Re: [Testing] New F11 for the XO-1 Build 7
Thanks for this! I've tried it on an XO-1 and it updates fine. NM also works and connects to a wifi ap properly. I just noticed some things: 1. Panel has an email launcher but there is no associated email application for it. 2. Cheese doesn't recognize the webcam at all. 3. Buttons from dialog boxes get blackened out when hovered with the cursor (a refresh issue?) 4. The battery applet shows that laptop battery has no charge (0.0%) 5. No sound? Also the choice of Firefox as the default browser could be a potential issue because the performance of the browser is horrible caused by the very slow refresh rate of the display. Would something like Epiphany be more appropriate? Some of the issues presented above might have been to be known issues from the start and will be addressed in the future. My apologies if this is the case. Best, Jerome On Wed, Sep 23, 2009 at 7:39 AM, Steven M.

This repo is used in the creation of these builds so it makes sense to enable it by default. Also included is a new Fedora-olpc-kernel repo, this along with enabled repository protections will prevent the stock Fedora kernel being installed if the user does a yum update. Delta RPMS have also been enabled, this will decrease the size of the downloads when doing an update. -- Cheers, Jerome ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

The properly-signed build is in place now, so we're all set for release: http://download.laptop.org/xo-1/custom/g1g1/gg-802-1/ Laptop update went well without hitches. However, it seems the activation server issuing the developer keys have its certificate expired and Browse is complaining ala Firefox 3 behavior. To grab it from wget, you have to do --no-check-certificate Is this confirmed? That's what happened in my case just now.

At similar price points, the XO-1 puts the Nintendo DS, Tapwave Zodiac, GP2X, Sony PSP, Chumby and iPods + iPhones to shame. I'm not so sure of this. Nintendo is in the business of selling software and their consoles are just the drivers to it. So with iPods and PSPs. And most of these items are pushed to drive sales of a bigger item (a Wii, a MacBook, or a PS3) so there is some sort of selling strategy involved. Selling individual XOs in retail could be a driver though, to make up for the disappointing G1G1 2008 sales, but its pretty damn hard to compete on sheer geekery alone. -- Jerome G.

At least they're not completely shutting down the fabrication of existing technologies that would still need Geode-type of components. They (AMD) have been struggling for quite some time, and I guess the other players have been doing their share of improvements into low power computing (Freescale, VIA, etc.) -- Jerome G.

AFAIK before they tried to do the OLPC thing but eventually cozied up to Intel with the Classmate but nothing much prospered there I think. Although since Canonical has a program for Netbooks they already have some infrastructure for it. -- Jerome G.

Re: journal tagging
On Sat, Oct 11, 2008 at 3:49 AM, Carlos Nazareno [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: By tagging, do we mean tagging like in blogs where you have multiple terms that can be used as filters, or tagging as in more like giving the file a name? The only thing I think that may work quite well with tagging in a journal perspective is that it (the tagging action) is personal in nature rather than being done in a folksonomy (social, collaborative) manner. If the journal will always become personal, then tagging will make perfect sense, but when activities/files in the journal are moved and collected in one place (say the school server), then it may result to one very big tag cloud with similar meanings but different interpretations. -- Jerome G.
