=== candidate-801 ===
<tt>sudo olpc-update candidate-801</tt> from candidate-800 worked fine for me. -- [[User:Skierpage|skierpage]] 04:45, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

=== candidate-800 ===
<tt>sudo olpc-update candidate-800</tt> from build 767 worked fine for me. Wireless connectivity to my old Linksys BEFW11 router with 128-bit WEP worked OK, but I still am disconnected for a while after resuming from standby until the XO gives up on mesh. -- [[User:Skierpage|skierpage]] 2009-01-26

=== [http://xs-dev.laptop.org/~cscott/xo-1/streams/staging/build7/devel_jffs2/ olpc-update staging-7] ===
Passed smoke test by Bpepple. Booted and tried by Reuben and Kim. <br>
Cursor control problems reported but not proved worse or better than before.

Booted and tried briefly by iXo . Unable to connect to either WEP or WPA access points. Some errors during on console during bootup, mostly to do with JFFS and xauth. Will investigate further in next few days. (Contact via email, or post on User Talk page. --[[User:Ixo|ixo]] 07:52, 5 January 2009 (UTC) )

== [http://pilgrim.laptop.org/~pilgrim/olpc/streams/8.2/ 8.2 builds] ==
=== Build 8.2-767 (candidate release) ===
====Startup/Upgrade====
* Updated from 711 through olpc-update.
* Boot up is a tad slower than 711, but otherwise, upgrade and boot up are flawless.

====Network and mesh====
* Activities updated successfully and internet connection successful. Still have not tested a Mesh with multiple XOs

====Programs and other stuff====
* Ran through the 1-Hour Smoke Test:
* Log Viewer Activity did not function at all. It will not open period.
* All other applications and features functioned as expected.
* One time it did not shut down properly (Stayed on until the battery died!) but I have not had any problems since then.
* Several other applications downloaded off the Wiki and installed on the XO through USB:
* SimCity hangs after exiting. All other applications I tested worked correctly.
* "shutdown -r" command does not properly shutdown XO. Regular shutdown methods still function (Mostly).

=== Build 8.2-766 (candidate release) ===

First portion of 1-hour smoke tests (starting from the top of the list and going down through/including "installing library bundle") pass. AFAIK other smoke tests (run by Joe, Frances, and Kim) passed as well. [[User:Mchua|Mchua]] 13:36, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

=== Build 8.2-763 (candidate release) ===

[http://dev.laptop.org/~rwh/announcer/release8.2-pkgs.html Changelog]

'''Install'''
* I did a cleaninstall on one laptop and an olpc-update (from 760) on another. Both upgrades completed and the laptops booted up.
* The activity updater launched and got the latest activities from /Activities/G1G1/8.2.0, but did not pull down the content or collections. [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/8493 #8493], marked as a blocking bug for 8.2
* NOTE: After changes to the wiki page, the content is also getting updated properly.


'''Activities'''
* [http://dev.laptop.org/~bert/joyride-pkgs.html Changelog info]
* Started many activities and tested for basic funcationality. Results are now being logged in the test restults page: [[TestResults_8.2.0]]


'''Collaboration'''
=Update.1 Builds =
* This build has now been loaded onto the 30 laptop test bed and a number of smaller testbeds. All standard collaboration continues to work as in the last release.
* Simple mesh collaborates, connection to an AP, and connection/registration to a school server -- no regressions.


== Build 708 Q2D16 ([[8.1.1]] RC1) ==
=== Build 8.2-760 ===

* changelog?

'''Startup/upgrade'''
* I upgraded some laptops from 759 to 760 via olpc-update. The upgrade was followed by the activity update, which completed without problems (about 6 laptops). Additionally, Joe, Mel and Frances upgraded 39 laptops without any problem.
* I upgraded via cleaninstall on 3 laptops. The machines booted and the activity update completed without problems.

'''Network/connectivity'''
* Connected to open and WEP access points.
* When connected to WEP AP, my two laptops at home also saw each other.
* I turned the radio off on one laptop and the other's neighborhood view continued to show the XO even the next morning...[http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/8441 #8441]. After turning the radio back on, the two neighborhood views won't sync up again. They can't see each other to share any new activities.
* After a while I tried to share write and they were able to see the write doc.

'''Activities'''
* Chat, Write, Record (video, still, and voice), Pippy, Tamtam jam, Browse all started and performed as expected.
* Browse shows no Library content! [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/8493 #8493]

[[User:Kimquirk|Kimquirk]] 12:30, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

'''Ethernet connection'''
* My D-Link DUB-E100 USB Ethernet adapter does not work with this build. No connection.

'''Collaboration'''
* 29 laptops connected to a school server and running Chat, Browse and (in the case of 3 laptops) also Write survived the overnight collaboration.
* 5 out of 10 laptops on the mesh network running Chat and Record (in the Photo mode) stopped collaborating after the overnight run. 3 of those laptops were also running Write; in one of the 'invited' laptops Write disappeared by the morning; the laptop itself was still operational; other two laptops still running Write stopped collaborating.

