[Sugar-devel] [ANNOUNCE] 0.84 Activity Release Notes
Dear Activity Maintainers, for the 0.84 Release notes I need your help. It would be awesome to get detailed notes for each activity. Definitely the Fructose ones - as well the Honey activities are welcome. Please use the Template [1] to create a page and link it appropriately at [2]. The template contains comments for each section. As an example you can look at the Browse release notes [3] as well. Deadline: Friday, March 13th as our big Marketing Press campaign will start the 16th of March. Of course, the sooner this gets in the better, as it will be a starting point for the FLOSS Manual efforts as well.

[Sugar-devel] instructions for flashing SoaS on a XO
Hi, below are some instructions for flashing the last Sugar on a Stick image (containing Sugar 0.84) on a XO (provided you have a developer key). Could someone volunteer to test and wikify them? Thanks, Tomeu --- on a F10 system: $ sudo yum -y install crcimage mtd-utils $ wget http://dev.laptop.org/~cjb/rawhide-xo/livecd-iso-to-xo.sh $ wget http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/snapshots/1/Soas-200903051021.iso $ sudo sh livecd-iso-to-xo.sh Soas-200903051021.iso Soas-200903051021.img and then copy Soas-200903051021.img and Soas-200903051021.crc to a usb stick on the XO, boot with the usb stick plugged in and get into OFW, then type the following commands ok disable-security ok copy-nand u:\Soas-200903051021.img then the XO will reboot and you should get into Sugar. ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

[Sugar-devel] [SoaS-2] Feature Complete? Another Snapshot.
Hi folks, there's another snapshot of soas-2 ready for testing! There will be another snapshot on this Sunday to have an up2date image for bug triaging sessions. It's really important for us to get as much feedback as possible in this state of soas-2, since we'd like to get a release rolled out soonish and should have all blockers fixed beforehand, right? http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/snapshots/2/Soas2-200903061846.iso Now what's new here? * Nearly every Sugar-related package has been updated! Thanks to all the maintainers for making this possible... :) * You can now enjoy builds of Read and EToys - cool, heh? * The image has been slimmed down again, we had a lot of redundant KDE stuff in there. For now just 270 MB! * Anaconda has been included - you might want to check Kushal's instructions for installing SoaS here: [1] * As already mentioned, from now on, all images will contain the SoaS version number to avoid confusion. Please be aware of the fact that this is still based on pre-beta software - namely Fedora 11 - which has an upcoming beta freeze scheduled for March 10. Finally, if you've another activity, package or feature to suggest, please do so immediately here [3]!

Re: [Sugar-devel] instructions for flashing SoaS on a XO
Glad to hear it works, I'm going to try it this weekend on my XO. I wonder if we could get the release team to execute these steps automatically for each release, and then make .img files available on downloads.sugarlabs.org along with the .iso files? That would skip a lot of potential mistakes that users might make, and would lower the barrier to entry (e.g. no Fedora or Ubuntu machine req). The same goes for .vmdk files, I would love to have .vmdk files created using http://sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick_VirtualBox/Preparing_a_disk_image available for each snapshot.

I just tried this on an Intel Classmate 3 (2goPC) with Windows XP Home. Booting from a Kingston DataTraveler 2GB USB drive gets through the Fedora progress bar. Screen goes black and stalls with this line in upper left and a blinking underscore cursor on the next line: r8169 :02:00.0 PCI INT A disabled _ I will test on the Asus EeePC 701, Classmate 2 and a UMPC tomorrow.
