Re: Replicating XO experience in a VM
Hi Sridhar, Tom Gilliard has done some fabulous work with VMs, see: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Emulator_image_files Sean On Sun, May 15, 2011 at 4:41 PM, Sridhar Dhanapalan srid...@laptop.org.au wrote: I've been investigating ways to replicate an XO's experience in a virtual machine (VirtualBox), so that it can be run on other computers without requiring an XO. Our OS is a variant of OLPC OS 10.1.3, so I'm trying to replicate that. We determined that booting the XO image directly does not work. Sugar on a Stick might be a good start. Drawbacks are that we would have to use v1 (Strawberry), and the Sugar 0.84 present in Strawberry is not the same as the one in the OLPC OS (a lot of changes have been made). My experimentation has been to install the OLPC packages (carefully avoiding the kernel) on top of a standard Fedora 11 install. I can get it to load to the Sugar name screen. If you enter a name and select your colours, you are prompted for them again. It does not proceed to the Home View. My method and findings are documented here: http://dev.laptop.org.au/projects/xo-au/wiki/Virtual_machine I feel that I am tantalisingly close, and I'd appreciate some assistance with this. I feel that a working VM solution can be of great benefit to the community. If it helps, I can put my VM image up for download and inspection.

Re: Replicating XO experience in a VM
Sridhar - only a few of those images are SoaS. The others are VMs in other distros, or in Fedora non-SoaS. Tom could perhaps advise you in building a VM that will closely resemble your XO build.

Yes, I see what you mean now. My apologies, it looks like I jumped the gun! Thanks for your advice.

dejavu-* vs dejavu-lgc-*
In the process of preparing a custom 10.1.3 img for Armenia, I realized that we don't have wide coverage of unicode glyphs in our default img; and that you only need ~1MB extra in fonts to have it. We currently install the DejaVu LGC fonts, which are a cut-down version of the DejaVu fonts -- they save some space by only including Latin, Greek and Cyrillic. The LGC set takes 7.3 MB installed. The full set takes 8.3 MB installed. With the full set, I can display webpages in Armenian, Chinese (unsure which) and Taiwanese in my very limited testing -- which had given me the missing unicode glyph glyph. I propose the DejaVu LGC fontset -- as it stands today -- is not worth our time. Perhaps someone was carving it out deeper/better? m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- Software Architect - OLPC - 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
