<td> Since this hasnt been updated for a while:<br>
Boots and runs OK. Doesn't seem to be a consistant way to close activities. Very slow without kqemu, still quite slow with kqemu. No sound. Network untested. If you have trouble with booting, give it at least 30 mins on first boot. Text is very small, but seems to be proper proportions if you select scaled from first menu. Redraw of graphics is very slow, animation on frame is so jerky it would be better for it not to animate. Screen drawing speed helped by setting video out to directx in the Qemu startup batch script. Screen res issue means bottom and right of the screen don't work in some activities (eg. tamtam)</td>

<td> Boots OK, but the sign-in screen does not let you select an image and therefore will not let you proceed. Apparently, the camera module imports OK but won't return a valid pixmap? Worked around it by commenting out the part of /usr/share/sugar/shell/intro/intro.py that tries to import the glive module. This gives a file button you can click to select an image, but it will not let you browse to files... I had to find an image filename in the system and manually type it in (/usr/share/icons/olpc/16x16/stock/emoticons/stock-smiley-1.png). This gets me past the opening screen to the sugar shell. Camera, abiword, memosono, and slideshow fail to launch. Blockparty, Groupchat, PenguinTV, etoys, web, and tamtam seem to work, although there is of course no sound in any application. Using yum to install the full version of vim fails due to lack of space in the image.</td>

Seems a little slower than running the same image under VMWare Player on Linux on an Athlon64 3200+, but this only really seems to affect boot speed. Looks nice! Unfortunately the default save location is "File System" which crashes AbiWord on saving, and loading files from the "OLPC" folder doesn't appear to work either (again apparent crash).</td>

<ul>
<li>Overall impression of Build 239: Sluggy but stable.</li>
<li>Hardware: Mouse pointer is quite difficult to position, jumps around quite often. Keyboard LED are mostly useless as they do not really light the keyboard. Maybe better to move them to top of screen as with Lenovo?</li>
<li>Camera activity: Cool. Seems though that you can only fill the picture bar with 8 pix, after that it FIFOs out, no arrows. Could be a problem when activity is shared with a few olpc and the bar fills fast.</li>
<li>Chat Activity: Hard to criticise with just one OLPC ;-)</li>
<li>Text Activity: Still supports too much non-open file formats. Word Doc is IMHO patent-encumbered. It should only support ODT, HTML and maybe RTF.</li>
<li>RSS Activity: Does not really work. Clicking on "Full entry" does not open the web page. Maybe I don't understand how it is supposed to work though.</li>
<li>eToys Activity: No time to play with it, takes ages to load.</li>
<li>Browser activity: I reconfigured fontsize to 8pt for fixed and 10pt for variable, now Slashdot.org looks acceptable. The tabbing feature really seems to be just a bokmark collection, correct?</li>
<li>Memory Activity: I liked the older version better, or more precise, my kids liked the older version better. The new version relies too much on color and is not really playable in transflective mode.</li>
<li>TamTam activity: Simply rocks.</li>

Build Name VMware Version System Info Description username
ship2 build 653 ext3 copied to 2 GB virtual disk VMware Workstation 6, Gentoo Linux host Athlon64 X2, 4GB RAM Everything seems to work, but I have not attempted any sound testing yet. I can download and install activities, see people via jabber.laptop.org, browse and read the RSS feeds. Today is actually the first time I've been able to get the RSS feed reader to work.

Apps work, except for abiword which just has a gray screen (same color as frame). No IP, but 'dhclient' fixes that. Changing 'onboot=yes' doesn't help. Got some kernel problems (IRQ4?) when starting vi/nano though, see http://rootshell.be/~ludoa/messages for my logfile & more info. Installed kqemu, modprobe'd it, but -kernel-kqemu gives a kernel panic, see rootshell.be/~ludoa/olpc_qemu_with_kqemu.png LudoA, 2007.01.06
build-193 20061203_1727 devel_ext3.img qemu 0.8.2 Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft - x86_64 Hangs on boot. Adding apm=off to kernel boot params in grub fixes this. It then boots Sugar (the UI), but no keyboard or mouse. CTRL-3 and then modprobe i8042 fixes this. Sugar works fine, but is quite slow. Also, no sound (even with qemu -soundhw all). Networking works fine. Will try to get qemu accelerator working in the future to improve performance. 2007.01.05
build-193 20061203_1727 devel_ext3.img qemu 0.8.2 (-std-vga) Ununtu 6.06 Boots into GUI, asks for nickname and then no keyboard or mouse. The modprobe i8042 trick did not work until I told qemu to use a standard vga output (-std-vga). Still pretty slow. I have tried to get networking or sound going yet. Jeff Waddell 2007.01.04
build-193 20061203_1727 devel_ext3.img qemu 0.8.1-1 (-soundhw all -hda) Debian etch (testing) Boots into GUI, but no keyboard or mouse before "modprobe i8042" several times (!) on the serial console (Ctrl-Alt-3). No networking or sound, slow.

