10.1.3/Testing
Contents
Introduction
This is a page where the testers are invited to gather their 10.1.3 testing results. We hope to find out more quickly possibly introduced regressions and get a sense of what works well. There are some tests where details about the hardware you used are of interest to us (e.g. Internet connection, USB2VGA). And of course, we hope it is fun for you to see a page like this grow!
Each 10.1.3 Feature has a section where you can comment. There are as well some more generic tests like connecting to the Internet and backwards compatibility tests. The last section has a list of bugs that we think are important to test.
Install testing environment
Follow the instructions at Release_notes/10.1.3#Installation.
10.1.3 Features
Sugar Ad-hoc networks
To mimic the mesh behavior on devices where mesh hardware is not available and make the "under a tree"-scenario possible the Sugar ad hoc networks have been added. The feature adds three default ad hoc networks, for channel 1, 6, and 11. They are represented with designated icons in the Neighborhood view.
Testing plans can be found in the 0.90 Feature page. Note: the icons are only visible on the XO-1.5 by design. You still can connect XO-1s and XO-1.5s with each other though, see the testing plans for how to do that.

How to write a good bug report
If you find new bugs please file them at http://dev.laptop.org.
You should note the following in the bug report:
- the version you are using
- steps to reproduce
In most cases it is of interest to the developers to look at the Sugar (shell.log) and/or the Activity logs (e.g. org.laptop.AbiWordActivity-1.log for the Write activity). The logs are placed in '/home/olpc/.sugar/default/logs'. You can view the logs using the Log activity as well.