=== Build 8.2-759 ===
[http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2008-September/018843.html ChangeLog]

==== Activities ====

: '''Etoys:''' Saving fails if project name has non-ascii characters <trac>8212</trac>

==== Screen pulsing, out-of-memory ====
Twice with 8.2-759 my G1G1 machine has had the screen flash on and off coming out of a "standby" (screen off) state. The second time seemed a memory pressure state, I typed some memory commands at random and saved the output at [[User:Skierpage/out-of-memory]] -- [[User:Skierpage|Skierpage]] 23:41, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

=== Build 8.2-757 ===
[[Changelog_757]]

==== Connectivity test results ====
* 40+ laptops were upgraded with olpc-update 8.2-757; some with copy-nand of the os757.img; some with olpc-update 8.2-757.
* Laptops booted up properly, but some of them required reinstallation of the build.
* Connected to simple mesh 11 (all mesh circles are showing again in this release!), some of the laptops left and rejoined the mesh periodically.
* Connected properly to School Server AP (open, no encryption)
* Upgraded many activities well through activity updater (some activities had to try twice)
* Connected to canopy (WPA), and olpc (WEP) APs and browsed the web correctly.
* Ran Chat, Browse and Write sharing on laptops connected to a school server. Out of 30+ laptops, only two couldn't see the Write's icon in the "Group" view. Other machine happily shared those activities.
* Ran Chat and Write sharing on 10 laptops connected to over the simple mesh. Sugar suddenly restarted in several laptops already sharing Write, when one of other laptops joined sharing the Write. After sharing of Chat and Wtite was restored, laptops starting behaving properly.

==== olpc-update ====
Running <tt>olpc-update 8.2-757</tt> to update from joyride-2301:
* Always reports <tt> Contents manifest failure at line 383 Last file examined: localtime</tt> when <tt>Trying irsync_pristine</tt>. This happens to many upgraders, filed <trac>8190</trac> for investigation.
* Then X always restarts in <tt>Trying irsync_dirty</tt>, probably <trac>5954</trac> "oom-killer during olpc-update". A workaround may be to NOT run the command in [[Terminal Activity]], but instead in a [[console]], possibly in the background.
-- [[User:Skierpage|Skierpage]] 06:52, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

* Updates worked pretty well on 32 laptops, some had to be initiated several times; but once they were up they all connected to the Zoom AP, and registered with the school server.
* Some laptops were clean-installed as well. One had to be rebooted as the wireless didn't come the first time.
* All 32 laptops are connected to AP to a school server. Chat was started on one laptop and shared with all the others. Browse was started on one laptop and bookmarks were shared across many laptops. The next morning they were ALL still running (no crashes, no sugar reboots, chat and browse still active); and the chat continued to work across all machines.
* On many machines in the neighborhood view, the circle of XOs around the shared activity disappeared. The shared activity is still there and others can still join it: <trac>8184</trac>.
[[User:Kimquirk|Kimquirk]] 15:37, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

==== Activities ====

: '''Record-57:''' Only a single frame appears on the screen. Attempt to take a photo causes the busy mouse to appear for a long time (forever?). Shall I file a bug? [[User:Jpritikin|Jpritikin]] 16:19, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

(based on joyride 2324)

'''XOs being used for this testing are running the following:'''
: '''Build:''' 756
: '''Firmware:''' Q2E14
: '''Libertas:''' test version of 5.110.22.p18 (0.0.0.p18)

'''Connectivity'''
: At boot up after a cleaninstall the MP laptop defaulted to 'Channel 11'; but there are no simple mesh channels showing in the network neighborhood. Also, my two B4 laptops got no WLAN connection at all after boot up. You can click on an infrastructure AP, though. <trac>8133</trac>
: Two laptops near each other but connected to an AP to the internet can no longer see each other. <trac>7972</trac>

=== Build joyride-2301 ===
'''XOs being used for the initial test were running the following:'''
: '''Build:''' Joyride-2301
: '''Firmware:''' CL1 Q2E12 Q2E
: '''Libertas:''' 5.110.22.p17

'''XOs being used for the initial test were connected to the internet through School Wifi.'''
: '''Telepathy:''' gabble
: '''Jabber:''' schoolserver.media.mit.edu
: '''essid:''' media lab 802.11
: '''Channel:''' 11

'''Activities:'''
: Same results as 2294.

'''Miscellaneous:'''
: The main difference between joyride-2301 and joyride-2294 is that 2301 has had the automatic idle-suspend defaulted to OFF. If you need to or want to test how idle-suspend may or may not break things, use the following commands in a virtual terminal to turn it on or off as needed.
: To disable idle-suspend, type the following: <tt>touch /etc/ohm/inhibit-idle-suspend</tt>
: To (re-)enable idle-suspend, type the following: <tt>rm /etc/ohm/inhibit-idle-suspend</tt>
Or apparently you can simply use the Sugar Control Panel / Power pane (under the XO guy in Home/Favourites view). The Automatic Power Management checkmark option creates or deletes the above file.

''Misc''
: screen rotate button makes XO screen go white, you have to reboot. <trac>7407</trac>
: Read can't open PDFs <s><trac>7615</trac></s>
:: no, that's an unrelated bug that was fixed in an earlier build, please file a new ticket next time. I've fixed this for future builds with new gnome-vfs2 packages. -[[User:DanielDrake|DanielDrake]] 21:51, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

'''Ran Software Update to get new activities.'''
: Browse and Log Viewer do not appear to update properly -- SW Update keeps listing them as un-updated even after supposedly updating them (<trac>7494</trac>, <trac>7640</trac>). ''Workaround: delete the offending activities and re-run Software Update.''

