The One Laptop Per Child project is now including a digital camera in the design of their "$100" laptop computer. According to their latest news, this device will record video at 30 fps and at VGA resolution. Also, the OLPC project is considering using content from WikiMedia, and video files at WikiMedia are stored in ogg theora format. Have folks involved in the OLPC project

As far as video playback is concerned, it seems to mostly come down to how the video is compressed - although Gnash (the open flash player) still has a ways to go to play flash media as well as the closed source flash players. For the Colingo activity and library, we've found it very difficult to find optimum settings for flash and instead have decided to go with Theora. We've managed to

Hi, I noticed some issues with the ssh transport mode where the virt-v2v would fail because of issue with libssh2. I see a lot of following errors before the conversion terminates: > commandrvf: /usr/sbin/update-initramfs -v -c -k 4.9.0-4-amd64 > read failed: would block (libssh2 error code: -37, sftp error code: 0) > /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs: 265: /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs: dirname: Exec

Hi, I heard that Theora will be used on OLPC. Is anyone working on optimization for OLPC? Regards, Chih-Chung Chang

Hello, I have a CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD and I'm trying to get nut to see it under OpenIndiana. All search online suggested that it basically can't happen, but I decided to ask again, maybe things have changed since then. The UPS can be seen by the system: # /usr/sbin/cfgadm -lv usb9/1.1 Ap_Id Receptacle Occupant Condition Information When Type

I think I have a slight problem with the new hookable plugins and the ini plugin. I haven't looked into it too much, but the plugins use an option to store their abi version. This value is stored so that when the cube/scale plugins are updated it will not be changed and things will not work. Do we need some sort of flag to tell ini not to save these options? I assume that it is OK for

There was recently a question on the R-help list about the eee pc. I had a related question about the XO laptop from OLPC (laptop.org). Has anyone looked at the development environment sufficiently to determine if it would be possible to create an executable image for R? The laptop itself only supports Python, Javascript, etc. but it is running a real Linux operating system.

Hi guys, My name is Adir. I'm a Google Summer of Code student, and in addition to that I will be working both with Xiph.org and with OLPC on optimizing Theora's performance. I'm in the list to get a shiny B4, but at the moment I can't do anything since sending the laptop to my place involves some difficulties. Until I get the laptop, I would like to hear from any of you, XO users

Oye 3 days on this now, my head hurts. I have spent what seems like 40 hours in the last 3 or 4 days reading, and I realize xen is in the middle of this transition of getting into mainline kernel, issues with dom0 etc etc. Ok, so i have come across a few howtos/tutorials on installing xen dom0 kernel, using git to download a patched? kernel tree, and getting xen source from mercurial. Below is my

Hi, people! Because XO-1 has a little "disk" space, it will be nice if the location of drive_c can be moved to a SD card. Here in Uruguay, we do not have root permissions in our XO-1. We log in as user olpc an can change permissions only in some directories. And can create links to files but not hard links to directories. The SD card is mounted in /media/label_of_sd_card. I appreciate

Hello, I would like to know if initrd is here to stay, now that klibc and initramfs are ready. As the multipath-tools maintainer, I'm facing the choice to 1) put the multipath configuration tool in the initrd * dynamic binary is possible * storage hba drivers as modules loaded * no klibc limitations (no mntent for libsysfs ...) 2) put the multipath configuration tool in the initramfs *

Hi, For the OLPC school server ("XS") we are planning to move from our dated F9 setup to CentOS 6.2. Thanks for all the effort involved in producing this distro. One important part of this project is a 'respin' of the install media - we need to add a handful of packages from external repositories, and maybe run a command late in the install. Are the scripts/configurations used

Hello Xapian Developers, I am writing with feedback on your Help Wanted listing at teachingopensource.org, specifically http://www.teachingopensource.org/index.php/Help_Wanted:_Xapian Overall, I think your project listing looks very well done. On your ideas page, you haven't done a lot to sell/market each idea. Why is development of this specific project going to improve Xapian overall? How

Hi. FYI, the proposed workaround in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=420754#5 helps solve the issue. I've patched /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions, then issued : mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-4-xen-686 2.6.18-4-xen-686 After that : the lib/ in the initrd image contains the libcrypt.so.1 lib ... As to know why sh needs libcrypt.so... it seems weird to me
