Free hosting for your Sugarizer Server

[Lionel Laské]

Hi all,

We're launching a beta version for our Sugarizer Server Free hosting
service: *Sugarizer Server School Portal*

https://sugarizer.site/

The idea is simple:
- You already know Sugarizer and like it
- You want to use collaboration features of Sugarizer, so you need a
Sugarizer Server
- You want to have your private Sugarizer Server dedicated to your
deployment
- You want to control and manage the work of learners and manage and
analyze all activities on your deployment using Sugarizer Server Dashboard
- You don't have skill or resource to host your own Sugarizer Server

That's fine, the School Portal service is for you!
We offer you for free (yes free!):
- A dedicated Sugarizer Server to host your deployment
- A dedicated DNS address: https://.sugarizer.site to use it
from anywhere (browser, PC, tablets)
- A dedicated admin access to manage stats and activities on your server
- A limited online support (Slack/Mail/IRC) to help you during deployment

It's totally free, the only things we expect from you are:
- *Use it for real!* We don't want to host servers just to play with
Sugarizer Server, it's already easy to play with it on
https://try.sugarizer.org.
- *Give us feedback*: how you use it, what's cool, what's wrong, what's
missing... We need users' feedback to improve Sugarizer.

That's all: you just have to sign up and request a deployment - telling us
how you plan to use it - and we'll create a deployment for you quickly.
Start now, we're not sure to be able to serve everyone.
Find here a step by step tutorial :
https://sugarizer.org/download/ssp_stepbystep.gif

Let me know if you've got any questions.

Regards.

   Lionel

Hi Simon,

Thanks for your interest on Sugarizer.
If you're running Sugarizer Server into Docker, the file to update is
env/docker.ini (not env/sugarizer.ini).
You could see (and eventually change) this settings here:
https://github.com/llaske/sugarizer-server/blob/master/docker/Dockerfile-server.tpl#L3

Best regards.

[Announcement] Sugarizer v1.0 is available for your device

[Lionel Laské]

Hi all,



I'm proud to announce the version 1.0 of Sugarizer, a taste of Sugar for
any device.



http://sugarizer.org



Finally, five years after the start of the development and after 9 beta
versions, Sugarizer is now officially released.

Added to activities and features that you enjoyed in beta versions, in this
version you will find:

   - Login Screen: Secure your connection to the server with a login and an
   unique password image.
   - Journal synchronization: You will never lost your work again. Let's
   connect to a Sugarizer Server and your journal will be automatically
   synchronized on the server. So you will retrieve your work on your tablet,
   browser or laptop in the same state you left it.
   - Stability: Hours of testing has been done and tens of issues has been
   fixed in this version both in Sugarizer core and activities. You will have
   in your hand the more stable Sugarizer version ever.
   - Standalone Server: No need to change settings of your web server to
   deploy Sugarizer Server. Thanks to nodejs, Sugarizer Server works now as a
   stand alone server. It's also separated from the Client to simplify
   deployment and maintenance.
   - Dashboard: The ultimate tool to handle a Sugarizer Server deployment
   is now here. Inspect users, activities, journals and follow more than 10
   graphs and indicators (top users, top activities, % active users, average
   journal size, …) to have a total understanding of what happens on your
   Sugarizer deployment.
   - Security and privacy: With a password image to access to your content,
   a full HTTPS support and privacy options in settings, your privacy is a top
   priority in Sugarizer.
   - Scratch activity: It's not a dream, the little cat is now directly
   integrated in Sugarizer like Turtle, Jappy and Etoys. Learning how to
   program has never been so simple with Sugarizer.
   - Fototoon activity: The famous Sugar activity is now into Sugarizer.
   Use your pictures, your drawing or images from Abecedarium database to
   create in few minutes an amazing comic strip to share with your friends.
   - Game of Life activity: A game to observe and explore how cells
   interacts and evolves generation after generation.
   - Flip activity: A simple strategy game where you flip "coins" in order
   to get all of them with the same side up.
   - Activity Development Tutorial: What if you decide to create yourself
   an activity? In a 4 hours tutorial you will learn all you need to know to
   explore Sugar UI, Journal, Localization and Presence.

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Samson,

Strange. Did you give authorization to install APK from unknown source in
your Android settings [1] ?
Because the Sugarizer OS APK is not deployed on Play Store yet - because
still in beta -, you need to allow unknown source to install it.

Best regards.

   Lionel.

