Hello,
a coworker got an old XO-1 and asked me to refurbish it for his kids. So
I asked him to test OLPC-OS 12.1.0 build 11 and report any problems he
ran into. New users can offer a fresh perspective on things that we give
for granted.
Some of the items below could be turned into trac tickets or
Personally, I would vote for a Ubiquiti Nanostation or similar
PoE based client over USB based ones.

OK. I'll try to get an ext usb wlan with a long ca
You can achieve a significant gain by making the antenna higher,
especially if you need to get past anything in the fresnel zone, such
as the masts of other boats or restaurant windows. By moving the
antenna higher, you will also reduce the fresnel effect of the nearby
water between you and the ac

Hi Chris,
I think it is all abandonware except for the "content" part. That is
possibly now part of olpc-utils . With the local deployment keys feature,
the "localization" needs to be deeper -- not just a string.
Maybe it should be a request for an OOB module -- similar to how we replace
the "lib
I am expecting to take a brief holiday out in the sea. Many bays with
anchorage also have bars and restaurants with open wifi. I prefer to enjoy
breakfast on board... and get my interweb fix from afar.
Is there any directional wlan antenna kit or setup that is practical with
an XO?
Maybe somethin
OLPC OS 12.1.0 is looking good! I noticed that en_US and en_AU are
available. We have our language fallbacks set to en_AU;en_GB;en_US to
overcome the lack of strings in en_AU. Would it be possible to have
en_GB included by default as well?
Thanks,

Since 792c7dd3 powerd stays asleep by default while the lid is
closed. That's important for some use cases (putting suspended laptops
inside a charging rack), but breaks config_SLEEP_WHEN_LID_CLOSED=false
unless the new configuration option config_WAKE_WHEN_LID_OPEN has been
explicitly set to true
Done

This is not related to a specific XO but rather the battery itself.
How are you measuring the loss?
What happens if the battery is no
