Hi Thomas,

I suggest you stay away from 1.1RC1 (it is almost 6 months younger than 1.1
final and has a lot more issues).

That test command is normally used during development mode, and I had not
even realized it was available in the ubuntu production packages. It will
not give you any good indicators about the setup (but now that I think
about it, a good improvement for geonode would be to make it check your
configuration).

The best test you can use to see if a geonode installation is working is to
upload a file through the web ui and see if it renders correctly.

Best,
Ariel.
PS: I am copying the list, other people are also reporting trouble posting
to it. Hopefully we will switch soon to another mailing list provider but
in the meantime, my recommendation is to put geonode@librelist.com in the
'to' field and other people in the 'cc' field. When you 'cc' the list, the
email does not always come through.

I answer to the list that seems to be online today...

We finally install geonode 1.1 final on a Ubuntu 10.04 ESX VM.

We had some problems when we try to delete layers from Geonode 
(Postgres+Postgis installation): Geonode delete the layer from Geoserver 
but not from the postgres server and also not from the django tables.

We change gs_helpers.py (L148) removing "cat.delete(store)" as Matt said 

(https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode/commit/2749299e4b7d2adc4541c969221729646f651aa0)

and now it works!

Thanks, Thomas

I am really happy to hear so :)

Ciao
L.
