Little issue with Midore
by crodas
Hello All,
In the FC-11, The Midore Browser comes as the default browser. It looks
good so far, but it has a little bug, well it is not a proper bug, the
font-size is too big displaying messages.
As I said before, it is not a proper bug, and I fixed it by setting the
default font size to 6px, in the ~/.config/midori/config, and it looks
better. Is there a way to set this configuration by default?, I think it
could be done in the RPM itself, in a %post stage. I might be wrong. If
I'm not wrong, who is takes care of Midore (or perhaps Gnome) packaging?
Even though Sugar is our target desktop we want everything to (sort of)
work if some kid chooses to try out Gnome.
Best regards

the 1.5 machines after it passes final testing.

wireless device will disconnect on suspend and not come back until
the next reboot.
Changes from previous build os63:
* Add Q3A25 firmware
* Fix collaboration on ad-hoc networks (#9669)
* Remove GNOME Cheese app, which isn't working with our camera (#9841)

Thanks Martin and here goes some details:
http://rpmdev.proyectofedora.org is a new regional project (LATAM)
based on the idea to build a team, a latam team to package and develop
new applications (or unmaintained one, orphans, etc) cooperating in
our native language (spanish).
Since its a new project, the team is just building up from ground zero.
This thread started because we needed candidates to package and some
people in Peru started to think that im personally interested, not the
case, but, someone could be interested in the team.
http://rpmdev.proyectofedora.org/wiki/rpmfed/Lista_de_aplicaciones_candid...
lists candidates for our members to choose.
And plis excuse me , im will not suscribe another list ;) We just need
the material or someone interested in our team to do so (ill make sure
that our team knows that there are needs in olpc)

Offer of help with Sugar and related packages
by Martin Langhoff
Sorry about the crosspost -- I think the best is to keep this thread
going on fedora-olpc-list and to cc Guillermo Gomez ('gomix'). Note!
IIRC, fedora-olpc-list has broken reply-to behaviour so to keep him
cc'd takes extra effort (if you don't cc him explicitly, he'll get
dropped).
Guillermo is offering to help with Fedora packaging efforts related to
Sugar & OLPC. He is asking that we put together a list of things that
need help -- I've seen some such lists in the early days of this
mailing list but I don't know if there is one now.
I will start the conversation suggesting
- (mentioned by Tomeu) Existing maintainers are overstretched --
review existing rpms in Fedora rawhide for freshness, offer to
co-maintain or take over where it makes sense. Conssider packaging
updates.
- Scan bugzilla for bugs against sugar-*
- Gnash packaging (Tomeu)
It's not clear to me what Guillermo's plans are -- whether he'll work
on it personally, has a team working on this, plans to have a team one
day... in any case, Guillermo, I think it is an important first step
to subscribe to fedora-olpc-list. This list is where things are being
coordinated -- not being here you / your team won't be "in the know"
with the things you need to know. It's pretty moderate traffic,
nothing like lkml or fedora-devel... :-)
cheers,
m

dracut(?) problem
by Yioryos Asprobounitis
On the XO-1 under F11-XO1/os10, I patched with unionfs and recompiled the 2.6.31_xo kernel, to include unionfs and some other modules.
Installed on the XO-1 with "make install".
Then I made the initrd with "dracut initrd_name kenel_version" (dracut-olpc v0.30) and fixed the simlinks in /boot.
Everything looked good but rebooting resulted in a kernel panic with the attached message (picture of the screen actually).
I do not really know if the problem is with the kernel or the initrd or both (the message title can be misleading-just a guess) but the initrd is really huge, ~18MB compressed (!) and the mount complains might be indicative.
Should I have added specific dracut command line options or change the (any) config file?
Sorry for asking here but I couldn't find any xo-dracut howto.
Thanks for any suggestions/pointers.
