 As I said before, it is not a proper bug, and I fixed it by setting the
 default font size to 6px, in the ~/.config/midori/config, and it looks
 better. Is there a way to set this configuration by default?, I think it
 could be done in the RPM itself, in a %post stage.

 It is a natural reaction to our screen being a bit special. On earlier
 OSs we've scaled up the 'zoom' for the xulrunner (gecko) engine;
 effectively scaling the whole page to 134%.
I'd like to share my experience that I also tried several ways to
adjust the font size, ex. change propotional/mono space font size, fix
to 96 dpi... they only work partially. The most effective one is to
enlarge the minimum font size which César mentioned. Is there some
documentation about what has been done on xulrunner for the Browse
activity? This would be beneficial for other potential browsers to use
on XO. I was trying Chrome but the current RPM provided needs bunches
of dependencies. Yum crashed during the installation. (post install
failed due to OOM)

BTW, re-size the image size largely degraded the rendering
performance. Though the current quality suggests the most efficient
algorithm used already. (very poor quality)

 Background - the whole page, and the topic I link to -- here
 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Display#UI_design_and_physical_geometry
Thank you very much. This is very useful.

Also, there's an issue on the javascript engine of Midori, it breaks
on some sites like google reader. I read about this on the Midori bug
tracking when googling and there's already some fix for it. (haven't
tried myself) Would XO F11 include the fix some time or just wait for
the new distribution builds?

Hmm, it's a bit hard to read with so many details, can you run it
again without -v --leak-check=full --show-reachable=yes ? Those are
useful when looking for memory leaks.

I would expect that valgrind would complain when the uninitialized

ANN: rainbow-0.8.6 release.

2009-12-21 Thread Michael Stone
Friends,

I am pleased to announce the release of rainbow-0.8.6. Rainbow implements
portions of the isolation shell described in the Bitfrost threat model and
security architecture.

The key differences between this release and its predecessor include support
for garbage collection of uids, ui sugar for resuming uids, bug fixes to the
resume logic, and a simplified singly-linked list library.

This release was made possible by encouragement and suggestions from Sascha
Silbe, Bernie Innocenti, and Benjamin Mako Hill. It has been (minimally) tested
on Debian Sid, Ubuntu Karmic, and Fedora Rawhide and has been packaged in
Fedora Rawhide for your convenience.

Interesting links for this release include:

 git:git://dev.laptop.org/users/mstone/security
 tar:
http://dev.laptop.org/~mstone/releases/SOURCES/rainbow-0.8.6.tar.bz2
 browse: 
http://dev.laptop.org/git/users/mstone/security/tree/?id=rainbow-0.8.6
 setup:  http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Rainbow/Installation_Instructions
 tests:  http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Rainbow/Testing

The shortlog from rainbow-0.8.5..rainbow-0.8.6 is:

Bernie Innocenti (1):
   Capture XAUTHORITY.

Michael Stone (19):
   Remove unused flexibility from the spool option parsing code.
   First pass at updated rainbow-gc.
   Clean up group membership.
   Protect sticky uids from garbage collection.
   Clean up some per-uid Xephyr data.
   Improve spool detection checks.
   Install rainbow-gc.
   Add some logging to rainbow-gc.
   Make xephyr usage resumable.
   Teach rainbow to resume uids with more auxiliary groups.
   Add a simple resume subcommand.
   Add INIT() and COPY() operators from dnshash.
   Add a novel singly-linked list implementation.
   Add test_endgrent script.
   Simplify list traversal logic.
   Fix Karmic sudo segfault.
   Tweak warnings and link flags.
   Set default spool location in rainbow-gc.
   rainbow-0.8.6.

Kind regards,

Michael

If the admin XO becomes unavailable or needs to be reflashed how does one
access the Moodle admin and make a new XO (or the original one reflashed)

 That was very helpful, Martin. I will try the global glossary. I also noted
 that if users are added as guests only, then they can see the resources but
 are not connected by the presence service. A less elegant way to do it
 perhaps.

Yes, guest access is a possible approach. But truly global resources
are in their right place at the site course... and that is supported
by ancillary mechanisms within Moodle (ie: glossary autolinking ;-) )

 On the B4s below, well I have two C1s and 2 B4s and they were all updated
 with exactly the same flashdrive (build 802 and same activity bundle). So
 they should behave identically apart from hardware issues. But the issue
 below remains, any other clues I can look for?

Ok, that's very weird. Tell me, are they registered ok? Check that...

