new F11-for-XO1 images available for testing
by Daniel Drake
Hi,
I just built 2 images of F11-for-XO1 on OLPC infrastructure according
to my own instructions.
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/F11_for_XO-1
The first one is based on the backport that I built and tested before
(a few weeks ago), so it will probably work:
http://dev.laptop.org/~dsd/f11-xo1/os1
and the second one is updated with all of the recent changes that have
been happening in XO-1.5 software development, bringing the 2 trees in
sync at the present time
http://dev.laptop.org/~dsd/f11-xo1/os2
Neither have been tested since the internet connection here in Nepal
is very slow - I will download them over the weekend.
It would be great if anyone is interested in testing during that time
though. I would suggest starting with os2 and falling back on os1 if
it doesn't work.
I'm still looking for people to take on the role of making these
builds on a regular basis - for me, these builds are just a one-off
for now.
The usual cautions apply: this is development code, there will be
bugs. Installation instructions: use copy-nand to install osX.img with
osX.crc.

Fro the last 1 year+ :)
The olpc.fth is in my Ubuntu/swap containing SDcard (follows)
_However_ both random shutdown and X problems are happening also without the SDcard when the XO is using the original f110XO1/os2 olpc.fth

Image created with XO-1 scripts doesn't boot
by Juliano Bittencourt
Hello all,
Since I'm currently living in Rwanda (with an overpriced slow
connection), I though it would save me some time if I built my F11
images locally.
I copied the scripts of the xo-1 branch at git and ran them to
generate and os.img file. Everything went fine and after 3 days
(downloading rpms) I got the image.
I copied it to my XO-1, but it didn't booted. The machines
freezes after ofw loads the ramdisk. No Linux kernel message at all.
Some idea of what could be happening?
Thanks,
Juliano

Interesting. The *only* F11-based build I use which comes with the
'olpc-update' package installed is f11-xo1/os2. And when I issue
the 'olpc-update-query' command there, what I get is :

f11-XO1/os2-Sugar problems
by Yioryos Asprobounitis
I'm not sure if it is th specific build or the applications involved but I'll go with the first since the applications work on other builds.
Pippy 34 will run but all the example programs will fail because they do not find the modules to import (path issue?)
Turtle Art 60 will not install after download even if you click on the downloaded file in the journal. I can install new applications but this is the first one I tried to _update_.

The latest incidence with F11-XO1/os2 is that will not get to the Home screen but instead will stay in a white and then black screen. I can get a console and everything seems to work but startx tells me that X is running in another terminal. Through repetitive reboots stays the same.
It's probably some file corruption and I'll reinstall, but just in case is something systemic I got var/log/messages and x.org.log attached.

What I'm seeing from 'time rtcwake -m mem -a -s 10' is different:
On f11-xo1/os2 (and on devxo-1, which came from the Soas folks) the
above command puts the XO-1 into "suspend" -- and it stays there.
I have to press the 'power' button to get the XO to "resume".
On SoaS3 and Strawberry (both of which came from the SoaS folks),
the 'rtcwake' command *never* causes "suspend" -- the above command
completes immediately (total elapsed is less than 0.1 seconds).

F11 for the X01- shutdown
by Yioryos Asprobounitis
Yet another log of random shutdown.
In this one as you can see the xo was working for some time, I had turned off powerd and happened as soon as/while I was connecting to an open wifi and tried to open the Browse activity.
Given that in my hands the shutdowns are happening usually very soon after boot, eg as soon as/while the xo is connecting to the wifi, I would guess that the problem stems from there.

I noticed from the /var/log/messages content enclosed in your recent
post that your processor is running at 497.488 MHz. My XO-1s are
running at around 430.911 MHz. Are you overclocking your XO-1 ?

Show Must Go On - SoaS for the XO-1
by Sebastian Dziallas
Hi everybody,
I'm very pleased to announce the first early preview of a new generation
of SoaS XO-1 images. Those consist not only of the latest and greatest
Sugar bits, but also a F11 base system and a special OLPC kernel based
on 2.6.30.
This means now that even power management actually works out of the box.
There are some other points, for example the mostly working keyboard
keys. But this is really just a preview!
You'll notice only very few activities in your home view, which is due
to a mistake in our config files. You'd be able to symlink the folders
from /usr/share/sugar/honey to ~/Activities, though. This is a known
issue, but if you come across others, please let us know!
Finally, I'd like to take the chance to thank all the people for their
tremendous work, especially Martin Dengler and all the folks at OLPC!
Now how can you get that? Just download the following two files:
http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/xoimages/devxo-1.crc
http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/xoimages/devxo-1.img
Put them on a USB key or a SD card, plug them into your XO and execute:
copy-nand u:\devxo-1.img or copy-nand sd:\devxo-1.img
Note that you'll need to have an unlocked XO and the latest firmware!
So. Happy hacking and let us know what you think! :)
