Re: New release of F11 for the XO-1 - Build11
This is certainly an improved build. Pippy finally works and adding the camera and power management should make it ready :) The record activity in this version does not record sound either. This was not the case in the os10 and looks like a regression. The focusing problem in write activity (when single or double quote is typed) also remains, though I thought the dsd had fixed this. The problem that I had with the new build system and the resulting link-heavy builds is that I could not rpm -i a different kernel. I was trying to see if the kernel from here ( http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2009-December/026909.html ) will fix the camera problem but the new kernel was nowhere to be found, even if rpm reported no problems during installation. Is this because this kernel predates the current build system, by design, or a bug? --- On Tue, 1/5/10, Steven M. Parrish smparr...@gmail.com wrote: From: Steven M.

Please all join us reviewing the latest OLPC/Sugar community projects over IRC Live Chat: (2PM EST Boston Time Today/FRIDAY -- in just over 2.5hrs from now!) http://forum.laptop.org/chat Then type at bottom: /join #olpc-meeting AGENDA: * Fast Review of the 4 latest (greatest!) HW/Project Proposals -- please join us advocating for, and/or reviewing shortcomings of these proposals: 1. OLPC Ideas for Moshi, Tanzania Area - Virginia/Washington DC, USA 2. Small Solutions/Hands of charity @ Keongo School - Kenya, Newburyport, Massachusetts 3. NACIF OLPC-Lending Library in Gomoa-Dasum District of Ghana / New York, USA 4.

OLPC Ideas for Moshi, Tanzania Area - Virginia/Washington DC, USA http://rt.laptop.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=50418 [SPECIFIC SITE NEEDS TO BE POSTED OFF http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Projects ] Requests (12?) XO-1.5 over 9 months Project Objectives: See referenced proposal [WHERE?]. OLPC input would be a major part of a sustainable, cooperative teacher capacity building effort in the Moshi, Tanzania area. 2. Small Solutions/Hands of charity @ Keongo School - Kenya / Newburyport, Massachusetts http://rt.laptop.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=52890 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Projects/KenyaSmallSolutions_HOC_KeongoSchool http://hoclaptop.blog.com [NEED UPDATING!] Requests 10 XOs over 4 months Project Objectives: We hope to make learning of Mathematics easier and more interesting by using the activities the XO laptop has to inspire interest and raise the average percentage mark of all the children by 20% by the end of the three months. 3. NACIF OLPC-Lending Library in Gomoa-Dasum District of Ghana / New York, USA http://rt.laptop.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=52942 [SPECIFIC SITE NEEDS TO BE POSTED OFF http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Projects ] Requests 4 XOs over 3 months Project Objectives: Our goal is to build a number of paperless libraries in which OLPCs replace paper books. NACIF is a charitable organization dedicated to helping young girls obtain a great education and, towards this goal, is building or equipping a number of libraries in remote villages in Ghana. The cost of supplying books to these libraries is however prohibitive and NACIF has decided it can provide serve more girls by using e-books. The OLPC is the perfect medium for such a project in the areas in which NACIF works. Most importantly, we want to encourage girls to create and share content about their community, something they cannot easily do with books. The content will include creating diaries, news articles, and photo-albums. Thus, the OLPC provides these girls with the active educational experience as opposed to the passive education they will gain through reading paper books. 4. Application - Turtle Art Curriculum Pilot - Needham, Massachusetts http://rt.laptop.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=54466 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Olin_university_chapter/Projects/Curriculum [SPECIFIC SITE NEEDS TO BE POSTED OFF http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Projects ] Requests 10 XOs over 6 months Project Objectives: The immediate goal is to run an after school program for 3rd-5th graders that teaches math and engineering concepts by using Turtle Art. We would like to demonstrate that programs like Turtle Art allow students to grasp concepts such as angles and variables at a younger age. We plan to document the curriculum and make it available online and to the OLPC Community. We are also attempting to find teachers willing to try out the curriculum in the classroom concurrently with our pilot or shortly after. There has been some interest from the Cambridge Friends School in partnering with us. Finally, if the project is successful we hope to continue developing and piloting curricula that use the XO and/or Sugar as teaching tools. 5.

Re: possible progress on XO-1 camera issues
I can (somewhat) use Record 64 on my XO-1 running Debian squeeze (*) and the latest OLPC git kernel. It doesn't work out-of-the-box (needed to recompile binary blobs) and seems to hang (**) when I try to take a photo, but the video overlay is shown. In what way does Record fail for you, exactly? (*) installed using DebXO, but now an up-to-date squeeze system with no packages on hold (**) Video overlay stops updating, busy cursor appears, no reaction to touchpad clicks. I can stop it using the Frame, though. No errors in log.

Modifying olpc-kbdshim for simplicity
With the 20100107 kernel power management seems to work just fine in f11 xo-1 os10. I am working on a project called Deborah which is a debian system with lxde for the xo-1 borrowing heavily from f11 for the xo-1. It's coming along nicely and I think it works pretty well but I still have to get power management working properly. I'm using powerd which relies on olpc-kbdshim to report keyboard and trackpad inactivity. Unfortunately kbdshim also does alot of other things that I don't want or need. The volume and brightness keys already work fine without kbdshim, for instance. I want to use kbdshim but disable all of its functions execpt reporting keyboard and trackpad inactivity. Is there an easy way to do this. I don't know enough yet about how kbdshim works to figure this out. Great work, I'm very impressed with f11 for the xo-1. ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Great work, I'm very impressed with f11 for the xo-1. the volume and brightness functions can be disabled or changed simply by specifying a different (or by not specifying a) script to be run -- see the usage message, and modify the hal startup file accordingly. other than those features, i think the rest (i.e., grab keys, etc) is all-or-nothing (without modifying the source, of course). paul =- paul fox, p...@laptop.org ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
OLPC does end run around IP addresses
I don't have wireless - my XOs are on ethernet (using interface eth1). Currently I am running without a DNS server - meaning that I need to issue explicit commands at each XO to set its eth1 IP address. Just now I've been testing with a deliberately non-customized XO-1 -- I have NOT issued any commands to it to set its IP address. It is running build 802B1, and has by default set IP addresses of 169.254... for its eth0 and msh0 interfaces (its ethernet eth1 interface has only a default IPv6 address). Netstat at that XO shows only the 169.254 routes. The other XOs on the ethernet have IPv4 IP addresses only on eth1, in the 192.168.1.. range. They have no IPv4 addresses for their radios. Netstat at those XOs shows only the 168.192.1 route. What I find interesting is that Neighborhood View at every XO shows *all* other XOs (plus their names) physically attached to the ethernet. 'olpc-xos' shows the non-customized XO with its eth0 (radio) IP address; the other XOs are shown with their eth1 (ethernet) IP addresses. My conclusion: The XOs are recognizing each other over the ethernet, despite having non-pingable IP address identities activated. mikus ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
