Test case: olpc-update
How to report results

Stream Any
Category Boot Sub-category olpc-update
Component warning.pngEmpty strings are not accepted.
Feature warning.pngEmpty strings are not accepted.
Objective From the terminal upgrade your XO using the olpc-update feature.
Tools XO unit, internet connection
Setup warning.pngEmpty strings are not accepted.
Procedure
  1. Plug the XO into an electrical outlet
  2. Connect to the internet. If you are upgrading because you have a WPA hotspot at home, you might want to go to a Public Hotspot to connect to the internet for an online upgrade, such as a T-Mobile hotspot or a local libary.
    Firewall note: olpc-upgrade requires outgoing TCP PORT:873 to be unfiltered by the hotspot's firewall. In otherwords if the laptop has functional-access to the internet but olpc-upgrade returns the message "I don't think you're connected to the internet." check the hotspot's firewall is not blocking the outgoing TCP Port 873.
  3. Open the Terminal Activity or a console and type the following (press the Enter key after it):

From build 703 or later use the sudo command as described here. For earlier builds, see the note below. 

sudo olpc-update build-number

For example: 

 sudo olpc-update 711

Or for testing a new build: 

 sudo olpc-update 8.2-760

Where

  • build-number is the number of the build to be updated to.

Note: sudo does not work with some builds which require a password until you become "root". You can become "root" by pressing the "#_" icon at the top of the terminal screen. In builds earlier than 703 you may need to type "su -l" (note it's lower case "L" not the number "1") and then "olpc-update build-number" instead.

Expected Results
and Pass Criteria 		olpc-update is designed to work with even the worst internet connections, and will do no harm if it is interrupted during download. If you don't like your new software update, 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 the laptop on.
