Received your XO? Let us know!

[Greg DeKoenigsberg]

Hi folks.

As the XO units start to hit the ground, I'd appreciate it if you can 
respond to this thread with an ack that you've received your XO and a 
brief intro of yourself.  We'll all be working together quite a bit, so 
let's all get to know each other.

A reminder on getting started: see...

Aren't you the KDE/Mac guy? ;-)

Any chance you can test the Fedora KDE spin on the XO for us? According to 
http://katzj.livejournal.com/440811.html the Snap1 images from 
http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/ should work without special OLPC tweaking. Of 
course, KDE might run out of RAM or something, but that's what we need testing 
for. ;-)

I tried it, but it's pretty much unusable.

It takes a long long time to even come up, and then starting apps and
stuff is unbearably slow.

I'm waiting for Snap2 before I bother to do much, I think I'd commit
suicide before waiting for a terminal enough to swapon.  ;)

Cool, I'll give it a shot.

There was supposed to be a new version of the script that did the swap
stuff and such, wasn't there?  Does anyone know if that's been updated?

Ah, turns out the new script does do --swap-size-mb, it's just not in
the --help.  ;)

I've got the new snap set up, and I've gotta say, it's booting about a
billion times slower than the old one.

I've had it up for about 5 minutes now, and I still don't have gdm.  I
just ctrl+alt+F2'd and I see gnome-settings-daemon, plymouth-log-viewer,
and gdm-simple-greeting at the top of `top`.

While typing this up, it finally came up, a good 10 minutes after
booting.  (Uptime says 9 minutes.)

Load is still 5.

Any idea how to go about figuring what went wrong?

I did:

  livecd-iso-to-disk.sh --force --xo --overlay-size-mb 512 \
    --swap-size-mb 512 F10-*.iso /dev/sdb1

Ya.  This spin is phenomenally slower than the last one - for some
reason the gnome stuff is CPU bound.  Also, I'm now getting errors from
pulseaudio and nautilus.  Could gnome-settings-daemon be the culprit?
It certainly seems to be at the top of the process table.

Hello XO Testers,
I'm Jeffrey Atkinson, a student at Olin College, and a member of the networking
subgroup along with the other Olin students (as we have 5+ XOs to test, we should be able
to try mesh setup...)
I got my devkey recently and have had trouble with writing the Snap 1 live image to the
4gig sd card. Fedora complained the card wasn't partitioned (as I was writing to sdb1)
and I repartitioned it, which seemed to work, but the image was not readable off the card.
My XO didn't boot off of it automatically or using boot /media/disk.
What is the live image file system? Does it matter -- is it compatible with the sd card?
Thanks, looking forward to getting into testing,
--Jeffrey

Yes, I had intended to get something up mentioning this on Friday but my
laptop decided that it preferred hanging to life :-/   Anyway, posted
now (for those who haven't noticed, I've been trying to post updates on
my blog which is aggregated on the planet,
http://katzj.livejournal.com/tag/olpc and then jlaska or someone else
has been moving to the wiki)

I don't remember Snap2 being notably slower with the quick test I did on
Friday as Jesse was uploading torrents.  Thursday was definitely slower
because there were SELinux policy problems, but I think the image that
went up was from Friday which had those fixed.

If you've only got a 4 GB card, this might be a little over-optimistic
on sizing.  The rootfs takes 3 GB and then adding another GB.  I wonder
if you ended up with a truncated either swap or overlay file and are
seeing problems as a result.

Try a slightly smaller swap (I've been doing 256 because I have a couple
of diagnostic tools + rpms on my SD card as well) and see if that helps?

Updated to the 711 and then wouldn't boot, Tried following the steps to get
previous OS:

[quote]To swap the "primary" and "alternate" images:

   - shutdown the XO
   - power-on *while holding down the* ' *O* ' *gamepad key*.
   - release the key when you're instructed to do so[/quote]

Boots then all I get is one dot and it goes no further. So either upgrading
screwed something up or it was already messed up. When I first booted it
took a long time, close to 5 minutes, so I am thinking there was already
something wrong. Where do I need to return it? Thanks.

