I have an XO-1 with OFW q2e33 and have intermittently tried out Rawhide-XO builds and SoaS 2 builds with varying success. I downloaded Soas2-200903271806.iso and ran latest LiveUSB-Creator 3.6.3 under Windows XP to put it and a 256 MB persistent storage area on a USB flash drive. The USB flash drive is "2GB" (approx 1,900,000,000 bytes) USB flash drive with a handful of other files on it. Insert the USB flash drive, power on XO-1, hold down check key. The hot dog is back! After a minute the screen goes dark. After another 90 seconds of dark screen I get the blue swirl Login: screen with "liveuser", Log in. After several seconds that goes to dark screen, and a few seconds later I'm back at the blue Login: screen. :-( In a console, ~liveuser has no .sugar subdirectory, so it looks like Sugar never got rolling. The file "/var/log/slim.log" has various tantalizing errors. The whole thing follows. Should I try tinkering with DISPLAY and permissions? There is no /home/liveuser/.Xauthority file, and /home/liveuser is drwx-r-xr-x owned by root, not liveuser, so it seems odd. Hope this helps. Is there a Talk page somewhere on SugarLabs.org to report success or failure with SoaS 2 builds? -- =S Page /var/log/slim.log contents: /usr/bin/xauth: creating new authority file /var/run/slim.auth X.Org X Server 1.6.0 Release Date: 2009-2-25 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0 Build Operating System: Linux 2.6.18-128.1.1.el5 i686 Current Operating System: Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.29-0.258.2.3.rc8.git2.fc11.i586 #1 SMP Tue Mar 24 18:37:23 EDT 2009 i586 Build Date: 12 March 2009 01:39:32PM Build ID: xorg-x11-server 1.6.0-13.fc11 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org to make sure that you have the latest version.
