Thank You so much for your help with that Steve! Now I have another similar problem, and I have been wondering about this for awhile anyways. We just updated to 767, and now we get a message when trying to open some programs that says " Journal is Full". So we went in the journal and deleted every entry. But when I hold the mouse over the journal icon it says there is only 79 MB free. So how can we "explore" the files that are on the XO but not in the journal? There must be other temp or junk files on the xo that are hidden somewhere. Is there a way to recover some disk space? Thank You so much for your help Steve Holton wrote: I've heard a few reports of "journal disappeared" before. Essentially, if the internal Flash disk fills-up, there isn't enough room for the XO to start-up properly.If you were downloading a lot of largish PDF this could be an explanation. IIRC this was a bug in the 650 release which was partially corrected in the 656 release. The first thing to try: hold-down the "circle" key on the game pad while you turn the XO on. If there is a prior 'back-up' install available, this will boot the XO into the backup. You should be able to delete some files from there. More info here: - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Startup_Diagnosis If that doesn't work, you may be able to use console to delete some of the offending files. Access the console by pressing the CTRL key (solid diamond) the ALT key (open diamond) and the Neighborhood (8 dots in a circle) key. This requires knowledge of the Linux console, so not for the unskilled. - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Terminal_Activity#The_Console The third option is to reinstall the operating system from a USB disk or an SD memory card. Details are available here: - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Secure_Upgrade The Fourth option is to check the list of Community Repair centers to see if one is in your area. Some repair centers occasionally run repair clinics where trained volunteers can get a look at exactly what's going on with your particular XO and make a much more detailed diagnosis. - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Directory_of_repair_centers It doesn't sound like a fatal problem, whatever it is.

We have been using it since November and just the other day, the journal stopped coming up when I turn it on! Now I don't know how to get to the files(.pdf) that I was reading. Any help is greatly appreciated. Letting Love Flow Listen _______________________________________________ Olpc-open mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/olpc-open |