Hi Caryl,

The WebView integrated in Jelly Bean - alias Android 4.3 - has a poor
support of HTML5/JavaScript.
It's why unfortunately, I can't guaranty a good Sugarizer compatibility
under Android 4.4 on all activities.
Here [1] a graphic of Android version distribution, Android 4.3 and lower
is still at 15%.

Best regards.

Lionel.

Hi Steve,

Yes, unfortunately EToys could have some limitation because it need to load
a full VM to run, it's why it not appear as favorite by default.
I'm CC'ed Bert that could help you on it.

[Lionel Laské]

Thanks all.

@Walter, PR is the best way.
More precisely: clone Sugarizer, replace Turtle Blocks code by the new one,
if possible test on all browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, EDGE) to ensure
portability on all devices, then PR.

Re: [Sugar-devel] [Announcement] Sugarizer v0.8 is available for your device

[Lionel Laské]

Any Android applications could work into Sugarizer OS.
Two applications that we love here:
- GCompris: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.gcompris
- ScratchJR:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.scratchjr.android

The idea of Sugarizer OS is to mix Sugarizer activities with Android
application that you love and that you can't find in Sugarizer.

But of course it's also a good opportunity to integrate "standard"
application like Chrome or Google Play into Sugarizer so you could launch
it without leaving Sugarizer.

Lionel.

[Announcement] Sugarizer v0.8 is available for your device

[Lionel Laské]

Hi all,



I'm proud to announce the eighth version (0.8) of Sugarizer, a taste of
Sugar for any device.



http://sugarizer.org



Main features in this new version:

   - Speak activity: The famous Sugar Speak activity: anything you type
   will be spoken aloud using the speech synthesizer.
   - Moon activity: Another famous Sugar activity. A Moon phase viewer,
   includes Lunar phase information and eclipse data.
   - Video Viewer activity: A generic video viewer, explore a predefined
   libraries (Khan Academy, Canopé) or import your own library and share it
   with others in the Journal.
   - Shared Notes activity: A shared board where you could stick Post-It
   notes and share it in real time with others using presence.
   - Updated Etoys activity: Latest version of Etoys is now included in the
   Sugarizer package.
   - Windows 10:  Sugarizer is now available in the Windows Store [1]. So
   if you've got a PC on Windows, Sugarizer is one click long from you.
   - Performance improvement: script optimization and lazy loading of data
   had dramatically improve performance in all activities.
   - Better touch support: a new scrollable home view and a better handling
   of long touch on touch screens of any size.
   - Application size reduction: Sugarizer application size is now under
   50Mb.
   - Portuguese localization: a new language support for our friends from
   Portugal and Brazil,
   - SugarLabs inside: Sugarizer source code is now in SugarLabs repository
   [8].



New in Sugarizer 0.8 for Android is "Sugarizer OS". Sugarizer OS is a way
to use Sugarizer as your Android Launcher on the device. So you could have
the same experience with Sugarizer on your tablet/smartphone that you've
got with Sugar on the XO laptop. More specifically, Sugarizer OS features
are:

   - Directly boot the device on Sugarizer home view (no more Android stuff)
   - Full features and activities of Sugarizer (Sugarizer and Sugarizer OS
   share the same code)
   - Include both Sugarizer activities and Android applications in your
   home view using favorites feature
   - Launch Android applications from Sugarizer home view
   - Journal will trace both Sugarizer and Android application launch
   - Launch Android settings from the Sugarizer settings dialog
   - Manage WiFi connection from the Sugarizer neighborhood view (like in
   Sugar)



With Sugarizer OS, Sugar on Android is now a reality: enjoy the experience
and spread the world with Sugarizer !



Sugarizer 0.8 is available on: Windows Store [1], Google Play [2], Amazon
Store [3], Apple Store [4], Chrome Web Store [5] and F-droid [6].

Sugarizer OS for Android is available in beta here [7].

Re: OSBuilder for 13.2.7

[Lionel Laské]

Hi James,

Just a follow up on this thread because I've got an issue customizing my
build.
I've changed the line:

[sugar_activity_group]

url=http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities

to:

[sugar_activity_group]

url=http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/G1G1

My objective is to include more activities.
I've got an issue at the end of the build (see message below).
It seams related to content (Biology here) included in Browse activity.

Is it still possible to use G1G1 group or should I mention and download
myself locally all activities ?

Best regards.

 Lionel.

