Hi Everyone,
Thanks to the work from DJP, we now have support for .doc[x], .xls[x],
ppt[x] (and basically any file type that openoffice can covert to PDF)
in the latest build of BigBlueButton. We've updated the BigBlueButton
packages so they now automatically install openoffice.org along with
the needed init.d to run open office headless.
If you want to check it out, take a clean Ubuntu 9.04 for machine and
do the following
wget http://archive.bigbluebutton.org/bigbluebutton.asc
sudo apt-key add bigbluebutton.asc
echo "deb http://archive.bigbluebutton.org/dev bigbluebutton main" |
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bigbluebutton.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bigbluebutton
If you are using an existing (non-production!) BigBlueButton VM or
installation of BigBlueButton via packages, you can edit /etc/apt/
sources.list.d/bigbluebutton.list to use the http://archive.bigbluebutton.org/dev
archive and type
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
will upgrade the necessary 0.62 packages to the current (development)
of 0.63. It will also install openoffice in all its 300 MB glory.
Keep in mind your upgrading off trunk, so trunk may become unstable
during development of 0.63 (and it likely will), causing packages to
break.
If you want to try installing BigBlueButton on Amazon EC2 to try it
out (which is how we usually test builds), we recommend using the 9.04
instance ami-ccf615a5 created by Eric Hammond (see http://alestic.com/).
Before you can access BigBlueButton, you'll need to tell it the
external hostname for the EC2 instance. You can do this with the
command
bbb-conf -setip <hostname>
We've installed this latest build EC2 so you can try it out
http://ec2-174-129-61-13.compute-1.amazonaws.com/
We'll keep the above instance running for a few days, so feel free to
test it out.
Finally, you'll also note that openoffice will not translate every PPT
slide presentation perfectly; sometimes you'll get a better conversion
by having saving to PDF in office. Still, BigBlueButton now supports
any file that openoffice supports.
Thanks again DJP!
Regards,... Fred
Notes:
- This is a developer build, so keep your seatbelts fastened
- The upload file dialog box for presentation filters by files that
end in .pdf, so on windows you need to enter * for file name and press
enter, and the dialog will show you all the available files for
upload.
- there is no error handling, if the conversion fails, it will just
hang. Check /var/log/syslog for error message
- there's no progress indicator when openoffice is converting your
document to pdf
- The msttcorefonts package is installed
- if you find have feedback, please add your comments to the
initial feature request

Hi Fred,
Thanks to you for this dev package and explanation.
In fact, i'm still currently working on, so i'll add few update in
next few days to prepare the code for next step (http://
code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/issues/detail?id=218) and a error
handling. Conversion progress might be a good thing too. I'll work on
that too.
I keep you guys updated.
Oh and just one comment about "The upload file dialog box for
Linux) you can dropdown the listbox with filetype (ie. PDF) to select
one other from "WORD", "EXCEL", "POWERPOINT".
Perhaps we can add the listbox default filter on "all supported file
type" selected by default, instead of using listbox filter to choose
the one we want... !? I'll modify that in trunk asap.
Finally, i couldn't agree more with "you'll also note that openoffice

This is mostly true with PPT slide, with Excel/Word, it seems better.

Hi Everyone,
We've terminated the instance http://ec2-174-129-61-13.compute-1.amazonaws.com/
... we'll be providing a test server running builds of BigBlueButton
0.63 shortly.
You can setup your own BigBlueButton 0.63 dev build with the following
commands on Ubuntu 9.04
wget http://archive.bigbluebutton.org/bigbluebutton.asc
sudo apt-key add bigbluebutton.asc
the above will probably be unstable until we start to settle
everything down for a release. Stay tuned!
Regards,... Fred

Do you think the 0.62 vim would upgrade properly or are these
instructions for a from scratch build?

