Use live-iso-to-disk for persistent Workstation USB

4 GB USB

dnf install hexchat
this shows that this is a persistent USB as Hexchat appears on command from terminal after reboot

livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 1000 --home-size-mb 800 --delete-home --unencrypted-home Fedora-SoaS-Live-x86_64-29-1.2.iso /dev/sdb1

8 GB USB

• Persistent Changes after reboot

Added/removed apps to favorites

Changed background

Installed HexChat from gnome-software

NOTE do not use install to disk from pop-up on reboot of USB

(x) USB must have: fat format & boot flag

(x) CAUTION use "mount" (in terminal) to get correct name for USB (/dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdd etc)

Getting set up on IRC

Copied from Google_Code_In_2018/background#Getting_set_up_on_IRC

We use IRC for much of our communication. Unfortunate, Freenode, our IRC server, has been under attack by trolls of late, so we have had to lock down our channels. Therefore, you'll need to create a "registered account" to login. (You can use an IRC client or open https://webchat.freenode.net in a browser.)

To register on Freenode:

/msg NickServ REGISTER password youremail@example.com

(Filling in your email and password)

Leave the window open if possible.

You will get an email that includes a command you'll need to type in to complete your registration. (It may take a while for the email to arrive.)

Go back to the open IRC window and paste in the verification line from the email you received in the bottom space.

If you have closed the IRC window, you will need to reopen it.

Once you are registered, you may join the #sugar channel:

/join #sugar

When you reconnect at a later date, you may have to:

/msg NickServ identify your-password

Please contact walter @ sugarlabs . org if you have any questions.

logon to soas irc app

1. use another irc app (Hexchat) in workstation or Mate (see links below) to register your nickname

in mate or workstation terminal "dnf groupinstall sugar-desktop-environment" log into sugar at login

#Fedora for (Autojoin Channels)

use "set irc_connect_delay 15" for (connect commands) in Hexchat

1. /msg NickServ REGISTER password youremail@example.com
2. look at e-mail in workstation or mate desktop and reply
3. start soas irc as registered user
4. /join #pidora (pidora allows commands and name ((nick)) changes)
5. /msg nickserv identify (your primary nick) (password)
6. change nick to (your primary nick)
7. /join #sugar

You should be allowed to talk

Important

tested Beta:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/29/Spins

"Greetings. Per this fesco ticket: https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/1714 I have created the Fedora 28 spins/labs page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/28/Spins All spin maintainers/owners/interested parties should test their spins and at least update this wiki page with beta/final testing. Spins that don't have at least one tester at Beta may be dropped and not shipped in Final, so PLEASE make sure at least someone tests. Spin maintainers are also encouraged to test their spin more often and make sure it's composing correctly every day for Branched f28 and rawhide. Thanks, kevin."
