e-smith/files/ibays/ibayname/html
(replace ibayname with the name of the ibay you want)

Also at the prompt type
mc
to run midnight commander, which is a very good file manager tool, but be careful, you can easily do a lot of damage to your file structure by making unconsidered, inadvertant  & accidental changes. Learn how to use it and understand the ramifications of any changes you make, if in doubt DON'T !

Hi,

Very nice program... Very easy to install...
I was unable to add apps with IE7 but Firefox works better with it.

[edit] Added simple howto to install it in /opt
Login as root and type:

Code: [Select]

# wget "http://puzzle.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/eyeos/eyeOS_1.1.0.1.tar.gz"
# tar -xzf eyeOS_1.1.0.1.tar.gz -C /opt
# chown -R root:www /opt/eyeOS
# chmod 770 /opt/eyeOSThen create a file in /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and name it 98eyeOS. Paste the following in the file:

Code: [Select]


# eyeOS
Alias /eyeOS /opt/eyeOS
<Directory /opt/eyeOS>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .phtml
SSLRequireSSL on
AllowOverride all
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
php_admin_value open_basedir /opt/eyeOS/
</Directory>

Please watch the blank begining and ending lines !

Then open your web browser (firefox is recommended) at https://yourdomain.com/eyeOS/install.php and do the install...
That's all ! Now you can connect to https://yourdomain.com/eyeOS

How do I make it accessible from the internet.

I can only access it here https://hserver/eyeOS/

this one https://altitude.selfip.com/eyeOS/ does not work. what do I need to do to get it to work.

the hostname I chose was altitude.selfip.com/eyeos during installation. that does not work either.

If I go to that link I get your sign in screen.

If you want me to go further, contact me off list and provide a user id and password I could try to get beyond that point.

This is a follow-up...

I created a new account 'jhobbs' and went in.

It looks pretty good. And your response time is much better than the eyeOS demo site.

You should probably delete my account now.

Well, I be dammed (in a southern accent). I do not know what happened. Oh, you know what, I forgot to open the https port on my router for the webmail, maybe that did it.

It could just be that it took a while for the SME DNS to take (I have found it sometimes takes more than an hour -- and in the interim you think you have done something wrong).

Also, you might want to password protect the site. You don't want everyone and his dog making free use of your resources.

I am going to save that for another day. I have not read the documentation yet, so I do not know how to delete anyone  yet. I was looking for a thin client solution for a customer. It is just one of the many products I am evaluating. I tried the thinclient contrib but could not figure out how to load the desktop enviorments.

I tried the thinclient contrib but could not figure out how to load the desktop environments.

That contrib is just a mechanism for deploying the desktop images (not building/using them). You either need to use the prepackaged ThinStation from my old contrib area or generate a pxe bootable image from one of the other thinclient distributions.

Have you read my usage instructions in the wiki? Although it won't teach you about pxelinux...

Good Luck

Also, have you looked at another thread where they are deploying ltsp images from smeserver