stream-development-build-546-20070807_1928-devel_ext3.img Q 0.9.0 + Kqemu Intel Core 2 Duo, 1gb RAM, Windows XP Boots good, everything works good except noted broken stuff (camera, tomtom, etc). I've noticed that it will basically lockup if you run more than two or three activities at once. Also, the feed reader and journal are very system intensive. User:SPGWhistler August 12, 2007
OLPC Build 531 (devel_ext3) olpc-redhat-stream-development-devel_ext3.img qemu-0.9.0-windows, Kqemu-1.3.0pre11 AMD Sempron 2500, 256 MB RAM, Windows 2000 SP4 Booted ok. No keyboard, but mouse ok. The modprobe fix did not work. ctrl-alt-3 opened a terminal. ctrl-alt-1 showed the gui. ctrl-alt-2 showed the qemu monitor. Typing "sendkey ctrl-alt-f1" and "sendkey-ctr-alt-f7" in the monitor did nothing. I was able to login sending a special character with the mouse (right-click menu) as login name. Speed was ok, loaded write, paint and browse apps. Could not close apps, nor quit from the gui. laura_glow. Jul 23, 2007
olpc-redhat-stream-development-devel_ext3.img - build 511 qemu-0.9.0-windows Pentium 4 3.0GHz, 1Gb RAM, XP Pro SP2 Since this hasnt been updated for a while:
Boots and runs OK. Doesn't seem to be a consistant way to close activities. Very slow without kqemu, still quite slow with kqemu. No sound. Network untested. If you have trouble with booting, give it at least 30 mins on first boot. Text is very small, but seems to be proper proportions if you select scaled from first menu. Redraw of graphics is very slow, animation on frame is so jerky it would be better for it not to animate. Screen drawing speed helped by setting video out to directx in the Qemu startup batch script. Screen res issue means bottom and right of the screen don't work in some activities (eg. tamtam)		 --87.127.98.185 14:00, 17 July 2007 (EDT)

Apparently, the camera module imports OK but won't return a valid pixmap? Worked around it by commenting out the part of /usr/share/sugar/shell/intro/intro.py that tries to import the glive module. This gives a file button you can click to select an image, but it will not let you browse to files... I had to find an image filename in the system and manually type it in (/usr/share/icons/olpc/16x16/stock/emoticons/stock-smiley-1.png). This gets me past the opening screen to the sugar shell. Camera, abiword, memosono, and slideshow fail to launch. Blockparty, Groupchat, PenguinTV, etoys, web, and tamtam seem to work, although there is of course no sound in any application. Using yum to install the full version of vim fails due to lack of space in the image. —Leejc 00:13, 1 March 2007 (EST)

Seems a little slower than running the same image under VMWare Player on Linux on an Athlon64 3200+, but this only really seems to affect boot speed. Looks nice! Unfortunately the default save location is "File System" which crashes AbiWord on saving, and loading files from the "OLPC" folder doesn't appear to work either (again apparent crash). --RP 16:34, 31 January 2007 (CST)

Network worked fine after applying the documented fix. However, after getting the network running, experienced the same problem below with repeated '1's appearing in an input text field (actually Google's search field) immediately afterwards. The system's speed is a little slower than what normally might be expected, but not too bad. No problems starting/using applications (I'm editing this page using the emulator!) --Dox 04:45, 15 January 2007 (EST)

Slightly slow and the frame kept popping up at inconvenient points. Also after fixing keyboard issue and after enabling network access the first textbox I entered began to fill up with the character 1 and did not stop until I pressed something else on the keyboard.

update.1-703 C1 XO-1 (G1G1) Only the activities I had installed previously (xo-get, etc.) were available. None of the standard activities were there. After rebooting into update.1-691 using the o game button, browser would not start. I reinstalled update.1-691 and it's working again. Tried installing both candidate-703 and update.1-703 with the same results.

