Hi,
Below you can find my results from today's testing. All looks well so
far except that the whisperback HS seems to be down (?). At the bottom
you can also find a list of the remaining tests (for the convenience of
any one that want to help with the testing).
> # Iceweasel
Same as in 0.12 (i.e. mostly ok).
> # Pidgin
Same as in 0.12 (i.e. mostly ok).
> # Tor enforcement
Same as in 0.12 (i.e. mostly ok).
> # Use of untrusted partitions
All ok.
> # Claws
All ok.
> # Whisperback
>
> * can a bug report e-mail be sent?
No. My Tor says:
[Notice] Closing stream for '[scrubbed].onion': hidden service is
unavailable (try again later).
Is the hidden service down? I've gotten this for a couple of hours in a
row now.
> * is it correctly encrypted?
N/A.
> # GnuPG
All ok.
> # Time
All ok.
> # Root access control
All ok.
> # Virtualization support
All ok.
> # I2P
All ok.
> # Windows Camouflage
All ok.
> # Git
All ok.
> # Unsafe Web Browser
All ok.
The remaining tests are:
> # Monkeysphere
>
> * Monkeysphere validation agent key search/receive: torified? uses
> configured keyserver?
>
> # erase memory on shutdown
>
> - check that `memlockd` and `udev-watchdog` are running, and that the
right
> device is being watched by the later.
> - remove Tails' media (USB and cdrom) and check that the memory
> erasure process is started (`Loading new kernel`, at least).
>
> Testing that the needed files are really mapped in memory, and the
> erasing process actually works, involves slightly more complicated
> steps that are worth [[a dedicated page|test/erase_memory_on_shutdown]].
>
> # USB Installer/Upgrader
>
> The installed or upgraded Tails medium shall be successfully booted
> after each of the following tests.
>
> * Test "Clone & Install":
> - from DVD.
> - from USB.
> - onto a USB stick that has a MBR partition table, and no
> partition at all (regression test)
> - onto a USB stick that already has an old-fashioned hybrid cat'd
> Tails on it
> * Test "Clone & Upgrade" (onto a USB install containing an older
> Tails):
> - from DVD.
> - from USB.
> - make sure to test that TailsData partitions survive upgrades.
> - onto a USB stick that already has a old-fashioned cat'd hybrid
> Tails on it: should warn this action is not supported, and direct
> the user to the "Clone & Install" operation mode.
> * Test "Upgrade from ISO".
> - make sure to test that TailsData partitions survive upgrades.
> * Test "emergency shutdown on boot medium removal" feature, on Tails
> system installed by this installer.
>
> # Persistence
>
> * Activate persistence on a Tails USB install with all presets
> on.
> * Reboot, enable persistence. Verify via `mount` that each preset has
> a mount that seem correct (e.g. "Pidgin preset =>
> `/home/amnesia/.purple` has something mounted on it").
> * Try read-write mode. Make sure that persistent files are writeable,
> and that changes do survive reboot.
> * Try read-only mode. Make sure that persistent files are writeable,
> but that no changes survive reboot.
> * Test adding a few custom directories.
> * Turn off some persistence presets, reboot, and make sure they are
> not activated.
>
> # Misc
>
> * Set a sudo password in Tails Greeter and verify that it works.
> * Check that there are no weird applications listening to external
> connections with `sudo netstat -ltupn` (everything should be
> `127.0.0.1` (IPv4) or `::1` (IPv6)).
> * Check that links to the online website (`Mirror:`) at the bottom of
> bundled static web pages are working. Else, it probably means the
> wiki was not built with the needed patched ikiwiki version.
> * Check that all seems well during init (mostly that all services
> start without errors), and that dmesg seems ok.
> * Boot without network connection, and then plug it in after
> some arbitrary time; Tor and Vidalia must be autostarted and end up
> in working state.
> * Doing an apt-get update and installing random packages.
> * Boot on bare-metal on USB and DVD.
> * Boot and check basic functionality is working for every supported
> language.
> - The chosen keyboard layout must be applied.
> - The virtual keyboard must work and be auto-configured to
> use the same keyboard layout as the X session.
> - The iceweasel search engine must be localized (for languages we
> ship a localized searchplugin for).
> * Try to start with the `truecrypt` option on boot, see if it can be
found in
> the *Applications* → *Accessories* menu and that it runs correctly.
> * Connecting over SSH to a server on the Internet should work (and
> appear in Vidalia's connections list).
> * Connecting (by IP) over SSH to a server on the LAN should work.
> * The `amnesia` user must be part of the following groups:
> `audio cdrom dialout floppy video plugdev netdev fuse debian-tor
scanner lp lpadmin vboxsf`
> * Measure boot time on some reference bare metal hardware, and compare
> with previous version. The new one should not be significantly
> slower to start.
> * MAT should be able to clean a PDF file.
> * Running `getTorbuttonUserAgent` should produce the useragent set by the
> Torbutton version installed and used in Iceweasel.
