View source for Talk:F11 for XO-1

==Interesting How To...==

Not sure I'm up to doing it/ taking it on. 
but nice to know it's available for keeping
those with older hardware in the loop...

I've been calling the XO 1.5 a Fat XO in the Mac tradition,
same form factor / box, but different...  Maybe Prodigy XO?
It's same kid size, but smarter ;-/

git checkout xo-1
FAILS, no joy ;-( ...

[[User:Danceswithcars|danceswithcars]] 17:42, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

more specifically, fails in the following way:
 git checkout xo-1
 fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

== Still Didn't Work ... ==

I've not figured out Git.  The commands listed on main page didn't work for me...
same error.
Tried Perl6. Rakudo, proto and november (wiki in P6) with git and no success either.
Long learning curve...

== My XO-1 Bites the Dust ==

Ok, so I've been having touchpad problems since I got it, but a mouse workaround fixes that.

Then the camera not working, ok, I don't show record, the crowd pleaser, use Speak and the microphone app measure? instead...

But then the screen stops working (weird behavior, was blank restarting fixed, now dark line/bars and looks like shorting out, maybe a smell too?), then it's toast...

And the G1G1 program is not running, I'm probably a little light on the tech for doing an alpha (though would want it, run school server software, and show to LUG members, across users groups like Perl Mongers, mini demos, etc... and beta boards of Fat XO-1.5 are a ways away...

SO IT SEVERELY LIMITS WHAT ONE CAN DO WHEN YOU CAN'T GET THE HARDWARE,
LIKE ANY OTHER MACHINE... And wastes my years of experience with the project
(albeit mostly user, and OLPCLearningClub user group)...

Not sure if I'm going to be able to get them from lending / pool...

Ebay sounds risky...  Netbook Bakeoff (OLPCLearningClub comparing netbooks) makes me wonder which one,
though not a good comparison...

== XO-1.5 software will not fit on XO-1.0??? ==

How much will fit on a smaller Footprint?

If the XO-1.5 is 2x the machine that the XO-1 is (memory, processing power, etc),
then what software will one have to leave out in order to get it to fit and work on a more limited initial machine??

== Work starting ==

After some discussion on support-gang@ a working solution is:

  git checkout --track -b xo-1 origin/xo-1

Cheerfully proving everything I already believe about ''git''.

''snip out old dependency trouble''

: Fixed now - git pull and try again

 git reset --hard HEAD
 git pull
 make ...

PS - you don't need the --track option any more unless you've changed
the defaults.

Yes, thanks, the build nearly completes now. Apparently this new Fedora install doesn't have squashfs, so I'm working on that now.

[[User:Adricnet|Adricnet]] 03:50, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I'm on a new F11 vm and running a build now. Once I do that smoothly we can talk about automation and making builds available.

Cheers

== Working Better, Thanks ==

Better,

 cd fedora-xo/
 git checkout --track -b xo-1 origin/xo-1
 Branch xo-1 set up to track remote branch refs/remotes/origin/xo-1.
 Switched to a new branch 'xo-1'

seems to have changed the links to the latest changes on server...

 make 
needs an argument...
build file created looks interesting 
BUT wants to be root
 make fedora-xo.iso
so more git, packaging and build learning, 
but working better now, THANKS!

 python build

pulls lots of stuff down in rpms (AND I'M RUNNING ON A 64 BIT DESKTOP MACHINE PULLING 32 BIT RPMS?...)
