'''Trial-3 Release Info''' |
'''Trial-3 Release Info''' |
||
This info has been moved to the official trial-3 release notes:<br> |
|||
*Network connectivity |
|||
[http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Trial-3_Software_Release_Notes Trial-3 Release Notes] |
|||
** An XO that is acting as an MPP (mesh portal point) cannot participate in local mesh collaboration. There has been almost no testing for an XO acting as an MPP. |
|||
** To connect to a WEP enabled AP, you need to add '$:' in front of a hex key. |
|||
** Some activities share well in link-local; but don't share properly over the internet using the Jabber server. Activities that don't share well across the internet (G1G1) include Record photos and video (audio?), book reader, eToys, large files in Abiword may cause the activity to stop sharing. |
|||
* Connect to an Airport Extreme access point with a WEP key. |
|||
** You need to follow these steps when you login in the Airport configuration utility: |
|||
*# Choose a network security level of 40-bit or 128-bit WEP. |
|||
*# Set any password(you may tick the plain text option) and Update. |
|||
*# After the update login again and note the HEX password in the summary view. |
|||
** On the XO neighborhood view click the access point. |
|||
*# In the security popup type $:XXXXX, where XXXXX is the HEX password. |
|||
*# Choose the Shared Key option. |
|||
** If the AP changes or removes its WEP key, the XO will not realize it directly. You will need to |
|||
*# Remove /home/olpc/.sugar/default/nm/networks.cfg |
|||
*# Reboot |
|||
* Save photos |
|||
** Record has changed a lot, and as a result, old entries cannot be opened on the new build |
|||
** Follow these steps to save photos; unfortunately, videos will be lost. |
|||
*# Drag photos from record onto the clipboard. |
|||
*# Scroll over the clipboard images, and select "add to journal" |
|||
* Sharing an abiword document works well for text, but if you add too many images (large docs) don't share properly. |
|||
* Journal |
|||
** Items won't show up in the 'Anything' search until after the next reboot. |
|||
** 'This week' in the 'Anytime' search isn't working properly. {{ticket|4097}} |
|||
* Sugar |
|||
** The battery indicator on the home sugar page only updates when the power adapter is plugged in or removed. {{ticket|2861}} |
|||
** If the network neighborhood mesh view stops showing other laptops or access points, reboot sugar with CTL-ALT-ERASE |
|||
Transporting photos, audio, and video from Record to USB sticks (Clipboard objects don't work) |
|||
# Drag media to the clipboard |
|||
# The files will be automatically added to the journal (named Audio by {XO_name}, Video by {XO_name}, and Photo by {XO_name} |
|||
# Drag these files from the journal to the USB stick, and any other laptop will be able to see and open them. |
|||
#*If you add the clipboard objects to the journal, they will not save correctly. |
|||
#*These objects will be able to be opened with different activities, but if you transfer them to a USB, you will not see them. |
|||
#*Changing the names of the items in the journal will force them to create correct names and file extensions. |
|||
#*After changing the name, drag the item from the journal to the USB stick. |
|||
#*Now, a non-XO laptop will be able to see and open the items on the USB stick. |
|||
'''IMPORTANT''' (unless we are going to have people install the rpm's to use olpc-update instead of doing the upgrade with a USB stick) |
|||
* Update to latest firmware before updating to latest image. |
|||
** The new firmware (Q2C28 and later) will check that the image is not corrupt before installing it, whereas the old firmware will wipe the nand and then run into trouble trying to install the new image. |
|||
** Basically, using the new firmware will keep you safe from possibly losing your data due to a corrupt image. |
|||
'''New Features:''' |
|||
[[608-demo-notes|Demo notes of new features]] |
|||
Private Invitation: |
|||
# XO-1 starts an activity (such as abiword) |
|||
# From the neighborhood mesh view of XO-1, they find XO-2, who they want to share with. |
|||
# Hover over XO-2 and click on 'Invite'. This invites XO-2 to the current activity of XO-1 |
|||
# From XO-2's taskbar tray, they will now see an icon of the shared activity in the colors of XO-1 |
|||
# XO-2 clicks on this activity and it brings up the shared file. |
|||
Sharing a bookmark in Browse: |
|||
# Open the browser and go to a url of interest |
|||
# From the browse tab, click on the star in the upper right, next to the url window. This will create a bookmark |
|||
# Click on 'share with neighborhood' |
|||
# From another XO, click on the shared browse icon in the neighborhood mesh view |
|||
# You should get the same book mark after the browser starts up |
|||
'''Short Cut Keys:''' |
|||
* CTL-u: View source from a webpage with Abiword<nowiki>*</nowiki> |
|||
* CTL-n: From within Abiword, gives the full version of Abiword<nowiki>*</nowiki> |
|||
<nowiki>*</nowiki>NOTE: not debugged/doesn't work with journal, so maybe we shouldn't tell people about it. |
