Re: mkliveinitrd bug

2009-02-09 Thread Marco Pesenti Gritti
Here are the problems I found so far:

* console completely screwed up, which makes debugging a pain.
* jffs2 related kernel trace while booting, does not seem to break things.
* Network related kernel panic at the end. Sometimes halt the system,
sometimes it doesn't.
* X does not start for some reason.

All in all we seem in a pretty bad shape :P Maybe setting up nightly
builds will encourage someone with more kernel experience then me to
take a look.

 Can we call them 'builds that are stages (or steps if you will)

 my mental picture of the whole setup, if they are not what I think
 they are. But I DO want the setup for those staging builds. I'll do
 just about anything you want... I'll bake you cakes, and send them to
 the US, I'll fix an Etoys annoyance of your choice (on my level
 though), I'll brush your shoes if I ever meet you, IF,... IF you can
 point me to the right pilgrim setup. It's nice to see those packages
 of the different stage builds, but they don't point to any repo(s). Or
 is it a puzzle?

 Please people, help me out here.

Sorry, I was just suggesting that whereever you found your 8.2.1 set  
up there may be a staging setup that better reflects the actual  
progress of 8.2.1. I have no idea where that is located.

2009-02-09 Thread Wade Brainerd
Okay, I'll get my scripts posted to that ticket.
Best,
Wade

2009/2/6 Tiago Marques tiago...@gmail.com

 Hi all,

 I already mentioned an Acer One boots very fast from flash, like 5-10s to X
 server with window manager loaded. I remembered that I can do a TAR.BZ2 of
 the whole root of the SSD and put it online somewhere, if anyone cares to
 have a look to see what they have done at Linpus to speed up the boot of
 this particular Fedora flavour.

 We could supposedly download it from here:
 http://www.linpus.com/products_1.php#

 But, at least for me, it's not quite working.

 I volunteer for that effort but would like to have some help from Wade,
 since I've mostly used Gentoo since I became a penguin, and I don't known
 much else. Gentoo uses a different init system from most distros, so I never
 did do much init system hacking out of Gentoo. When I did do it(OpenSUSE and
 Ubuntu, mostly writing init scripts and toying with the boot process), it
 was something I didn't want to do again, I love Gentoo's baselayout too much
 - it's simple to work with and supports parallel init script startup for at
 least three years.

 Take a look at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mg_HBgwRZS4 to get an idea
 of how fast it is.

 It boots the X and window manager and then starts loading network and ACPI
 stuff in parallel, it still takes a while for everything to be up but it's
 generally quite fast, especially if you just want to access local stuff.

 Best regards,

   Tiago Marques

  A patch isn't really appropriate but generally speaking I:
 
  - Followed Mitch Bradley's instructions for tar-ing /dev.
  - Replaced the initrd with a 3 liner using busybox that just mounts
  NAND and calls switch_root.  This involved undoing all the version
  stuff in the filesystem.
  - Replaced rc.sysinit with a 30 line script that starts the services I
  want and mounts the required points.
  - Removed the entire SYSV runlevel system.
 
  I was learning about all this stuff as I did it, but it still didn't
  take that long.  And I have a lot of plans to make it even faster.
 
  A few things don't work right, like I'm still trying to figure out why
  there are no network interfaces...But If anyone would like to see the
  scripts I'd be happy to share them.
 

 How about bundling them up and attaching them to the Improve Startup
 Speed ticket http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/4349 .  That way all the
 research that nobody does anything about because it diverges too much
 from the blessed Fedora will all be in one place.

 we need to base a release on the latest 8.2.1 changes here in Nepal,
 however I can't find a public pilgrim repo that is actually configured
 right.

If you wait about a day, cjb is doing a signed release based on staging

 Is this really true ?   If you've removed /versions, how does alt-boot

It could be true.  It's easy to remove /versions from the namespace
of the kernel/shell/etc.
It just makes it more difficult to perform the upgrade, since the
upgrader needs to manipulate /versions.  You could either (a) mount
/versions read-only (easy, but just requires a malicious user to
'mount -o rw,remount /versions ; /bin/rm -rf /), or (b) mediate
upgrades via the trusted 'oats' daemon (pid 1), which alone has access
to the /versions tree.  This was Ivan's original design, but Michael
and I never really worked out how rainbow trusted communication was
supposed to work.  IIRC the update protocol does has a separately
signed credential which Sugar can pass to oats to assert that the
requested update action is valid/trusted.

maintaining activity web information

2009-02-09 Thread S Page
(Please forward to whatever the sugar activity mailing list is.)

There's a lot of activity information on wiki pages to maintain, I 
couldn't find any documentation on how to maintain it all.
So I wrote 
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Maintaining_activity_web_information based on 
how activities like Etoys are set up.

I added a section about the fields to update when you migrate your 
activity to SugarLabs.

I think it's accurate, edit away if not.

It's clearly *way too much work* because of overlapping redundant info. 
  Perhaps this is why many activity web pages and 
Activities/Another_list have out-of-date info.

Maintenance should be much simpler.  I have specific ideas how to get 
there, but I'm not even clear where the info should live.  I think there 
has to be one web site where you can browse all activities, but is that 
site wiki.laptop.org or sugarlabs.org (or git.sugarlabs.org)?

Minimal steps to start hacking on Browse.xo?

2009-02-09 Thread Martin Langhoff
Hi!

I found the git repo for Browse xo! Hurray! (finding things in github
is hard work, or perhaps I managed to find the hardest path to it).

Not being a Sugar dev, I want to do some light hacking on Browse.xo
but I don't have a Sugar environment prepared to hack on it. How can I
get going with minimum steps...?

So far, what I've tried to do...

  1 - grab an XO with 8.2

  2 - yum install git

  3 - git clone git://git.sugarlabs.org/browse/mainline.git
mv mainline.git browse.git
   (btw, shoud this be called browse.git, or browse-mainline.git?)

  4 - run it from the checkout... how?

is there a better way?

cheers,

 Hi Ties,

 quote who=Ties Stuij

 we need to base a release on the latest 8.2.1 changes here in Nepal,
 however I can't find a public pilgrim repo that is actually configured
 right.

 If you wait about a day, cjb is doing a signed release based on staging
 version 30 of 8.2.1, which is pretty good.

Thanks, but since we're building custom images, I need to get hold of
the pilgrim setup, not the end-product.

 So did I choose the wrong branch, or is there a secret pilgrim-setup
 somewhere, with which the 8.2.1 staging images on xs-dev.l.o are
 built?

 I would really, really appreciate it if somebody can point me to the
 right setup!


 staging builds != 8.2.1 builds

 http://dev.laptop.org/~bert/8.2.1-pkgs.html
 http://dev.laptop.org/~bert/staging-pkgs.html

 Can we call them 'builds that are stages (or steps if you will)
 towards 8.2.1'? I will call them anything you want. I will also adjust
 my mental picture of the whole setup, if they are not what I think
 they are. But I DO want the setup for those staging builds. I'll do
 just about anything you want... I'll bake you cakes, and send them to
 the US, I'll fix an Etoys annoyance of your choice (on my level
 though), I'll brush your shoes if I ever meet you, IF,... IF you can
 point me to the right pilgrim setup. It's nice to see those packages
 of the different stage builds, but they don't point to any repo(s). Or
 is it a puzzle?

 Please people, help me out here.

 Sorry, I was just suggesting that whereever you found your 8.2.1 set up
 there may be a staging setup that better reflects the actual progress of
 8.2.1. I have no idea where that is located.

Sorry for the confusion. Yes indeed I'm trying to find the staging setup.
