NetworkManager DNS bug
by Michael Cronenworth 29 Sep '12

29 Sep '12

Hi all, I updated my XO 1.75 to 12.1.0. Everything seemed to work great. I ran "yum update" on it and after rebooting my /etc/resolv.conf is no longer updated when the network connection is established. /var/log/messages: Sep 19 23:58:40 xo-74-39-52 NetworkManager[363]: <warn> could not commit DNS changes: (0) Could not replace /etc/resolv.conf: Device or resource busy I can add my DNS settings manually, but after a reboot they disappear again... so NM is lying to me. :) Is this a reported bug already? My Google-fu didn't turn up anything. Thanks, Michael

How to change this....
by Álvaro Castillo 29 Sep '12

29 Sep '12

Dear OLPC Fedora list, I wanna know.... how to change display manager? So, I have installed XFCE, So, on Sugar environment only I can change to GNOME or back to Sugar. How change this? Note, I find How to install XFCE on OLPC and maintain it here URL. http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XFCE#GDM_.28gnome_display_manager.29 Problem is systemd is not using initab... need update these section. Other thing is... How I can assign root password for ever. For example. I do sudo passwd root. Set password OK. However, I run su - and run to # without request any password. So... is dangerous... and how to setup user to ask what user I am interested to login. And not only login olpc user. Any ideas? Thanks! -- Álvaro Castillo http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Netsys Linux user #547784

Making an XO more like a regular laptop?
by Bruno Wolff III 17 Sep '12

17 Sep '12

I want to use my XO more like a normal laptop. So far I have switched to using gnome instead of sugar. Is there documentation on how to give a change for an authenticated login before one gets logged in as olpc? I have some ideas on how to do this and can probably figure it out, but was hoping the process was documented somewhere. Is there a reasonable way to have the XO use encrypted root or at least /home? (Worst case I could use an encrypted USB thumb drive for stuff I wanted protected.)
