Machine Polish (pre GCC-2017)

Done

• Nginx should not say "forbidden" while starting up - it should say "Galaxy is unavailable - it may be starting..." (https://github.com/galaxyproject/ansible-galaxy-extras/blob/master/templates/nginx.conf.j2)
• enable IEs in default config (https://github.com/galaxyproject/planemo-machine/blob/master/group_vars/all#L115)
• change prompt (maybe just cwd, rather than default whole path ubuntu uses) (https://github.com/galaxyproject/planemo-machine/blob/master/roles/galaxyprojectdotorg.devbox/tasks/main.yml)
• Double power indicators - remove indicator-power package duplicated by xubuntu.
• Double date indicators - remove indicator-datetime package duplicated by xubuntu.
• Do you have to restart galaxy to see the tool? Hot load? (This is a bug - those tools should definitely show up.)
• Munge does not work in 16.04 image. Works in Docker container - but not in VM. Maybe conflicts between ways of starting this up?
• Configure proxy - it was configured. Fixed in Enhanced testing and building. #95 - now tested to prevent regressions.
• Node is cannot install proxy on 16.04. Fixed in Enhanced testing and building. #95 - now tested to prevent regressions.
• npm install proxy stuff (This is probably done by ansible-galaxy-extras now? https://github.com/galaxyproject/ansible-galaxy-extras/blob/master/defaults/main.yml#L158 - might have to witch defaults to enable it)
• missing creation of a tool_dependencies.xml file which would be required for the seqkt and bwa tools to actually work if downloaded from the toolshed (place in planemo maybe?) (Don't need this anymore.)
• disable screen saver
• link to the galaxy log on the desktop of the virtual machine. (https://github.com/galaxyproject/planemo-machine/blob/master/roles/galaxyprojectdotorg.devbox/tasks/main.yml)
• Turn off Terminal scrollback limits. (https://github.com/galaxyproject/planemo-machine/blob/master/roles/galaxyprojectdotorg.devbox/tasks/main.yml)
• Turn off Terminal scroll on update. (https://github.com/galaxyproject/planemo-machine/blob/master/roles/galaxyprojectdotorg.devbox/tasks/main.yml)
• change font size for terminal (https://github.com/galaxyproject/planemo-machine/blob/master/roles/galaxyprojectdotorg.devbox/tasks/main.yml)

two battery icons are twice as useful ;)

@bgruening https://github.com/jmchilton/galaxy-downloads the databases are so small, can we include that so planemo inside planemo machine doesn't have to hit the network at all? Also maybe pre-run a planemo profile?

[bgruening]

I would like to see this database as part of planemo :)

I checked off the things done in #100

[jmchilton]

Moved 6 more things to the Done list based on previous fixes and fixes in #105. Including progress on IE, duplicate indicators, shortening command prompt, tool reloading, and munge being broken.

Additionally I moved two more things to a new issue #104 - related to IEs and API since I don't think we will have an API training session at this years GCC and I don't think any training sessions will require us to pre-fetch IEs.

Only one thing remains and that is the poor error handling in nginx - I'm going to start trying to work on the error docs after #106 clears testing (the ansible-galaxy role has added such error docs lately that we can leverage from here).

[jmchilton]

Just built a new image - it looks like #107 and #108 fixed the poor "forbidden" error message.
