Removing reset_overlay

by Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams

So I went and removed reset_overlay from olpc.fth, thinking that I would then be able to save changes made to the system. However, I found on boot that /home doesn't get mounted because /dev/mtd0 doesn't exist. What could cause this, and how can we fix it? -- Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams <ivazqueznet(a)gmail.com> PLEASE don't CC me; I'm already subscribed

SD card instructions

by Karlie Robinson

I realize we won't have formal instructions for users until much closer to the release, but I've asked the artwork team to create an image illustrating how to insert the F10 SD card into the XO. I'll update this list with any progress reports. ~Karlie https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/DocIllustrationService#Request_list

Boot liveusb from cd

by Marco Pesenti Gritti

Hello, I wrote a quick script to generate a boot cd for a liveusb image with overlay. It can be useful on old systems which doesn't support boot from usb. http://www.sugarlabs.org/~marco/livecd-iso-to-boot.sh http://www.sugarlabs.org/~marco/boot.iso (for the latest sugar-spin.iso) Marco

Announcing Fedora Sugar Spin!

by Sebastian Dziallas

Hi everybody, I'm proud to be announce the availability of our Fedora Sugar Spin, which incorporates the Sugar Desktop Environment on a Fedora Live CD. So, what is this in specific? With this spin, you'll be able to run Sugar, which is developed by Sugarlabs and the desktop environment used on the OLPC, directly from a Live CD! You'll find several activities on the image including most notably... * sugar-browse - a web browsing activity based on xulrunner * sugar-write - a word processor based on abiword ...among with several other applications introducing e.g. chat support. We, the OLPC SIG, will be importing further activities into Fedora, which might be installed using 'yum install sugar-*' at a later time. Where can you get it? Easily, here: http://sdz.fedorapeople.org/olpc/sugar-spin.iso Here's the SHA1 checksum, just if you're interested: f032ab45aa116c2728dcd2d676e29a5ee114fd1d sugar-spin.iso And what if you wanted to put it quickly onto your USB Key? Even easier! You'll just need to grab Luke Macken's liveusb-creator, which already includes support for the Sugar Spin. Here's the link: https://fedorahosted.org/releases/l/i/liveusb-creator/liveusb-creator-3.0... Thank you everybody, who made this possible! --Sebastian

Activities packaging

by Marco Pesenti Gritti

A general note about activities packaging... It seem like some of the packages submitted for review uses git snapshots. I would prefer to get releases from upstream for various reasons. I wrote a script to make it trivial to make a source release and I'm figuring out the best way to solicit activity authors to get in the habit. Marco