OSBuilder for 13.2.7

[Lionel Laské]

Hi all,

I would like to generate OSBuilder for XO-4 to create my custom build on a
XO-4 using OLPC 13.2.7.
I've installed OLPC 13.2.7 on the XO-4 following instructions here [1].
I've installed os-build tool following instructions here [2].
But when I'm launching "make", I've got a message telling:

   make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'all'.

Could you confirm that the procedure described here [2] is compatible with
13.2.7 ?
If no, is there anyone that could help me to update the procedure ?
If yes, what this message means ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards from France.

 Lionel.

[Announcement] Sugarizer v0.7 is available for your device

[Lionel Laské]

Hi all,



I'm proud to announce the seven version (0.7) of Sugarizer, a taste of
Sugar for any device.



http://sugarizer.org



This version is mainly focus on activities, so you could find not less than
8 new/improved activities in this version:

   - Paint activity: this famous drawing activity include everything you
   could expect: change size, pen/fill color, a set of stamps, text font,
   templates, … Plus it's fully compliant with presence so multiple user could
   draw at the same time on different devices.
   - Memorize activity: play to the memory game with letters, sum or sounds
   or create your own memory game like you're doing today on Sugar. Here also,
   play with your friend through the network.
   - Calculate activity: a fully functional calculator with basic
   arithmetic operations but also trigonometry function, base handling and
   event graphical capacity.
   - Record activity: Once again a "must have" activity. From your browser,
   tablet or smartphone, take a picture, a video or audio and share it with
   your friends.
   - Physics activity: A JavaScript port of the famous Sugar Physics
   activity. Simulate effect of gravity using a set of forms (circle, square,
   triangle, …) and move your device to bring it the scene to life depending
   of the device orientation.
   - Labyrinth activity: Mindmap and organize your ideas with this web
   version of the Sugar Labyrinth activity. Format and change each item color,
   size or font and export it in a printable image.
   - KA View activity: Browse and play directly into Sugarizer more than
   500 of the famous Khan Academy videos in English, Spanish and French.
   - TurtleJS activity: Command without limit your Logo-inspired graphical
   "turtle" in this reinvented version of the famous TurtleArt activity.



As usual, Sugarizer 0.7 is available on your browser but also for your
Android or iOS device. Download it from : Google Play [1], Amazon Store
[2], Apple Store [3], Chrome Web Store [4], F-droid [5] and if you don't
like stores, you could also install it by yourself using instructions in
the Sugarizer readme file.



Sugar on any device is not the future, it's now ! Join us to spread the
world with Sugar !



   Lionel.



P.S.: Special thanks for their huge contribution on this version to Michaël
Ohayon (Paint, Memorize, Record and Calculate activities), Walter Bender

[Announcement] Sugarizer v0.6 is available for your device

[Lionel Laské]

Hi all,



I'm proud to announce the sixth version (0.6) of Sugarizer, a taste of
Sugar for any device.



http://sugarizer.org



Main features in this new version:

   - Neighborhood view and presence : Sugarizer now include the
   neighborhood view to allow users to see other users connected on the same
   server and share activities with them. Only one activity currently use this
   feature: Chat Prototype from Suraj. Launch the activity, share it, then
   your friend could join the chat whatever device they use. Note that the
   Sugarizer presence API need a Sugarizer server (remote or local). A default
   service is available on server.sugarizer.org
   - New TamTam Micro activity: Let children (re)discover the joy to play
   with the TamTam activity and hear more than 70 different sounds.
   - iOS support: Yes, Sugarizer is now available too on this devil but so
   popular platform. Launch the Apple Store, look for Sugarizer [1], download
   it and "voilà" Sugarizer is now ready to run on your iPad or your iPhone.
   - Chrome App support: Are you a fan of Chrome OS or are you just a
   Chrome user that don't want to waste time into complex install procedure ?
   That's right. With Sugarizer as Chrome App, Sugarizer is now one click far
   from your Chrome environment. Just go to the Chrome Web Store [2], download
   it and Sugarizer is ready to start with full features without impact on
   your work environment. And of course, it works on any platform where Chrome
   is available.
   - F-Droid support: F-Droid is the repository of Open Source applications
   for Android. No compromise: only open source applications - compiled from
   source - are allowed inside. Sugarizer had to be there.
   - Device integration: Sugarizer on any device don't mean bad integration
   with hosting device. In Sugarizer 0.6, Puneet show you in the Cordova
   activity (pick in from the List view) a Sugar Web developer could handle
   device features (accelerometer, camera, network, …) in its activity.



