This page describes how to test each application installed on the Live GIS Disc. Application test steps describe how an Ubuntu user who is unfamiliar an application can try it out and confirm that everything has been installed correctly within 5 minutes. Test Results document when the application was last verified to be working.

This page is maintained at: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc_Testing and copied onto each release of the LiveDVD.

maptiler

For example /usr/local/share/maptiler/utm.tif
Verify that ...

Alternative "real" geodata for testing are for example USGS maps or NOAA RNCs.

Another way to try it:

  1. Start MapTiler by clicking the icon on the Desktop
  2. Load in the second step example raster GEODATA (with georeference/srs)
  3. Go through all the steps with 'Next' up to the Render
  4. Once the render is finished you can click in the GUI to open a folder with tiles. When you open googlemaps.html or openlayers.html then you see your geodata warped to the overlay of popular interactive web maps as Google Maps.

The map tiles are displayed directly from your disk. To publish the map to Internet just upload the folder with tiles to any webserver or Amazon S3"

R

If it is possible please add steps here to test the included geostats packages, they are both more interesting and more likely to have problems in the build. tx

e.g. something with r-cran-maps(.deb), gstat, sp, rgdal, or spgrass6 ?
#Load a library
library(sp)
#list the demos available
demo()
#Run the demo from the sp package
#This will step you through several examples of code and the resulting plots

main documentation

Steps
Verify that the firefox web browser opens at file:///usr/local/share/livedvd-docs/index.thml
Verify that the browser opens with "Home", "Contents", "Contact and Support", "Tests", "Sponsors" tabs.
Verify the respective pages are opened.
Verify that each project is mentioned.
Verify that the project version numbers matches version numbers here: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Al9zh8DjmU_RdGIzd0VLLTBpQVJuNVlHMlBWSDhKLXc&hl=en_GB
Verify that when clicking on each project title, a description page is opened.
sudo apt-get install linkchecker
linkchecker /usr/local/share/livedvd-docs/index.html 2>&1 | tee /var/log/osgeo-live/linkchecker.log
Verify there are not errors in the log file

--disabled on purpose. --HB

The apt-get command failed because I was not connected to a network ( I'm not supposed to be connected to a network, apparently ) and also I was asked for a SUDO password which is not provided.

--sudo password now in welcome message --HB

The linkchecker could thus not be run as I was unable to acquire it


Windows Installers

Steps
Verify the installers are the same version number as the rest of the DVD, as listed at http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Al9zh8DjmU_RdGIzd0VLLTBpQVJuNVlHMlBWSDhKLXc&hl=en_GB
Verify the application installs without errors

System: Burned full DVD and Qemu-KVM
Version: 4.0rc9
Results: Pass with issues
/usr/local/share/ symlinks for both Mac and Windows installers are broken because /cdrom is a real file and not a symlink to /media/cdrom. Otherwise they seem to be correctly in place in the root dir of the DVD. This seems to be an Ubuntu 10.04 thing, only solution is to link to /cdrom instead of /media/cdrom in the install script.


Mac Installers

Steps
Verify the installers are the same version number as the rest of the DVD, as listed at http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Al9zh8DjmU_RdGIzd0VLLTBpQVJuNVlHMlBWSDhKLXc&hl=en_GB

- All seems to be working, except for /usr/local/share/*Installers symlinks, which are broken because /cdrom is a real dir and not a symlink to /media/cdrom. See also /etc/mtab vs. /etc/fstab.
