Re: SoaS on the XO progress
Hi Marco, Hello, I spent some time trying to get Sugar on a stick images (which are basically livecd-tools based Fedora spins) running on the XO from nand. Converting the image to jffs2 and adding cafe_nand and jffs2 to the initrd was enough to make it boot. You're awesome! Thanks! 1 haldaemon fails to start and I couldn't find any error log. Maybe running it directly, rather than via init, will expose the problem? 2 X fades a couple of times and then hangs the system. Happy to look into this. I can reproduce 2 if I write the same image to an usb stick using Fedora XO livecd-iso-to-disk. Could be either a regression in the F10 updates or something wrong in the way SoaS images are built. I have absolutely no idea about 1, but it would seem to be related to jffs2/initrd, since it works fine from the usb stick. It looks like you're making F10 spins, then? I wonder what happens if you try a Rawhide spin instead. Could you share your instructions and code? I'd like to give this technique a try for our F11 rebase. (At which point the difference between OLPC's image and SoaS will be very small. Maybe there'll be no difference at all, even. ;-) Thanks! - Chris. -- Chris Ball c...@laptop.org ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Dear Sugar Community,
Since, this date is Feature, API and String freeze everyone was busy
getting their features in.
From a user point of view we want to highlight the following:
=== Naming alert on journal entry creation ===
The journal's search and browsing capabilities are less useful if all
entries are named the same regardless of their actual content or
meaning to the user. That is why an alert has been added that encourage
the user to set the title and other properties, like available in the
journal detail view, of a newly created journal entry. This alert is
only shown on the creation of a new journal entry, not on resume.
=== Display recent activities in the home view ===
In order to make easier to continue past work, the home view will
display recent entries in the activity palettes.
You can decide if you want the activity icons to represent the last
journal entry with a new setting in the favourites view palette:
=== Journal ===
Tomeu Vizoso has been doing a wonderful work of bringing the journal
implementation closer to it's design.The Object chooser can now be
filtered by data type.
A favourite filter has been added to the journal toolbar to give a
better way of marking entries as 'important'. More regression fixes went
into the support of removable devices after moving from maintaining an
index file on the device to the use of POSIX calls.
=== New ColorToolButton Widget ===
Benjamin Berg added a new ColorToolButton widget. It is already in use
in the Write activity to select a colour for the text.
=== Control Panel===
The 'About my XO' section has been renamed to 'About my Computer' to
reflect the use of Sugar on non-XO hardware. Morgan Collett added the
possibility to change the jabber server without restarting Sugar.
=== Autoconnect to Access Point ===
NetworkManager does autoconnect on Sugar startup to the last Access
Point you were connected successfully to.
=== Logout Option ===
Sayamindu Dasgupta added a logout option to the xomenu. Eben Eliason
added the accessibility of the xomenu to the groups and mesh view and to
the friends tray in the frame.
=== New Logic for the devices positions ===
The logic to position the frame devices has been reworked. Plug in your
devices and try it out.
[500 external devices eg. USB drive]
[400 3rd party devices eg. speech]
[300 transient connection devices eg. AP]
[200 transient devices eg. camera]
[100 static devices eg. battery]
=== Table of Content Support in Read ===
The Read activity now shows the Table of Content for PDF files which
support this feature. This eases navigation of large PDF files considerably.
=== Acknowledgment ===
A big thanks goes to all the translators, that are working so hard to
make Sugar a terrific localized environment and the infrastructure team
that provides our members with tools and services to make their live easier.
Thanks everyone for your great contributions!
