Re: [Server-devel] Attempting to upgrade XO 1.5 firmware. Says "activation lease not found"
Unfixable bug: I'm an idiot, sometimes. I don't know if it's typical, but I often find that the USB port on the left side of the screen doesn't seem to work as nicely as the ones on the right. A fact that I forget, because I so rarely use the USB ports. As per Mr. Drake's request, the exact messages I saw before failure were (unless I made another stupid typo copying): Trying disk:\fs.zip Trying disk:\fs1.zip Trying ext:\fs.zip Trying ext:\fs1.zip Trying NANDblaster Boot device /dropin-fs:nb15_rx Arguments: ssid:OLPC-NANDblaster Scan for: OLPC-NANDblaster not found Can't open network ok which I hadn't tried to interpret the first time. I noticed "NANDblaster" and remembered reading something about the firmware fixing NANDblaster, and went on a wild goose chase the first time around. This time less, rushed than yesterday, and armed with suggestions from the list, I tried the same USB thumb drive on the one of the USB ports on the right, and voila: away it went on its reflashing. Next up, the XSCE, which looks pretty straightforward, given that I've done stuff with RPMs for many years. So, apologies and thanks to all. ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel

Incorrect. The release notes describe holding down all four keys above the power button. I agree with Daniel that you might have sufficiently old firmware to require renaming the file from fs1.zip to fs.zip. That should be your next action.

If it appears that the USB disk can be read OK, try renaming fs1.zip to fs.zip It might be that the old firmware you are running does not recognise the new name.

Re: [Server-devel] Attempting to upgrade XO 1.5 firmware. Says "activation lease not found"
P.S. It was suggested on IRC that I check the clock. So, I did, and fixed it using "date" and "hwclock". Upon power up it had the correct date and time. Also, I verified that the battery was at 100% and was plugged in while doing all this.

I was following the instructions at: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Upgrading_firmware#Details:_Upgrading Details: Upgrading Once you have prepared the USB drive above, you must: * make sure the XO battery is in place and locked, * make sure the XO power cord and adapter are plugged in, the battery indicator must be on, * insert the USB drive into the XO, * hold down the X game key, and * turn on the XO. * Watch for a couple minutes. The upgrade process will begin, with several messages displayed, then the XO will automatically restart, once or twice. Wait for the XO to finish restarting, then: * remove the USB drive. * Test to confirm that the XO now works normally. > Anyway, no manual firmware upgrade should be necessary.

It's not clear to me why you are holding the X key here, are you expecting that to upgrade the firmware from the rom file? It doesn't quite work like that. What the X does is make the laptop boot in secure mode. Your laptop has security disabled (as you mentioned: no wp tag) but by pressing X you are simulating security-enabled.

It's not clear to me why you are holding the X key here, are you expecting that to upgrade the firmware from the rom file? It doesn't quite work like that.
