About the XO name, my question was not clear. What I'm looking for is the

Depends on the Sugar version, and is quite hard to make work universally.
In older versions, you could ask the PresenceService for the ownerBuddy, and
access its nick. Or directly access the file:
${HOME}/.sugar/${$SUGAR_PROFILE}/config
In newer versions, it's stored in gconf:
gconftool-2 -g /desktop/sugar/user/nick
Both of these assume you are logged in as the Sugar user. If you are running
the script as root, you need to guess the user name. On an XO the user normally
is olpc, on SoaS it typically is liveuser. If all else fails you could look
for all user homes that have a .sugar directory. If there is only one you are
lucky, otherwise you should fail and ask for the right one.
Also, watch out for non-ascii nick names, and funny characters. Kids frequently
use them, unaware there may be problems in command line scripts.

I could not find a way to stop sharing an activity even when no peers are
connected or even present.
This was true in os860 and os20, XO-1 and XO-1.5 and activities like write and
Turtle blocks.
If this is indeed a feature and not a bug or something I miss, could someone
point me to the relevant discussion and/or rational of once public, always
public?
Thx

OLPC France repair workshop report
Hi all, Last Thursday, OLPC France had a XO repair workshop. During few hours, 6 of us tried to repair non working XOs that we’ve got in our stock. A report (in French but easy to translate) with photos is available here: http://olpc-france.org/wiki/index.php?title=Compte-rendu_atelier_réparation_18/02/2010 Thanks to 3 Adam’s Serial Adapter, 6 XOs was bring to life again and will serve to our XO library and/or pilot projects. After getting few mixing developer keys, we hope to fix 4 others XOs. Finally one XO have the “infinite For+ loop” symptom at boot so few luck to boot again. Best regards from France.

F11 for XO 1.5 RC is great !
Hi all, I’ve just upgrade to q3a18 and F11 for XO 1.5 RC. To upgrade I’ve used the olpc-update command but it didn’t work (from os48), including with the –rf option. So I’ve finally done a fs-update. Error was something like “read only file system” (sorry, I didn’t write the exact message). F11 for XO 1.5 RC is great. It’s really great to see a working Camera in record activity. I’ve the “WiFi gone” issue but it disappear after stopping the power economy feature. One other cool thing: I’ve got very surprised to see my XO-1 on the Network screen. So I’ve done a Chat session between a XO-1 and a XO-1.5 and it perfectly works. Very cool ! Regarding my issue with Dailymotion I’m not sure to understand the way of working of the Dailymotion website. Some video works, some others don’t work. Is all DM video are viewable in OGG ? Not sure. I’ve asked the question to a DM guy. Another issue on the RC is the “turn screen” button on the lower left of the screen: it do nothing. Not sure there is a ticket on it. BTW, thanks to all for this great RC. Best regards from France. Lionel. ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
updates.laptop.org XO 1.5 and other question
Hi all, I’ve just tested the olpc-update to upgrade from OS45 to OS46: it works great ! Cool ! Thanks for that. By the way I’ve got three questions about XO 1.5: - “test-all” command end with a “general protection exception” error after SD test (I’m in Q3A16). - I’ve tried to play with the dailymotion open video website http://openvideo.dailymotion.com which support OGG and it don’t seems to work with the XO. One OLPC France guy works for DM, maybe we could help on it. - What about video support in Record activity ? Camera seems to start working when using “test /camera” Best regards from France Lionel. ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
OLPC France repair workshop report
Hi all, OLPC France has organized a XO repair workshop on November 19th at /tmp/lab near Paris. Detail report is on: http://olpc-france.org/wiki/index.php?title=Compte-rendu_atelier_r%C3%A9paration_19/11/2009 We analyzed three XO: · One was coming back from our Nosy Komba deployment, · One come from a G1G1 buyer (http://rt.laptop.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=43180), · One come from our stock. All XO had the “black screen” symptom. We used a serial adapter to diagnose the problem. We fixed the one come from G1G1 (2007 probably) using Fix clock workaround. One XO displays a continuous “For+” message on the Putty console: do you have any idea of what it mean ? One XO displays nothing on the Putty console: does it mean that the XO is… dead ? Thanks for your help. Best regards from France. Lionel. ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
RE: OS40 feedback
Did you try a USB keyboard? That would have told us whether it was because HAL crashed, or because of the firmware bug. No sorry. I didn't know that it could help. I will try next time. In the meantime I'm going to upgrade to q3a16. In TurtleArt, moving tiles with a number (forward, left, ...) let a trace on the screen. The font used to draw number seems to be too large. Please file a ticket for that. Done. https://dev.laptop.org/ticket/9678 Thanks. Lionel. ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
OS40 feedback
Hi all, I've just finished to upgrade to OS40 with q3a15. The upgrade work well but the keyboard and touchpad stop working on the Name: screen. Problem solved after removing the battery and reboot. But I thought this issue was related to the firmware. I'm wrong ? Another issue not seen this ticket in the track: In TurtleArt, moving tiles with a number (forward, left, ...) let a trace on the screen. The font used to draw number seems to be too large. The trace disappear when the screen refresh. I've tried to do a screen capture but the screen is refreshed before the capture... This issue was also in the OS38. Best regards from France.

RE: OS38 don't boot
It was the shallow copy that take a long time and let me think that the laptop was hang. So I stupidly powered off that laptop without waiting :-( How long does it take? #9623, testing for something else, I noticed a filesystem write performance which was low compared to read performance. About 2 minutes I guess. I don't know if it's related to an issue but the migration from OS32 to OS34 was not so long.
