FGss (Free Geek Specifications Sheet) is an application that will end up in FGdb eventually. Its job is to print out a nicely formatted report showing the specifications of the system.
Here are instructions for using the application in build:
- Start out as the user "oem" in the home directory. Open up a command line and execute the lshw command this way:
sudo lshw -xml > dump.xml
- That should create a file called /home/oem/dump.xml. You will need to upload the file to the server and answer a few questions.
- Make sure you are hooked up to the network.
- Make sure you are hooked up to the printer.
- Start your browser and go to this URL:
http://bullwinkle/fgss/
- Fill out the form
- Use your ID number (the one you use to report hours at the front desk).
- If you are builder, select build.
- (Build is selected by default. If you are doing quality control, select quality control instead.)
- Enter any notes you would want the recipient of this computer to see.
- Optionally, enter an old ID number (if there is one)
- Using the browse button find the /home/oem/dump.xml file.
- Click on submit (and wait a little bit). You should eventually see the report.
- Print the report.
