Re: Fresh reinforcement - ESA SOCIS 2012

 

Hello Dider,

Nice to meet you :) I'm really happy to be a part of this project. It
combines few different areas of my education background and previous work
experience and it's space related.
Don't worry every one deserve for holidays. Last weekend I was invited for
a weeding in the other corner of Poland. All trip took me 3 days. Sorry for
delay.

When you were away I receive some start-up package from Julien Bernard
which I'm grateful. I had an occasion to build some additional computers
for my lab (you can check the attached photo) and of course dig myself into
ubuntu linux and documentation of OpenSAND platform. At the moment I'm
working on my own test infrastructure supported with Ubuntu Virtual
Machines (based on Oracle Virtual Box but I consider VMware as well). My
test infrastructure is build on my Dell inspiron e1505 laptop (Intel core
duo 1,87 GHz with 2GB of RAM) which is a main host. Additional two
computers are desktops with independently installed Ubuntu VM. One is based
on Intel Core 2 Duo uP and the other one on AMD Atholn 64 X2 platform and
they both have 2 GB of RAM. I use virtual machines for purpose of testing.
At the moment I have enough hardware to install basic test bed (SAT, GW,
SE) on the separate machines but virtual test infrastructure which is a
first step is not fully ready. All because some issues during the
installation process.

My attempts with "Installation manuals" have some results to share. First
of all I came to conclusion that writing bunch of emails with all possible
questions regarding installation manual is a bit pointless. I know that
this documentation is not perfect but it's definitely good enough to start
working and look for some answer in ubuntu related forums. That was good
for basic problems. Now I enter the dark section where I need some
guidance.

So I tried installation form debian packages and from a source code
uploaded through bazaar. Straight Installation from downloaded debian
packages failed because of missing libgse package I eventually found it
inside GSE project packages. My attempts to run demon through suggested
command line failed as well. Through addition libgse_1.0.1_i386.deb
packgace to the set of downloaded packages I achieved successful
compilation but there was an issue with IPv6 during automated network
configuration. I used the reconfiguration command and this time demon was
successfully setup with default values. My next step was to compile manager
which was success thanks to previously downloaded libgse. Unfortunately I'm
not able to run manager itself. Issue is listed dawn below where I put the
relevant log section.

My attempts to compile sources according to manual at the moment are mainly
focus on peaching missing libraries but I'll put the final outcome in the
next email.

In order to answer your question about my name. My Polish name is Jedrzej
but I found realy difficult for foreigners to spell it correctly so I
picked up a nick name - Andy/Andrew, to make everyone life easier. In
English it is the closest name to Jedrzej that you can find. In general I
use Jedrzej only in Poland. Abroad I'm known as Andy. I give you guys right
to chose.

With kind regards,

Jedrzej
