 Quoting Jerry Vonau jvo...@shaw.ca:

 Hi All:

 This is to announce the latest OLPC-AU build for the XO-1.5 for testing
 featuring sparse file support [1], Browse-122, and Musicpainter-9 is
 available for testing [2].

 With this release if you don't upgrade the firmware prior to testing you
 will receive a harmless warning at the end of fs-update about writing 1
 block, this is resolved with q3a65 firmware.

 This newer firmware is not part of the build as not to trigger an auto
 firmware update on boot for those who don't want the latest firmware.
 For those who wish to use the latest firmware this is available from [3]
 and and the install instructions from [4].

 If you want to test this newer firmware but with out going though the
 above routine, you could inject the OLPC-AU security keys using our
 olpc.fth script and install OLPC-AU signed firmware. Download and unzip
 [5] to / on your upgrade media (SD or USB) Download olpc.fth [6]
 to /boot on your upgrade media and place bootfw.zip from [7] into the
 same directory. The upgrade will occur when you boot with your media
 inserted, ensure you have the power adaptor plugged in.

 If you plan to use the 4 button upgrade or NandBlaster (need keys
 installed as above), download to your upgrade media from [2] au77.zd and
 au77.zd.zsp.fs.zip, then rename au77.zd.zsp.fs.zip to fs.zip.

 The OLPC-AU menu expects the new image to be named fs.zd. Once you
 transfer au77.zd to your upgrade media, rename it to fs.zd to be able to
 use option 1 or 2 on the menu. The installation of keys and firmware is
 optional, you can use option 1 to install your image, just skip
 unzipping the keys and adding the firmware.

 The first boot will install the security keys then reboot, second boot
 will install the newer firmware then reboot, third boot you should have
 the menu screen. Pressing 1 at the menu screen should start flashing the
 XO. Pressing 2 will start NandBlaster, this requires fs.zip to be
 present.

 Happy testing,

 Jerry

11.2.0 release candidate 1 (build 870) released

2011-06-24 Thread Daniel Drake
Hi,

We're pleased to announce our first release candidate of our new
11.2.0 software release.

Information and installation instructions can be found here:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_notes/11.2.0

Quick links for those who know which files need to be grabbed and save
to USB disks:
http://download.laptop.org/xo-1/os/candidate/870/
http://download.laptop.org/xo-1.5/os/candidate/870/

This is a signed release candidate that can be installed on all XOs,
even those with security enabled.

We're looking for testing and feedback on all aspects of the system.
Thanks for any help you can offer, and for all the feedback that was
received throughout development.

Our scheduled release date is July 18th.



For those who have been following the development releases, here are
the changes since the last development build (23):

XO-1 has switched back from ubifs to jffs2 for this release. This is
due to the disk utilisation increase caused by ubifs and the switch to
partitions, which was also going to increase further due to the
signing process. Additionally, we have recent and unsolved reports
that ubifs cannot boot on some XOs. We will make ubifs migration a
priority for the next development cycle.

Initramfs tweaks were made to fix activation.

XO-1.5 firmware was upgraded to support the latest XO-1.5 motherboard revisions.

We still have an occasional wifi card hang which can bring down the
whole system (hard to reproduce). A fix was made in the kernel that
might have solved this.

Do not run this image on an XO-1.5 laptop that is using an old XO-1
ALPS keyboard (this generally happens when you have upgraded the
motherboard on an old XO-1 laptop). The keyboard won't work correctly.
Will be fixed for next release candidate.

Fixed issues:
#10779 Back/forward buttons do not reliably appear in Browse
#10956 Cursor moves to beginning while trying to edit activity instance name
#10631 Remove keyboard settings dialog
#11002 New gtk deps triggers float errors during eclipse for Moon :(
#10673 Disable Sugar debug logs
#10941 Clock, Abacus, HelloWorld, Fototoon not favorite

New F13-arm build os14 -- kernel debugging build

2011-06-24 Thread Martin Langhoff
The olpc-utils and (debugging) normality build.

http://build.laptop.org/F13-arm/os14/

Changelog:

* olpc-utils is now (mostly) working, this means that
  - system boots straight into Sugar or switch to GNOME. Note! the
desktop switch currently gets stuck after X stops, you need to switch
to a VT, and execute start prefdm
  - X.org starts on tty0
  - better X.org config file - DPMS is off, dpi settings are more reasonable
  - overall, a lot less hacks in the build

* /bootpart is mounted as you'd expect (thanks to olpc-utils), and is
ext2. This means, among other things, that runin can now pickup a
runin.tar.gz from /bootpart .

Note:

* Early boot kernel debugging is still enabled to help diagnose #10991 -

To install:

ok fs-update ext:\os14.zd

cheers,

New F13-arm build os15

2011-06-24 Thread Martin Langhoff
The olpc-utils and usable build.

http://build.laptop.org/F13-arm/os15/

Changelog:

This build is very close to os14. Unless you are debugging boot
issues, skip os14.

What's new?

* Will trigger runin scripts if TS is set to 'runin' in the mfg data
(thanks Richard!)

* Normal non-debugging kernel

* mmp-camera: implement contiguous DMA operation. Load the module with
buffer_mode=1 for
contiguous DMA mode.

 - system boots straight into Sugar or switch to GNOME. Note! the

Looks like the upload of this build didn't complete; there's no .zd.

os15 doesn't successfully power down the laptop.
It halts Linux and just sits there.

It does on mine issuing 'halt' and 'reboot' from commandline. From
Sugar, 'shutdown' works too.

Yep, we just realized that laptop had OS11 on an external SD...
OS15 should boot into sugar!

Re: Current oob - any clear F13 incompat?

 If we have a reasonably-complete F-14 soon, I'll just rebase the
 remaining interesting changes on top of OOB's master.

Making some progress on this. I have a much smaller, cleaner patch to
master. Looks like I am close to building a complete image with it.

 - Most of the code is in modules/xo_1_75 - where it doesn't bother
anything else. It still hosts various hacks that will be removed as
our infra consolidates.

 - Modules/sugar_activity_group needs a downgrade so that it doesn't
need bitfrost code. The bitfrost code on F13 isn't modularized so it
tries to read /ofw on the build host. Oops. We need a f-14 build host,
or bitfrost upgrade.

 - Some rpms from 'base' kspkglist need to be moved to platform
modules -- kernel.i586 for example :-)

 - Some rpms are just missing in F13-arm -- commented those out in
base/gnome/sugar kspkglist -- that will need to be applied for now,
removed later.

cheers,