'''XOs being used for the smoketest are running the following:'''
: '''Build:''' Joyride-2230

: '''Channel:''' 11

'''Collaboration: Chat-43'''
: Sharing with Neighborhood works in both directions without visible issues (G02 starting the activity with W08 joining, and vice versa).

'''Collaboration: Browse-94'''
: Shared bookmarks appear to work without issues.
'''Collaboration: Read-45'''
: PDF file doesn't seem to transfer from "host" XO to the joining XO(s).

'''Collaboration: Record-56'''
: XO(s) joining a shared Record activity freeze?

'''Collaboration: Write-55'''
: Shared Write activity appears to work without issues.

(Tickets to bugs found will be added once the tickets are submitted.)

=== Build joyride-2140 ===

'''Activities:''' Measure doesn't display properly -- the waveform area is grey, but the Sugar interface up top and the scrollbar on the right show properly. TamTamJam does not start.(<trac>7467</trac> and <trac>7466</trac> respectively.)

'''Image Transferring and Invite:''' Copying to the clipboard and Journal appears to work, however the image cannot be pasted from the clipboard to the Write activity, nor can it be pasted by using the Image menu. (File is named "Clipboard object: ." for some reason -- possibly connected? See <trac>7468</trac>) The second XO experienced no visible issues when invited to the Write activity, and both laptops were able to share the activity and see each others' changes.

'''Installing an Activity Bundle (Browse):''' Implode installs, but hangs when running; maybe same issue as with TamTamJam? (Running Browse-92.)
:Not the same as TamTam. I mailed the Implode author with diagnosis info. It needs an update for new sugar/GTK+ API. Please test another activity instead, e.g. Distance (AcousticMeasure) -[[User:DanielDrake|DanielDrake]] 17:35, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
:Okay, redid this part of the test with Block Party, which seems to have downloaded, installed and run properly. -[[User:Charlie|Charlie]] 14:05, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

'''Installing a Library Bundle (USB):''' Wikibooks-4.xol is not installed (is not present in /home/olpc/Library/) after clicking start in the Journal. Possible MIME-type issue? Copying Wikibooks-4.xol to /home/olpc/Library/ from the USB stick did not fix the problem.

'''Installing a Library Bundle (Browse):''' Bible-en.xol downloads, but is not installed (is not present in /home/olpc/Library/). Clicking 'Start' in the Journal does not do anything -- possibly a MIME-type issue? (<trac>7427</trac>, running Browse-92.)
:7427 is unrelated, we need a new ticket -[[User:DanielDrake|DanielDrake]] 17:35, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

'''Installing a Library Bundle (offline):''' Phyla PDF downloads; when started through Journal, Read starts but no document appears. (Running Browse-92.)

'''Transfer files to USB stick:''' Clipboard image does not load on other XO; probably related to results from Browse/Write sharing.

=== Build 713 for Ethiopia ===
* Tested against open AP and school server
* Collaboration over infrastructure (salut) was a bit unreliable, probably due to noisy RF environment
* <trac>8379</trac>: Pretty boot does not work
* No other problems found
-[[User:DanielDrake|DanielDrake]] 23:18, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

=== Build 712 for Ethiopia ===

* Tested against WEP AP.
* Did all collaboration testing over simple mesh
* Write defaults to DejaVu font, which does not have Amharic characters. Perhaps it should default to Abyssinica SIL on ethiopian laptops.
* Did not test school server connectivity or filling NAND
* No problems found otherwise (completed the rest of the smoke test in full)

=== Build 711 Q2e12 (8.1.2) ===

For this build I did some quick testing of sharing write, record, and chat between two laptops on simple mesh.

The only difference between this build and 709 below is a fix for the SD card. Should be no change in Wifi capabilities, sharing, or any individual activities functionality.

Specific tests for the bug fix can be found in the ECO check list for release:

For the per711-1, I did a cleaninstall (which is what they will need); boot up and checked for the new content.

=== Build 709 Q2E12 ===
'''Startup:'''
* Cleaninstall; added activities with the bundles directory (peru activities)
* Connected to medialab 802.11, browsed the web
* Connected to WPA (olpc), and connected to WEP (canopy), browsed the web

'''Activities:'''
* Pippy, sequence to test out audio
* Record, took pictures
* TamTam - played a few quick sounds
* Opened Turtle Art and Scratch
* Copied an image from the browser to the clipboard and onto a write doc
* Saved it; retrieved it from the journal

'''Sharing:'''
* Two laptops shared the following via simple mesh properly:
** Chat
** Write
** Record photos
** Browser links
Some activities I shared with the neighborhood, some I used the private invitation.

'''Bundles'''
* I downloaded Flipsticks from the web (Activities link, Testing link); it installed and loaded.
* Ran it and closed it.

=== Build 708 Q2D16 ([[8.1.1]] RC1) ===
'''Startup:'''
'''Startup:'''
* Connected by default to school mesh, was able to access an open AP (media lab 802.11), WEP (canopy), and WPA (olpc) fine.

