Re: Upgrade G1G1 using autoreinstallation method
Hi all, quote who=John Watlington I'm glad you found a solution. Can you provide more information (such as exactly what model of AP are you using ? Which versions of firmware worked/didn't work.) Just wanted to give everyone an update. I bought a DLink DWL-2100AP which is what David and Ian are trying to implement for their XO rollouts. We found that we could not get DHCP working on the AP at all for either an XO or for an IBM laptop running Ubuntu. We tried several different firmware versions (although the AP is seemingly locked to European firmware and we can't use the US ones) and the only way we could use it was as an AP that forwards DHCP requests to the network. We've spent about 4 hours today trying to troubleshoot the issues and I am unfortunately going to have to recommend that the APs be plugged into a network which plugs into an XS server for DHCP to get the XOs connected. David, where you can't have an XS server you could always buy a different AP or other DHCP allocation device per site for DHCP resolution as these APs seem to be inappropriate for the job (at least the Australian ones).

I'm only guessing, but I have a feeling we're looping infinitely there.
That, of course, would be easy enough to determine empirically.
I added a loop counter and made it print out a message when it reaches
the 500th iteration. It hit the condition rather quickly, and in the
first case: addr=0x42 command=0x46 value=0x58
This is one of the More reserved magic, some of which tweaks white
balance writes in ov7670_default_regs.
Turned it off, repeated the test, 2nd time it was different:
addr=0x42 command=0x69 value=0x0
This is the REG_GFIX write.
Reproduced it again, 3rd time: addr=0x42 command=0x45 value=0x34
This is another more reserved magic write.
There does not seem to be any consistency to the failures here.
We're testing an XO with that patch reverted, so far so good but we
should leave it for longer before making conclusions.
It has now rebooted 385 times without crashing, so this patch does
appear to be the culprit.
But does that get you back to the long startup times that the patch went
in to fix? That won't make anybody happy.
As far as we can see, this patch was never included in any OLPC builds.
However, we do ship some other delay improvements such as

developers who need to be given accounts so that they can commit to your

If any developers don't have their SSH2 keys on the web, please attach them
to the application e-mail.
7. Preferred development model
[X] Central tree. Every developer can push his changes directly to the
project's git tree. This is the standard model that will be familiar to
CVS and Subversion users, and that tends to work well for most projects.
[ ] Maintainer-owned tree. Every developer creates his own git tree, or
multiple git trees. He periodically asks the maintainer to look at one
or more of these trees, and merge changes into the maintainer-owned,
main tree. This is the model used by the Linux kernel, and is
well-suited to projects wishing to maintain a tighter control on code
entering the main tree.
If you choose the maintainer-owned tree model, but wish to set up some
shared trees where all of your project's committers can commit directly,
as might be the case with a discussion tree, or a tree for an individual
feature, you may send us such a request by e-mail, and we will set up the
tree for you.
8. Set up a project mailing list:
[ ] Yes, named after our project name
[ ] Yes, named __
[X] No
When your project is just getting off the ground, we suggest you eschew
a separate mailing list and instead keep discussion about your project
on the main OLPC development list. This will give you more input and
potentially attract more developers to your project; when the volume of
messages related to your project reaches some critical mass, we can
trivially create a separate mailing list for you.
If you need multiple lists, let us know. We discourage having many
mailing lists for smaller projects, as this tends to
stunt the growth of your project community. You can always add more lists
later.
9. Commit notifications
[ ] Notification of commits to the main tree should be e-mailed to the list
we chose to create above
[X] A separate mailing list, projectname-git, should be created for commit
notifications
[ ] No commit notifications, please
10. Shell accounts
As a general rule, we don't provide shell accounts to developers unless
there's a demonstrated need. If you have one, please explain here, and
list the usernames of the committers above needing shell access.
11. Translation
[X] Set up the laptop.org Pootle server to allow translation
commits to be made
[ ] Translation arrangements have already been made at ___
12. Notes/comments:
If you reject this, I'll stop using headphones in the office. Bad news.

Re: [Server-devel] Edublog - How do I select tinyMCE in moodle?
Hi Martin, From my reading of the forums it looks like users can choose the editor they want to use in 2.0. I couldn't find any working patches for 1.9 (tried a few and got lots of errors). Most are for the latest version. I was able to get tinyMCE working if I upgrade to 1.9.1. I'm curious if the XS build will upgrade Moodle 1.9.1 anytime soon. For Edublog, will it matter much which version we use? We need to do the install of Moodle ourselves anyway right, since it will be a while before it gets on the XS with the EduBlog modifications?

Unsure, it's not my area - I heard MartinD on Monday say that tinyMCE was going to be the default editor for 2.0. He makes the final call, so when you scan those threads, check out what he says, and if Eloy or Petr Skodak chime in. That might be a tough decision - which editor to support - do some research, perhaps check if any GSoC efforts are on the editor. cheers, m ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
Re: [Server-devel] kernel panic in XS-163

In this configuration, XS-163 CD (unmodified, straight from the OLPC website) installs just fine. This clears a major hurdle. Apparently having two identical SATA drives was enough for it to think that software or hardware-assisted RAID would be used, and changes /dev/sda to /dev/mapper/pdc_bbbh. Good thinking - I think you're right in the diagnosis.

Re: [Server-devel] Edublog - How do I select tinyMCE in moodle?
On Wed, Jun 18, 2008 at 3:25 AM, Tarun Pondicherry [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: For Edublog, will it matter much which version we use? Sorry, perhaps I haven't been clear - when I've said 1.9, I was thinking of the tip of MOODLE_19_STABLE, the latest in the 1.9.x series. Right now, it would be 1.9.1+. So what I've always done is to work on top of the tip of the current MOODLE_XX_STABLE branch (often people say _STABLE to refer to it), so as to be able to deliver within short timeframes. And at the same time, keeping an eye on HEAD, and having a reasonable idea of what it'll take to port it to HEAD, so that we can include it in the next official release. Tricky ;-) So in terms of editor matters, I would use the latest _STABLE, with the patches to enable TinyMCE (assuming TinyMCE is the v2.0 target), so you any work on tuning the editor can be applicable to v2.0 later. There are a couple of changes in 2.0 that will mean some minor rework, but we can't worry about that yet. cheers, m -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
