Re: [SoaS] [Sugar-devel] Fedora-17-Beta-TC2-i686-Live-SoaS testing results
FWIW, this version fails to install correctly to a 2GB USB stick via Live-USB-Creator. The log report: Traceback (most recent call last): File liveusb\gui.pyc, line 420, in status TypeError: QTextEdit.append(QString): argument 1 has unexpected type 'int' The stick also fails to boot on a computer. I suspect the problem has more to do with the compatibility between Live-USB-Creator and the TC2-Beta .iso however. Am I correct?

Re: [SoaS] [Sugar-devel] new SoaSv5 test image - Last change to test andfix issues
Thanks for the new SoaS5 test. Here is my experience:
1) No more keyrings (cheers) - for me anyway.
2) No GDM login (cheers) - again, for me anyway.
3) Main issue #1: Csound still uses the new cursor. (I gather Csound remains
to be rebuilt with (scons option) buildRelease=1. At least, that's what Victor
Lazzarini says.) Otherwise I'll need to add the --old-parser flag to all my (6)
activities - which I'd prefer not to do uniquely for this release. I'd
certainly hope this can be adjusted before SoaS5 release.
4) Main issue #2: activities only start 50% of the time. This is true for *all*
activities. It's not clear why an activity will start one time and not another
(it prints didn't start message). With Mango Lassi, this happens
occasionally/rarely for me; here it happens *a lot*.
I thought maybe this had something to do with the USB drives I'd made with
LiveUSB Creator. It doesn't. I created two: one 2GB, one 4GB with all memory
protected.
5) Noted difference in Journal: hovering over an entry does nothing; a
right-click on an entry does nothing. Only a left-click resumes the activity -
normally the one it originated in (see 5 below). Apparently you cannot erase
from the Journal (except by clicking on the rightmost arrow, to another page),
nor resume in a different activity any more. I appreciated those features.
6) Record (audio) continues to cause me problems. Record apparently records
correctly (or does it?) but does not play back. When a recording is resumed
from the Journal, it resumes (not in Record) but in either Surf or Etoys,
depending on whether it was saved automatically from Record, or as a clipping
that was kept. In any case, no activity plays the recorded file. Go figure.
(One possibility: Record seems to be interchanging Ogg Vorbis and Ogg Speex
formats - ugh.) FWIW, here's the complete Record log (seems to involve the Dbus
and an elapsed timeout):

The network issue is still there, its partially working from the work that
I did with some assistance from John Dulaney. I've included another utility to
enable initial configuration of a wireless access point and from there it will
auto connect and should mostly work. There's issues with the main network view
and in the control panel but it seems no one else cares enough to assist me in
getting it fixed. To configure an AP run the command nm-connection-editor
from a terminal as the standard user (not root).
I don't believe there are any other major blockers for this release. If you
believe there to be any issues speak up now and provide fixes for it.

Re: [SoaS] Fedora 15 SoaS release and Csound5
Peter, My feelings exactly. As regards Csound, most of our listservs are users; developers are relatively few and tend to communicate largely among themselves. Though I also am a member of csound-dev, I was unaware of the old/new parser status. I knew the new parser was (and has been long) under development. I'd no idea how or if it was incorporated into Csound5.13. Only a few folk (not including myself) actually build Csound - mostly Linux people (again, not me). I just installed Windows Csound(5.13) this evening for the first time - to discover that it was built with default old parser. News to me. There's much discussion of Csound lists about how documentation and user materials are subpar - especially for newbees. This makes it overly difficult for Csound to attract new users. At any rate, thanks again for all you do. And I'm always here to test.

[SoaS] Updating SoaS CD Helper?
Here's what I know about the SoaS CD Helper: On Pentium III machines (Win 2000, ME, 98) SoaS Strawberry and Blueberry boot fine; Mirabelle (Fedora 13) doesn't. Mirabelle fails (gets stuck) after the completion of the SoaS 1 bar at the bottom of the screen, with the message: Unable to ennumerate USB device on port X (1 or 2) FWIW as well, my fairly modern dual-core AMD desktop also fails when booting Mirabelle from CD Helper. This too is right after completion of the SoaS 1 bar, but with blank screen except for a blinking dot in upper left corner. Keyboard is active, and pressing Alt-F4 brings up a login screen: localhost login: above which appears: Fedora release 13 (Goddard) My desktop also fails to boot SoaS *Blueberry* from CD Helper. Here the message, on otherwise blank screen, is: BD: barrier-based sync failed on dm-0:8 disabling barriers Bottom line?: Perhaps if CD Helper could be gotten to work on current systems (especially with Mirabelle), it would also work on the older machines. I'd be happy to be a tester, especially as I've a variety of older units.

Re: [SoaS] [Sugar-devel] Heads-up: POSSE folks hacking in Fedora/Sugar thisweek and next
I've noticed that neither the SoaS CD Boot Helper nor the SoaS Floppy Disk Boot Helper manage to boot SoaS Mirabelle (Fedora 13). (For that matter, the Floppy Disk Helper doesn't boot anything but Strawberry.) Is anybody interested in working on this, or are we basically abandoning older computers?

Re: [SoaS] [Sugar-devel] SoaS with Sugar 0.87.2 coming to a system near you
This version lacks csound-python. (A simple install adds it back in.) I'd appreciate csound-python being included - both now and forever.

Please note that this snapshot is already part of our way to Sugar on a Stick v3. It's still based on F12 for stability reasons, though (this will change in the development cycle). But it incorporates already a number of significant changes which are part of the change to the SoaS v3 builds. The build is available here: http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/snapshots/3/soas-3-20091228.iso Please follow the Blueberry instructions to put it on your flash drive. You can even run it on your XO-1 from a flash drive (NAND installation possibilities are being evaluated) by using liveusb-creator. Afterwards, plug it into your XO-1 and type: boot u:\boot\olpc.fth However, a known issue is (on the XO-1 only) that the X session tends to crash when trying to scroll. Help with debugging this would be very welcome. Thanks and happy testing! --Sebastian P.S.: Enjoy your holidays! ___ Sugar-devel mailing list sugar-de...@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel ___ SoaS mailing list SoaS@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/soas
