The battery tricked made everything work fine again. So are either of you able to duplicate the the loss of keyboard or just sometimes? It appears to be associated with an upgrade? I just reproduced this by a fresh reflash of os39 on q3a15i. Stuck on the sugar name screen. However, without doing anything, the keyboard and mouse started working after about 20 seconds.

Re: [Sugar-devel] User workflow sharing Journal Entries over USB sticks

Sugar 0.82 writes that out in the internal 'datastore' storage. We can reuse it here. Ok - so last Friday Bert Desmet and I explored the relevant code in Sugar and started drafting out a patch. This is draft and incomplete - but I think it shows the direction in which I am looking http://dev.laptop.org/attachment/ticket/9657/0001-journal.model.copy-write-json-formatted-metadata.patch In the patch, I also separated the preview off, so for example if you have a turtleart 'Foo' Journal Entry, then we save - Foo.gtar - .Foo.metadata - .Foo.preview Reading base64 enc stuff in the middle of JSON hurts my eyes -- but maybe I should just keep the preview embedded in there to simplify. However it is we store it, we have to handle these cases: - copy from datastore to ext storage -- what the patch above does - rename in ext storage (which I think also has other issues -- ie: renames don't work ) - delete in ext storage - read the metadata [if available] when mounting the USB stick 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 ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
Rough timeline for freezing / alphaing?
Hi Chris, everyone, amongst all the constraints, pressures and complications -- I am wondering if there is any rough idea of when we should start to settle our tree? I don't want to be proposing changes on the eve of the freeze. So if it's happening soon, some bugs will just have to settle and wait, or the narrow patch preferred over the wider better patch. At the same time, I have a few things I want to see fixed in our builds but also have other competing pressures (deadlines with deployments, etc). If we're freezing very soon, I'll get this done first. If we're freezing a bit later, the reverse. 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 ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
XO 1.5 with USB webcam
Hi, I'm trying to get a usb webcam to work with the XO1.5, till now failure is the only thing achieved. Has anyone already tryed this successfully o know how to do it?

On the XO, what does dmesg say right after you've plugged it in? even if the camera works under linux (and it looks like the gspca driver may support it), we don't build or include any multimedia drivers in our builds. there's a long-standing need here, and we could really use a volunteer to take this on -- their work would have a huge multiplier in helping other folks. the need is expressed in http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/7326 -- there should be an add-on rpm consisting of all the modules that someone might want to support USB devices, but which aren't commonly enough needed for us to include in the base distribution. (i suppose we could also do it as a separate, full kernel rpm -- perhaps that would be safer.) paul The general state of the usb webcam is kind of horrible.

GSM/CDMA Modems support
Hello everyone,
Is there any chance to include CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_OPTION module in the
kernel for the F11-XO{1,1.5} builds? In our region, GSM/CDMA connections
are very popular so it would be nice to have support for them (for multiple
purposes: end-user usage, support team, etc.).
Thanks,
Martin (tch)

Also very important for the XS-on-XO kernel.
For how to get these thins to happen, see Paul Fox's reply to a
similar request about USB webcams yesterday...