Got the XO this morning, now I'm waiting for the SD cards to arrive to
get started doing useful stuff.

I've been working with various aspects of free software for 20 years
now, from the compiler toolchain to network infrastructure for high
performance computing.   Messing around with a small box like the XO
will be interesting, especially since there's hardware on them that I
don't have a lot of experience with (video especially).

FWIW, getting the JMRI (http://jmri.sourceforge.net/) suite working
seamlessly (ideally into a useful yum repo) with F10 is high on my
list of things to get done, on the XO and on regular hardware.

I'm in Hershey PA this week, so gdk sent it to the hotel. I have my  
4GB SD card so when I get there tonight I'll start working on it (I  
think I'm on the calendar for 6-8pm Eastern). According to FedEx it  
has been delivered.

I work along with Ben Reed at OpenNMS. Ben's also in the test and he  
got his XO this morning at the office. He's been working on the  
firmware upgrades, etc. and then getting his developer key. I'll be  
following his lead this evening.

XO came in this afternoon. I have requested a developer key, and will be 
  heading out to get the media tonite. Tonite I will go through the 
upgrade and the other steps.


Also.. the rubberized keyboard which I got is slightly ripped. Anyone 
know of a good glue to use to secure the key before it comes off? It is 
the / key, so I am pretty sure I will use it during testing :)

Just received mine - SD card still in the post.

Unlike many on the list - I now live firmly in user-land, have used

advance for the n00b questions ;)

Mine was waiting for me when I got home.  Looking forward to getting
started playing around tonight.

I've been working on Linux for about ten years, doing system
administration, engineering, developing, and now consulting at Red Hat.
My girlfriend is a Montessori teacher and we're excited about looking
into how these could fit into that style of education.  I also have
three young nephews and nieces that I'm looking forward to running it
by.

Michael.

[Elizabeth Ann West]

Wow, so the fedora-test-list is not for the faint of heart! I have 24
new emails and I could only make heads or tails of about half of them. 

I'm Elizabeth Ann West, a writer who lives just outside Charleston, SC
with my husband and an occasional visit from my adorable 8 year old
stepson. I am fairly new to Linux, about 6 months, but I'm very
enthusiastic. I joined Fedora Docs primarily as an editor, and also
contribute a great deal to my local LUG by planning outreach events
etc. 

Please bear with me if it seems like I ask a ton of novice questions, or
ask you to explain acronyms. In some ways, I might even be a good idea
of the types of issues a teacher or other adult encountering the XO with
a fairly strong technological background will run into. :)

I will purchase my SD card tomorrow while I am out in town. After that,
I look forward to contributing as much as I can, and eventually helping
OLPC with some of the curriculum aspects of the XO.

Always Smiling,
Elizabeth Ann West

Eawest just about everywhere.... :)

XO LAPTOP - Issue upgrading to build 767

[Christopher David Desjardins]

When trying to upgrade to the latest development build I get the 
following errors:
Trying disk:\boot-alt\bootfw.zip
Trying disk:\boot-alt\runos.zip
Trying nand:\boot-alt\bootfw.zip
Trying nand:\boot-alt\runos.zip
Boot Failed, Use power button to power off 

Also right before this I get a screen with a red warning that I have an 
unsigned key and I have a padlock in the upper right corner.  Makes me 
think I need the developer's key before I can do this?  Is this correct?

Thanks,
Chris

I did not need the key. Did you follow hte clean install steps? I 
followed them but had to actually reboot it manually one time.

XO LAPTOP - Issue upgrading to build 767 - RESOLVED

[Christopher David Desjardins]

OK I think I solved my issue.  I used a terminal to copy the files 
instead of nautilus and it worked this time.  So if you get the same 
error I got use cp from a terminal.

