Sounds too easy :-) The build script filters out _all_ translation files, so even if glibc and sugar translations are there (and glibc contains the locale data as well), there might be other (usually low priority) translation files missing. For that, it is probably best to do a new spin. For activities, for 0.84 based builds, there are self extracting language packs that you can run as root in the laptops: http://translate.sugarlabs.org/langpacks/0.84/ -sdg- > >>> You can spin-up your own image with olpc-os-builder, editing the >>> languages as required. >> >> This would be cleaner, of course, but Martin was thinking of small >> deployments lacking a technical team. > > Exacto. > > > > m > -- > martin.langh...@gmail.com > mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect > - ask interesting questions > - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first > - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff > ___ > olpc mailing list > o...@lists.fedoraproject.org > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/olpc > -- Sayamindu Dasgupta [http://sayamindu.randomink.org/ramblings] ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Hate to rain on your parade but you will also need to edit /etc/rpm/macros.dist and add the locales you wish to support to the %_install_langs macro. After making that change re-install those packages and you should get the additional langs. -Jon ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

re: [support-gang] spectacular new XO-1.5 disassembly guides
i've taken a lot of XO laptops apart, and i've almost _never_ found it necessary to remove the screen completely. the two ribbon connectors that connect the screen and the backlight have a limited lifetime and should not be opened and closed needlessly. unless you're planning on removing the motherboard, removing the screen is unnecessary. the screws that attach the back can be reached without remove the screen: - first remove the four screws attaching the screen. - lift the bottom of the screen to get access to the lower pair of screws holding the back. remove them. (you can see how this can be done in page 6 of the pdf. - _without_ undoing the screen's connectors, let the bottom edge of the screen drop down in order to get at the upper pair of screws that hold the back. you can see how this works on page 7 of the pdf. the screen's ribbon cables are just long enough for this to work. remove the second pair of screws that hold the back on. - now, before doing anything else, tuck the top edge of the screen back into position, and secure the screen with at at least one of the lower screws that hold it in place. this keeps it from flopping around while you remove the back. you can now remove the back, to get access to most connectors, the RTC battery, etc. paul holt wrote: > Mafe Mago wrote: > > Hi Folks, > > > > Just sharing this pdf file of Dissecting an XO 1.5 created by Peter > Domanski > > who just been introduced to XO. > > > > http://wiki.laptop.org/go/File:XO_Disassembly_%28Bottom%29.pdf [20p, > 1.7MB] > > http://wiki.laptop.org/go/File:XO_Disasembly_%28Top%29.pdf [33p, 4.1MB] > > > > > > Thanks Peter! > > > > -- > > Cheers, > > @marife > > > > mm...@ekindling.org > > http://www.ekindling.org > > http://wiki.laptop.org/go/ekindling > > http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_NYC > > > Plz write to Mafe if you have suggested revisions, for her friend Peter > if he has time! > ___ > support-gang mailing list > support-g...@lists.laptop.org > http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/support-gang =- paul fox, p...@laptop.org ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Re: spectacular new XO-1.5 disassembly guides
Holt, Nice set of photographs and narrative. It might be useful to mention at the top of the document the type and number of screws. At each step where a screw is removed or replaced that type and size of screw should be called out. Where it mentions cable disconnection and cable connection it should mention the type of latching mechanism used and how to manipulate it.

Script to install missing langs?
Hi folks, we're now including a very limited set of langs in our OS images. This can make life rather awkward for small deployments (read: no tech team) using languages not included in our build... Is there a script to install missing locales for already-installed rpms? Cross-posting to fedora-olpc -- maybe there's a Fedora tool to install pruned locales? cheers, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

These are very nice.