=== pretest ===
# Update from 656 : took 25 minutes over media lab wireless from the Garden.
# Firmware update, Q2C26d --> Q2D14 : is taking a very very long time. after a few min, talked to Mitch; there's a quirk with the machine; trying a new MP.

''starting over''
# update from 656 : started at 21:45, done 22:06 (21 min)
# firmware is already at Q2d14a (was accidentally left near richard smith for more than 15s)

=== pretest take 2 ===
for a spanish machine (es_ur).
# update from build 700 : olpc-update over wifi started at 21:58, wireless cut out. done in <5 min.

=== smoketest ===
I only made it partway through the smoketest. NTS: we should break this test into a few "fifteen-minute" tests.

'''boot'''
* comes up at normal speed. on first load of my home view, however, on one of the two machines I didn't get a frame. I left the view and returned, and the frame was there.

'''base system'''
* sugar-control-panel doesn't work from the root shell; it requires that you be in sugar. This isn't quite clear from the documentation, should be release-noted.
* when I change my colors after removing my sugar info, the old work shows up under my old colors in the journal, and new work shows up under the new colors. It would be useful to have some confirmation that these were still activities started by me - so some text that indicates the user that started a joined activity.

'''power'''
* After booting with half power, I let the machine power down until it was red, then plugged it back in. After an our of charging, it says "battery fully charged" but shows graphically a battery with only ~10% charge.

'''network'''
* initial association with a network was fast. I had spotty connectivity with the media lab from 1CC. Eventually, after successfully transferring ~100MB of data, I was reassociated with mesh 1.
* scholserver: when I associated with the mesh, I automatically found the local school server, from which I was also able to reach the internet.
*: However, I was not able to see the schoolserver main page via the browser link, getting an "unable to determine IP address from host name for ''schoolserver''" error. [this is an XS bug, not an XO bug (care to explain why you think so ? There are no known XS bugs about this, and no reason to suspect it doesn't work... --[[User:Wad|Wad]] 15:19, 14 April 2008 (EDT))]

'''collaboration'''
: ''untested''

'''customization'''
: ''untested''

'''activities'''
* library/browse : navigation and localized bundles are localized; the start page is not. downloading new bundles works, and installs them automatically.
** there were problems with the default bundle index pages; reported and fixed in 704.
* library updates : reindexing the library should be done from the sugar terminal, not the virtual terminal. From the virtual terminal, on a system which has a non-ascii UTF-8 bundlename, you get an encoding error. The virtual terminal has LANG=C which leads to a utf-8 transcoding error when it concatenates the bundle name with the path. see [http://teach.laptop.org/~mstone/unicode].
* removing bundles from the library by deleting them from the Journal works.
* sugar activity-bar :
* l10n : sugar bar titles are unlocalized for Acoustic Tape Measure, Memorize, News Reader, Log Viewer, Analyze, and Implode.
* updating activities : not tested.

== Build 699 ==

Release notes are being built here: [[OLPC Update.1 Software Release Notes]]


The results from Michael and Yani (smoke test):

'''Customization:'''<br>
* We saw a bug today where the customization process would freeze when installing large .xo bundles like tamtamedit.
There is a workaround in customization-2, which was recently sent by mstone.
* Read wasnt included in the Mexico customization. It has been added in customization-2
* Michael managed to update activities/content bundles through the browser
* Customization key wont install if the activities or library directories had already been created as root. This wont apply to freshly reflashed builds.


'''Activities:'''<br>
* Couldnt add feed to news reader. Clicking "+"/dropdown on the feeds tab didnt do anything
* The contents of a USB key didnt show in the journal. So couldnt install activity bundles from the USB through the journal.
* Could copy images to the clipboard through record+browse+paint. They were successfully opened in paint and pasted in write!


'''Collaboration'''<br>
* Activities were reliably sharing between 2 XOs in the same School server mesh, and also in simple mesh. This was tested with write/distance/chat/memorize
* Some XOs were connected to APs, while still running salut in channel 6.
These could very reliably exchange presence info(XOs showed in meshview/received activity invitations/joined public activities) with each other and also with the ones connected to the SS in channel 6.
However, no application traffic was able to be shared. This was tested in many activites including write/chat/pippy/connect and others.
These XOs had different msh0 ip subnets(one was SS,msh0=172.18.x.x, other was AP,msh0=169.254.x.x).
Perhaps this explains why the traffic data wasnt sent? But again, presence traffic was shared fine.
* Some times when joining a Chat the activity wasnt responding. Keystrokes were shown int he edit box.
The log displayed : "groupadd: group 10019 exists Creating mailbox file: File exists".
The bug wasnt consistent though
Seemed identical to 6499
* We couldn't manage to make read share, although didnt test extensively. Perhaps this is still related to 6483.


'''Network'''<br>
* WEP/WPA initially worked fine and were tested several times. However after some time no XOs could connect to the WPA/olpc. The icon also disappeared in one of the XOs. Perhaps smth was wrong with the AP.
* Disabling salut(6299) was working fine. Salut + Avahi traffic were successfully disabled for some minutes when receiving a public ip.
* Only one telepathy-salut crash was seen. It seemed that 6310 was fixed. More testing needs to be done here.
* Also I didnt manage to reproduce the xmas-tree effect(5501). I wasnt aware that the new telepathy-salut was attempting to fix it. This is good news!
* Last but not least: The inhibit-idle-suspend flag stops the XO from suspending automatically.
I was under the impression that a suspended XO will wake with MDNS packets. However, I removed the inhibit-idle-suspend flag and suspended for 15min. When resumed, all the XOs were failed in avahi. It seems that MDNS packets didnt wake it.
Are there different rules for resuming from automatic suspend vs resuming from manual suspend?
This needs to be further looked into.

