OS Builder output img ?

2013-03-24 Thread lionel
Hi all, Thanks to the nice documentation on the Wiki, I’ve successfully created my first OS Build. For the moment, it’s just a 12.1.0 without any customization but I’m very proud of this first step! :-) Now I want to deploy it on my unlock XO-1 but I’m slightly disappointed by the output of

The fs0.zip file would only appear if you configured everything to make a signed build. You would only be able to make a signed build if you had a copy of the private keys for the deployment you are making the signed build for. Only OLPC has the keys to make a signed build that pretty much any

Customize default language with OS Builder

2013-03-24 Thread lionel
Hi all, I’ve seen that the « langs= » property in the .ini for OS Builder allow to choose the language sets installed on the image. I wonder if there is a way to specify the default language (FR instead of EN for example). Do I need to use a custom script for that? Thanks in advance for

i think the point john (gilmore) was making is that it's a bad precedent that simply because a) systemd offers a second-rate API for scheduling events, and b) we only have a couple of uses for an event scheduler, that we should therefore switch from a well-established API to a lousy API. instead,

Hi Lionel, the right way for this is to have the correct language set in the manufacturing data in the XO laptops. If you have this set right (and you probably do already), then just include french in the build, and on first boot the laptop will pick up the right default. Boot one of your XOs,

An auto install for an unlocked laptop does not need keys or signing. Just place the Open Firmware commands that you want to run in a file olpc.fth in the folder boot on the USB drive. Sometimes the commands may need careful writing to avoid certain features of Open Firmware. There is no action

IMHO, if we can speed up the startup time a litle, the change worth it. We are talking of end users systems, how many kids will add a cron task? And who propose the change is dsd, we know him and is a conservative guy, does not do change without reason. We did this in the same way the last 30

Hi Lionel, your questions in recent emails lack some background -- specifically, on how the XOs are configured. Without that info, we can give you many different answers because it all depends on how the XOs are configured. Can you tell us the output of .mfg-data for the laptops you are

If you change the LO tag for a laptop before the first boot of an image, its value will get picked up and used. - Stop a boot in OFW by pressing the ESC key. - fs-update (or copy-image) the new image into place - Change the manufacturing tag: change-tag LO fr_FR.UTF-8 / only works if the same
