[[Sugar Control Panel]] page describes command-line version ?!

Control Panel > Date & Time, the caution "Changes require restart" is a light gray nearly invisible, seems the wrong color for a caution. But the warning alert is fine.

In [[Home view]] , hovering on an activity brings up {name of activity} with an Erase menu item.
But in the journal, the default for each "session document" is "Write Activity", "Terminal Activity", etc. and those also have an Erase menu item.
One of those removes the activity's code, one just removes a "session document". I get them confused.

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

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

Leave me a note...

Hi - this should help.

Notes on Update from build 708 (8.1.2 candidate) to joyride-2230

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.

 Downloading...
 Deleting ...
 Making clean /versions/updates/3d478...
 Trying irsync_pristine update from rsync://updates.laptop.org/build-joyride-2230
  - Cleaning tree.
  - Fetching contents.
  - Performing incremental rsync.

... long pause

 rsync: failed to open "/versions/updates/3d478.../usr/sbin/udevmonitor", continuing: No such file or directory (2)
 rsync error: some files coult not be transffered (code 23) at main.c (1385) [generator=2.6.9]

  - Creating contents for existing tree.
  - Fetching contents for update tree.
  - Performing incremental rsync.

... long pause, laptop screen went dark (standby?)

 rsync: getaddrinfo: updates.laptop.org 873: Name or service not known
 rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(104) [receiver=2.6.9]
 Trying rsync update from rsync://updates.laptop.org/build-joyride-2230

 - Performing full rsync

... 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? ffm|sh on chat says this is all expected.


Reboot

Note this update involves new firmware.

I pressed the check key to see information, below I type some of what I saw. I can't keep up with the text.

Trying nand:\security\developer.sig

Updating firmware...

screen went dark, happy chime

OpenFirmware CL1 Q2D16 Q20

trying key

OpenFirmware CL1 Q2D16 Q2D


Updateing firmware....

screen went dark, happy chime

Now OpenFirmware Q2E12 A2E

Is it expected that it restarts three times, second restart still running the original firmware.

Linux boot messages.

Bugs, TODO

cat /etc/issue still has a garbled second line: Kernel \r on an \m

In Home view , hovering on an activity brings up {name of activity} with an Erase menu item. But in the journal, the default for each "session document" is "Write Activity", "Terminal Activity", etc. and those also have an Erase menu item. One of those removes the activity's code, one just removes a "session document". I get them confused.