== Build 697 ==
*Only chat, browse, write, record, and paint show up in the activities bar. Nor will activities from other applications resume from the journal. They appear to have been disassociated. - [[User:Herbert|Herbert]] 16:00, 7 March 2008 (EST)

== Build 695 (2008-02-28) ==
* Record activity takes ~10 seconds to begin recording video, after suspend/resume ([http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/4255 bug #4255]) - [[User:Ghopper|Ghopper]] 22:30, 2 March 2008 (EST)

== Build 693 Q2D13 ==

* Still having problems with sharing read and write. One time I was able to successfully share a pdf via Read between two laptops running 693; but then I couldn't repeat that even after rebooting both laptops. Perhaps with a smaller pdf.
* Sharing Write continues to crash when you open other activities (such as record)

One Hour Test:
* Boot up after upgrade via olpc-upgrade upgrade.1-693 on non-writeprotected laptops. [NOTE: on C1 or B4 laptops I think you have to have a UUID and a SN, and perhaps other items, in the mfg-data or the laptop will not boot the un-signed OS; I havent' figured out all the details]
* Individual activities open up and close down properly: Chat, Browse, Write, Record
* Even when Read refuses to share, and the mesh neighborhood view stops reporting on shared activities; chat continues to share properly.


I turned off both security and suspend (rm /etc/olpc-security; touch /etc/ohm/inhibit-suspend); and used simple mesh only:
* After a reboot; Sharing is much more reliable. I shared photos, write docs, Browse links, added pictures to write docs, and the measure and chat shared properly. I still can't repeatably share a large pdf. It might be the size of the pdf.

[[User:Kimquirk|Kimquirk]] 16:53, 17 February 2008 (EST)

== Build 691 Q2D13 ==

* Using olpc-update to upgrade from 690 to 691 - I could not connect to a WPA access point. I deleted the '/home/olpc/.sugar/default/nm/network.cfg' file; rebooted and it worked. [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/6370 6370]
* For WEP or WPA, the access point must be set to channel 1, 6, or 11 for the XO to connect.(I have 691 working with WPA on channel 2)
* [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/6046 Trac #6046]: XO is slow after upgrade. Update.1 builds contain a time synchronization mechanism, which may leave the font cache in the 'future'. Until real time catches up, fontconfig is unhappy.

One Hour Test:
* Boot up after upgrade was good; open AP, WPA (after above work around), and school server mesh all worked.
* Record, Write, Journal, Browse all opened up with good basic functionality
* olpc-update candidate-691
** 1st XO, 650 -> 691, failure return code 1 (twice two different files), re-update again, finally complete no errors
**: could of been in low battery state, was less than 20% left. after plug-in, booted fine, did auto-reset of OFW. works ok.
** 2nd XO, joyride 1643 -> 691, [[/691-Errors]] but appears to be fine.
* Problem copying a photo to a write doc - [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/6405 6405]
* Problem when sharing a document; try to add a photo and write crashes - [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/6407 6407]

== Build 690 Q2D10 (RC1) ==

* Can't connect to WEP, [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/6123 #6123]; maybe a work around if you create the networks.config file by hand.
** [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/6123#comment:8 workarounds discovered so far] --[[User:Chihyu|Chihyu]] 16:01, 28 January 2008 (EST)
* Suspend is occurring at in-appropriate times, like when trying to rotate the screen or open an activity, [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/6235 #6235]
* USB drive might not be recognized in Journal; the workaround is to remove olpc.store from the USB drive. ([http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/6269 #6269]) --[[User:Chihyu|Chihyu]] 11:43, 30 January 2008 (EST)
* Battery light problem with q2d10 ([http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/6227 #6227]); q2d10a fixes this. --[[User:Chihyu|Chihyu]] 11:47, 30 January 2008 (EST)

== Build 689 (Exclusively for Mongolia?)==

'''Smoke test results'''

Tested on a MP machine with firmware Q2D08a.

* When Write is launched, the cursor turns into a horizontal arrow, but this does not affect editing, and one can get rid of it by moving the cursor around.
* Suspend/Resume doesn't seem to work, see [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/5976#comment:3 #5976]
* not fully localized in Spanish ([http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/5968#comment:5 #5968])
* '''not tested''': filling up journal

== Build 687 (not quite RC1) ==

'''Smoke test results'''

Tested on a MP machine with firmware Q2D09.

* Either something wrong with the firmware, or with the activities ([http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/6187 #6187]):
** <strike>Write is broken.</strike> If Record Activity is open, the cursor in Write turns into a horizontal arrow, and one cannot type anything in the work area. Hitting Alt-1 cannot take a screen shot; instead, it adds multiple "Write Activity" entries to the Journal. If Write is the only activity that's open, the cursor still turns into a horizontal arrow, but one should be able to type in the work area and get rid of the horizontal arrow by moving the mouse around. [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/6164 #6164]
** If Record is open, one will also have trouble typing in the text field in Journal. Other key presses (Home /Mesh/Neighborhood view, toggle frames, Alt-tab) will not be acted upon, either.

