Flash Lite Community for XO, Gnash, Free RIA Tools
Hi guys! Just made an invite to the Flash Lite community to work on Flash for OLPC and am starting to get a trickle of volunteers. I take it back about AS2 as a dead-end technology that should be abandoned. It's much easier to learn for newbie-coders AJAX/DHTML devs since it's Javascript (AS3 syntax is more or less Java), and all the current phones that have Flash Lite still use AS2. Processing non-coder enthusiasts should have an easy time w/ AS2. Also, Gnash support is important and bleeding edge SWFs do not run on Gnash. Also, forwarding from Rob Savoye of Gnash. This is very important for Flash Dev on the XO, can you guys see about this and getting the Gnash packages on the latest OLPC builds updated? I'm not on the Gnash dev list since the 99% of the under-the-hood Gnash discussions are gibberish to me, so maybe John Gilmore can liaise. From Rob: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Projects/Flash_Gamedev (sorry, needs to be updated. haven't touched it in a while. will try to update it this weekend) -Naz I see one thing I should point out on this page, Gnash 0.8.3 is ridiculously ancient, and should be avoided. Much of the problems of Gnash on the XO are because the packages on the XO are *years* out of date. :-( If you'd upgrade, most of the problems mentioned go away. This has been a continual problem with the XO and Gnash functionality. Seriously, 0.8.3 is so old, I wish it wasn't shipped at all as it just makes for a bad experience. So I have an rpm repository where I build weekly packages for the XO. Go to http://www.getgnash.org/packages/, (the XO packages are listed at the bottom) These have fully working sound, etc... much better AVM1/swf v9 support, better video performance, many compatibility bugs fixed, etc... I strongly recommend using a newer Gnash, it just works so much better... Just as a note, the Gnash team loves bug reports, we just prefer they're on a recent version... Bug reports can go here: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=gnash - rob - --- Finally, I just remembered: Flex Builder (the Flex AS3 IDE, aka Flash Builder) is free for non-profit educational use. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/free/index.html We provide free copies of Adobe Flash Builder 4 Standard to: Students, faculty and staff of eligible educational institutions There's a Linux beta of Flex Builder, not updated to the latest version, but good enough for a lot of stuff I think. Haven't tried it out since I'm not really a Flex Person, I use the Flash CS Pro IDE mostly for my projects. I'm asking if OLPC the deployment teams as well as the kids are elegible for this. -- carlos nazareno http://twitter.com/object404 http://www.object404.com -- Core Team Member Phlashers: Philippine Flash Actionscripters http://www.phlashers.com -- if you don't like the way the world is running, then change it instead of just complaining. ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Troubles reconnecting new ALPS controller
After the switch to the ALPS touchpad + controller, it's nice to see the departure of the 2 ribbon cables that don't have clips (the extra bit of plastic came off too easily, making it hard to disconnect the cables), but we now have a new difficulty: The small ribbon cable that connects the mouse to the ALPS board is clipped into the white sockets on both ends with little black clips. These clips come off really easily and are hard to put back in place. I've seen this happen a few times now and it's a pain. Any chance of improvements in the future? cheers Daniel ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

This is the only bit that seems a bit surprising to me. Granted, the /versions system is a little perplexing (but it works, and is being shipped on XO-1.5, so it has good support in the present day). And granted, it doesn't work for large substantial updates, and doesn't update activities. But it is a nice system for small updates, with fairly good documentation. It has only a 15mb overhead. I also set up all the infrastructure in Paraguay to push these to schools and XOs automatically, and we actually rolled out a tiny update in 1 school to test it (worked perfectly first time). And I documented it. Being the first deployment to run with this substantial software update, it seems somewhat likely that you'll find a few niggly bugs that would be nice to fix in the coming weeks. olpc-update would provide you with a mechanism to do that with minimal effort.

Re: ANNOUNCE: F11 for the XO-1 build 140py released
I usually bring the system up with messages being displayed (NOT in pretty-boot). Several times now, the system has paused/hung at about the time it should be running through /etc/rc.d/rc0.d (or suchlike). [Note: the camera LED is on.] After SEVERAL MINUTES nothing more has happened - so I just reboot. [I can not bring up a text console, so I can't take a dump.] The hang is random - so the next boot usually works. As far as I am concerned, if the machines in the field also encounter this hang -- it is a blocker to the release of build 140py. mikus ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

If everything goes well, within a few days we'll start NANDblasting it on all laptops. Besides the limited language support (we only ship English and Spanish strings), there's nothing in this build that would prevent its use outside of Paraguay. == Changes relative to the previous release (os115 Paraguay) == * Append py to the image name to avoid confusion with other OS flavors developed in parallel (me) * Add activities requested by the education team: Typing Turtle, Ruler, Analyze, Poll Builder, Jigsaw Puzzle, Slider Puzzle, Tux Paint, Social Calc, Clock, Colors, Labyrinth, Physics. (jorge) * Merge most changes from F11-XO1 changes (smparrish) * Remove olpc-update and disable the /versions kludge (me, smparrish) * GSM broadband support: most modems are supported, as long as they don't require USB mode switching. (tch) * Basic GUI to backup/restore the Journal to the schoolserver. We're working with Plan Ceibal to merge this functionality with their GUI to perform backups to removable media (tch jorge) * Sugar updated to 0.84.15 (sugarlabsolpc) * Pull latest OS updates from upstream (fedora) == Bugs fixed == * Record does not record sound (alsroot) http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1244 * NetworkManager crashes on suspend/resume (dcbw, tch) http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2010-February/thread.html#27505 * Register menu item doesn't disappear after successful registration (km0r3, me) http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1837 * Can't restore a journal that was backed up to the XS with Sugar 0.82 (bernie, jorge) == Known bugs == Remaining bugs are summarized here: http://wiki.paraguayeduca.org/index.php/Devel/Builds/Todo There are no longer any known regressions relative to the previous stable build from OLPC (OS801 Paraguay). Social Calc has known quirks on with the new OS, one of which appears to be a simple timing issue. == How to help testing == Feedback from the entire community is very appreciated, although there's not much time left. Bugs belonging to upstream components should be filed in the usual trackers: * Sugar and activities: http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ * Fedora 11: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/ * Drivers and OLPC customizations: http://dev.laptop.org/ * Paraguay-specific bugs: http://trac.paraguayeduca.org/ If you're unsure where a bug belongs to, use the Paragauy Educa tracker. Please, always assign these bugs to Carlos, who will keep our status summary updated. We're unlikely to dedicate much attention to bugs affecting Gnome and obscure activities with no active maintainer, but it's still good to be informed on what is broken. For everything else, we'll do our best, with the help of OLPC, Fedora, and Sugar Labs. == How to join development == Build system source: http://git.paraguayeduca.org/gitweb/users/bernie/olpc-os-builder.git Yum Repository containing our custom RPMs (along with sources): http://repo.paraguayeduca.org/f11-xo1-py/i386/os/ http://people.sugarlabs.org/bernie/olpc/pyeduca-repo/f11-xo1-py/ IRC: #olpc-paraguay irc.feenode.net (English also welcome) ___ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!) i...@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

With the exception of the first boot that something on olpc.fth blocks it (with no OFW messages) and never goes to console. Regarding the freeze at the camera-check boot point, I had it with os129py (not with os140py yet) but I considered it a consequence of my broken camera.
