These Haiti's laptops are a mix of secured and unsecured XO-1s. They are Give1Get1 redonations, mostly running Release 10.1.3 untouched, we'll be upgrading on the ground in Haiti within days.

We'd love if the longstanding http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Customization_stick could be fixed on 13.1.0 (worked like a charm less than a year ago) but yep that may not be possible this week.

Thanks Kevin & Tony for interim solutions-

Thanks Kevin,

I think choice 2 is the best given the current situation. I've never done an OOB build, I don't have any secured XO-1.0 laptops to verify the signing process. There's an extreme urgency to meet a Wednesday deadline, and I've got some other priorities to deal with before leaving, and cannot spend 100% of my time learning what I need to know.

I think choice 1 would be a better choice, if I had more time and confidence with regard to OOB and signing images.

    Adam:

    Assuming secured laptops:

    Choice 1, make the build on a stick using OOB with signatures.

    Choice 2, a two step reflash process:  use a regular build stick
    for the desired OS for the  reflash.  After the OS is flashed,
    remove the stick then reboot.  Now, reinsert the stick which
    *already* would have to have a little script that you have written
    yourself, (which you then you run from terminal). The script could
    manually anarchive the contents of the bundle directory and place
    them in the right folders, and set the permissions.  I'm sure
    George or Jerry can whip up a script that meets your specific need
    pretty quickly.  Be careful your bundles contain the right version
    of the sugar activities for the version of the OS, there are
    issues using old .xo with F17+,  and only install the supplemental
    ones, not ones already installed via the initial default re-flash.


    If unsecure you don't need signatures for Choice 1, and the build
    process is a little cleaner.

    Cheers

        As we're leaving to a 250 XO-1 deployment in Haiti within
        days, George Hunt & I were fine-tuning Nick Doiron's Haiti
        customization stick of 19 Sugar Activities (
        http://sugarlabs.org/~holt/haiti-shalom-activities-2011-2012/
        <http://sugarlabs.org/%7Eholt/haiti-shalom-activities-2011-2012/>
        ) only to discover
        http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Customization_stick no longer works
        on Release 13.1.0 and 12.1.0.

        Attached Screenshot JPG shows Customization Stick failing on
        13.1.0, also transcribed here:

            Traceback (most recent call last):
              File "/init", line 32, in do_in_child
                try: work()
              File "/init", line 53, in unpack_bundles
                lout(['/bin/mkdir', '-p', v])
              File "/process.py", line 118, in lout
                raise CalledProcessError(ret, cmd)
            CalledProcessError: Command '['/bin/mkdir', '-p',
        '/sysroot/home/olpc/.bootanim']' returned non-zero
             exit status 1
            Bundle installation complete; powering off in five seconds.

        Release 12.1.0 shows the same error, /falsely announcing
        "Bundle installation complete"./

        Is this resolvable?  We'd rather not, but we'll revert to
        Release 11.3.1 if nec, the last OS where
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Customization_stick works. Screenshot of success (on Release 11.3.1) attached to
        illustrate normal working behavior.  (Showing a new activity
        installing every second or few as desired, scrolling one per
        line, right before powering off...)

        All tips appreciated, cheers & thanks!
