FP.o/wiki/XO updates
by Karlie Robinson
I've added just a few things to Ed's wonderful FAQ - Specifically:
* a link to the laptop.org wiki for more info about getting a Dev Key
* a link to Greg's FedoraForum XO thread
* a link to Communicate in the wiki
I'll try to add more as I think of things, but those of you who know of
specific help topics that should be added, please don't hesitate to add
them.
Anything else you can think of? People will be hitting this page as
early as today.

Final check on F10 comments/testing
by Ed McNierney
Folks -
I would like to give Karlie and Todd at On-Disk.com some sense of the
testing and user community on the F10 release. Could everyone please
comment on their experience using the latest Preview release and
Jeremy's most recent boot script?
I'll start <g> by pointing out that I'm still concerned about the
usability of this release. I've spent this morning trying things out,
and I continue to get assorted boot-time failures (hangs) maybe half
the time. When I do boot successfully things seem fine, but my
wireless network connection keeps dropping and I can't launch FireFox
at all. I realize I'm doing intermittent tests in the middle of doing
a lot of other things, so user and/or environmental errors may be at
least partly to blame.
It would be very valuable to hear from other folks who've been more
active who can look at the current release and let us know what you
think - thanks!

Can not launch sugar in rawhide
by Bryan Kearney
I am attempting to test sugar in a vm using the steps below. I get to
the initial login, and select the sugar desktop. It accepts
username/password and begins to log me in. It them flashes once, and
takes me back to the login. Any ideas where I should look for errors?
-- bk
Steps to re-produce (on F9)
* yum install appliance-tools python-virtinst
* Download the kickstart file copied from the sdizillas in the kickstart
repo:
http://git.et.redhat.com/?p=acex.git;a=blob;f=sugarxo/resources/sugar-f10.ks;
* appliance-creator --name sugarxo --config [PATH TO KSFILE]
* virt-imavge sugarxo.xml
* Then connect via virt-manager or virt-viewer

[Re: Package Front Mock-up]

Making sure this gets seen by Artwork; I think this was supposed to be
a list reply, right? If not, I'll apologize in advance... :-)

Subject: Re: Package Front Mock-up
I'm using the GIMP and I've changed it to one of the shades of blue from
the solar image.
Just that I need to flop the logos on this once I get the officially
licensed image from OLPC and get it to the printer this afternoon.
I'm using a 4.25 by 6.25 inch image at 200DPI or 850x1250px so that I have
a 800x1200 final print area when the 1/8 inch bleed is cut off all 4 sides.
If someone can shoot me a logo that looks good sitting on top of the Solar
desktop, I'll take it.

Package Front Mock-up
by Karlie Robinson
Here's a rough mock-up of the front of the package.
http://on-disk.com/cms/edit/data/files//package-front-mockup.jpg
I'm expecting a logo from OLPC this afternoon and once I know the shape
and such I'll finish up the text and such that needs to be added.
The SD card won't actually be printed to the Card, but glued on. The
photo I took is just to give you an idea of what the package will look
like.
The actual PDF that I send to the printer will be posted when I'm
completely done.

Adding new Activities via RPM
by Bryan Kearney
If you add a new activity via a yum update, you have to restart sugar
for it to appear on the desktop (or, to appear on the list so you can
put it on the desktop). Combine that with the fact there is no logout
for Sugar, you are left with either a restart (reboot) or
Ctrl-alt-backspace.
I understand you can download .xo files from a website. Are these
automatically added to the desktop? If so, is there some code or script
which we can put in an rpm %post section to make them appear?

Instruction Card
by Karlie Robinson
Nothing is set in stone yet, but here's a preview of what will be
printed on the back of the SD instruction cards.
http://on-disk.com/cms/edit/data/files//instructioncard.jpg
As always, I'd love your comments.
I'd still like a yes, no, maybe on a one stop URL from my previous post
for the detailed instructions URL. Maybe something that's worded to
indicate one jumping off point for help of all sorts
