Re: problem solved (Re: new OLPC slackware 13.37 released (fwd)

2011-05-31 Thread supat

Thank you much for your kind information.
Two major reasons why I never put how to at Wiki are:

1. I don't think I have authority to do so.
2. I am very busy on teaching in my university.

Are you sure I have authority to write at Wiki? I say so because even in 
this news group I don't have authority but it was you who FWD it in.

I plan to write short easy mini how to make slakware to work in OLPC in 3 
manners :

1. after they put any thing they want to USB then I made USB to boot under 
OLPC.

2.  a small minimal Slackware that work on OLPC and then they can add any 
packages they want.

3. optimal slackware OLPC ready to be used.

supat

 It is not mandatory, but it is optional, and helpful.

 Documentation in the Wiki is beneficial to future users, or current
 users who may wish to try Slackware on their OLPC XO.  Many of these
 users are not on this e-mail list.

 It is really your choice whether to publish on the Wiki, but if you do
 not do it someone else may do it, and the message they write may not be
 to your liking.  Have some faith in the value of your work, don't just
 abandon it like a stray pet.

 For instance, for the Tiny Core Linux builds, we have a Wiki page on
 OLPC Wiki http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Tiny_Core_Linux

 And we have a general Minimal Linux Distributions page at
 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Minimal_Linux_distros which mentions four
 Slackware based distributions that are not known to be available for the
 OLPC XO.

 And we have a Sugar on Slackware page at
 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sugar_on_Slackware which says nothing useful,
 yet points to the Sugar Labs Wiki which has nothing useful on Slackware.

 Anyone reading the Wiki now, looking for Slackware information, would
 naturally conclude there is nothing available.

 If your work is not for general use, then fine, keep it silent.

 Your work does seem opaque ... you have not shown *how* you made the
 build, and therefore it is not publically reproducible ... and the sum
 of knowledge has not increased markedly.  But the same can be said for
 some other builds, yet they are of use.

 wiki.laptop.org grants authority to do so to all users, restrictions are

 I cannot speak for the authority of your university, sorry.

I do have full authority in my university and I am senior professor there. 
I have a lot of PhD students under my supervision that made me very busy.

 Are you sure I have authority to write at Wiki? I say so because
 even in this news group I don't have authority but it was you who
 FWD it in.

 Yes, I'm one of the mailing list moderators, and I've been approving
 your posts regarding Slackware on OLPC XO because they are obviously of
 interest to OLPC XO developers.

 This is unusual.  I don't normally have to approve postings like this.
 Most moderation is removing spam before it is forwarded.

 Your mail address is listed in our mailman mailing list software
 configuration as requiring manual approval.  I don't see why this is so.
 I don't know if another mailing list moderator did this.  The
 configuration does not give a reason.

 Perhaps it was because on 12th and 15th April you posted two messages to
 a very large group, the first one being new option to watch ZERO work
 shop with unsolicited advertising attached, the second one being
 Subject: great step progress in SSS innovation (SSL 1.6) ... the
 messages had nothing to do with OLPC or XO.  The messages were also
 unfriendly, since they included hundreds of addressees, including
 fortran and gcc mailing lists.  Another moderator may have concluded
 that someone else was using your computer or it was infected.

It may has spam to my mail and all over the world including to OLPC and I 
may accidentally reply to it. As you can see it has cc to hundreds of 
addressees, as you said.

 But you must not conflate mailing list posting rights with Wiki access
 rights.

Thank you. I will try to not disturb on Wiki access rights and some one 
may block me again to contribute good things to OLPC.

I just test that I can login to wiki and edit some change there few 
minutes ago.

 So, can you tell me what version of firmware is on your XO-1 now?
 You can find out in several ways, see the Which Firmware Do You
 Have? section

 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Firmware_q2e45#Which_Firmware_Do_You_Have.3F

 From your link I found that it was:

 CL1 Q2E25 Q2E

 Thanks.  See below.

 Yes, under OLPC it was recent kernel I found at OLPC: 2.6.36-rc2.

 Okay, I haven't found this one yet.  ;-)  Could you tell me where
 you found it?  I normally look at http://dev.laptop.org/~kernels/
 but that version is not present there,

 It was there:
 Exactly at http://dev.laptop.org/git/olpc-2.6/

 Oh, okay, now I understand.  It is wonderful that it works, but
 reasonably unexpected.  We don't build from the Linus tags often, we use
 a separate branch.  That explains why I've never seen that kernel
 version on our builds.

 Please let me know if the latest OLPC will not harm my OLPC 1.0 so
 that I can test it for you.

