fedora-xo 20090514 has great difficulty booting on XO-1
by Mikus Grinbergs
Using 'copy-nand', flashed ~cjb/fedora-xo 20090514.img to nand.
Booted. A number of boot-time messages scrolled by; then the the
XO-1 became completely unresponsive (i.e., the boot process stalled)
- only thing that would work was the button to power off.
Last "boot-up" line that was output was
"creating devices"
Had to repeat the power-on sequence five times before the boot-up
process happened to get past the "creating devices" point.

Re: yum has problems with proxy
by Mikus Grinbergs
Thanks, folks, for your suggestions.
> modify the /etc/yum.conf file. Add the following :
> proxy=3Dhttp://your_proxy/
Did not get that working on my XO. [The error message changed.]
Without modifying /etc/yum.conf, the error message I get is:
| Could not get metalink
https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=rawhide&arch=i386
error was
| [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error [Errno -2] Name or service not known
With /etc/yum.conf modified to specify the proxy, on XO I get:
| Could not get metalink
https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=rawhide&arch=i386
error was
| [Errno 14] HTTP Error 501: Not Implemented
Besides which, if I were to modify /etc/yum.conf for use at home, I
would have to *un*modify it to run yum on my XO when away from home.
> # export https_proxy=3Dhttp://yourproxy:port/
Interestingly enough, this is currently working on my 20090512 XO.
The trick seems to lie in re-orienting the application (yum) to use
'http' where the application control file has specified 'https'.

yum has problems with proxy
by Mikus Grinbergs
On my XO, I am a heavy user of yum. The communications setup at my
home goes through a proxy to reach the internet. I have empirically
seen that when told to go from the XO to the net through a proxy,
'opera' handles "https:" URLs correctly, whereas 'yum' does not.
Package 'fedora-release-10.92' (included in rawhide-xo) set up one
yum control file ('fedora-rawhide.repo') with "https:" URLs. I had
to go into that file and manually change those URLs to "http:" in
order for my XO to be able to use yum from home. Now the upcoming
package 'fedora-release-11' sets up __all__ the yum control files
with "https:" URLs -- I now had to modify four .repo files to be
able to use yum in f11 on the XO when I'm at home.

The machine which had for several weeks not given me any "unknown
filesystem" errors on boot-up, now gave me a bunch -- despite having
"rootdelay=300" (and later, '500') in olpc.fth. I just kept
repeating the power-on sequence, until the boot-up finally worked.

With rawhide-xo 20090512, I just kept on repeating the power-on
sequence over and over. On about the 11th try (I kid you not), the
boot process got past the 'creating devices' point and let me log in
at a text console. Applied the geode .rpm. After another eight or
so repeats of the power-on sequence (I expect the "power" button
will soon become worn out), the updated system booted -- and I had X
(and thereby Sugar and Gnome) in 20090512 (from nand) on the XO-1.
Chris, thank you mikus

ok. It's Activities you are asking about. [Activities are at the
bottom of my priority list.] Since the latest rawhide-xo on which
Sugar runs for me is 20090426, that's where I tested:
Speak runs with both old 'olpcsound' and with new 'csound'. Am
attaching (edited) log outputs from both cases. [Also ran on both:
Distance; Words.]
--------
Some Activities which make use of sound did *not* run (launch) with
'olpcsound'. I then removed olpcsound and installed csound (plus
fltk). Now the four TamTams, and Bounce, launched successfully.
By the way, it appeared to be a two-step process for me to stop an
Activity using 'csound'. First I clicked on the "stop sign" in the
activity's header. After waiting a bit, I intervened and clicked on
'Stop' in the drop-down palette of the activity's icon in Frame.
My opinion: csound works on rawhide-xo.
Of course, rawhide-xo sound itself does not yet work.

fedora-xo 20090511 does not start X server
by Mikus Grinbergs
Using 'copy-nand', flashed ~cjb/rawhide-xo 20090511.img to nand.
Booted. At the point where the X server would normally start up,
the text console repetitively went blank, "flashed" text, went
blank, "flashed" text, etc. -- eventually the "flashing" stopped
(text showing), and text console 1 just sat there. Went to text
console 2 and logged in.
Last "boot-up" line that showed on the text console 1 was:
Starting NetworkManager daemon: [ OK ]
For me, rawhide-xo 20090511 behaves just the same as 20090510 -
including similar X errors being logged to /var/log.

Re: csound on Fedora 11/rawhide
by Peter Robinson
If we can have some testing on that build to confirm I've got the
update vaguely correct would be great before I do builds for F-9 and
F-10. Alternatively if that won't happen I can possibly do some
scratch builds for F-10/F-9.

csound on Fedora 11/rawhide

Hello All,
I've just updated csound in F12/devel to csoound 5.10.1 and would like
to get some testing (don't worry about the F12 designator its the same
as F11) to see if everything works as expected for the OLPC stuff so
when I push it into F11 and ultimately we can obsolete olpcsound.
You can find a build to play with here
