This is unfortunate. I couldn't find a ticket for that, so I've raised #11955. > I wanted to try an upgrade using OLPC's simple offline update[1], but > the download directory > http://download.laptop.org/xo-1/os/candidate/12.1.0-14/ lacks a > 21014o0.usb file.

The .usb file should be included in the next build, now that Daniel has enabled the [usb_update] setting: http://dev.laptop.org/git/projects/olpc-os-builder/commit/?id=252aa2a3c2859e2677e05675f7eaff2b5b430e54 But due to #11946, there might be a problem using it. > I had nothing important on the XO so I can just do a fresh install of > 12.1.0, but if someone else is able to try an XO-1 online update from > a fresh-ish 11.3.0 to 12.1.0 and has similar problems I think the > release notes could usefully caution "You will *not* be able to update > an XO-1 running 11.3.x unless you delete material from the standard > installation so that you have over NNN MB free". Agreed. Changed. Let me know how much you need free. > Also, after a failed olpc-update, is there a guide to where the cruft > I can remove is?

Is it safe to remove the contents of > /versions/updates? Yes, but olpc-update will just download it again. Better is to free up space and repeat olpc-update. Already downloaded data will be kept. The combined size may be larger because of the use of hard links between files that have not changed. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ _______________________________________________ Testing mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/testing
