What to test?

Today's installment of Fedora Test Day will focus on Sugar on a Stick.

Who's available

Prerequisite for Test Day

Don't use your FAS password
This is just a demo instance to demonstrate a new reporting mechanism. It is advized that you do not use your FAS password. Feel free to create a new account, but do not use a password used for other important websites.

How to test?

  1. Download livecd-iso-to-disk.sh and soas-2-beta.iso as noted in #Prerequisite for Test Day.
  2. Verify that you downloaded the correct file by running sha1sum on the soas-2-beta.iso file. The results should look similar to those noted below 
    

    dd89abc211d458997e759105c40576fccf91e2154f884ee8df0888bd647b9988  soas-2-beta.iso
    3. 

  3. As the root user, write the live image to your USB device by executing the following command:

    

    bash livecd-iso-to-disk.sh --unencrypted-home --home-size-mb 50 --overlay-size-mb 150 --format --reset-mbr soas-2-beta.iso /dev/sdx1






Mileage may vary
The livecd-iso-to-disk.sh command provides many parameters to fine tune your live image.  The most important parameter is the last parameter; the block device.  Be sure you are specifying the block device of your USB key ... and not your hard drive.  Additional guidance is available at How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB.




Test Cases


Don't forget ...


  • In case you haven't used this wiki before, you might need to create an account before being able to login. When you're asked to login, click on Create Account and enter your FAS information, with which you should be able to submit your reports then.
    • 

  • To add your smolt profile, start the Terminal Activity, once having logged in to Sugar and become root. You can execute then smoltSendProfile and submit your profile ID.
    • 

  • In the Install Media section, please provide us with your USB key's name & model!


Test Cases






Attention
The way of installing in test case (3) is still in an early development phase and may wipe drives!




  1. Boot SoaS

    • Put SoaS on a USB key using the instructions above.
      • 

    • Insert USB key and boot for the first time: tell us how it goes!
      • 

    • Try rebooting several times and report if you encountered any issues, i.e. whether the boot process got unreliable.
    2. 

  2. Sugar Testing

    • Boot into Sugar!
      • 

    • Run three different Activities and report which ones you tried.

      • 

    • Reboot your machine and report if the general installation succeeded
