get developer key - gfx glitch on submit button
Hey all. On 2 XOs I tested, running 767, whenever I go to the request developer key page in the browse activity, the SUBMIT button has vertical stripes of randomly colored pixels running across 'em. It's no biggie and really doesn't affect things, but a little annoying nonetheless.

Well, it's still readable (you can read the text between the pixel noise stripes). It's fine since I'm used to mucking around with beta software, but it might not be so good for newbies XO who're not used to seeing weird stuff. Seeing graphical glitches can be scary. -Naz -- Carlos Nazareno http://twitter.com/naz404 http://www.object404.com -- interactive media specialist zen graffiti studios http://www.zengraffiti.com -- User Group Manager Phlashers: Philippine Flash ActionScripters Adobe Flash/Flex User Group http://www.phlashers.com -- if you don't like the way the world is running, then change it instead of just complaining. ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Deployment weekly meetups - starting Tues January 20th 2009
Hi all, As a person running some OLPC trials, I have been struck by the lack of communication and technical peer support of deployments. I thought it would be useful to kick off weekly meetups between people doing deployments to share knowledge, ask and answer questions, and to generally touch base with others doing similar projects :) Anyone is welcome, and I expect we'll also see people from developer and other communities come along, but the focus will be on deployers' needs. Considering deployments are happening all around the world in all different time zones, I've committed to running two meetings a week. One at 3pm Tuesday Boston time, and one at 3am Wednesday Boston time and are expected to last about an hour. This way no matter what time zone you are in, you can meet up with others. If one meeting ends up being far more popular than the other, then we'll just do just one meetup, and I've tried to choose a pair of times that balance different regions I know are doing deloyments today. Because I'll be facilitating both meetings, I hope to ensure we don't lose information transfer between the different groups. Appropriate info gathered will be documented publicly and hopefully the deployment guide continually updated for others out of this process. Feedback from deployers will also be fed back to developer groups and hopefully this will help facilitate developers better understanding the needs of deployments. Meetups will be via IRC (which will make it a little easier to script into other languages and to record) and a basic agenda will be maintained on the wiki here: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Deployment_meetings Meetings to commence January 20th, and all details are on the link above. Looking forward to meeting more deployment gurus out there and hearing about the awesome successes we are all having around the world! Please forward on to any lists or people you think will be interested. Thank you!

These are really bugs, I'll file BZ/Trac's on the issues that I found if they're not resolved by a later release. Think I'll just start out fresh install, less to editing... I've excluded the kernel from being updated at this point, I'll try a newer kernel at some point later, just waiting for yum to finish and try rebooting this puppy. Woohoo reboot time... rats network is broken... Cool. Another bit of good news is that I tackled JKatz and he confessed to having (probably) backported the fixes onto the F9 kernel.

Re: [Server-devel] Browsing school server
Hi Martin, I am aware of what Moodle can do but disagree that file access should always be through it. It's much easy to go straight to the folders of content rather than having to log on and enrol on courses etc. Much of the time in the way I see teachers using the server they won't be working from a courses point of view. Perhaps they should, but we don't have that approach figured out yet. We need maximum flexibility in accessing content. The who.php page is the first page that comes up and that's where one makes the decision about what one wants to do - use Moodle or not. So that's where I need to add the link, or otherwise change the page that comes up when one clicks on Local School Server on the Xo browser. As I said, I have reinstalled 0.5-1 twice and same result. I haven't tried to revert to 0.5-0 to re-confirm that I don't have the same issue, will try and do so later this week.

The actual default page is /var/www/moodle/web/index.php ... which re-directs you to the authentication facility. Once we have the single-sign-on stuff sorted, it will be transparent, and you won't see the 'who.php' page. With version 0.5-0 I was able to add this link to the who.php page: href=/var/www/html/content/index.html and get to the folders of browse-able content as before. hmm - there is a better place to put the link - that 'who.php' page is not really the right place... With 0.5-1 it does not seem to work; unless I have made some stupid mistake, I have reinstalled it twice but it reports on the XO browser: Not found: The requested URL /var/www/html/content/index.html was not found on this server. That is very weird. Maybe moodle didn't get installed correctly? Which 0.5.1 candidate did you install? I suppose one could create up a course on Moodle for each of those folders but it's not always the most convenient way to do it. There is an moodle-based way to do it... it will be easy once Moodle is better configured, for now it's a bit awkward... 1 - Log in as the 'admin' user to moodle - you will find the password in /etc/moodle/ . The actions you need to do should be doable by any account with course creator rights but I haven't set this correctly up yet. So using the 'admin' account is a workaround during the 0.5 series :-/ 2 - We are going to put the files under the 'site files' -- that is, they will be managed just like files belonging to a course, but they are available to any user because they belong to the site course, a magical course within moodle. In simple terms, evertything you see in Moodle's homepage 'belongs to a course'... this special 'site course'. 3 - If you have lots of files, you get the unenviable task of uploading them all - not fun. If you can use SSH / SCP or put the CD on the actual school server, you can use the commandline to put them in /var/lib/moodle/ , in the directory that belongs to the site course - usually named 1. Again, this is a temporary - and ugly - workaround. Moodle *can* do WebDAV, which makes life _so_ much easier... So that's the workflow. Ugly and kludgy. There is an alternative you can also use - less moodle-centric, and may be unsupported going forward 1 - create a new directory: /var/www/mylocalcontent , put your files there 2 - add a new apache config file in /etc/httpd/conf.d - in that file, you need an Alias line, and a Directory section. I think it needsto be something like Alias /mylocalcontent /var/www/mylocalcontent Directory /var/www/mylocalcontent order allow,deny allow all /Directory 3 - Edit the moodle header include to add a link to that content - look in /var/www/moodle/web/themes/xo/header.html 4 - Optional: enable the apache-based webdav extension, so you can manage this content via WebDAV. This will require quite a bit of configuration... but if you add/remove/edit content frequently, can be worthwhile... cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org
Re: [Server-devel] Browsing school server
Anna, Many thanks. It's weird because I was using 0.5-0 and I only needed the single link to /var/www/html/content to get back to the folders of content and browse them. I did not need to do any of the suggested actions below. But I will try this and learn something new! Thanks.
