powerd broken in os9
by Yioryos Asprobounitis
Powerd does not work in os9. Looks like a regression.
Apparently things have been moved around in /sys in the new build and powerd does not find the files in the expected places
/var/log/powrd.trace says:
/usr/sbin/powerd: line 911: d: unbound variable
chmod: cannot access `/sys/class/backlight/dcon-bl/brightness': No such file or directory
chmod: cannot access `/sys/devices/platform/dcon/output': No such file or directory
/usr/sbin/powerd: line 921: /sys/devices/platform/dcon/freeze: No such file or directory
/usr/sbin/powerd: line 929: /sys/class/backlight/dcon-bl/device/sleep: No such file or directory

some os9 impressions
by Mikus Grinbergs
I'm a Terminal user - and I had to install Terminal myself. Some
other popular (my opinion) activities not included were: irc, maze,
and tamtam_mini. Speak speaks; Record records audio. There was
one "circle" icon in Neighborhood, but two "circle" icons in Frame.
All activities launched (that were included in the build image) - I
did not actually test their operation. When I closed Implode, it
had a 'keep' error. Pippy was still missing pippy -- somehow I
managed to get Pippy into a state where after I exited, the Pippy
launch screen reappeared, and kept pulsing *forever* (until I
restarted Sugar).

Quick run through of Activities on XO-1.5 (Part IV)
by Mikus Grinbergs
New versions of Activities have shown up since my last quick run
through list. I'm continuing with the verification and listing of
which Activities will _launch__ on the current XO-1.5 build:
Note: For many of these Activities, I do not know enough about how
they are supposed to work to be able to "test" them. Thus the list
below did not "test" Activities - just checked if they would launch:
Hardware: XO-1.5 B2
Build: os45
Sugar: 0.84.7-1.fc11.6

Just to clarify that this strange behavior is only with the included Write activity.

Xorg problem in os9?
by Yioryos Asprobounitis
Turns out the Sugarlab's track things I spam them after the 4th ticket :-) so I can not file a proper ticket but maybe better here.
Using F11-XO1/os9 with Sugar 0.84.7 Typing quotes (") results in a screen flicker and the cursor disappearing. You must use the touchpad/mouse to reposition the cursor and click, in order to get back your cursor and be able to type (after an additional screen flicker) again.
Interestingly this is happening when you type <abc "> but not <abc"> (without space).
In the first case they quotes show as curly quotes and in the second as straight (Times New Roman font).
This is not happening in terminal or in Browse.
It is not lethal but very annoying nonetheless ...
I do not know if this is relevant but the Xorg logs complain about failure to load module "freetype". I guess the screen flicker is also suggestive of something Xorg related.
I attache the Write, Xorg and olpc-dm-X logs in case someone has a better idea.

F11-XO1/os9?
by Yioryos Asprobounitis
I was just wondering if an F11-XO1/os9 is in the works. os8 was based on XO-1.5 build30 or 31 and we are up to 44 with some considerable progress.
I can understand that XO-1.5 progress is the top priority but I hope you do not mind a little nagging :-)
Thanks.
