Internet, Conectividad

===¿Desde qué lugares me puedo conectar a Internet?

¿Qué tengo que hacer para entrar a Internet?

Nuestra Guia rapida de conectividad respondera la mayoría de preguntas acerca de la conectividad con internet.

Estoy en Google, pero el navegador me dice "search failed"!

Cuando la actividad Navegar, muestra una pagina con el logo de Google y una caja de búsqueda. esta pagina se guarda localmente en el XO, y esto no indica que el XO esta conectado a Internet. Por favor mire Como puedo acceder a Internet para saber como conectarse a internet.

Que es exactamente una red mesh o de malla?

A mesh network allows nearby XO laptops to talk to one another directly (wirelessly) without the need for a traditional Internet Service Provider.

This feature makes very rural deployments (say, Nigeria) practical; there isn't much need for dedicated network hardware. The laptops do the heavy lifting, rather than the traditional hierarchical network of hubs/switches/routers.

Try the mesh demo here, to see how a mesh can connect to the Internet.

¿hay un programa de Email?

Ratón (mouse), Touchpad

¿Para qué hay 3 paneles en el área del touchpad, pero solo funciona el central?

The touchpad is designed to work with a stylus across the full width of the three panels. (Only the center panel is sensitive to your finger.) A stylus does not ship with the laptop.

Currently, there are no activities that use the stylus. However, in a future software release, the Paint Activity (formerly known as Draw) will work with a stylus.

For more information about the Journal, see OLPC Human Interface Guidelines/The Laptop Experience/The Journal.

¿Cómo grabo o recupero archivos de un pen-drive USB or una memoria SD-card?

Please see the complete instructions for using a USB Drive (sometimes known as a flash drive or USB key).

¿Cómo elimino un archivo?

Go to the Journal view, which you can access from the Home View. Select the notebook icon just below the XO character to open the Journal.

Find the file to be deleted by scrolling up and down the list.

Move the cursor over the file to be deleted and press to select and open a preview of the file.

Press the minus sign at the top of the screen to delete the file.

¿Cómo reproduzco archivos de sonido?

The eToys activity can play MP3 and Ogg files. After finding such a file in the Journal, click the far right icon (a square in a circle) to start eToys to play it.

To play sound files, you can also try the Watch and Listen activity, a Media Player based on the Helix project. When on the Journal entry for a sound file, click in the middle of the entry, to show the details. On that page, hover the mouse over the square-in-circle icon in the upper right corner of the screen. It should say "Resume", and list the possible activities that you can resume this file with. Click on Watch&Listen. Check for supported codecs you may need to download, if you require proprietary formats.

¿Cómo cierro una Actividad (programa)?

Most activities have an "Activity" tab with a close button () found at the top right of the display; select the close tab and press to close the activity.

For most activities, the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl-q or Ctrl-Esc can also close the activity (Esc is the key).

Alternatively, return to the Home view by pressing the "Home" key (). Hover the cursor over the activity icon to bring up a menu; press "Stop" to end the activity.

¿Cómo descargo e instalo Actividades (programas)?

Baterías: uso y carga

¿Es posible recargar la batería sin tener energía eléctrica?

The Get One XO does not ship with any human powered device or solar panel, which are designed to support the XO laptops shipped to developing countries.

Even without these accessories the XO is a Green Machine suitable for Off Grid and fluctuating power areas.

Future peripheral availability is discussed on the Product News page.

¿Cuánto dura la batería?

El funcionamiento de la batería es de aproximadamente de 3 a 6 horas, dependiendo de cuales actividades estén siendo usadas. Con las nuevas versiones del software se espera aumentar el tiempo de funcionamiento de la batería.

¿Está funcionando bien mi batería? ¿Por qué dice "descargando" estando enchufada?

The vast majority of reported battery issues are not in fact hardware problems, but rather software problems. This is because December 2007's Build 650 has a couple bugs which commonly leads to false reporting in the Home view, as to the actual amount of battery life.

These software bugs (#4208, #4401) will be fixed shortly, in an upcoming release.

If however your battery does not retain any charge at all, consider applying for an RMA return.

Disco y dispositivos de memoria

¿Con cuánta memoria cuenta el laptop?

The XO laptop has 256MB of dynamic RAM memory, as well as 1024MB (1GB) of flash memory.

Note: The flash memory acts as the hard disk. Original specifications are outlined here.

¿Cómo utilizo el slot para memoria SD-card?

The SD card slot is hidden on the edge of the unit under the power button. It is not intended for casual use, but intended for (semi)permanent augmentation of flash storage on the system. To try to keep water and dust out of the main unit, it has a rubber seal that makes it difficult to extract the SD card.

As a result, we recommend using the USB ports for casual transient storage expansion or moving files from computer to computer.

Problemas de hardware

Mi pantalla tiene algunos puntos muertos

We regret that our warranty does not provide for replacement laptops in this case, where just a few pixels are imperfect, in keeping with One Laptop per Child's mission to build the best all-around low-cost laptop for the Developing World.

Pueden los XO laptops compartir una coneccion de internet?

At the moment, an XO laptop cannot be on both the Internet and on the mesh network at the same time with a default laptop configuration.
