Re: How-to make the XS appear in the neighbourhood view of the XOs
I have pondered this, along with "enterprise" (larger school) XS installations in general. The XS typically does not control its wifi AP, so it can only be easily shown when when users associate to its AP. This is not necessarily a problem, as XOs only see each other on the same network in a similar manner. Re-enabling the Avahi service on XS 0.7 would allow the server to be visible to XOs running Salut, as long as they were on the same network. (It's possible to work around this same-network limit; but that would be a kludge.) It then would be a matter of incorporating the XS's mDNS entry it into the network view. However this seems somewhat silly to do for one XS. Several support utilities also would have to be altered to respect Sugar's choice. Depending how XO's are setup they might accept DNS lookups via mDNS(*); so I might take a stab at seeing what happens when an XS advertises "schoolserver" locally even though the more formal DNS system disagrees with that. Something else I've thought about (which would take more work) is exposing any classes the XS knows about so students easily can "Join" a class that is currently in session. This would be especially helpful if students move from teacher to teacher during the day and do not stay in one group. (*) I don't see this supported on recent 11.3.1 or 12.1.0 builds; but for some reason I'm thinking this is either a regression or intentional change.

How-to make the XS appear in the neighbourhood view of the XOs
Hi All: I was thinking that since the XOs uses two different methods to display what is seen in the neighbourhood view, how can I make the XS appear when using salut? I'm thinking if that can occur then maybe we could advertise that this is an XS. We then could have the "register to schoolserver" menu occur at that point, in place of using hard-coded names that depend on dns to work. Any thoughts on the subject?

Re: [Sugar-devel] Fwd: Running "pulseaudio" and "alsa" together.
Following are the reasons for pulse-audio not being audible :: (i) [Pulse-audio] The pulseaudio default-sink needs to be unmuted once (therafter, the "un-muteness is persisted"). This is done through the folowing shell-script :: pulseaudio_default_sink=`pactl stat | grep "Default Sink: " | sed s/"Default Sink: "//` pactl set-sink-mute $pulseaudio_default_sink 0 I think that this should be a candidate for upstream OOB :-) (ii) [Pulse-audio, Alsa-audio] Also, by default, the gconf-value "/desktop/sugar/sound/volume" is set to "0" by default. Thus, the XO-user needs to "up" the volume everytime. Regards, Ajay On Sat, Jun 2, 2012 at 9:47 PM, Peter Robinson wrote: > Do you actually start pulseaudio anywhere?

Just to be sure, is the UART 4, CN23, shown in the attached picture in blue. Correct? Correct. If OK, please advise further actions. First upgrade the firmware to the latest version and let it update the EC code. Then just plug up the serial connector and then do a full power cycle of the unit by removing both external power and the battery and then plugging in the problem battery. Send the output. May or may not be anything of interest in that log. Then see if the problem duplicates on the 1.75. You can get a quick reading from the EC of the battery level by using the command 'b3'. Type b3 which turns on some simple debug info. You can't leave that on however because it will prevent the EC from going into stop mode. 'b0' will turn it back off. You have to be really quick with the serial commands when the XO is off. When off and running on battery the EC will go into stop mode and it does that really fast. When its in stop mode you can't talk to it on the serial port.I usually have one hand ready to type b3 and then wake the EC up by a very short power button press. Then before it goes back into stop mode type b3. Once a second it will output a short battery stat then type b0 to stop it and allow it to go back into stop mode. So hook up the EC serial port and log the output. Then charge up the battery. b3 to get some readings. Disconnect external power and then b0 . You should see it go into stop mode. In 24 hours wake the EC up do b3 to get a 2nd set of readings and then send the log output. -- Richard A.

Perhaps if we had requested more redundancy for error correction, but even if it had completed successfully on the first pass, it would still be slower than flashing from USB, including copying the file onto the USB.
