Stream ,|x|Build stream::x}}
Category Test category::Boot Sub-category Test subcategory::olpc-update
Component System component::
Feature System feature::
Objective Test objective::From the terminal upgrade your XO using the olpc-update feature.
Tools Test tools::XO unit, internet connection
Setup Test setup::
Procedure [[Test procedure::
  1. Plug the XO into an electrical outlet
  2. Connect to the internet. If you are upgrading because you have a WPA hotspot at home, you might want to go to a Public Hotspot to connect to the internet for an online upgrade, such as a T-Mobile hotspot or a local libary.
    Firewall note: olpc-upgrade requires outgoing TCP PORT:873 to be unfiltered by the hotspot's firewall. In otherwords if the laptop has functional-access to the internet but olpc-upgrade returns the message "I don't think you're connected to the internet." check the hotspot's firewall is not blocking the outgoing TCP Port 873.
  3. Open the Terminal Activity Activity-terminal.svg or a console and type the following (press the Enter key after it):

From build 703 or later use the sudo command as described here. For earlier builds, see the note below. 

sudo olpc-update build-number

For example: 

 sudo olpc-update 711

Or for testing a new build: 

 sudo olpc-update 8.2-760

Where

  • build-number is the number of the build to be updated to.

Note: sudo does not work with some builds which require a password until you become "root". You can become "root" by pressing the "#_" icon at the top of the terminal screen. In builds earlier than 703 you may need to type "su -l" (note it's lower case "L" not the number "1") and then "olpc-update build-number" instead.]]
