"I too" since before joyride 1850 (sorry, I don't know exactly when it started.) I have no SD card in slot.
I frequently travel with my XO around town during my various meetings and volunteer activities. Great little device for taking quick notes at the table. :-) Take it to one meeting, take notes in Write... when done... close the lid. Off to the next meeting, open lid... light above camera blinks on/off. I push around on the touchpad to active... light blinks again.... screen appears for a split second, then goes dark. I push a few keys, the light blinks evertime I hit a key.. but screen doesn't come back. I've figured out by trial and error, holding down the power button for 5 seconds... release.. and it comes back. However, if much longer than that.... shuts down completely the power. Unfortunately, two of the meeting notes/minutes I have taken are *poof*. I opened them up a few days later, and only a few words in the Journal saved session. :-/ I never clicked on 'Kept', and had assumed that the Journal would save the latest version. I suspect that the suspend feature either corrupted the document during going into suspend mode.. or later on.. after a joyride update... the document was corrupted. I have a backup [1] of the /home/olpc files shortly before one of the meetings, and still trying to hunt down possible fragments. But I believe the other one is gone for good. :-/ Got to be more careful in the future. I think frequently clicking on 'Kept' may minimize the possible corruption... Along with clicking on (and completion) of 'Kept' a few minutes before closing the lid... may help too. (I typically close the lid while Write is open, maybe returning to 'home' before suspend will also help?) :-/ Sadly reminded that 'joyride' is actually a beta product. --Ixo [1] My handy dandy 'xo-backup-server', from http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Ixo/Script > 2008/4/15 Martin Dengler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > I've had these symptoms often over the course of the last two months, > > with various update.1 / joyride builds.
