User:Skierpage

I'm a fan but just a casual G1G1 user and occasionally run images on Windows.

• I edit wiki pages here on wiki.laptop.org (I document/support/test the wikipedia:Semantic MediaWiki extension so I'm fairly knowledgeable about MediaWiki).
• I file bugs.

You can e-mail me as "info" at my web site, skierpage.com.

Leave me a note...

Hi - this should help.

Update notes

Got a developer key, found a few bugs.

In 8.1.1, build 708, more /etc/issue shows

 OLPC build update.1 708 (stream udpate.1; variant devel_jffs2)
 Kernel \r on an \m

Bug: last line seems bogus!?

Couldn't

 sudo olpc-update 709

got "unknown moudle 'build-709': could not find build 709: are you sure it exists? Sure enough, rsync rsync://updates.laptop.org | sort doesn't list it.

OK, so much for trying 8.1.2!

Per Friends in Testing,

 sudo olpc-update joyride-2230

seems to work.

... long pause, laptop screen went dark, went to bed

 Next morning
 Verifying update.
 Installing update in /versions/{pristine,run}/3d478...
 Update succeeded!

Are the first two failures expected? Seems like rsync will fail if it goes into standby?