 I'd be happy to tell you.  But first I need to know your installed
 firmware version (see above), and hardware serial number.  (Because
 there are some very early hardware versions that cannot be safely
 upgraded).

 So, my earlier guess is correct. Upgrade firmware can harm OLPC.
 Lucky me, I don't upgrade to new firmware :)

 I said some very early versions cannot be safely upgraded, I didn't say
 it would harm OLPC.

 BTW: I try looking fast again at boot and see hardware serial number:

 CSN748012AB

 I have just now tested with an XO-1, downgrading from Q2E45s (SVN HEAD),
 to Q2E25 (your version), then allowing the OLPC OS 11.2.0 development
 build os20 olpc.fth reflash to Q2E45 (stable), and there were no issues.

 Your serial number CSN748012AB should not be harmed by reflash to Q2E45,
 and this reflash would happen automatically if you installed the latest
 stable OLPC OS 10.1.3.  We would have heard about it by now if there was
 a problem with Q2E45 that harmed XO-1.

 If necessary, you may reflash back to Q2E25, but I cannot recommend this
 because of the significant problems that were fixed after Q2E25.

 You might ask your users what firmware version they are using.

 No, this will not change wlan0 or sound card.  For that you should use
 our kernel source branch instead of Linus'.

 You can test wlan and sound in firmware, to prove it is not firmware or
 hardware.

   test /wlan
   test /audio

You are correct new firmware did not solve wlan and audio problem.
LAN come in in 5 minutes delay.

I already test new firmware.
It cause more problem than old firmware because it will not boot from

u:\boot\olpc.fth correctly and will pass thru it with nothing happen.

So, if anyone don't have old firmware then they have to:

1. press esc at boot time it will prompt ok
2. type exactly below:

boot u:\boot\olpc.fth

I will follow your recommend by changing kernel to your std stable
and will let you know if sound and lan will work correctly.

 That is because your /boot/olpc.fth is wrong, and doesn't do what it

 itself, after the first line, for example:

   \ OLPC
   visible
   ...

 This changed about two years ago.  This is why it is important for you
 to test your build with latest firmware.

ok. It was my fault. Thank you to stop me to flash back to old firmware. I 
near to do so until I see your advise on time :)

Now new firmware can boot my slak13.37_OLPC w/o problems.

BTW: I forget to say after boot it will has:

login: sss
password: love4linux

If not work (unrecommend)
login: root
password: love4linux

then run:

startx

ps. I will busy for several days on my work shop in BKK.
I will come back to test new OLPC kernel with audio and wlan later.

 I will follow your recommend by changing kernel to your std stable
 and will let you know if sound and lan will work correctly.

 Current XO-1 stable kernel is git hash 741a3e67d9e7bb8 used in OLPC OS
 10.1.3 build os860.  It is 2.6.31.

 Current XO-1 development kernel is git hash 2ad89c2 used in OLPC OS
 11.2.0 development build os20.  It is 2.6.35.13.  Now in feature freeze.

Yes, under OLPC it was recent kernel I found at OLPC: 2.6.36-rc2.

Kernel to boot to other pc is the latest slackware 13.37 say 2.6.37.xxx

 This boots only one kernel on an OLPC XO, 2.6.36-rc2.  Is it for XO-1 or
 XO-1.5?  On Tiny Core Linux and Ubuntu builds I use two kernels with
 olpc.fth code to detect hardware.

 Where's the source for your kernel?

 Your olpc.fth does not contain visible, so I'm curious to know if
 you've tested it with recent firmware.  What firmware did you test with?

 2. mount /dev/sdb1 /usb (assume you have only 1 HD)
 3. tar xjvf olpc_slak13.37.tar.bz2  -C /

 This requires a filesystem like ext2 or ext3?

 4. boot OLPC using your new USB
 5. modify /etc/lilo.conf to fit your config
 6. lilo
 7. wait 5 minutes
 8. /etc/rc.d/rc.local (for unknown reason wlan0 will wake up after 5 minutes
 wait)
 9. the same USB now can be bootted on any pc

 That's interesting.  You have a conventional PC kernel in /slak13 with
 an initrd /sdb1.gz, and the OLPC kernel in /boot/ ... a PC will use the
 MBR set up by lilo, and an OLPC will use /boot/olpc.fth.

 This boots only one kernel on an OLPC XO, 2.6.36-rc2.  Is it for XO-1 or
 XO-1.5?  On Tiny Core Linux and Ubuntu builds I use two kernels with
 olpc.fth code to detect hardware.