Of course for your Android and Firefox OS devices, Sugarizer 0.6 is
available too on all others app stores: Google Play, Amazon Store and
Firefox Market Place. And if you don't like stores, you could also install
it by yourself using instructions on the Sugarizer website.



Other features of Sugarizer 0.6:

   - Icon activity color in Journal and Home view now vary depending of
   last user color
   - An initialization screen let you set preference at startup
   - Sugarizer automatically detect language at first launch
   - server.sugarizer.org is now the default server
   - Igbo and Yoruba localization
   - Arabic localization (*)
   - Japanese localization (*)



Stop talking about Sugar future, let's write it with us ! All contributors
are welcome.



   Lionel.



P.S.: Special thanks for their contribution on this version to: Puneet Kaur
(Cordova activity), Martin Abente Lahaye (Spanish Localization), Bert
Freudenberg (Deutsch localization), Samson Goddy (Igbo and Yoruba
localization), Naji Boumzough, Varlyproject (Arabic localization), Naofum

XO Infinity ?

[Lionel Laské]

Hi all,

As some of you, I've seen: https://medium.com/road-to-infinity

Something that look like to a new XO concept with an Android OS proposed by
OLPC Australia. Just my guess.

Is someone have more information on this ?
Is it related to OLPC Foundation ?
Is it related to Sugar ?

Please share with us.

Lionel.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Fwd: French keyboard map for XO-4 non-membrane keyboard

[Lionel Laské]

Hi all,

Just a follow up on the "how to do a XO-4 non-membrane French keyboard".

I've finally designed the French non-membrane keyboard. The SVG file is
visible here [1]. Here [2] is the matching xmodmap file.
Then, I'm doing a xmodmap call in the .xsession file to launch it a startup.

xmodmap /etc/X11/french.xmodmap

The new .xsession file is here [3].
Finally, here [4] is the script to launch on each XO-4 to update it.
We plan to use it in our Saint-Ouen deployment at the north of Paris.

Hope it could help.

Lionel.

Re: Devel Digest, Vol 104, Issue 8

[Lionel Laské]

Hi John,

ARM processors are supported. I'm testing just now on a RaspberryPI B with
an ARM v6 with 256Mb. Sure 350 mhz is problematic because Sugarizer is
JavaScript so it need some performance.
BTW the main issue is to have a good HTML5 support and first versions of
Android browsers had very poor support of HTML5. I've tried with Galaxy Ace
without success.

Lionel.

Re: [Sugar-devel] [Announcement] Sugarizer v0.5 is available for your device

[Lionel Laské]

Hi Christian,

I'm sorry to say that neither OntoLab, neither Sugarfox (tm) has
contributed in anything to Sugarizer.
Sugarizer is a free open source software under Apache Licence thanks to
SugarLabs and all its contributors.
Regarding your own contribution in Sugarizer 0.5, it's limited to what's
described here: [1] (German localization).

[Announcement] Sugarizer v0.5 is available for your device

[Lionel Laské]

Hi all,



I'm proud to announce the fifth version (0.5) of Sugarizer, a taste of
Sugar for any device.



http://sugarizer.org



I've decided to put the focus on this version on three majors points:

   - Responsive Design: to ensure that Sugarizer could work on any screen
   size, from the smallest smartphone screen (320x480) to the bigger tablet
   screen (2560x1600).
   - Android support: I've done a huge work to ensure that Sugarizer and
   activities work well on Android so I've fixed lot of issues related to
   Android limitation. Of course due to diversity of the Android ecosystem,
   some issues could still exist on Android versions lower than 4.2.
   - Firefox OS support: Thanks to Mozilla foundation that help me on that,
   Firefox and Firefox OS are now #1 platforms for Sugarizer. Sugarizer has
   been tested successfully on Firefox browser and on several Firefox OS
   devices (Keon, Peak, Flame).



Finally, because it's very important for us that Sugar/Sugarizer could be
accessible to every users, I've packaged and published Sugarizer on three
major app stores:

   - Google Play:
   https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.olpc_france.sugarizer
   - Amazon Store: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NKK7PZA
   - Firefox Market Place: https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/sugarizer/
(soon)

Of course, you could also install it by yourself using instructions on the
Sugarizer website if you don't like stores.



Other features of this version:

   - Updated TurtleJS version, now save automatically context in the Journal
   - Updated Gears version, now use colors for gears
   - New Etoys activity (beta)
   - Favorites activities are now saved in user settings (so, could be
   retrieved from a device to another)
   - Favorites activities are now configurable at server settings
   - German localization



Do not hesitate to fork and contribute: I need you to Sugarize the world !

