==Just some schmoe==
Me: Just a shmoe who's occasionally invested in this thang.

By day, I am a programmer for the [http://research.gallaudet.edu/ Gallaudet Research Institute] at [http://www.gallaudet.edu Gallaudet University]. By night (and weekends) I don my costume--which looks remarkably like the jeans and T-shirts I wear to work every day--and do battle with the forces of proprietary closed-source software as the nominal and often semi-reluctant "team contact" for the [http://dc.ubuntu-us.org/ Ubuntu DC LoCo] in Washington, DC. I am also one of three hosts for the monthly meetings of the soon-to-be-renamed [http://olpclearningclub.org/ OLPC Learning Club DC].

We're now a [[Local Labs|Local Lab]], and several people are working on the TimeLapse Activity. There has also been recent discussion regarding involvement in a Video Chat Activity.

'''Note:''' Should you happen to wander into this page, I am trying to establish connections between cow-orkers at Gallaudet who have a vested interest in develoment of deaf communities overseas, and affordable, open-source technologies.

== Encrypted File System ==
Beware "apt-get upgrade". I was running Sugar / Toast (I THINK it's 2.1-i386) and tried to add '''Measure Activity'''. No luck. So I tried:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

which appeared to proceed as it does on my Ubuntu systems without any problems. However, upon rebooting, I now get '''Your session only lasted 10 seconds...''' and it brings me to a login screen.

I browsed through '''/var/log/syslog''' think I tracked the problem to:

Error attempting to open [/home/trisquel/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase] for reading
Error attempting to unwrap passphrase from file [/home/trisquel/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase]; rc = [-5]
Error adding passphrase key token to user session keyring; rc = [-5]

Having never used encrypted file systems, I have no idea what it's going on about. This may tell you what version I was running:

Will the process described for creating SOAS work if the Fedora system used to make the stick/SD is an XO running OLPC build 8.2?
:Haven't tried it, but in theory it should work, unless there is an F9 issue I am unaware of. You'll likely need external storage for the .iso image as well as the target USB. If you try it, please report back here. --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 00:31, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
:I"m doing the yum install right now... seems to work, but it is pulling in 17K worth of rpms, including Perl... --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 00:40, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Would '''mtd-utils''' also be known as '''mtd-tools'''? Under Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) there appears to be no mtd-utils but there is an mtd-tools. --[[User:KevinCole|Kevin Cole]] 10:41, 20 Mar 2009 (EST)
:no se, but [http://packages.debian.org/stable/utils/mtd-tools] would suggest that it is. --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 15:18, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
:You're too quick, sir (or I'm too slow). After answering e-mails, etc, I investigated. It is indeed the same beastie: Under [http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid-updates/utils/mtd-tools 8.10 (Intrepid)] it is known as '''mtd-utils'''. However, under [http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/mtd-tools Hardy (and earlier releases)] it is known as '''mdt-tools'''.

Me: Just a shmoe who's occasionally invested in this thang.

By day, I am a programmer for the Gallaudet Research Institute at Gallaudet University. By night (and weekends) I don my costume--which looks remarkably like the jeans and T-shirts I wear to work every day--and do battle with the forces of proprietary closed-source software as the
nominal and often semi-reluctant "team contact" for the Ubuntu DC LoCo in Washington, DC. I am also one of three hosts for the monthly meetings of the soon-to-be-renamed "OLPC Learning Club DC". In fact, the core group is meeting tonight (2009-03-20) to discuss becoming a SugarLabs Local Lab.

==Connections wanted==
'''Note:''' Should you happen to wander into this page, I am trying to establish connections between cow-orkers at Gallaudet who have a vested interest in develoment of deaf communities overseas, and affordable, open-source technologies. My colleagues are more the deaf education / foreign languages / social work sorts, and claim ignorance of technology but want to add a tech component to their work. They are developing General Studies Requirements (GSR) cross-disciplinary classes that will send students to Costa Rica, and possibly to the [http://www.bueaschdeaf.org/ Buea School for the Deaf] in Cameroun. Right now, I'm trying to connect the them with both [http://laptop.org/en/participate/get-involved/OLPCorps.shtml OLPCorps Africa] and the [http://sokolo.cronopios.org/ local Linux community] in nearby Limbe, Cameroun.