[Steven Salevan]

Hey guys,
I've received my XO this afternoon and it's a remarkable little device 
(and quite the chick magnet, it seems).  I'm looking forward to testing 
F10 on it, as the combination of F10 and a small form factor will 
undoubtedly transform it into an ace subnotebook.

So!  An introduction, eh?  My name's Steve Salevan and I'm a QA engineer 
for Red Hat's RHN Satellite product, where I perform regression testing 
and code Selenium-based automated tests.  I've been an adamant Fedora 
user for about 4 years now and I'm an active participant in several 
community software projects such as Func and Spacewalk.  In my free time 
I serve as the resident local music director/prog rock geek of WKNC 
88.1FM, NC State's student-run radio station, and you can hear my weekly 
show, The Local Beat, on Fridays from 5-8PM.

If anyone around Raleigh cares to test the OLPC mesh networking 
functionality, we should crash the Flying Saucer sometime.

Totally into that. I would also like to borrow someones locally to do 
some outreach at the school. BTW.. I picked up the following at circuit 
city today (paid about 5 to 10 bucks too much.. but hey.. the economy is 
great right?).

I followed the same directions as earlier:

And only had the following issues:

1) I had to change my wifi router to be channel (1).
2) I had to make the new media card bootable:

Mine was waiting for me when I got home, I am requesting the developer

A little background, I have been a Linux user for over 8 years (Red

as a Linux Engineer / Consultant. I am married with 3 kids (2 girls

Finally got a chance to get some time on the XO and as delivered the
unit would not boot properly and it kept powering itself off. So I
followed the steps of a clean install and it began going through the
erase process but only got about 5 lines of blocks (green) before the
unit shut itself down again when it rebooted I get nothing but a blank
screen and now the battery light blinking red.


Any suggestions?

Blinking red is supposed to be a low battery indicator.

Fully power off the XO by holding the power button about 10 seconds...
Reinstall the battery on the chance that the battery contacts are not
exactly so.

Charge the battery for 90 min with the green wall wart without
powering the XO on.

Boot the XO while powered on....  the escape key (upper left) and other
key codes may be verbose enough to help:

    http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Cheat_codes

With luck the update that apparently failed built the alternate boot
(Game pad 'O') and you can
get things back.

If the software install fell flat in the middle (after the erase and prior to
a sane state) you may need to build and boot from a USB key.

Updates need a fully charged battery and wall power for safety from
interruption.

Mine was on the porch when I got home this evening.  Initial boots
seems the hardware is doing fine and it seems to be in good shape so
far.

I've been using Linux in some form or other since late '99 and became
an active contributor with Fedora in early 2006.  I helped out with
the infrastructure team early on until my second child was born.
Since then I have been primarily involved with the Fedora Ambassadors
and any other areas I can help out in as needed.

ACK - just got it tonight.

As for the intro, I work at Red Hat on filesystems (looks like I should
study up on jffs2, maybe), and occasionally dabble in other things as
well - I also have a couple kids who are very excited to play with the
XO once I'm done with the testing (That's a laptop?  and we can use it?
 COOL!)  :)

So sorry my e-mail last evening was so terse; I now have coffee in me. :)

According to my wife, the XO arrived on Monday however since I'm out of
town for work, I wont get my hands on it until this weekend.  As such,
I've adjusted my testing times accordingly. 

As for me, I've worked with Red Hat products since RHL 5.1 in the 90's. 
I now work for RH as a Consultant in the Professional Services group
which means I travel pretty much everywhere working for our different
end-user customers.  I'm thrilled to be able to assist with such a new
undertaking and look forward to contributing comments on this effort. 
After I'm done, the XO will be going to my God son Will, who is 5 years
old, and - apparently - is already getting "made fun of" at school for
not having his own laptop already.

And I thought I wasn't cool because I didn't collect hockey cards.   How
things have changed.  Sheesh.

hi, 

my XO came in yesterday. its a beautiful little machine. i updated it
and requested a developer key last night. 

i live in Durham and work in marketing at Red Hat. i studied computer
science in college after getting started on Linux with Red Hat Linux 9.0
and then Fedora Core 2, 3, 4... 

im very excited to get involved in Fedora and OLPC. its nice to meet
everyone :)

Do I need a new image for that?