All contributors are welcome.



   Lionel.



P.S.: Special thanks for their contribution on this version to: Jorge
Alberto Gómez López (TurtleJS activity), Manuel Quiñones (Gears activity),
Bert Freudenberg (Etoys activity), Christian Stroetmann (German
localization), Jason Weathersby (Firefox OS support).

Re: [Sugar-devel] Error on Write activity: no module named abiword

I've no time now to upgrade to Sugar 0.102. I should deliver the image very
soon.

As a work around, I've done put a more recent version (94) of Write  in my

And good news: it perfectly works !

Sorry I don't have a public repository for the image but you can find my
updated .ini file here [1].

Thanks to all for your help.

Error on Write activity: no module named abiword

[Lionel Laské]

Hi all,

I've got an issue with Write 79 on XO 1.75 using a custom build based on
Sugar 0.98.7.
When I launch the activity, it don't start and write the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/sugar-activity", line 161, in 
main()
  File "/usr/bin/sugar-activity", line 119, in main
module = __import__(module_name)
  File "/home/olpc/Activities/Write.activity/AbiWordActivity.py", line 31,
in 
from abiword import Canvas
ImportError: No module named abiword
Exited with status 1, pid 1072 data (None, ', mode 'w'
at 0xc4ade0>, '6142fa1b96ff478628b102f9f18ca8f430ae180e')


Sound like "abiword" is not installed but when I'm doing "yum install
abiword", it tell me that the last abiword is already installed.

Any idea ?

Best regards from France.

Add Tuxmath and GCompris in a custom image for XO 1.75

[Lionel Laské]

Hi all,

I'm working on olpc-os-builder to write a custom image for XO 1.75.
I would like to insert Tuxmath and GCompris into the package.

Because the .XO package on Sugar store is not compatible with ARM, I need
first to install tuxmath and gcompris package using:

yum install gcompris
yum install tuxmath

Then install the Daniel launcher here [1][2].

Is there a way to do that with olpc-os-builder ? Do I need to use the
custom package feature [3] ?
Any advice is welcome.

Best regards from France.

Today the user ID is just... the object identifier in the MongoDB database.
So of course, it's not very user friendly.
I hope to have something better in a next version. To be honest I didn't
want to have a standard user/password to identify user. I thought to
something that could be reminded easily but didn't find the good idea.
If some of you have suggestion about that, you're welcome!

[Announcement] Sugarizer v0.4 is available

[Lionel Laské]

Hi all,



I'm proud to announce the fourth version (0.4) of Sugarizer, a taste of
Sugar for any device.



http://sugarizer.org



To remind you, Sugarizer reproduce main features of Sugar in
HTML5/JavaScript. Sugarizer also expose these features to allow running in
a browser Sugar Web activities wrote for Sugar 0.100+.

Sugarizer is available from a browser or as an Android application.



New in this version:

   - Three new activities:
  - Tank Operation: a Tuxmath like activity, practice math facts in an
  arcade game,
  - TurtleJS: a TurtleArt like activity. A taste of TurtleArt for any
  device !
  - ChatPrototype: see below.
   - Sugar compatibility: Sugarizer could now be used as a developer
   platform for Sugar-Web activity. So, developers could now develop Sugar
   activities only with a browser and a file editor. Resulting activities will
   work without any change on Sugar 0.100+.
   - Improve Journal view: rename, delete and popup menu.
   - Server collaboration: Sugarizer Server now allow each user to publish
   local journal content to the Server. Just go to the journal view and access
   to your private or to the shared journal zone. Plus, if you keep in mind
   your user id (in settings/server), you could use the same settings (name,
   color, language, private storage) from different computers.
   - Presence API prototype: Sugarizer include a first prototype of
   Presence API and a Chat test activity. You could chat with all other users
   on the same server.
   - Server connectivity to Client: The Android Client has capacity to
   connect to a Sugarizer Server. Just go to Server settings: check the
   connected checkbox and set your user id. You've now capacity to start your
   work on your PC then update it on your tablet !
   - Improved Android experience: Lot of issues related to Android
   environment has been solved.
   - API to server features: all server features are exposed as REST/JSON
   interfaces. So, developers could easily access to all server contents from
   any client (including, why not, the real Sugar journal).



Hope you'll enjoy it and you could say: "Yes, I want to Sugarize the world".

Do not hesitate to fork and contribute.



   Lionel.