 Where's the source for your kernel?

 Your olpc.fth does not contain visible, so I'm curious to know if
 you've tested it with recent firmware.  What firmware did you test with?

 2. mount /dev/sdb1 /usb (assume you have only 1 HD)
 3. tar xjvf olpc_slak13.37.tar.bz2  -C /

 This requires a filesystem like ext2 or ext3?

I used ext3 but I am sure ext2 or ext4 will work.
Simply change it at /etc/fstab.


 4. boot OLPC using your new USB
 5. modify /etc/lilo.conf to fit your config
 6. lilo
 7. wait 5 minutes
 8. /etc/rc.d/rc.local (for unknown reason wlan0 will wake up after 5 minutes
 wait)
 9. the same USB now can be bootted on any pc

 That's interesting.  You have a conventional PC kernel in /slak13 with
 an initrd /sdb1.gz, and the OLPC kernel in /boot/ ... a PC will use the
 MBR set up by lilo, and an OLPC will use /boot/olpc.fth.

Yes. I can put the same USB to a powerful pc and develop some thing using 
gcc then put it back to OLPC. Because developing on OLPC is too slow.
I am glad you can see the point.

supat

 I never update for new OLPC firmware because it work for my old

 Okay, thanks.  I was thinking more of your users than you.  They might
 try what you have done and fail to make it work on recent firmware
 versions.  And some firmware versions cannot be downgraded safely.

You are very kind and helpful in saying so.
It will be useless if what I made work only for myself.

 So, can you tell me what version of firmware is on your XO-1 now?  You
 can find out in several ways, see the Which Firmware Do You Have?
 section

 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Firmware_q2e45#Which_Firmware_Do_You_Have.3F


From your link I found that it was:

CL1 Q2E25 Q2E

Trying cat /ofw/openprom/model never work under OLPC slackware.

 Yes, under OLPC it was recent kernel I found at OLPC: 2.6.36-rc2.

 Okay, I haven't found this one yet.  ;-)  Could you tell me where you
 found it?  I normally look at http://dev.laptop.org/~kernels/ but that
 version is not present there,


It was there:
Exactly at http://dev.laptop.org/git/olpc-2.6/

 Please let me know if the latest OLPC will not harm my OLPC 1.0 so
 that I can test it for you.

 I'd be happy to tell you.  But first I need to know your installed
 firmware version (see above), and hardware serial number.  (Because
 there are some very early hardware versions that cannot be safely
 upgraded).

So, my earlier guess is correct. Upgrade firmware can harm OLPC.
Lucky me, I don't upgrade to new firmware :)

BTW: I try looking fast again at boot and see hardware serial number:

CSN748012AB

Features:

1. on USB with full slackware 13.37 will boot on OLPC
2. support all SW in slackware 13.3 plus open office and NX client
3. support KDE but OLPC 1.0 is too slow so fluxbox is a prefered WM
4. the same USB can boot on all pc in this world with all HW support as 
slackware 13.37 can do.

 Dear johnny nunez,
 
 Sorry for late reply because your mail has no topic and I got a lot of
 junk mail. I mostly delete them w/o reading. Fortunately I hit the wrong
 key so I accidentally see your message below.
 
 I invent slackware OLPC in 2006.
 The last person who ask for it is 4 years ago because current support of
 OLPC is not in slackware. I think no one will interest it.
 
 I forget where I put those slackware OLPC in and I change servers several
 times in the past 4 years. I don't know how many servers I have.
 
 So, you have to inform me where did you get info from and what did it
 said. In original message it should have a clue where I put it. Or it can
 make me remember where is the imgage of it.

 supat

OLPC_Slackware13.37.howto:

1. download OLPC_Slackware13.37 at 
http://e-university.eu.org/OLPC/olpc_slak13.37.tar.bz2
2. mount /dev/sdb1 /usb (assume you have only 1 HD)
3. tar xjvf olpc_slak13.37.tar.bz2  -C /
4. boot OLPC using your new USB
5. modify /etc/lilo.conf to fit your config
6. lilo
7. wait 5 minutes
8. /etc/rc.d/rc.local (for unknown reason wlan0 will wake up after 5 minutes 
wait)
9. the same USB now can be bootted on any pc

Notes:

1. OLPC is not fast enough to run KDE so I put default fluxbox as WDM
2. I delete Open Office to put OLPC_Slackware13.37 under 4 GB USB
3. I recommend to run nxclient by using commandline nx
4. to boot it on other pc need to vi /etc/fstab to be config you need.

Please let me know if you may get any problems.

supat
