General

  • ssh error "Disconnecting: Corrupted MAC on input.". Python guis will crash with this error from time to time if they are on ssh (i.e. not user is ssh-ing to wolverine). Annoying as MIRC+CHAMP needs ssh-ing. FB tried debugging using ssh -vvv but was unsucessful. Seems to be hardware+kernel related and require changes with ethtool, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/60764 . Currently testing if this solution ( ethtool -K eth0 rx off tx off ) works. If yes, then we can add this as a script to /etc/network/if-up.d/. I suggest we test the md5 sum of transfered large files to test the reliability of the network (can be generated by dd if=/dev/urandom of=bigfile bs=1G count=60).

One potential issue is that transfer rate is supposed to get slower on some NIC, though my tests on wolverine <-> mirkwood scp exchanges show this is not the case.

CHAMP server

  • Critical bug: the ftnums become negative after a while, as shown on the FT gui. -- FIXED ?

Spooler

FT GUI

  • Hardcoded values: numberOfFrames

Align GUI

  • FPA tab does not seem to do anything anymore
  • Need better way to move between alignment steps - ONGOING
  • Need calibration procedure - ONGOING
  • Need spiral search - ONGOING
  • Need useful quadrant mode in wide field view - ONGOING
