olpc-update -rv <version-number>
ex.: olpc-update -rv 653
1. When the process is complete, the XO restarts and the update is complete.
Tips
If you cannot connect to the Internet with your XO, you can still update by connecting to the Internet
from another computer and downloading the latest image from http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OS_images.
Copy the image files to your USB device. Insert your USB device into your XO. Launch the Terminal
Activity and type:
olpc-update --usb
If your new software does not seem to work correctly, you can revert to the older version by holding
down the O key on the game pad (between the right speaker and the power button) when you next
turn on the XO.
If you are upgrading because you have a version that does not support WiFi Protected Access
(WPA) but that is your home Internet connection, you might want to access public wireless to
connect to the Internet for an online upgrade, such as at a T-Mobile hotspot or a local libary.
This process may take more than 30 minutes.
As of build 703, which should be available in April 2008, you must install Activities separately from
the Sugar operating system. If you update to build 703, refer to the Release Notes on
wiki.laptop.org for more information: Update.1 release notes.
Maintenance updates to the XO software
Periodically, such as every month or so, you can update the XO's system files without doing a complete
update as described above.
1. Connect to the Internet.
2. Open the Terminal Activity.
3. Log in as a root super user by typing:
su -l
and then press enter.
1. Run a yum update by typing
yum - y update
and then press enter.
