[AG-TECH] Error storing node configuration - Linux

[Jason Bell]

G'day Ben and all

If I may add some additional comments to Chris's reply.

As you may not be aware, I have submitted a bug about this particular
issue, see http://bugzilla.mcs.anl.gov/accessgrid/show_bug.cgi?id=1777

As a work around, I simply store the "Node Configuration" as a different
name, say "Standard" and select the default option.

The great thing about using different node configurations, is that you
can save various config's for different purposes.  For example, I have a
number of config's

*	default - Nothing configured, but allows a fall back to default
option;	

*	Standard - Just the basic everyday config;

*	Standard + extras - When I want to use things like VPCSreen and
other node services;

*	Standard + Extra Camera - If the additional camera is needed;

*	Standard + DV Consumer - For when I want to view HDV/DV streams;

*	Standard + DV - For when I want to transmit a DV Stream;

*	High Bandwidth - For when I want to transmit using maximum
quality settings; and

*	Low Bandwidth - For when bandwidth is an issue. 

With using the VenueClient Menu Option "Tools -> Configurations ->
<config name>", this allows the easy selection of various AG node
configurations.

Anyway, I hope this info is of some use.

Cheers,
Jason.

After adding my VideoProducer, I've never been able to store the current
node configuration as default for AG3.1 under Fedora or Debian.

I suspect a certain file doesn't have the correct write permissions.

It just means I have to add the VideoProducer service every time I start
my client - no big problem, but slightly annoying.

The error message is "Error storing node configuration default".

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Cheers, Ben.