* It takes around 10 seconds to share a Write activity between two machines (same build, connected to the same school server mesh).

* Buddy disappears while sharing an activity with another XO (same build, connected to the same school server mesh). [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/6169 #6169]

* Net bible can be installed and read, but the "download completed" message cannot be closed in the browser.

* not fully localized in Spanish ([http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/5968#comment:5 #5968])

* '''not tested''': filling up journal

* Could not test ''Installing an Activity Bundle'' from the web due to known IPv6 issues with laptop.org
* Could not test ''Installing a library bundle'' due to known IPv6 issues with laptop.org
* Issues encountered (not specific regressions in this build, I'm a new user and these were the biggest issues I noticed):

** [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/5905 #5905 typing in TamTamJam "activity" tab has 2 purposes]
** [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/5910 #5910 Overlay button produces white blob]
** System sluggishness particularly with the browser, leading to unresponsive frame taking minutes to disappear [seems much better in joyride]
** Occasionally saw frame-not-disappearing issue but the frame and the underlying app seemed fully responsive (i.e. system didn't seem to be struggling with swap or anything) [have not seen this in joyride]

== Build 650, Ship.2 Release ==

'''1 Hour Smoke Results'''
* This build has successfully booted into sugar on WP and unsecured laptops. The journal loads.
* Tried out a few activities: chat (3way), record (bug with lost pictures is fixed), write, measure, tamtam, browse, paint, pippy.
** There are some issues with Write shutting down when trying to use it with Chat [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/5249 #5249]
* I successfully downloaded the gmail activity; and ran it; read some mail.
* I tried to download the Lewis Carrol bundle, but it didn't seem to show up on my library links even after refresh. Can't resume from journal either, so I can't figure out how to see this bundle.
* Image transfer: It takes a really, really long time to insert an image into AbiWord -- there is no indication that anything is happening, [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/5175 #5175].
** Private and public invitation to write worked via salut (no jabber service at this time).

== Build 641 (first Ship2 candidate) ==

'''Wireless update'''
* 5.110.20.p4 is on 7 machines that will continue to run all weekend. These machines have HW ECOs, and have removed ohm (rpm -e ohm) since any chance of suspend/resume was causing problems (which continued to plague us during reboot, for instance). They looked good after removing ohm.
* Another suspend/resume issue is that if you hit the power button on the front of the laptop with or without the power adapter plugged in you could get into a very bad state. [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/5074 trac 5074]
* I was not successful sharing a Write doc across 3 laptops with both text and an image (I didn't try an image alone). This failed in both link local and medialab AP with jabber modes. Most likely the link local problem was a crash in presence. Not sure what the jabber problem is -- Yani tried it again on the same machines and it did share... something intermittent??
- kim

* On a C1 I had to touch /etc/ohm/inhibit-suspend in order to keep wireless up when the machine was unplugged.
* I failed to connect to the network at a Marriott Courtyard without killing NetworkManager and manually configuring.
- cscott

* Anything earlier than C2 or laptops with all HW ECOs will require inhibit-suspend. Even with inhibit-suspend, if you hit the 'power' button on the front - you can get strange suspend behavior (5074, above). This is why I have removed ohm.
* I had a VERY difficult time with the tracpad on one of my C2 laptops after upgrading to q2d04l.rom. It jumped to the lower right corner nearly every time it sensed a new tap; which immediately brings up the sugar frame and causes much frustration. I now understand when people complain about this when it is at it worst.
* I rebooted, I did the 4 finger salut, and a couple of us tried using it for about 30 minutes. Then I downgraded the OFW and it worked well again. I rebooted a few times and it always came up working well. Then I put the q2d04l.rom OFW back on ... and it still works well. I've rebooted a few times and it still works well. I'm confident that we will get some laptops returned because of this problem. Need to get to root cause.

=Joyride Builds=

== Build Joyride 2140 ==

'''Activities:''' Measure doesn't display properly -- the waveform area is grey, but the Sugar interface up top and the scrollbar on the right show properly. TamTamJam does not start.(<trac>7467</trac> and <trac>7466</trac> respectively.)

'''Image Transferring and Invite:''' Copying to the clipboard and Journal appears to work, however the image cannot be pasted from the clipboard to the Write activity, nor can it be pasted by using the Image menu. (File is named "Clipboard object: ." for some reason -- possibly connected? See <trac>7468</trac>) The second XO experienced no visible issues when invited to the Write activity, and both laptops were able to share the activity and see each others' changes.

'''Installing an Activity Bundle (Browse):''' Implode installs, but hangs when running; maybe same issue as with TamTamJam? (Running Browse-92.)
:Not the same as TamTam. I mailed the Implode author with diagnosis info. It needs an update for new sugar/GTK+ API. Please test another activity instead, e.g. Distance (AcousticMeasure) -[[User:DanielDrake|DanielDrake]] 17:35, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
:Okay, redid this part of the test with Block Party, which seems to have downloaded, installed and run properly. -[[User:Charlie|Charlie]] 14:05, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

'''Installing a Library Bundle (USB):''' Wikibooks-4.xol is not installed (is not present in /home/olpc/Library/) after clicking start in the Journal. Possible MIME-type issue? Copying Wikibooks-4.xol to /home/olpc/Library/ from the USB stick did not fix the problem.