These are kernel modules - sr_mod is for accessing SCSI disks
(probably don't need it), but loop is for using loopback block
devices, which, in my limited understanding of LiveCD innards, is how
the overlay actually works - Jeremy?

Either way, these were probably excluded from the kernel.

This is one of the items that Jeremy has mentioned in items to try in
http://katzj.livejournal.com/440444.html is to actually create a
persistent overlay.  The temporary overlay takes memory, which is
obviously at a premium on the XO.

I apologize for the stupid questions. I got this when re-doind the SD

They're built-in now, rather than modules.  Future initrds will probably
be dropping the message to /dev/null

While the plymouth hotdog screen is displayed...

* hit <esc> to see the text boot up again.

It seems that each time you return to the text screen, plymouth appends
the boot.log output to whatever is already displayed.  So on a slow
boot-up ... I see>

Module sr_mod not found.
Module loop not found.
Module sr_mod not found.
Module loop not found.

A minor nit of course.

Mine came today. Stopped on the way home to buy the SD card -- of
three different stores I could only find 4G Extreme III SD(HC)s, so
that's what I have. I hope my universal reader is good enough for
it---

I've been a Unix developer for 20 years or so, mostly userland stuff,
but some kernel. I've been using Linux for about 15 years or so,
eleven as one flavor of *nix among the many I was using, and the last
four pretty much  exclusively for my day job.

I just got mine in today!  
Got the SD card, and I'm currently waiting on the developer key.

As for an intro, I'm a Software Engineer at Red Hat and I spend my days
working on Fedora.  I'm on the Infrastructure Team, Security Team,
Release Engineering Team, Scholarship Selection Committee, and I hack on
a variety of projects, such as bodhi, liveusb-creator, python-fedora,
TurboGears, func, PackageKit, yum, myfedora.

I look forward to helping out in any way that I can!

Cheers,

Hey everbody, I haven't gotten mine yet (shipping to Canada so it has to go
by dog sled and sasquatch) but I have a borrowed XO that already has a
devkey and my sd card, so I'm ready to start testing! I've been working and
playing with computers for almost 30 years about half of those years with
linux. I live in Vancouver and work in the IT department for a large law
firm. I have a beautiful wife and a four year old son who is very anxious to
help me test.

See you in #fedora-qa!

Hi,

I received my XO today! I'm also a student at Olin College. I have my SD card, but
I'm waiting for the dev key. I'm familiar with linux and I use Ubuntu somewhat
regularly but my experience doesn't go much deeper than that, so you'll have to
pardon any beginner questions that I'm sure I'll have.

Hi folks.

As the XO units start to hit the ground, I'd appreciate it if you can
respond to this thread with an ack that you've received your XO and a
brief intro of yourself.  We'll all be working together quite a bit, so
let's all get to know each other.

A reminder on getting started: see...

I received mine on Tuesday. I did not have much time to test the wireless
which did not work on WPA encrypted network. I am a medical student at
GA-PCOM.  I have used linux for the past 5 years.  I have a wireless network
at home.  However only have wired internet in rural central GA.  I have been
able to down loan the 767 image and request the dev key via the links
browser.

Last line is:

You should see a count-down on boot and be able to press the <Escape>
key in order to drop into OF

then what? I have an 'ok' prompt.

Nope.
But with the hint that sd: was the device name, I found \boot\olpc.fth
Was this in the docs somewhere I missed? Seems like a fairly significant
step to leave out.

I'm using my existing XO, which I got through last year's G1G1 program.
I've successfully booted to the desktop (well, it's still thinking about
putting anything *on* the desktop, but the desktop is there :)

Introduction
I've worked for Red Hat for over 6 years, used Fedora pretty much since
its beginning, used UNIX off and on for many years before that. I have a
background in software development for microprocessor systems and kernel.

