snapshot madness
by Mikus Grinbergs 28 Apr '10

28 Apr '10

Disclaimer: I am not asking for help; I am sharing my experiences. Very strange (but non-reproducible) thing happened. I have an os13 XO-1 system which I use as a data repository - always up; never rebooted. I noticed that its X-session was blank (and unresponsive) - I shut the system down from the text console. On reboot, I saw that the Journal was chock full with many hundreds of "Snapshots" -- all of them blank. It might have been that something got inadvertently placed on the keyboard which kept both 'alt' and '1' depressed - but when I experimented, that produced only a single snapshot. If not external, then it appears that the software must have run wild. mikus

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Tiny Core Linux for XO-1 and XO-1.5
by Yioryos Asprobounitis 26 Apr '10

26 Apr '10

I do not mean to pollute the thread... :-) but I just build version 02 of tinycore linux for the XO-1 (see announcement here http://ftp.cc.uoc.gr/mirrors/linux/TinyCore_for_XO1/Announce%20tc-xo_02%20f… ) using the latest olpc kernel _unmodified_. So I was wondering if there are any plans for F11-XO1 builds to make it to updates.laptop.org (even for testing proposes) so the build scripts will not require an XO-1 running the newer kernels, and could work in any linux machine. thx

Hi Tiago, > Tap to click is still working for me after using olpc-upgrade. Yeah, this required a new olpc-utils package that didn't make it into the build. It'll get in the next one. Thanks, - Chris. -- Chris Ball <cjb(a)laptop.org> One Laptop Per Child

Closed as duplicate of #9913, let's move there. ;-) The Sugar code doesn't see changes to the volume control made by other applications. The Sugar code was designed to control the volume itself. Sugar would have to subscribe to the mixer changes. I've checked, and there's no open ticket in sugarlabs.org for this. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/

Record-67 in os121
by Mikus Grinbergs 24 Apr '10

24 Apr '10

Disclaimer: I am not asking for help; I am sharing my experience. Tried Record-67 in os121 -- no improvement over either previous versions of Record or previous versions of the operating system build. Photo panel - I'm satisfied with this capability -- though the result is *substantially* darker than a photo taken with Record-67 on os13 (brought up to date by manually installing all the latest rpms). Video panel - video recording worked, but (by default?) quite poor picture quality. Did NOT have any sound on playback. Could use Browse to look at the output object (but picture only snapshot-size). Etoys displayed output object as text, not as video. Audio panel - except within Record, could not playback output object. Neither Browse not Etoys could open the output object. mikus

the old keypad behavior gets too sensitive
by Mikus Grinbergs 18 Apr '10

18 Apr '10

I usually operate my XO with an external USB trackball, and have no problem with cursor positioning. Lately I've often needed to operate XOs (hdw early G1G1, but F11 build) with the native keypad, and I can appreciate the many complaints I have heard about using the old keypad. In my case, the keypad exhibits too much sensitivity. Whenever the humidity is low, just waving my fingers half an inch above the keypad is enough to result in cursor position movement. And the cursor jumps both as I am bringing a finger (through the air) down onto the keypad, AND when I am lifting the finger (through the air) away from the keypad. [Also, just placing a finger at the "mouse buttons" at the bottom of the keypad is often enough to cause the cursor position to change.] Leaving the keypad alone (to give it time to self-calibrate) does not seem to help. The four-finger recalibrate works, but its effect soon "wears off", and the keypad goes back to being "too sensitive" again. Are there any software parameters that I can play with, to try to "dampen" the unwanted cursor position changes that I'm seeing ? Thanks, mikus
