Spent about a week on the DC Lending Library machines, doing setup, starting from http://proyectojuanchacon.blogspot.com/2009/04/stuck-in-customs.html instructions, which I hadn't found nor read ahead of time...

  • Unpacking with Arlington Career Center students...
  • Get developer keys (not sure why would want to disable some of this stuff,

as could control return time by bricking it/ lease use, but others want to run non standard stuff...)

  • Collecting information with supplied USB Key LAPTOP.DAT
  • Give to Jelkner to send for Activation / Developer Keys
  • Wait couple of days for developer keys...
  • Escape out of a boot, in Open Firmware Console
cp -vb /media/3TABWHATEVERUSBDEVICENUMBER/OLPCLearningClub/develop.sig /security/


# Escape out of boot, in Open Firmware Console 
disable-security
  # reboots itself, but don't forget to escape next boot
disable-security


  • To Upgrade firmware and activities
  • As root in Terminal
su root
#found /usr/sbin/olpc-update was required on older shipped machines build 656
 /usr/sbin/olpc-update -frvv 802
  (student discovered the 767 build was not the latest)
  -f full update, as incremental was restarting on file conflicts
  -vv verbose x2 gives file names directories and bytes/ speedups
   and much easier to tell what it's doing
  -r reboot after completes


# Wait for maybe 30 minutes? depending on how many at once, server speed, etc...
  • Enter information into docs.google.com spreadsheet Jeff is developing.
