Install Testing
Preparing a stick or CD for smoke testing
- This is the first Phase of testing:
- sticks can be made using many methods:
- USB-scr =./livecd-iso-to-disk
- USB-LC = fedora Liveusb-creator (Windows/Linux)
- USB-Un = Unetbootin (Windows/Linux)
- CD = Booted from CD (burn the .iso to a CD)
- SC = SugarClone [3]
- Advanced methods for experts only NOT USED FOR REGULAR TESTING
- ZYX = zyx-liveinstaller install to USB- requires double the size of USB min 4Gb recommended 8 GB
- liveinst = (Anaconda) install to USB- requires double the size of USB min 4Gb recommended 8 GB
- dd = dd write.iso file to USB-
USB-scr =./livecd-iso-to-disk
This is a test using the script livecd-iso-to-disk
- 1. Download to you desktop the weekly Nightly Compose of soas.spin :http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/test/
- Download also to your desktop if you have not done so before http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/livecd-iso-to-disk.sh
- 2. In terminal change directory to your desktop:
- cd /home/Desktop
- enter the command:
- mount
- You should see the USBdevice name ie: /dev/sdb, /dev/sdc, /dev/sdd etc. Write it down
- THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT as if you enter this wrong you can DISTROY your HARD DISK Install. DO NOT USE /dev/sda EVER
- Unless you have NO HARD_DISK in your computer
- HINT: copy the following commands to a text editor first. Then edit them and be certain that they are correct. Then copy-paste into the terminal.
- (--format --reset-mbr)This will overwrite everything on your USB.
- enter the commands:
- sudo su
- ./livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 800 /home/xxx/Desktop/soas-i386-20100xxx.xx.iso /dev/sd(x)
- (x)=this is your device name for the USB found above with mount command.
- --overlay-size-mb 800 for 2 GB USB
- --overlay-size-mb 1200 for 4 GB USB
- USB is formatted fat16 ( overlay has to be <2000 for fat16 )
- Example Write to USB:
::xxx@xxxxx:~$ sudo su [sudo] password for xxxx: root@xxxxxx:/home/xxxxx # cd Desktop root@xxxxxx:/home/xxxx/Desktop# ./livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 1200 /home/xxxx/Desktop/soas-i386-20100xxx.xx.iso /dev/sd(x) Verifying image... ./livecd-iso-to-disk: line 385: checkisomd5: command not found Are you SURE you want to continue? Press Enter to continue or ctrl-c to abort WARNING: THIS WILL DESTROY ANY DATA ON /dev/sdg!!! Press Enter to continue or ctrl-c to abort Waiting for devices to settle... mkdosfs 3.0.1 (23 Nov 2008) Copying live image to USB stick Updating boot config file Initializing persistent overlay file 1200+0 records in 1200+0 records out 1258291200 bytes (1.3 GB) copied, 284.256 s, 4.4 MB/s Installing boot loader USB stick set up as live image! root@xxxxx:/home/xxxx/Desktop#
- 3. Remove USB and place in Netbook USB Slot
- 4. Boot from it
- 5, Begin Smoke Tests [4]
USB-LC = fedora Liveusb-creator (Windows/Linux)
- Download Liveusb-creator https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/
- How to use liveusb-creator fedora:FedoraLiveCD/USBHowTo fedora:How to create and use Live USB#Graphical Method - Windows or Fedora
- Begin Smoke Tests [5]
USB-Un = Unetbootin (Windows/Linux)
- Web Page: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
- unetbootinwindows471.exe http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/unetbootin-windows-latest.exe
- unetbootinlinux471 http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/unetbootin-linux-latest/
- Unetbootin Command_line (Advanced) http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/unetbootin/wiki/commands
- Begin Smoke Tests [6]
CD = Booted from CD
- burn the Test Soas.iso to a CD with a disk burning program
- boot From the CD
- Note there will be no persistence
- Your settings and colors will not be retained when you reboot from the CD
- Begin Smoke Tests [7]
dd = direct install to USB
- This is the simplest and fastest method to make a non-persistent Soas USB.
- NOT A RECOMMENDED INSTALL METHOD
- It is quite dangerous to use and is ONLY FOR ADVANCED USERS
- One error in typing can destroy your Hardisk formatting with no error warnings.
- Sample Install to USB
root@xxxx:/home/xxxx/Desktop# dd if=soas-i386-20100702.15.iso of=/dev/sdg 974848+0 records in 974848+0 records out 499122176 bytes (499 MB) copied, 137.931 s, 3.6 MB/s root@xxxx:/home/xxxx/Desktop#
- Note that the entire write takes slightly more than 2 minutes.
- Great way to make an installer USB if you have no CD/DVD on your netbook
Smoke-testing a SoaS stick or CD
- The Second phase of Testing begins:
- USB or CD Boots to Name______ screen
- then Color_______screen (click on XO Avitar to change colors till you like color combos.)
- hit enter
- F3 Circle of Activities Appears with your avitar in center.
- Point mouse cursor at Avitar XO and hit right mouse button-Menu appears, select "My Settings"
- Control Panel Appears. Test each of the applications on Control Panel to see that they work
- Exit Control Panel with X in top right corner
- Hit F1 Key (or move mouse cursor to right top corner of white part of screen, a black frame appears on window, select the left circle with many dots and click mouse)
- Screen changes and you avitar becomes much smaller
- Do other avitars appear after 1-2 minutes? (If so you are seeing other sugar instances in your neighborhood)
- Point mouse cursor at your Avitar XO in the center of the screen and hit right mouse button. Drop-Down Menu appears select "Shutdown"
- Sugar Exits and shuts down computer.
- Reboot (skip this step for CD), You should boot directly to the f3 screen with the Circle of Activities and your avitar in center with the Correct colors.
- Point mouse cursor at your Avitar XO in the center of the screen and hit right mouse button. Drop-Down Menu appears select "Shutdown"
- Sugar Exits and shuts down computer.
- Test Is Complete.
Enter your results in Test Table.
Thank You for testing

- KEY
- USB-scr =./livecd-iso-to-disk --format --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 1200 soas-i386-20100xxx.xx.iso /dev/sd(x)
- USB-LC = fedora Liveusb-creator
- USB-Un = Unetbootin
- CD = Booted from CD NO PERSISTENCE
- ZYX = zyx-liveinstaller install to USB- requires double the size of USB min 4Gb recommended 8 GB (not on .iso, requires yum install zyx-liveinstaller gparted)
- liveinst = (Anaconda) install to USB- requires double the size of USB min 4Gb recommended 8 GB
- dd = dd write.img file to USB NO PERSISTENCE
- Soas Boots,Starts and Stops Correctly
- P=Pass
- F=Fail
- note: I am also using an external USB 500GB hard drive with an daily updated f14(rawhide) install of Gnome-sugar as a livecd-creator-soas.ks build system.
- I use this to compare with the daily builds
- these results are marked below as ***.remix
