Yeah, activities.sugarlabs.org seems to be having some issues. A build I
made yesterday had the same problem. But today it seems OK.

 All activities launched (that were included in the build image) - I 
 did not actually test their operation.  When I closed Implode, it 
 had a 'keep' error.  Pippy was still missing pippy -- somehow I 
 managed to get Pippy into a state where after I exited, the Pippy 
 launch screen reappeared, and kept pulsing *forever* (until I 
 restarted Sugar).

Let's keep an eye open for these in XO-1.5 builds too. I think all these
bugs are present there as well.

Thanks,
Daniel

We shouldn't have builds that can be released with failures to install critical 
components, and I don't think we can blame ASLO for this.  I think the build 
sequence should either cache the required content or fail to proceed if the 
required content is not available.

Customization stick for XO-1.5

2009-11-24 Thread Daniel Drake
I wrote a dracut module that can produce an initramfs for a
customization stick. It's based on Michael's code for the
currently-available customization stick. Released in
dracut-modules-olpc-0.3.0.

Build instructions here:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Customization_stick_development

We should build and sign one of these before first XO-1.5 OS release.
http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/9738
I can do the building nearer the time, someone else will have to sign
it.

updates.laptop.org now serves F11-for-XO1.5 builds

2009-11-24 Thread Daniel Drake
Hi,

updates.laptop.org now serves F11-for-XO1.5 builds through olpc-update.
However, olpc-update is a little broken in the latest OS release.

So, once os45 is released (today) you will have to install it using the
usual reflash methods.

From that point, you can upgrade to os46 and onwards using e.g.
olpc-update f11_xo1.5-46

It should work as well as olpc-update worked before. Please help test
it.

The first person who tries to sync to a specific OS version will cause
the updates.laptop.org server to go out, download and unpack the build
locally, before serving it to you. So don't panic if it doesn't start
for a minute or 2.

Yes, as long as you have a usb image in the right shape. We don't have

Tried an extensive “smoke test” with os9.

Connected to MAC filter WEP WiFi. OK. 
Auto reconnect on reboot. OK
Auto-updates. Fount measure from v21 to v27
Terminal is missing. The Browse activity points to the old OLPC repository. 
Downloaded Terminal v19 from there.
Edited fstab to add swap on an SDcard. Reboot OK.
Did yum update. Installed: kernel i586 2.6.31_xo1-20091123.2004.1.olpc.cf78794. 
Updated: kernel-firmware  i586 2.6.31_xo1-20091123.2004.1.olpc.cf78794,  
bitfrosti5861.0.4-1.fc11, etoys noarch  4.0.2332-2.fc11, sugar-toolkiti586 
0.84.5-1.fc11.2 and sugar  i5860.84.7-1.fc11.6. 
 
Reboot. Control panel still shows “Sugar:0.84.2“

Installed mc, yumex.
Then I went to activities.sugarlabs.org and downloaded almost everything but 
the GCompris. Specifically:
Terminal v30, Measure 29, Read Extras 17, Cartoon builder 6, View slides 10, 
Finance 2, Info Slicer 10, Flip Sticks 3, WirelessGraph 7, Jukebox 13, Colors 
15,  Slider Puzzle 8, Jigsaw Puzzle 7, Bounce 7, Story Builder 15, Poll 22, 
Joke Machine 10, Develop 39, Socialcalc 1, Play Go 6, Tux Paint 3, Clock 5, 
Library 1, Get IA Books 3, xoEditor 2, Arithmetic 1, Watch Me 2, Listen and 
Spell 2, Block Party 7, Scribe 2, Stackattack 60801, Breakout 60801, Card Sort 
4, Eat Boom 2, Sliderule 5, Domino 7, Kaleidoscope 12, Deducto 4, Color Deducto 
4, falabracman 1, Hop-a-Round 2, Gonozco Uruguay 7, XO help 1, Micropolis 8 
and FoodForce2 1.

Reboot start testing

-- The Good News --
Most of the activities work!
Measure 29 is now OK!
Record now records and keeps sound files.

-- The Bad (old) News --
Battery monitor, Camera, and Pippy still do not work. 

-- The Bad (new) News --
XOHelp does not start
Sliderule starts and quits immediately after it gets the application screen
Listen and spell does not speak. Beeps ok but no voice.
Talking clock in Clock 5 does not talk
Finance 2 “keep error” a breaker for this activity. No log entry either
Kaleidoscope, Breakout, StackAttack crash when they has a journal entry (on 
relaunch). First time or with Journal entries cleared are OK. Nothing in the 
logs other than a 3rd line with the journal object id.
Arithmetic also crashes when it has a journal entry (on relaunch). First time 
or with Journal entries cleared is OK
I guess I’ll be filling bugs

-- Minor Problems --
Typing quote (“) in Write you loose the cursor and yo can not type anymore! You 
must reposition and click in order to keep typing
Gonozco, Hop-a Round, Deducto, Color Deducto, do not save the games
Stop button must  be pressed twice in Deducto and Color Deducto for it to Quit
Develop shows a “keep error” if you just open the app and then cancel
Tux Paint has no journal entries (I guess is not sugarised)
Domino does not save the game if in the middle. Is also _very hard_ to 
play/move the pieces.
Implode, Card Sort also do not save the game in the middle

-- Wish List --
Get IA Books should be able to download the books directly without copy/pasting 
the link to the Browser
Multiple Journal entries for Get IA Books, Terminal, Bounce, WirelessGraph, 
Log, Watch Me, Falabracman, Memorize, Moon, make little sense other than a time 
stamp, but they clutter the Journal. Maybe activities like these could have one 
entry that could be time updated at least untill multiple-file erase becomes 
possible

Since I have only one XO, could not test collaboration in Scribe, Distance, 
PlayGo, Watch Me  but they work OK on the one side

-- And an old strange one --
Erasing from the Journal  the Browse-downloaded xo bundle of an activity also 
erases the installed Activity  !!!

Since some of these might be related to the specific XO-1 Sugar version I guess 
is OK to post here.

 or thoughtfulness, is:

 Analyze
 Browse
 Calculate
 Chat

 Etoys
 Implode
 Infoslicer
 IRC
 Jukebox
 Labyrinth
 Log
 Maze
 Measure
 Memorize
 Moon
 Paint
 Physics
 Pippy
 Read
 Record
 Scratch
 Speak
 TamTam *
 Terminal
 Turtle Art
 Typing Turtle
 Words
 Write

 Any suggestions for activities to add?  A reasonable set of criteria
 for looking at the suggestions seems like:

 (a) works on 0.84 (and preferably 0.82)
 (b) complete translations for OLPC deployment countries
 (c) reasonably low disk space use
 (d) download popularity on activities.sugarlabs.org

 Thanks!

XO-1.5 Testing Wanted Report

2009-11-24 Thread James Cameron
Dear Testers,

http://dev.laptop.org/report/42 has been created to identify tickets that have 
action needed values of test in release or test in build, for the XO-1.5 
effort.

test in build means that the ticket owner is looking for someone to test a 
build to verify that a problem has been fixed.  The problem should be mentioned 
at the start of the ticket.  A way to prove the problem is fixed might be 
mentioned.  A build number might be mentioned.  If you test it, you write 
saying that you confirm the fix, with the build number you tested, and (at the 
moment) close the ticket with an action resolve as fixed.

This will change if we enter strict change control, but we aren't in that mode 
yet.

If you have any questions, please ask.  Thanks for your help!

So it exists... and is mounted correctly! What happens if you try to

With this, and your logs looking normal, I can only think of a timing
thing -- PostgreSQL startup might be slow and Moodle is starting right
after and not finding it?