 - the XO does not list 'register' in the menu

 - the XS lists the XO when you run /home/idmgr/list_registrations

 - in Moodle, the 'course admin' user can see the relevant user
account under admin - users - browse

To be frank, I initially doubt it's a hw/sw problem because the
authentication depends on Browse.xo reading serial number / uuid of
the machine. If the sn/uuid are not readable (due to bad hardware, or
bad OFW), then the registration would fail as well.

 Yep, I am interested in getting to the bottom of this.

I think I have an initial assessment of the situation.

Clearly, the mnesia DB got corrupted somehow. Because of that...

 - the init script did cannot stop ejabberd normally...

 - killall -9 beam kills the beam processes, which get restarted right
away (such is the magic of erlang's engine failsafe design) by
epmd...

 - Moodle's cronjob talks to ejabberd every 5 minutes. When ejabberd
is broken, you get a pileup of php scripts trying to run ejabberdctl
again and again.

so your attempts to follow my instructions (stop ejabberd, remove
corrupt DB, start it again) didn't succeed.

Now it's up on a pristine state, and I am monitoring it...

Ok - the problem seems related to Moodle's control of ejabberd
presence service. The sync between Moodle and ejabberd data (in
mnesia) was taking too long, and a second Moodle sync process would
start... and then a 3rd... and then...

This led to errors that should be benign (an error reported in the
logs, but not  leading to a functional problem) -- because ejabberd's
internals are all about supporting things that happen concurrently.
But! something inside ejabberd isn't liking the concurrency.

I've added a big lock around the process, so from now on Moodle
processes won't overlap in this sync. This means that your server is
now running a lightly patched Moodle -- I will release this as a new
rpm soon.

According to ps_mem.py, beam started at 14MB and now grown to 16MB,
this is with no users connected. In normal operation (once users
connect), I would expect it to grow to ~40MB.

 Por lo tanto, el squid no logra iniciar.

 De acuerdo con su experiencia, ¿a qué podría deberse esto? Estoy convencido
 de que estoy haciendo todo bien hasta el momento.

 Apreciaré sus comentarios.



 Saludos,

Re: [Server-devel] Pushing Activities to XOs

 I have about 140 XOs connecting to a XS server (version .6).
 Can I push activities to the laptops?

Yes but...

 - it is only easy if you prepared things on your base image for the
XOs beforehand

 - it doesn't 'push' the activities, but a visit to control panel -
software update will trigger the update

On the XS, this is handled by xs-activity-server -- documented in
/usr/share/doc/xs-activity-server/README. The XOs need to know to look
to the XS, this is controlled by a little config file documented in
the wikipage of the software updater.

My recommendation for something effective: put the .xo files on the
XS, link to them with large icons on the Moodle homepage. Our
experience with Uy is that kids learn how to install/upgrade
activities easily... and find it addictive. Only a disk-full will stop
them ;-)

[ The OS/UI design way back then was to make updating the OS
controllable centrally, and to leave activity upgrades as a
user-driven action. I mention this to explain the hysterical raisins,
no justification or judgement on the topic... ]

 configurar /library para que sea una partición normal, evitnado usar

  Estimados colaborades:
 
  Espero se encuentren bien. Les escribo para comentarles el inconveniente
 que
  tengo y ver si alguno de ustedes puede ayudarme.
 
  Como saben, a la fecha hay disponibles 6 imágenes del schoolserver en
  http://xs-dev.laptop.org/xs/other/
 
  1) OLPC School Server-0.7-i386.iso24-Oct-2009 03:07  545M
  2) OLPC-School-Server-0.6d5-i386.iso  28-Aug-2009 18:06  549M

  He probado cada una de ellas sobre un ambiente virtualizado. Para ello,
 hago
  uso de Vmware Workstation. Mis pruebas no han sido exitosas debido a que
 no
  logro encender el squid a través del script TURN_SQUID_ON
 
  Mi servidor virtual tiene 2 tarjetas de red, eth0 y eth1. La tarjeta de
 red
  eth0 está configurada en modo bridge y la eth1 en modo host only.
 Está
  última no tiene comunicación con el exterior.
 
  wan (eth0) --- SERVER --- lan (eth1) -- Estaciones que simulan ser XOs
 
  Sigo en orden los pasos para configurar el schoolserver, sin embargo,
 cuando
  llego al paso de ejecutar el script TURN_SQUID_ON, obtengo el error que
  muestra la imagen adjunta:
