Rainbow problems
I'm having a bit of trouble with Rainbow in one of the activities I'm writing, FiftyTwo. I've attached the logs that I'm getting, for reference. Basically, FiftyTwo worked on build 656, which did not have the Rainbow security system. Now that I've upgraded to 703, it no longer works. AFAIK, Rainbow is supposed to limit access outside of the temporary user it creates, and FiftyTwo is violating that and accessing ~/Activities/FiftyTwo.activity/data, which is apparently outside the scope that Rainbow allows.

RE: Upgrade G1G1 using autoreinstallation method
Hi John, To see if we could duplicate our problem, we tried with another AP: We have a VSAT set up near the village where we are deploying a trial with 50 children in PNG. It has a reliable wireless AP and you can associate both "grown up" laptops and XOs no problems. The XOs will then see the Internet and also other XOs and the activities will share OK. This AP has a DHCP server on the wireless side. In fact, there is no other as the AP connects straight to the VSAT modem, which does not have DHCP set up, via a switch. If one pulls the cable out on the LAN side of the AP the XOs cease to share and quickly drop out and look for the mesh. So, this duplicated the problem I described. I am now told that a jabber service is needed to keep the XOs interested and reliably collaborating, that maybe is the cause? Do you concur? I do appreciate your help... David Leeming Cc: John Watlington; 'Bert Freudenberg'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Upgrade G1G1 using autoreinstallation method Not knowing more about what you've done, I have to ask a lot of v. simple questions. When you say "move on", you have manually associated each laptop with the AP once, right ? And the ESSID hasn't changed ? How realiable is the failure ? Do all XOs "move on" to mesh mode, or is this only a problem with a (random) few ? How many XOs on each channel ? You could be seeing a failure of DHCP to actually occur. Have you checked /var/log/messages on a failing laptop ? Cheers, wad On Jun 13, 2008, at 5:45 PM, David Leeming wrote: > Thanks John, but I did realise that simple fact.

Usage monitoring: any experience?
Hi, Our grassroot at OLPC France made a small "deployment" lately in a school (so far with one XO, no more) and we would like to monitor the activity of the users (activities, connections, load, etc.) as per day, week, etc. Of course, such monitoring activity will be more useful for our next projects in the following weeks or months (we hope to get some XOs soon via the developer's program) and we are planning to realize this monitoring activity both during and after the deployments. Do you have any experience in the matter? OLPC France may contribute to such an activity if there is sufficient interest among the other developers.
