In the old firmware that caused this bug report, it refused to boot when there's new firmware in the filesystem, but no external power. Modern firmware merely defers updating itself, and then goes on to boot Linux as usual. I suspect that pretty-boot users won't even see modern firmware's "No external power" message; it'll just boot up as always.

Re: AC not present?
Well, even spelling it "external power required" is better than the cryptic "AC not present". - Bert - Am 08.09.2008 um 17:25 schrieb Eben Eliason: > I know I've said this before, but I really want to get some UI polish > into this part of the system.

Re: AC not present?
I know I've said this before, but I really want to get some UI polish into this part of the system. Instead of the cryptic "AC not present" we should be displaying a fullscreen graphic picturing the power cord (in the style of the shutdown warnings) to make it blatantly obvious what's needed. There are certainly other cases outside the sugar environment which probably need similar treatment. - Eben PS. I know this is low priority, but I don't want it to be forgotten. Perhaps if we can elaborate on the pieces which could use some UI polish early on in the release cycle we can actually make some improvements for 9.1.

AC not present?
Hi all, I just upgraded a XO from 656 to 711 using a USB key (fs.zip + os711.img + G1G1 activity pack). The upgrade went fine but the computer won't boot and bites like that: , | Got firmware version: CL1 Q2E12 Q2E | Checking integrity... | Updating firmware | AC not present ` Any help would be *much* appreciated as I promised to send this computer to a professional translator for reviewing the kreyol translation... Thanks! -- Bastien ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
