FP.o/wiki/XO updates
by Karlie Robinson 28 Nov '08

28 Nov '08

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. ~Karlie

Fact-check - OLPC News Article
by Karlie Robinson 25 Nov '08

25 Nov '08

I was asked by Wayan Vota of OLPCNews.com to prepare a short article about the F10 SD cards. The ending needs a wrap up, but could you check this rough draft for me? http://on-disk.com/cms/index.php?wiki=preview Anything jump out at you as wrong? Either fact wise, or spelling/grammar wise? Thanks in advance. ~Karlie

Final check on F10 comments/testing
by Ed McNierney 25 Nov '08

25 Nov '08

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! - Ed

Can not launch sugar in rawhide
by Bryan Kearney 21 Nov '08

21 Nov '08

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]
by Paul W. Frields 20 Nov '08

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... :-) Paul ----- Forwarded message from Karlie Robinson <karlie_robinson(a)webpath.net> ----- Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2008 12:35:56 -0500 From: Karlie Robinson <karlie_robinson(a)webpath.net> To: "Paul W. Frields" <stickster(a)gmail.com> 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. Paul W.

Package Front Mock-up
by Karlie Robinson 20 Nov '08

20 Nov '08

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. ~Karlie

Adding new Activities via RPM
by Bryan Kearney 20 Nov '08

20 Nov '08

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? -- bk

Instruction Card
by Karlie Robinson 20 Nov '08

20 Nov '08

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 ~Karlie