'''Installing a Library Bundle (Browse):''' Bible-en.xol downloads, but is not installed (is not present in /home/olpc/Library/). Clicking 'Start' in the Journal does not do anything -- possibly a MIME-type issue? (<trac>7427</trac>, running Browse-92.)
:7427 is unrelated, we need a new ticket -[[User:DanielDrake|DanielDrake]] 17:35, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

'''Installing a Library Bundle (offline):''' Phyla PDF downloads; when started through Journal, Read starts but no document appears. (Running Browse-92.)

'''Transfer files to USB stick:''' Clipboard image does not load on other XO; probably related to results from Browse/Write sharing.

== Build Joyride 2128 ==
Please note that all activities running on the machines tested were upgraded via [[olpc-update]] from the 708 release candidate, and don't have joyride-specific activities yet because the activity updater isn't finished yet -- activity-specific issues may be related to that.

Measure does not display properly; the menus on the top of the screen and the scrollbars on the right edge of the screen display properly but the area where the waveform would be is a blank grey color.

Old testing results

Purpose of test group release notes

If you are interested in developing or testing builds that are not yet released, come to this page first and see if the build has any major problems. If it can't even pass the Smoke Test, you probably don't want to waste time loading it.

If you don't see anything here on the latest build, please add your notes on smoke test and/or basic functionality to help the next guy.

NOTE: Entering issues on this page does NOT count as reporting them. Please enter bugs in Trac.
For information on how to report bugs, see: Reporting bugs

sudo olpc-update candidate-801 from candidate-800 worked fine for me. -- skierpage 04:45, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

candidate-800

sudo olpc-update candidate-800 from build 767 worked fine for me. Wireless connectivity to my old Linksys BEFW11 router with 128-bit WEP worked OK, but I still am disconnected for a while after resuming from standby until the XO gives up on mesh. -- skierpage 2009-01-26 ...

olpc-update staging-7

Passed smoke test by Bpepple. Booted and tried by Reuben and Kim.
Cursor control problems reported but not proved worse or better than before.

Booted and tried briefly by iXo . Unable to connect to either WEP or WPA access points. Some errors during on console during bootup, mostly to do with JFFS and xauth. Will investigate further in next few days. (Contact via email, or post on User Talk page. --ixo 07:52, 5 January 2009 (UTC) )

8.2 builds

Build 8.2-767 (candidate release)

Startup/Upgrade

  • Updated from 711 through olpc-update.
  • Boot up is a tad slower than 711, but otherwise, upgrade and boot up are flawless.

Network and mesh

  • Activities updated successfully and internet connection successful. Still have not tested a Mesh with multiple XOs

Programs and other stuff

  • Ran through the 1-Hour Smoke Test:
  • Log Viewer Activity did not function at all. It will not open period.
  • All other applications and features functioned as expected.
  • One time it did not shut down properly (Stayed on until the battery died!) but I have not had any problems since then.
  • Several other applications downloaded off the Wiki and installed on the XO through USB:
  • SimCity hangs after exiting. All other applications I tested worked correctly.
  • "shutdown -r" command does not properly shutdown XO. Regular shutdown methods still function (Mostly).

Build 8.2-765 (candidate release)

cscott's Changelog; rwh's Changelog

Build 8.2-763 (candidate release)

Changelog

Install

  • I did a cleaninstall on one laptop and an olpc-update (from 760) on another. Both upgrades completed and the laptops booted up.
  • The activity updater launched and got the latest activities from /Activities/G1G1/8.2.0, but did not pull down the content or collections. #8493, marked as a blocking bug for 8.2
  • NOTE: After changes to the wiki page, the content is also getting updated properly.

Activities

  • Started many activities and tested for basic funcationality. Results are now being logged in the test restults page: TestResults_8.2.0

Collaboration

  • This build has now been loaded onto the 30 laptop test bed and a number of smaller testbeds. All standard collaboration continues to work as in the last release.
  • Simple mesh collaborates, connection to an AP, and connection/registration to a school server -- no regressions.

Build 8.2-760

  • changelog?

Startup/upgrade

  • I upgraded some laptops from 759 to 760 via olpc-update. The upgrade was followed by the activity update, which completed without problems (about 6 laptops). Additionally, Joe, Mel and Frances upgraded 39 laptops without any problem.
  • I upgraded via cleaninstall on 3 laptops. The machines booted and the activity update completed without problems.

Network/connectivity

  • Connected to open and WEP access points.
  • When connected to WEP AP, my two laptops at home also saw each other.
  • I turned the radio off on one laptop and the other's neighborhood view continued to show the XO even the next morning...#8441. After turning the radio back on, the two neighborhood views won't sync up again. They can't see each other to share any new activities.
  • After a while I tried to share write and they were able to see the write doc.

Activities

  • Chat, Write, Record (video, still, and voice), Pippy, Tamtam jam, Browse all started and performed as expected.
  • Browse shows no Library content! #8493

Kimquirk 12:30, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Ethernet connection

  • My D-Link DUB-E100 USB Ethernet adapter does not work with this build. No connection.

