lernstick / glados Goto Github PK

Using Prüfungsstick based on Lernstick version 2019-06-10, the time limit set in Glados is nowhere visible on the exam desktop. This does not correspond to the help text in the Glados web interface.

When creating an exam with the Lernstick, there should be a possibility to upload the data directly to the exam server in the network (via rdiff-backup?). The squash-filesystem should then be generated on the server and an exam created automatically.

In https://github.com/imedias/glados/blob/debian9/debian/postinst#L123
Only chown depth 1. Else an update would take very long if there are a lot of backups.

Could be done using the logfiles of rdiffbackup, instead of expensive indexing and spamming the database.

When manually closing tickets left in the running state by students (e.g. by pulling out the Lernstick), it would be helpful to select all filtered tickets and have them processed in one batch.

Hi chaoos,

now the glados server works. When testing the server with an example exam the client could download the exam files, the client started in "exam mode", the I finished the exam and then nothing happened anymore. There was a message in "Activities" saying "Backup failed: network error". In /etc/logs/glados/error... I found: Port 22 is closed or blocked. In fact, it is neither closed nor blocked. From another machine I can easily access the glados server using ssh and port 22. It is not blocked and reachable. I was also able to reach it form the exam machine.

Do you have any ideas to resolve this problem?

Thanks a lot for your great work!

I set the option "User can gain root privileges by sudo" but the user cannot get root privileges without password as claimed by the help text.

Using Prüfungsstick based on Lernstick version 2019-06-10, the Finish Exam icon is neither in the "ribbon" among the preferred applications on the left side nor on the desktop. The welcome text to the exam explicitly says to "doubleclick the icon at the desktop to finish the exam".
The desktop folder under $HOME indeed is empty. In the primary phase, there is, however, a search_exam_server.desktop on the desktop.
I hope this is the right repository for this bug!

When old test ticket are abandoned, the server tries to backup them all 1 minute. After a while the backup process should give up abandoned tickets.

At some places, it's even spelled "GLaDOS" …

The exam in the database should contain a version (of the Lernstick) on which the exam was created. When the exam is started on another Lernstick version, a warning message should appear. The version of the Lernstick should be stored in the generated squashfs-filesystem.

One possibility is to create a random hash and append it to the original filename with removed special characters.

The activities counter does not count correctly.

In some cases when deleting a ticket, there is just a white page with no feedback.

Maybe with a template and markers/variables

Although this question probably is more directly aimed at Lernstick, the question does arise naturally in the context of Prüfungsstick. I followed the directions for creating a squashfs-filesystem as exam file. This worked fine for a previous exam.
A new exam will have very similar settings and therefore I would like to use the already prepared squashfs as a base. However, I do not see how to easily pull that squashfs into Lernstick and start working from there. How can that be done?

When the student hands in the exam results in the moment when a backup is running, the backup_last entry is greater than the end entry in the database. Therefore the last backup will never run.

The shutdown command from the desktop should be replaced by /usr/bin/finishExam.
Reasoning: it can be misleading to students that they can successfully shut down the computer from a running exam session without realizing that they in fact did not finish the exam. Furthermore I do not see any reason why one should need to shut down the computer in the midst of an exam.
This even is a security flaw. Students might turn off the computer and walk away from the exam room. Provided they have an exam stick, they can boot back into the exam and modify it without supervision. If the teacher does not keep an eye on the state of the students' tickets there is no way to recognize this.

Using Prüfungsstick based on Lernstick version 2019-06-10, no screenshots are taken although the respective setting is two minutes in the Glados web-interface.

Happend on a debian 9 server with a debian 9 stick.

Possibility to provide a list of packages that should be installed/deinstalled on the exam system.

it would be great if users could authenticate with their ad account.

Using Prüfungsstick based on Lernstick version 2019-06-10, I created a ZIP-file containing a single text file that is attached to the exam. The content is nowhere visible on the exam desktop.

When deleting an exam, a question should appear whether the user wants to remove all associated tickets or remain them.

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, but in my installation of glados the "Actions" menu is empty. After logging in, I can’t do anything because the menu is empty. The server meets all requirements and I used the deb-packages to install glados on debian 9.5. It is installed in a virtual machine. What am I doing wrong?

At current, it replaces the current window which is a bit confusing.

History for specific table fields:

• create history entry when item is updated
• remove history item when ticket/exam whatever is deleted

The login form should provide a short info, that is editable by the admin.
