The XSCE repo, inherited from laptop.org has grown to 80MB+. Recently, then the raspberry pi3 came out, as an experiment, I started a branch off or XSCE, which was initially aimed at a quick and dirty demo that our code could run on top of raspbian. Later, when that demonstration, seemed

Ruben, Once the sugar rpms's are loaded via the install shell script, what remote ssh command will bring up the sugar desktop on the Nexus? (the sugar-toolkit-gtk3 rpm was not found. I'm wondering if that that is critical to bringing up the desktop). George On Sun, Sep 29, 2013 at 10:58 AM,

Re: [support-gang] [Sugar-devel] Sugar on a $100 tablet!

Just as another data point, Vivitar manufactured the $150 xo-tablet, and also is offering a $100 Camelio tablet which has a similar footprint. It has an external micro SD card, like the xo-tablet, but not the hdmi video out. I purchased one, and contacted the manufacterer, to see if they would

Re: [Server-devel] [XSCE] Dealing with huge xsce repo size

There's a political reason for the size of the repo. In my discussions with Daniel Drake at the last SF summit, we discussed the relationship between the work of XSCE and his finished 0.7 school server. The XSCE repo started from a clone of 0.7, which itself appears to trace back all the way to

I'm in Haiti, with limited internet access. Adam reports that the reboot at Silar's orphanage is stalling, and when he hits escape, we sees a red star traveling left and right, and an error message, which talks about a stop script. I am using rc.local to start up wvdial , which in turn

Thanks everybody for your responses. I learned a lot yesterday by trying things you all suggested. James' idea of using a XO1.5, and devalias. . .,fs-update . . to populate an SD card was quick, and booted on a 1.5. I tried copying the /boot directory of a XO1 to this SD, and it appeared that

[Server-devel] Root fs on XO1

Hi Jerry, et al, The motherboard flash on an XO1 is 1GB. The kernel, rootfs, provided by OLPC Boston for the XO1 occupies 745MB. The server software (XSCE) we have been adding on top of the OS occupies about 1.3GB. So obviously an additional SD card is required. My first approach has been to
