XSCE 0.3 RC2 Release Announcement
After three months of hard work and three weeks of working out the kinks in the release process XSCE 0.3 RC2 is ready to go. We went conservative this release. Emphasis on stability meant less time for new features. A big thank you to anyone who can help increase this stability out by testing RC2 in preparation for next weeks XSCE 0.3 release: --Tested * XSCE now runs on the XO-1.5,XO-1.75 and XO-4. * Modular Architecture: cleanly integrate extendable services. * XSCE runs on XOs' brand new OLPC OS 13.1.0. * Moodle is Back! * Content filtering via openDNS.com * Script for formatting of SD cards, and integration into systemhttp://dansguardian.org/ -- Experimental * ix86 x64 testing is beginning in earnest. * Highly experimental XO-1 functionality now demonstrated, tho NOT advised! * Auto-recognition and mounting of USB hard drives. Works but not quit well enough to handle the hard drive being jostled enough to cause brief disconnects. * Full offline installs possible going forward. http://dansguardian.org/ Grab an XO-1.5, XO-1.75 or a XO-4 to give XSCE 0.3 RC2 give a whirl: http://schoolserver.org/0.3 If you are just getting started with XSCE we suggest using the instruction at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Holt/XS_Community_Edition/0.3/Installingto install your first server. Once you are through the install, a good second step is to work your new server though it’s paces by doing the smoke test at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Holt/XS_Community_Edition/0.3/Testing For the truly ambitious, try putting your server hardware of choice through the tests at and update the results table at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Holt/XS_Community_Edition/0.3/Testing/Results. Til then, these little guys rock (TM, iLoveMyXO.com !) Monster thanks to the folks whose months of springtime work went into this imminent accomplishment-- traveling days from quite different parts of North America to make this community product real. -- David Farning Activity Central: http://www.activitycentral.com ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
Re: Install Firefox
Adding firefox did install firefox but gave following error while trying to execute on XO: $ firefox Error: Platform version '13.0' is not compatible with minVersion = 12.0 maxVersion = 12.0 - Here is my entry of configuration file - [root@fedora-arm examples]# tail -10 olpc-os-12.1.0-xo1.75.ini [custom_packages] add_packages=firefox [adobe_flash] plugin_path=/root/libflashplayer.so [sugar_welcome_activity] [buildnr_from_file] path=latestbuild -- On Thu, May 23, 2013 at 7:40 PM, Daniel Drake d...@laptop.org wrote: On Wed, May 22, 2013 at 10:36 PM, Basanta Shrestha basanta.shres...@olenepal.org wrote: Hi there, I use fedora ARM to build OS for XO1.75. I have recently successfully built OS12.1.0 using olpc-os-12.1.0-xo1.75.ini. Now I am in need of preparing a build with firefox and flashplugin. Is it possible? If yes, what addition do I need to make on which files? Please suggest. You can use the olpc-os-builder custom_pkgs module to add firefox, and the adobe_flash module to add the flash player plugin for ARM which you presumably already have stored separately.

Re: [support-gang] 1TB drive of quality open content on XO/XS--won't boot
Interesting. It doesn't prevent boot of an XO in my tests just now. Open Firmware simply ignores the device, and won't boot from it. Sugar sees the drive fine. # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=1M count=1 # mkudffs -b 512 --media-type=hd /dev/sdc For USB flash drives, I know that some devices do wear levelling differently for the FAT filesystem areas, so I would not recommend UDF for USB flash drives.