Update: My fault--you must install the activities separately in this release and above.		 chelliot
update.1-690 (w/ Q2D12 firmware) C1 XO-1 (G1G1) Seem solid. Definitely faster and more responsive than 65x(ship.2). Wireless seems to have a little trouble after waking up from sleep after being asleep for a while, but this is easily fixed by just reselecting the access point. Laptop seems to suspend itself often which is annoying, especially for the record activity. Battery life is much improved. Looking forward to the GM. darco
656 G1G1 XO-1 This is the first update I've attempted since receiving my laptop back in December, I needed to update olpc-update first and then ran it to get this version. It crapped out at the end with the error "New build not signed won't boot without a developer key" Chuck
656 G1G1 xo -1 Power management / sleep function seems not to work as well as in 653. I regularly run out of battery power, which did not happen in 653. Lesley

Build 649 with Firmware Q2D04 B4 laptop with FIrmware Q2D04 Sugar and most activities running much faster and better than earlier builds. Still some problems with WEP keys being forgotten. Sound and camera working well. Journal activity can freeze up for minutes at a time if large .xo files have been downloaded in Browse activity. --Tomhannen 10:45, 6 December 2007 (EST)Tomhannen
Running Build 623 e Firmware Q2D03 (stable from C-Machines) on B2-2 OLPC laptop. B2-7-EX XO Running ok and very stable. The keyboard with little change and battery charge monitor with impressisions, but the other functions more speed and stable. The install upgrade very simple too.

Running Build 231 on two OLPC laptops. No way to show camera in full-screen mode. This feature should be re-instated. Instead the new screen capture feature works but causes the captured shots to be almost illegible - colours run.
Network Neighbourhood - Group Chat works fine but have not had ANY success sharing any other activity. Perhaps this is not yet developed ?
Quite stable - has never crashed but performance is very very slow.		 David Chatterton 14 Jan 2007
Build 239_B21 on OLPC B-1 B-1 Hardware
  • Overall impression of Build 239: Sluggy but stable.
  • Hardware: Mouse pointer is quite difficult to position, jumps around quite often. Keyboard LED are mostly useless as they do not really light the keyboard. Maybe better to move them to top of screen as with Lenovo?
  • Camera activity: Cool. Seems though that you can only fill the picture bar with 8 pix, after that it FIFOs out, no arrows. Could be a problem when activity is shared with a few olpc and the bar fills fast.
  • Chat Activity: Hard to criticise with just one OLPC ;-)
  • Text Activity: Still supports too much non-open file formats. Word Doc is IMHO patent-encumbered. It should only support ODT, HTML and maybe RTF.
  • RSS Activity: Does not really work. Clicking on "Full entry" does not open the web page. Maybe I don't understand how it is supposed to work though.
  • eToys Activity: No time to play with it, takes ages to load.
  • Browser activity: I reconfigured fontsize to 8pt for fixed and 10pt for variable, now Slashdot.org looks acceptable. The tabbing feature really seems to be just a bokmark collection, correct?
  • Memory Activity: I liked the older version better, or more precise, my kids liked the older version better. The new version relies too much on color and is not really playable in transflective mode.
  • TamTam activity: Simply rocks.

Joyride 1489 devel_jffs2 G1G1 system Dec2007 updated to Q2D07 firmware
  • Marvellous update with some issues
  • root password was unknown after the update limiting my options
  • A couple of lockups (maybe just long lag time) using activities
  • Power saving mode is a step in the right direction. Still a bit buggy though, but I've never encountered power saving modes on other kinds of laptops that actually work anyway.
  • Screen brightness jumps around from high to low and even low to high. This seems to occur at random times.

Joyride 1522 devel_jffs2 G1G1 system Dec2007 updated to Q2D08 firmware
  • A good build; I'd recommend upgrading to it
  • Wireless works
  • Newsreader app won't save feeds, possibly due to isolation
  • Suspend when on battery, resume when on AC seems to get things into a suspend/resume loop that is hard to get out of - but pressing the power button at just the right time in that loop seems to stop it (the loop) and unsuspend OK.
