New F11-for-XO1 build is available and needs testing
I have taken over creating builds for the XO1 from Daniel, and have created a new build of F11 for the XO1. This build "OS3" includes the pretty boot animations, and also replaces olpcsound with csound. I would apprectiate testing and feedback. I will have another build out early next week as well. Builds can be downloaded from http://dev.laptop.org/~smparrish/xo-1/builds/ The usual cautions apply: this is development code, there will be bugs. Installation instructions: use copy-nand to install os3.img with os3.crc. Steven = Steven M.

Re: [Sugar-devel] problem connecting to irc
Hi James, Thanx a lot James for your reply. I don't know why the problem occurred, but finally after a few hours I can now access the sugar irc. Maybe its due to the blessings of all the sugar mailing list users, lolz ... :) Regards, sumit.

NOW: Contributors Program Mtg! (Fri 2PM Boston time, #olpc-meeting)
Please join us (right now!) reviewing the latest OLPC/Sugar community projects over IRC Live Chat, 2PM EDT Boston Time Friday, right here right now :) http://forum.laptop.org/chat Then type at bottom: /join #olpc-meeting AGENDA: * New projects & libraries -- teaching them Community Outreach: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Projects#XO_Laptop_Lending_Libraries * Which projects might you enjoy Mentoring?! http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Projects http://rt.laptop.org/Search/Results.html?Query=Queue=%27contributors%27 * Fast Review of the 2 latest (greatest!) HW/Project Proposals -- please join us advocating for and/or reviewing shortcomings of these proposals: 1. Ceibal Jam - Uruguay http://rt.laptop.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=44651 http://drupal.ceibaljam.org/?q=contributorsProgram Requests 20 XO's over 12 months Project Objectives: This project aims to expand our Developers Program and increase the number of contributors. We plan to promote a paid internship program funded with donations and grants that will become available thanks to our new NGO status. This program is inspired by the Google Summer of Code program. The volunteer nature of the work makes our progress slow and despite our efforts we don't have the amount of contributors and finished activities we desire. We hope to get more things done with a paid internship program that could attract students. In Uruguay there is zero unemployment in the ICT sector and most university students can get a good job after their first year at school, then they get very busy with work and studies and are unable to contribute as we wish. This new batch of XOs would help us boost the internship program and hopefully increase the number of finished activities. Our measurable objectives are: - increase by ten the number of active projects by the end of the year (current number = 16) - increase by five the number of finished projects by April 2010 (current number = 6) - complete at least five paid internships by April 2010 2. XO Laptops for Mayan children in Guatemala - Sponsor in West Florida/FL, USA http://rt.laptop.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=44982 Requests 2 XO's Project Objectives: We believe that the combined efforts of individuals and organizations can make great ideas a reality. The combined efforts of OLPC, Rotary, Adopt-A-Village and Advanced Computer Systems can significantly change the lives of the Mayan children of NW Guatemala. Our objective is to deploy the XO laptops to one classroom at a time in selected Mayan villages of Guatemala. The XO laptop will empower the young Mayan children to learn and have a better future. Additionally, our business and community contacts will allow us to excite others about the OLPC concept. We anticipate obtaining additional donations for OLPC. We anticipate a first deployment of twenty XO's to be scheduled for a trip to Guatemala in Feb. 2010. We request two XO's now for training and familiarization. ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
Call for Help: SoaS & Display Manager (Auto-Login)
Hi everybody, I could use a hand with auto-login on SoaS. We've been using slim so far but will switch in the near future (in fact, I already committed a change in GIT), as we also need to login automatically after killing / restarting X. Therefore, the most feasible solution seems to be olpc-dm from the olpc-utils right now. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get it successfully to work and am lost with a black screen on tty1 so far. Looking at /var/log/message, the following stuff seems spurious: olpc-dm: Can't get tty name: inappropriate ioctl for device init: prefdm main process terminated with status 1 The occurs quite a few times and running initctl start prefdm manually from the console also gives a "prefdm respawning too fast". On the other hand, running olpc-dm directly as root works, though. If anybody has an idea how to fix this, meaning to get auto-login to work again, any help is greatly appreciated. We can also provide the current snapshot pre-built as an .iso file, if required. Feel free to contact me directly, too. Thanks, --Sebastian Dziallas for the SoaS Team ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

It has nothing to do with Sugar. The channel is hosted on a free service, FreeNode, which has some conditions of use, and these restrict where connections can be made from. You will need to resolve the issue causing you to be listed in dronebl before you can connect to freenode. You should determine why your IP address is listed. If you are purchasing IP service from a company, you could ask them for advice, but the situation is usually caused by someone else who used your IP before you doing something particularly evil. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