The doc's maybe a touch confusing[*].  To test F10 you don't need to press 
Escape.  Once your dev. key is installed, just put the SD card in your XO 
and boot.  Voila: Fedora!

Like you, I'm a previous G1G1 owner, and would love to see Fedora working 
out-of-the-box on the XO.

[*] The part that says "You should see a count-down on boot and be able to 
press the <Escape> key in order to drop into OF" is just verifying that 
the dev. key is properly installed.

That essentially verifies that you have a devkey.
The machine should boot directly into the SD card provided you have a
SD card inserted with a bootable image, and the devkey.

I got my XO last night.

I'm a lawyer at Red Hat specializing in free software/open source
licensing issues.  Before coming to Red Hat I worked at the Software
Freedom Law Center where I represented the Free Software Foundation
among other clients.  I've been a (GNU/)Linux user since the mid-1990s
but have only been using Fedora since March of this year.  I'm married
and have a fifteen-month-old daughter and live in the Boston
metropolitan area.

Hi all -

I received my XO late Thursday and will be gearing up to begin testing starting Monday.
During the day, I am a member of Red Hat's Support Engineering Group with a emphasis
on Identity Management/PKI.

When all is said and done, my 6 year old son will be a *very* happy kid. He already has an
older Thinkpad 570 that runs a lightweight Linux 
distro complete with TuxPaint and the Childsplay suite. So, imagine how cool the XO will
be!

Looking forward to working with you all.

Hi all -

Just wanted to give a quick update on  where I am with testing.

I saw the message about needing the 4GB SD card a bit late. As someone else pointed out in
another thread, Circuit City has no problem taking 
the 2 GB card back for a full refund (within 30 days). Problem is, they stopped selling
the 4GB version. So I will be ordering mine online and 
will rush the shipment so that I can get in on the fun.

I did update my XO and have received my dev key. The updated interface is very nice.  No
problems connecting to my WPA2 network at home either.

Thanks,

  =MR=

Thanks, I did catch that. The 4 GB card is currently
only sale there for $54.00. However, Amazon is selling the OEM "static-pack"
version for 
$19.00 (no included RescuePro software). Mine should be here in the next 1-2 days. Looking
forward to some performance testing.

Apparently they can get stuff across the ocean faster than they can to Canada :)

Just got mine today in BC Canada.  Card should be here soon.  I'm a long standing
developer and have worked in a number of areas over the years.  Currently working on
Ovirt.

Looking forward to trying it out!  Thanks for the opportunity guys!

Which part of BC do you live? I am from Lower Mainland aka Vancouver.

I got mine too, but unfortunately without battery and power supply. They
were probably "lost" somewhere in the process. The original power supply
needs an US-to-EU plug adapter anyway, so I can solve it with 3rd party
one with the same specs. I have already mailed Greg about that issue.

Yes, mine arrived (in the UK) on Friday, but I haven't been able to
find an adapter for the power supply yet.  I did buy one but the
adapter won't fit because of a round guard around the socket.

Could you let me know what you hear about using other supplies?

I just got it via Fedex.  This XO has some difference with B4-2 version
due to its rough surface.
I am Luya, Fedora Artwork contributor who is currently studying Graphic
Design. I am very familiar with Linux command and XO laptop.

Updated to 767. I requested developer key for XO laptop which should be ready
the next day by the time I am writing this message. Sugar version runs smoother
and better on that machine than B4-2 especially the power management (finally,
a working suspend mode). I can't wait to try the display mode on Fedora 10
Snapshot 3.

I got the unit, I have it upgraded to 767, currently waiting for my
developer's key and getting the Fedora image to the SD card.

I work at Red Hat on systems management (RHN Satellite and Spacewalk).
I've been Linux user since 1993 or so, with Fedora being my main
distribution for the whole Fedora existence. My IRC nick is adelton.

My XO arrived today, yay!