Hi Clwaters,
When we release 0.63, we will ensure the packages will update a 0.62
build. It takes a lot of testing, but in the end you should be able
to take your 0.62 setup and type
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
and have a fully working 0.63 release. That being said, we are
currently in the middle of our 0.63 development and the packages in
archive.bigbluebutton.com/dev are building off of trunk, so there is
no guarantee they will properly upgrade or work. So, for the moment,
if you want to try using 0.63, with all the caveats that it may break,
we recommend start with a clean machine (Ubuntu 9.04) and install
using the instructions in the previous post.
After we finish our testing of 0.63, if we've done our job right, you
should have no problems upgrading an existing 0.62 with two commands.
Regards,... Fred

Hi Sawapon,
Can you give a bit more information on your setup (don't want to
assume anything!). Did you use packages or manual install? Did you
upgrade an existing 0.62 installation, or did you start with a fresh
install for 0.63 from packages?
We're not surprised as we're still deep into development for this
iteration and haven't entered the testing phase yet for this release.
In any event, let us know more information and we'll see if we can
help now.
Regards,... Fred

Hi Sawangpong,
Following what you did, you should be running 0.63 code that's built
off of trunk (the key was to use http://archive.bigbluebutton.org/dev
as the archive URL). To check that you have installed 0.63 packages,
running command dpkg -l | grep bbb. Here's my output
root:~# dpkg -l | grep bbb
ii bbb-apps
0.63.0ubuntu39 BigBlueButton applications for Red5
ii bbb-apps-sip
0.63.0ubuntu19 BigBlueButton SIP module for Red5
ii bbb-apps-video
0.63.0ubuntu2 BigBlueButton video module for Red5

ii bbb-web
0.63.0ubuntu16 BigBlueButton web interface
ii bigbluebutton

If you were running 0.62, then all the packages would have 0.62.XX

P.S. Ignore the banner at the top of the index page that still reads
0.62 ... we haven't updated it yet.

Hi Sawanpong,
It should support other file types, through the File/Open dialog box
might be filtering for only *.pdf files. If you type * in the
FileName field and press enter, it should show you all file types for
you to upload. It should support word, excel, and powerpoint files --
whatever openoffice 3.0.1 supports.
Let us know if the above works.

Try it once more ... even though the filter remains "PDF", after you
type * and press Enter, you should see all files in the current folder
available for selection.

Hi Subikar,
In 0.62 the VoIP was causing some resource problems, and we've spent
the last month refactoring it and fixing bugs. BigBlueButton 0.63
will be better, and we're getting close to finishing development and
entering the testing phase, but it's not ready yet for production,
especially as we've not tested it extensively yet.
For the moment, could you create a cron job that restarts red5 and
tomcat6 every night at 2:00 AM. We know that's not a solution; its a
stopgap. We want BigBlueButton to run for month's without restart,
but this will help alleviate some of the near-term problems with
resource until we're there.
Also, would it be possible for you to tar.gz the following directories
and e-mail us a link?
/usr/share/red5/logs
/var/lib/tomcat6/logs
Finally, we are willing to remotely log into your server and examine
the setup more closely to see what's causing the problems. If this is
an option, we're willing to help out directly. Please e-mail us
directly to coordinate.
Regards,... Fred

Hi Subikar,
Thanks Subikar. We've looked through the logs and we can see lots of
exceptions and errors with regards to the SIP. These appear as

We've been going through the SIP code and systematically hunting down
and fixing these bugs. Needless to say, 0.63 should be much less
resource intensive for VoIP. Another problem is the amount of logging
that the SIP code creates. In 0.63 we've added a parameter to /usr/
share/red5/webapps/sip/WEB-INF/bigbluebutton-sip.properties to reduce
the logging
# If you want mjsip stack (red5/log/*access*.log) to minimize the
amount of logs it
# generates, set this to a lower value (e.g. 3).
sipStackDebugLevel=3
For the moment, the best course of action is to add a cron job that
restarts red5 once a day. In parallel, we'll let you know as soon as
0.63 is ready for testing.
Regards,... Fred
