This page describes how to test each application installed on the Live GIS Disc. Application test steps describe how an Ubuntu user who is unfamiliar an application can try it out and confirm that everything has been installed correctly within 5 minutes. Test Results document when the application was last verified to be working.

This page is maintained at: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc_Testing and copied onto each release of the LiveDVD.

System: Thinkpad T43, 2 GB, on live dvd

System: Macbook Pro, 4 GB, on live dvd

System: VirtualBox, 1 GB, 30GB HD image, on windows 7

Version: distribution version: eg: osgeo-live 4.0 rc6

Results: Pass with issues

Bootloader

. shows version 3.0
. think pad boots fine
. mac needed to hit ENTER to get to the initial boot loading screen

Installer

. tried with vitural box vm
. install says "Arramagong live"
. obviously installing will allow you to enter a user name; will this break applications expecting "user" ?
. my install failed; not enough space on the device. Need instructions indicating how much space is needed

Desktop

. think pad displays fine
. macbook pro - test OSGeo LIVE DVD Barcelona is cut off (and this one has higher resolution than many laptops)
. virtual box - could not adjust the screen resolution beyond the initial 800x600, instructions for open-vm-tools were fine, oh wait it wants a reboot - of a live dvd?
. never did get virtual box to have a different screen resolution even after adding the open-vm-tools

Suggestions from IRC:

. change background to not have text
. text at bottom of desktop being cut off is probably a function of screen aspect ratio
. indicate that "user" is the password in a box or make it more visible (good idea jasonbirch)

Results: Atlas styler fail

. Application is in "Education > Atlasstyler" (Not Science > Atlas Styler)
. Quickstart is not specific enough; it is more a link to other docs
. Application "window" is messed up; the window tilebar is folded up under the desktop bar; you can resise the window; but not move it.
. Tried with natural_earth countries, a warning was provided that it would use the default style, progress bar is taking a long time
. Oh wait the tutorials link to their website (I am offline); but the styling layers with SLD tutorials in french and english are actually included on the disk (verified both links work)
. The application never came back to me; and the window issue result in a fail
. darn I was looking forward to this one
. figured out a workaround; clicking on task bar and asking the application to maximiz finally lets me get at the window tilebar
. Whew was able to use "ps -ef | grep java" and "kill" to shut it down

Results: Pass with issues

Quickstart document is not rendering correct; images rescale and text is pushed out of the way
Start GeoServer icon is not specific; it is in Web Services now; or in the Education menu (sigh!)
Nice progress bar as it starts up (who did that?)
Helpful having the start page link in the docs; but that new little progress bar opened the page for me
Suffers from the same "Firefox is in offline mode" error and cannot see local host (sent to email list)
No need to login if all you are doing is showing the layer preview
Warning is about the read-only file system; the live dvd provides this; so is this warning needed?
the directory needs to be /home/user/data/natural_earth (since the live dvd user name is "user" )
So adding a layer was fine; the sectino for adding the style to the layer is empty

maptiler

Tests written for: .package. [version], osgeo-live [version]
Test Description last updated: .date.

you need an GeoTIFF or other raster geodata to test the functionality. So download for example this: http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/data/gtiff/utm.tif (when you use Firefox it will automatically save the files into ~/Downloads).
start MapTiler: click on "Applications" -> "Graphics" -> "MapTiler"
in the MapTiler application select on the first page "Google Maps compatible" tiles and click "Continue"
in the second page of wizard add the tiff, it should be ~/Downloads/utm.tif and click "Continue"
continue trough all other steps in the wizard (default options are fine) and then start "Render"
when the rendering is finished you will see a link to the directory with tiles, click to open it (it opens in Firefox as a directory)
open the "googlemaps.html", you should see a black&white overlay displayed on top of Google Maps hybrid layer. You can also open "openlayers.html" to see another presentation of the results.

Verify that ...

MapTiler application starts without problems when clicked on the icon
When you press on "Render" applications starts the processing and does not report any error.

Alternative "real" geodata for testing are for example USGS maps or NOAA RNCs.

Another way to try it:

Start MapTiler by clicking the icon on the Desktop
Load in the second step example raster GEODATA (with georerence/srs)
Go trough all the steps with 'Next' up to the Render
Once the render is finished you can click in the GUI to open a folder with tiles. When you open googlemaps.html or openlayers.html then you see your geodata warped to the overlay of popular interactive web maps as Google Maps.

The map tiles are displayed directly from your disk. To publish the map to Internet just upload the folder with tiles to any webserver or Amazon S3"

Results: Pass with issues

Itasca demo (and mapserv 5.6.5) work fine
Problems in mapserver_description.html
- Need to remove "GMap" demo link (since GMap itself has been removed)
- Need to update Documentation link to read "MapServer 5.6 Documentation" or even better: "MapServer Documentation" (with no version number so we don't need to update it in the future)
- The main page of the MapServer 5.6 Docs that's on the DVD is from 5.6.3, and the OSM map in that page does not work: the link to the tiles point to a dead server. This is a known issue and the current version of the docs on the MapServer website (v5.6.5) have the map disabled... so it may be a good idea to grab the latest version of the 5.6 docs for the DVD.

open GeoTiff

where on the disc is one?

(if needed geotiff and shapefile export could be added to the GRASS testing procedure to make some)

open PostGIS data I

From the menu: Layer → Add PostGIS Layer ...
PostgreSQL Connections: [New]

    Name: medford
    Host: localhost
    Database: medford
    Port: 5432
    username: user

open PostGIS data: (run the PostGIS test first so that the osm_barcelona DB exists!)

From the menu: Layer → Add PostGIS Layer ...
PostgreSQL Connections: [New]

Name: ________ "OpenStreetMap Import" 
Database: ____ "osm_barcelona"

Click on [Test Connect], with luck you will get a message that the connection to the database was successful.
Click [Ok] to close the New Database window.
Click on [Connect] in the top left of the Add PostGIS Table window. You should see a listing of tables come up.
Click on all of the table names to highlight them.
Click on [Add] at the bottom.
After some moments you should see the data displayed in the main map canvas.
Zoom, pan, query as you like.

This should at least prove to you that the database is correctly populated and running.

open shapefile

where on the disc is one?
From the menu: Layer → Add Vector Layer ...

Do not select New Vector Layer ... (that's for creating new data, not opening existing data)

Dataset: [Browse]

? where on disc ?

Ctrl-click on each of the *.shp files in that directory, then click [Open] and finally [Ok]
After some momements you should see the data displayed in the main map canvas.
Because the some of the shapefiles use a different map projection than the PostGIS database, things may not line up exactly. In the Settings → Projection Properties, Coordinate Reference System tab, you can tick the [•] Enable 'on the fly' CRS transformation box to overlay them. Be warned that this is computationally expensive and the layer may need to have its CRS set manually.
Zoom, pan, query as you like. Drag layer names up and down in the left-pane list to change their position in the stack.

open OSM data

need to enable plugin?
open /usr/local/share/osm/Barcelona.osm.bz2

Test the GRASS plugin

Go menu "Plugins, Pluginmanager, activate "GRASS plugin", OK button: a set of new buttons should appear
open location/mapset → ~/grassdata/spearfish90/PERMANENT
click "Add GRASS raster layer" button, select "elevation" map
click "Add GRASS raster layer" button, select "elevation_shade" map
click right mouse button in legend on "elevation_shade" map, move transparency to 40%