P.S.: Thanks to Jorge (TurtleJS activity), Suraj (Presence and Chat
prototype), Ignacio (Spanish translation) for their contribution to this
version.

Very interesting.
Thanks to share and thanks to Terry for this detailed report.

[Lionel Laské]

Hi all,



I'm proud to announce the third version of Sugarizer, a taste of Sugar for
any device.



http://sugarizer.org



To remind you, Sugarizer reproduce main features of Sugar in
HTML5/JavaScript. Sugarizer also expose these features to allow running in
a browser Sugar Web activities wrote for Sugar 0.100.



New in this version:

   - Full support of filtering in home view, list view and journal,
   - Localization: English, French and Spanish - thank to Alan,
   - Full buddy menu,
   - Settings dialog for name, buddy color and language,
   - 4 new activities:
  - Maze from Manuel Quiñones: a port of the famous Sugar Maze game,
  - Gridpaint from Brian Silverman: a nice painting too with triangle,
  - FoodChain: a game to learn name of animals (French, English),

Re: gnome error on WebActivity in 12.1.0 custom

[Lionel Laské]

Solved myself using Browse version 140 instead of Browse version 129.
Browse 140 is the version used by OS Builder example .INI file for 12.1.0.
I retrieved the version in the OS Builder cache.
BTW I don't understand where this version come from:
- Latest Browse version mentioned on Sugar App store is 129 [1],
- Latest Browse version mentioned on Laptop.org G1G1 is 122.2 [2].

Do I miss something ?

RE: XO Boot time battle

[Lionel Laské]

 

 

> All are recently flashed?

 

@Alan and @ Yioryos

Here is the detail of config used :

-  XO 1.75 is on Q4C10 with 11.3.0

-  XO 1.5 is on Q3B22 with 11.3.0

-  XO 1.0 is on Q2E41 with 802 (it’s the config we’re using on our
Madagascar deployment)

 

> Did you compare the speed during other tasks? video recording/playing,
access to Internet, etc? 

 

@Claudia

We didn’t measure speed for other tasks but XO 1.75 seems really to do all
tasks more quickly than other XO versions.

Shutdown time is very quick too.

XO Boot time battle

[Lionel Laské]

 

Hi all,

 

Tuesday, at the monthly OLPC France meeting we made a comparison of the boot
time from XO 1.75, XO 1.5 and XO 1.0.

Have a look of the result on the video here:
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xnt5rw_xo-boot-battle_tech 

 

Best regards from France.

Due to SugarCamp and board change, September was a hard period for OLPC
France members. It's why this prototype was not used. Sorry for that.
But you're right we know that we're very lucky to have a prototype and it's
a responsibility to test it. So we should better plan in the future our
testing strategy.

BTW I'm guaranty that since I take it in our lending library two weeks ago,
it didn't had time to take dust :-)

RE: Can't upgrade to os883 official from XO 1.75

message?

+1

Here the full story of my test:
I first tried to flash the XO 1.75 using a USB Key with the XO 1.5 image.
When I saw the message (something like "Bad image size") I thought that the
XO 1.75 can't be flashed like a standard XO because it's a prototype.
It's why I tried the olpc-update online/offline instead, with no more luck
as you know.
When I've read the mail from Gonzalo talking about flashing the XO, I
understood my mistake so I've reload the right image and it finally works.

AFAK, we received this unit in September.

It was bricked so my first task was to fix it using a serial adapter
(http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XO_1.75_11089_Fix).

At boot, I discovered this Sugar version so decided to upgrade to the last
version.

Yes using

Olpc-update seems to be up to date. 
Updating bitfrost update it to "1.0.8-1.fc13" but it didn't work neither. 
FYI Sugar version was "0.88.0" build "19 customized"

BTW I finally reflash completely the XO
(http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_notes/11.3.0#XO-1.75) following Gonzalo
advice and it finally works.

To be honest my first attempt failed because I didn't see that XO 1.5 image
(that I had already downloaded) was different from the XO 1.75 image :-(

Thanks Martin and Gonzalo for your help.

Can't upgrade to os883 official from XO 1.75

[Lionel Laské]

Hi all,

Playing with the XO 1.75 B1, I'm trying to upgrade to os883 official.
I've got an error message (see below), both when I upgrading from an
USB key or online.
Sounds like a developer key missing. Do I need a developer key for an
official release on XO 1.75 ?
FYI I've just update to q4c10 firmware.

Thanks for your help.

Best regards from France.
