#REDIRECT [[F11 for XO-1]] |
|||
This is a page for notes and test results for the http://dev.laptop.org/~cjb/rawhide-xo/ development builds. |
|||
== What is it? == |
|||
A "spin" of [[Fedora]] rawhide (the development version of Fedora 11 Linux) incorporating recent [[Linux]] software packages, the [[Sugar]] desktop UI ''and'' a more conventional Gnome desktop. |
|||
As such it is sort of a replacement for the cutting-edge [[joyride]] [[OS images]] that OLPC used to produce. See [[Future releases]] for the change in plans. |
|||
As such builds are very raw and often may not work at all. |
|||
== Resources == |
|||
* [http://dev.laptop.org/~cjb/rawhide-xo/ preliminary images] |
|||
* [http://dev.laptop.org/git/projects/fedora-xo/ sources] |

|||
== Basic user guide == |
|||
On first boot at the login screen you can choose either Gnome or Sugar from the drop-down at the bottom. You want to login as "liveuser", or wait for automatic login. |
|||
== Differences from OLPC images == |
|||
''Many of these are probably shared with "Sugar on a Stick" Live USB, and should be on a common page.'' |
|||
* the default user is liveuser, not olpc |
|||
* liveuser can't use [[sudo]] to run commands as [[root]] (but can run [[su -l]] to become root). |
|||
* many olpc commands missing, such as [[olpc-init]] |
|||
* different file system |
|||
** /efi instead of /ofw |
|||
** /home/liveuser instead of /home/olpc |
|||
* Starts the Gnome desktop. |
|||
To start the [[Sugar]] UI, in Applications > System Tools > Terminal, type <tt>sugar-session</tt> (and press Enter). You can right-click on its menu item to move Sugar to a different desktop Workspace. |
|||
== Known issues == |
|||
* On the XO-1, you must hold down the check '''v''' gamepad key at boot, otherwise boot will hang with the XO guy on white. |
|||
* Keyboard map alert. |
|||
* Can't choose Gnome or Sugar after desktop login |
|||
* No power management until you install [[Ohm]] |
|||
* The stock Fedora kernel does not play sound, hence (probably) why totem crashes. [https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-olpc-list/2009-March/msg00136.html how to replace with the OLPC kernel] |
