Get the image running in QEmu so that you can see the normal view with the XO icon in the middle. |

[[Image:Empty_no_apps_no_frame.png|300px]] |
|||
Make sure your mouse is active in QEmu, then press '''ctrl+alt+2''' together. |
|||
This will bring up a screen like a command line, called the QEmu monitor. |
|||
Type the following: |
|||
sendkey ctrl-alt-f1 |
|||
And press return. |
|||
Then with the keyboard hold down the following keys: ctrl+alt+1 |
|||
Another text based screen will appear, asking you to log-in. Sometimes there can be an extra "1" after the word "Login:", just delete it. Type '''root''' and press return |
|||
Then type: |
|||
dhclient |
|||
You should see the screen fill with text. The important bit is at the bottom, where it should say "Bound to XX.XX.XX.XX" where the Xs are some numbers. |
|||
Then hold down the following keys on the keyboard: '''ctrl+alt+2''' |
|||
and type the following: |
|||
sendkey ctrl-alt-f7 |
|||
Then with the keyboard hold down the following keys: '''ctrl+alt+1''' |
|||
Now open the browser and you should have internet access. |

Thanks,Tom. Your instructions are now in my [http://digitalmediauniverse.blogspot.com/ blog about OLPC] (in portuguese because I am from Brazil).Now we need to know how to open two copies of the emulator and to chat one with other. |

Revision as of 22:02, 8 December 2006
It doesn't work. I followed the instructions here and it gives you a login prompt. You can wait, and it will switch to graphics mode, and display a black X cursor on a black screen. Then it will display a cursor on a light grey screen. Then it will exit back to the login prompt without any sort of message as to why. If you wait again it will repeat the process.
I did get a variation of that once, but never again. The first attempt, returned to the login prompt, but then when it repeated the process it gave me a login dialog. I pressed OK (or Enter?) without typing anything in the field, and it dropped me back to the login prompt without a message. Since then it hasn't managed to show that dialog again.
So can we PLEASE get some bloody documentation for this thing????
So that a normal person can actually use it?

There was a bug (fixed in later builds) with the UI crashing when you try to login with an empty nickname, as you did. If you try again with a fresh image and give a username this time, it'll work.

Hi there... I wrote the Windows XP page, and it worked for me... Are you using the same image build number? Some of the images have less functionality than others.

Works for 182, updated

Networking Issues in QEmu
If you are having trouble getting an internet connection inside QEmu see here.
Thanks,Tom. Your instructions are now in my blog about OLPC (in portuguese because I am from Brazil).Now we need to know how to open two copies of the emulator and to chat one with other. --Americo
Hey Tomhannen, great changes :), I think to talk with 2 qemu opened we shold use qemu with "network bridge", but I'm not sure if it's possible with OLPC images(from Brazil too). --[[User:|Darkmagus]]
I Googled the following link if you want to experiment, I have not had change to do so yet! Would be nice to get the module fro Ensoniq or Soundblaster sound for the OLPC images also to work! [1] It explains various methods, looks little elder, though (from 2004). The QEMU included documentation maybe also enough and at least fresh ([2] --Tonyv 10:41, 8 December 2006 (EST)
I'm guessing it was [this one]. I couldn't work it out - a bit complex... --Tomhannen 15:32, 8 December 2006 (EST)
