<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Had the problem mentioned earlier today where I could not switch rooms in TVS and attributed it to something I did (nothing ever works the first time - right?). It was getting late so I decided to troubleshoot later. Hopefully the rebooting of TVS cleared my problems.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Anyway here are some comments/questions that maybe someone can shed some light on and/or might be helpful to others...</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">0). I believe I saw somewhere that RH7.3 was supported/tested, etc for v2.0RC1. However I had problems trying to install the prerequisite version of the Python2 RPM linked to from the AG2.0 website. This version indicated it was for RH8.0 and when trying to install it indicated a dependancy on libc.so.6 (glibc3.2) and libdb.4.0 (Berkley DB support?). Since I verified that I already had a version of Python2 loaded, and libc.so.6 was linked somewhere, I skipped installing this version with the thinking that updating gcc, glibc at this time was not a good idea. Is the version of Python2 important?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">1). Had a problem with the order of installation of the AG rpms on the Audio & Video machines. Received an error installing AccessGrid-2.0RC-1.i386.rpm (something about processing the $pre commands/section - not exactly sure since I do not have my notes), however trying to install the respective services (Audio/rat or VideoProducer/vic) did not work since there appeared to be a dependency on the AccessGrid-2.0RC-1 rpm. Putting all packages on the same rpm install command line allowed the respective services (Audio/rat or VideoProducer/vic) to install, however the AccessGrid-2.0RC-1 section still produced that $pre error mentioned earlier, however I could now issue the command to install just the AccessGrid-2.0RC-1 rpm.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">2). I generated the globus key/cert request on just one machine. When I received my cert back I then copied this (and the corresponding key) to the appropriate directories on all nodes. Not sure if this is good form, but it seemed to work. (Grid proxy init did not give any errors).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">3). I do not have all my notes in front of me, but if I recall correctly, the response I received from the proxy init indicated that it was valid for only a short period of time. Is this normal? How often must the proxy be updated?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">4). A message is generated on the Audio & Display machines when running AGServiceManager about looking for/needing to run SetupVideo.py. I did not install the VideoProducer on these nodes, so I don't think this file is present. Do I need to be concerned? Can I configure the ServiceManager to not look for SetupVideo.py on the Audio & Display machines?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">5). My (and other) video streams did show up in the TVS lobby after starting the VenueClient : ) and each of my video streams showed the configured label of Audience, Main, Presenter, etc.; however they all appeared to be coming from ag@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (video capture machine IP address). How do I configure the different streams to show my institution name instead of the IP address?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">6). Finally, something that's been bugging me in v1.x & now 2.0. How can I scroll through all received streams in a venue on the display machine? I know to use the number key to change the number of streams horizontally, but how do I scroll/display them in the vertical direction?</FONT></P>
