I tried with on an XO with 10.1.2: 1. boot the XO 2. load Record 3. record some video 4. play back the video I expected the video to be played back with full audio and video. What I saw is playback for a few seconds, then it halts. I'm having trouble reproducing. It seems to happen only on odd occasions. I'll keep investigating.

There is a gotcha however -- currently the "image_name=os%d" line confuses the parser, so it's left alone. The ConfigParser interpolator has undefined/unclear semantics according to its documentation. SafeConfigParser, which claims to be sane, barfs at our image_name. Maybe we can convert the image_name line to play ball with SafeConfigParser? 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

It was a semi-conscious decision to have interpolation available, and its something I've used on a couple of deployments. You also found a use for it, so I think it should stay.

Pretty sure this is fixed in F14 I recommend applying this patch wherever you do OS builds: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-livecd-list/2009-December/msg00024.html As for the skipping of files, I'd rather make _run_part() more intelligent and just run recognised extensions, ignoring others (with a warning).

Turns out ConfigParser handles this just fine -- and it was already trying to interpolate anything with a % in there. We can just drive it -- sample patch attached. SafeConfigParser, OTOH, is stricter and chokes up on some of our values that contain %d .

We have been developing a variant of the XS for single NIC scenarios: https://dev.laptop.org.au/projects/xs-au/wiki It is being used widely across Australia. It's much easier to implement than a normal XS. I recommend that you give it a go.

os-builder: define a variable for the config dir?
Daniel, there is one aspect of OOB that makes configs rather awkward -- there is no way (that I can see) to define a "config dir" variable and refer to it in the .ini file itself, and from modules and scripts. So whenever we refer to external files, we have to use the full path, and that's not portable. For example, I have a custom_script that applies a patch, I have to say [custom_scripts] custom_script_1=/home/martin/foo/bar/baz/script.sh and then in the script itself, patch -d $INSTALL_ROOT/etc/doom.conf < /home/martin/foo/bar/baz/fixup-leibniz.patch I would prefer to have a config_dir that for example resolves to dirname of the oob ini file [custom_scripts] custom_script_1=%config_dir/script.sh and then patch -d $INSTALL_ROOT/etc/doom.conf < $config_dir/fixup-leibniz.patch then we can keep the ini and whatever supporting files together, easy to move to another machine, manage with git, etc. thoughts? 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

os-builder: does not bailout on custom script failure?
I'm debugging a script used with olpc-os-builder's custom_module script, and funny enough, the build continues even if the script bails out with obvious stuff (like shell syntax errors). Looking at build/intermediates/build.ks, it does say --erroronfail, and set -e. My script does say set -e as well. Running this script outside of ks, I get exit 1 and exit 2 on the same errors that continue under the oob process. If the script is not executable, oob also skips it; again the build.ks file seems to say that it will bail out but it doesn't. 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

Problems compiling bluetooth module
Trying to build modules from the respective OLPC-kernel SRPMs I find that if you build the whole kernel and then just copy the module over and insmod during init works [1], but if you build only the module quite often does not.(???)
