New F11-for-XO1 build is available and needs testing

I have taken over creating builds for the XO1 from Daniel, and have created a 
new build of F11 for the XO1.  This build "OS3"  includes the pretty boot 
animations, and also replaces olpcsound with csound.

I would apprectiate testing and feedback.  I will have another build out early 
next week as well.

Builds can be downloaded from http://dev.laptop.org/~smparrish/xo-1/builds/

The usual cautions apply: this is development code, there will be
bugs. Installation instructions: use copy-nand to install os3.img with
os3.crc.

I've converted two XO-1s from running 'build os2' to running 'build 
os3'.  On os3, have not found any showstoppers - just the usual F11 
suspects.

Thanks for a good job   mikus

Can this build be updated to using olpc-update in order to only fetch
the changes via rsync?

Need Help: usb drive not visible in the journal

Hi all,

I am facing a sort of weird problem at this point. On my xo, my usb
drives are not visible in the journal. I mean the icons at the bottom
of the journal are not visible. However, to my surprise my usb
drives(pendrives) are mounted and I can access them from the terminal.
I have tested it with 3 pen drives so I don't think its due to my pen
drive. Moreover, these pen drives are not even visible in the
objectChooser widget when I invoke it through any of the xo activities
like write or paint.

Can anybody please suggest me a solution. Moreover, is there any way
to access the data in the journal through the terminal, I mean there
are many activities which saves data into the journal and I am in
severe need to access that data. Is there any way to do so. I got this
link-  http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Copy_to_and_from_the_Journal#Copy_from_Journal_script
, but I think the names of files are hashed and I won't be able to
recognize my file in this case.

Kindly give your suggestions.

Regards,
sumit

Re: Need Help: usb drive not visible in the journal

What version of Sugar are you running?

re copy-from-journal, if you use the -q flag, it will search on the
title and description fields.

copy-from-journal -q 'title of some journal object' filename

with copy-to-journal, it is it important to use a -m flag

copy to journal foo.png -m image/png

Not yet but the code is written..

filesystem, and feel free to jump in with a patch :)

sugar rawhide livecd image

Hi All,

I've done a Fedora Rawhide based snapshot. Now that the mass rebuild
is done for the step up it i686 I'd like to get some testing done so
that we can see what impact, if any, we'll see on the XO-1 with its
i586+cmov processor so that we can get bugs filed and things fixed as
early in the current rawhide rotation to ensure we get a well
supported F12 release. I'm going to do a new rawhide based snapshot
1-2 times a week. Let me know of any issues you see on is so we can
track them.

Cheers,
Peter
