I propose reviving the use of a triangle for Acess Points. Triangles shouldn't be shun away, after all the greeks loved them :) If this was acepted, you could even make the school server AP be a variation of this triangle, or wear a emblem, so as to be easily spotted in the neighbourhood view.

Re: Breaks yum also? (Was: Missing critical dependency, Koji)

2008-08-17 Thread teoverton
Am I right in thinking that all yum installs are still failing because of this? I'm testing joyride and can't seem to install any dependencies on any of the three xo-'s I am upgrading. Or is this another problem? Is there an alternative install method? Sorry if this is basic, but I'm stuck.

Hi, I was wondering if you guys can tweak the system test a little bit. A test that runs when I press left on circle bottons. In the keyboard testing, is it possible for you to change it so that each key has to be pressed? Then, we know which one is not working. I used to work in a cellphone

Anyway, in the meantime, we have raw rpmbuild, mock (which needs to be configured not to use Fedora's koji, but this is not so hard), our own buildroot (probably hidden away somewhere on weka.laptop.org), and the joyride dropbox system. In conclusion, we'll live. I got an impression that all

You can count me in on that... I've been pushing for debian or ubuntu to be the XS platform for a while, and I know Martin Langhoff sort of feels the same way... but since so much work has already been done on Fedora, we should see how feasable it is to make 2 concurrent XS rollouts... but yeah

Hi all, One more argument for a debian based XS: Debian supports various non-x86 architectures, which are good candidates for a compact, affordable, and low power XS server: - The mipsel based fuloong mini ( http://www.lemote.com/english/fuloong.html ) engineered by the chinese Jiangsu Lemote

Hi all For the porting efforts people can begin packaging the different software tools, provided by the XS, without waiting for all the OS support. For example the upgrade server was originally developed for debian. http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Upgrade_server Just a though. :). On Sun, Aug 17,

Hi Michael, quote who=Michael Stone Uruguay already uses a Debian-basex XS (which is quite different from Martin's) and which includes some MAC-address filtering technology. (They've also expressed great interest in expanding this technology into a full 802.11i/802.1x/EAP/RADIUS

Would be interesting to know more on Uruguay's Debian based XS.. any links? Besides, if I remember correctly, I guess Tony Pearson was also part of that team or maybe not. I have mixed feelings about the current XS builds, guess I'd have preferred the XS being a lot more efficient and to run
