1.0 Release notes

This program allows the owner of a non Chumby One device to check whether SSLfix will
work or not. The script does not install any file and does not attempt to modify 
the firmware.

Procedure is quite simple.

Expand the archive and put all the files and directories in the root of an USB key.

Insert the key in a switched off Chumby, turn it on and wait.

After a while some messages will be shown, following this sequence.

- shows "is running" while doing all the checks (may take 10-20 seconds)

- shows "test of new libraries has failed (etc)" in case the new libraries do not work

- shows the picture of a swiss mountain followed by "is successful" otherwise

- shows "unkown config" it can't identify the Chumby

- show "fix is already installed", well if it did find the fix
  in this case it assumes the fix is working and does no actual test


Then proceeds to load the widgets as it usually does.

For more techical details a install.log file is stored on the USB key.

Remember to restart the Chumby (without the key)


2.0 Read only USB key

Sometimes the usb key gets mounted as readonly and the the install.log file is not saved. 
Therefore now the script saves it to /tmp, and tries to copy it to the key if possible.


The log can be read using the SSH shell as the SSHD daemon is spawned by the installer.

Or with a web browser by following these steps.


- rename the file "_http-flg" to "http_flg" (remove leading underscore)

- restart the chumby

- at the end of the test it displays the message "showing log on the web server"
  for 60 seconds

- during that time the log is available at the url:
  http://ip_of_chumby/cgi-bin/custom/viewlog.sh

- After the 60 seconds access is removed

- Do not reset or power off the Chumby during that waiting period, 
  as web access should always be removed


Note: Web browser access requires writing the viewlog.sh file in the /psp/cgi-bin directory.
      This file is removed at the end of the test.
      If such a file already exists, nothing is done.
