Just looking at the Sugar battery monitor in 2 XO-1s running 21011o0 and os880 (but this one with FW updated
to q2f08)

Actually, it does NOT discharge when off the XOs !

I guess I should get some power logs.
Anything else?

Offtopic: directional antenna for XO-1.75?

I am expecting to take a brief holiday out in the sea. Many bays with anchorage also have bars and restaurants with open wifi. I prefer to enjoy breakfast on board... and get my interweb fix from afar.

Is there any directional wlan antenna kit or setup that is practical with an XO?

Maybe something that has the same antenna plugs as the XO antenna? I can cut the green bumper.

Or a usb-wlan device that is both supported by our standard builds and easy to hook up to a directional antenna?

Or something else entirely?

I will need to mount it on something that swivels easily, as the boat changes position with wind and currents when anchored.

cheers,

m

en_GB in OLPC OS 12.1.0

OLPC OS 12.1.0 is looking good! I noticed that en_US and en_AU are
available. We have our language fallbacks set to en_AU;en_GB;en_US to
overcome the lack of strings in en_AU. Would it be possible to have
en_GB included by default as well?

Thanks,
Sridhar

[PATCH powerd] Fix config_SLEEP_WHEN_LID_CLOSED

Since 792c7dd3 powerd stays asleep by default while the lid is
closed. That's important for some use cases (putting suspended laptops
inside a charging rack), but breaks config_SLEEP_WHEN_LID_CLOSED=false
unless the new configuration option config_WAKE_WHEN_LID_OPEN has been
explicitly set to true by the user. As this option isn't present in
the configuration file where powerd was updated rather than freshly
installed, it takes them some time to figure out why
config_SLEEP_WHEN_LID_CLOSED doesn't work anymore.

Since the user has no expectation of the laptop going to sleep at all
when closing the lid if config_SLEEP_WHEN_LID_CLOSED is set to false,
it's safe to always enable config_WAKE_WHEN_LID_OPEN in that case.

Battery losing charge while off

One of my XO batteries (~2years old) is loosing about 12% of its charge in 24h period while the XO is off.
This is not related to a specific XO but rather the battery itself.
I did run batman.fth bat-recover just in case but made no difference.
Also tried to clean the contacts of any possible dust and humidity with no result either.
I did not see any relevant info on the wiki about this specific issue and I was wondering if this 'can happen'
and if there is anything that can be done about it, other than replacing the battery.
Thx.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Wanting to know a bit of (NetworkManager) workflow upon resume-from-suspend

Hi all.

Here is the latest update.

We got the following two patches tested by Ceibal ::


a)
0001-TEST-See-if-this-works-for-the-mesh-issue-on-signed-.patch

This patch, adds "/etc/modprobe.d/libertas.conf" to the initramfs image (unarchiving, adding and archiving during OOB stage).
Unfortunately, this does not seem to work.

We could debug it more, but I fear that that would inevitably mean modifying the initramfs a fair bit. Since, we are talking at the kernel level, modifying initramfs even a bit too much, would require exponential more testing.

Lucking, we have a simple, clean, understood and guaranteed-to-work solution.




b)
0001-olpc-configure-Reloading-libertas-and-dependent-usb8.patch

(As already stated in earlier mails) This patch reloads the libertas (and the dependent usb8xxx driver) during intial boot, which mounts the secondary-storage-based-filesystem. This time, the rules from /etc/modprobe.d/* are read, and the mesh is appropriately disabled via the "libertas_disablemesh" KLM parameter.

So, it would be good if this is included upstream.


For brevity, I am re-attaching the two patches.


Thanks and Regards,
Ajay

Browse crashes - os11 running on XO 1.75

Browse crashes very easily.  For example opening http://html5test.com crashes Browse.
(By the way Browse does get a nice score on the test).

Booting OLPC OS 12.1 from USB sticks and SD cards


Hi folks!

As I've had considerable trouble getting OLPC OS 12.1 to work on my XOs,
I thought I'd share with everyone what I know to be broken so others
don't fall into the same traps:

|                  | XO-1                    | XO-1.5  | XO-1.75        |
|------------------+-------------------------+---------+----------------|
| USB stick        | working                 | working | boot broken    |
| external SD card | boot and suspend broken | working | suspend broken |

Tickets:
- boot broken: OLPC#11872 [1]
- suspend broken: OLPC#11751 [2]

Add hardware compatibility issues to the above and you'll end up with a
less than 50% chance to get OLPC OS 12.1 to work on a random XO. That's
a lot of fun to diagnose when trying to test something else...

Sascha

OLPC stuff found during Pootle housekeeping

Dear OLPC'ers,

I was poking around on the Pootle server (translate.sugarlabs.org) and
I came across some old remnants of previously hosted OLPC projects
dating back to when Pootle was on an OLPC hardware.

In the interest of cleaning up (prior to a future migration to a new
Pootle VM (hopefully on our new hardware), there are a few projects I
wanted to ask about to determine if there were any reason to retain
these (even if only as on-line back-up and archive)?

In this dir:
/var/lib/pootle/translations

1) act_server

# OLPC Activation and Theft-Deterrence Server
# Copyright (C) 2008 One Laptop Per Child Association, Inc.
# This file is distributed under the same license as the act-server package.
# C. Scott Ananian <cscott <at> laptop.org>, 2008.

2) content

(only two strings)

msgid "Developer key request"

msgid "Use the button below to request a developer key for your machine."

3) packaging

# ONE LAPTOP PER CHILD    http://www.laptop.org
# XO - Start-up Kit

# This page is for the green-and-white stuffer sheet explaining
# in very simple terms what the laptop's pieces are and do, and
# what its basic interfaces do.

4) OLPC website (contains the following)

auxilary.pot
bio.pot
children.pot
foundation.pot
gettingstarted.pot
laptop.pot
toplevel.pot
vision.pot

5)  Older Sugar projects

I will probably zip and archive these as we no longer accept L10n on
them, but they are Sugar, so I'll keep them on our server.

fructose82
glucose82
update1
xo_bundled
xo_core

Does anyone from OLPC have a desire to hold the archive of the
OLPC-specific PO dirs?  Is there any interest in revising these and
having these opened up to accept new L10n?