Collaboration

  • 29 laptops connected to a school server and running Chat, Browse and (in the case of 3 laptops) also Write survived the overnight collaboration.
  • 5 out of 10 laptops on the mesh network running Chat and Record (in the Photo mode) stopped collaborating after the overnight run. 3 of those laptops were also running Write; in one of the 'invited' laptops Write disappeared by the morning; the laptop itself was still operational; other two laptops still running Write stopped collaborating.

ChangeLog

Activities

Etoys: Saving fails if project name has non-ascii characters <trac>8212</trac>

Screen pulsing, out-of-memory

Twice with 8.2-759 my G1G1 machine has had the screen flash on and off coming out of a "standby" (screen off) state. The second time seemed a memory pressure state, I typed some memory commands at random and saved the output at User:Skierpage/out-of-memory -- Skierpage 23:41, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Build 8.2-757

Changelog_757

Connectivity test results

  • 40+ laptops were upgraded with olpc-update 8.2-757; some with copy-nand of the os757.img; some with olpc-update 8.2-757.
  • Laptops booted up properly, but some of them required reinstallation of the build.
  • Connected to simple mesh 11 (all mesh circles are showing again in this release!), some of the laptops left and rejoined the mesh periodically.
  • Connected properly to School Server AP (open, no encryption)
  • Upgraded many activities well through activity updater (some activities had to try twice)
  • Connected to canopy (WPA), and olpc (WEP) APs and browsed the web correctly.
  • Ran Chat, Browse and Write sharing on laptops connected to a school server. Out of 30+ laptops, only two couldn't see the Write's icon in the "Group" view. Other machine happily shared those activities.
  • Ran Chat and Write sharing on 10 laptops connected to over the simple mesh. Sugar suddenly restarted in several laptops already sharing Write, when one of other laptops joined sharing the Write. After sharing of Chat and Wtite was restored, laptops starting behaving properly.

olpc-update

Running olpc-update 8.2-757 to update from joyride-2301:

  • Always reports Contents manifest failure at line 383 Last file examined: localtime when Trying irsync_pristine. This happens to many upgraders, filed <trac>8190</trac> for investigation.
  • Then X always restarts in Trying irsync_dirty, probably <trac>5954</trac> "oom-killer during olpc-update". A workaround may be to NOT run the command in Terminal Activity, but instead in a console, possibly in the background.

-- Skierpage 06:52, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

  • Updates worked pretty well on 32 laptops, some had to be initiated several times; but once they were up they all connected to the Zoom AP, and registered with the school server.
  • Some laptops were clean-installed as well. One had to be rebooted as the wireless didn't come the first time.
  • All 32 laptops are connected to AP to a school server. Chat was started on one laptop and shared with all the others. Browse was started on one laptop and bookmarks were shared across many laptops. The next morning they were ALL still running (no crashes, no sugar reboots, chat and browse still active); and the chat continued to work across all machines.
  • On many machines in the neighborhood view, the circle of XOs around the shared activity disappeared. The shared activity is still there and others can still join it: <trac>8184</trac>.

http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2008-September/018879.html

Build 8.2-756

(based on joyride 2324)

XOs being used for this testing are running the following:

Build: 756
Firmware: Q2E14
Libertas: test version of 5.110.22.p18 (0.0.0.p18)

Connectivity

At boot up after a cleaninstall the MP laptop defaulted to 'Channel 11'; but there are no simple mesh channels showing in the network neighborhood. Also, my two B4 laptops got no WLAN connection at all after boot up. You can click on an infrastructure AP, though. <trac>8133</trac>
Two laptops near each other but connected to an AP to the internet can no longer see each other. <trac>7972</trac>

Build joyride-2301

XOs being used for the initial test were running the following:

Build: Joyride-2301
Firmware: CL1 Q2E12 Q2E
Libertas: 5.110.22.p17

XOs being used for the initial test were connected to the internet through School Wifi.

Telepathy: gabble
Jabber: schoolserver.media.mit.edu
essid: media lab 802.11
Channel: 11

Activities:

Same results as 2294.

Miscellaneous:

The main difference between joyride-2301 and joyride-2294 is that 2301 has had the automatic idle-suspend defaulted to OFF. If you need to or want to test how idle-suspend may or may not break things, use the following commands in a virtual terminal to turn it on or off as needed.
To disable idle-suspend, type the following: touch /etc/ohm/inhibit-idle-suspend
To (re-)enable idle-suspend, type the following: rm /etc/ohm/inhibit-idle-suspend

Or apparently you can simply use the Sugar Control Panel / Power pane (under the XO guy in Home/Favourites view). The Automatic Power Management checkmark option creates or deletes the above file.

Build joyride-2294

XOs being used for the initial test were running the following:

Build: Joyride-2294

Chat-45: XMPP 1:1 chats work fine with a non-XO. <trac>7633</trac> appears to be fixed.
Read-49: PDF files load in Read now (<trac>7615</trac>), but shared Read activities do not send the PDF file to XOs that join the activity.
Record-56: No unexpected behavior aside from a crash to the Home view that seemed isolated; will look into it.
Write-57: No unexpected behavior.

Misc

screen rotate button makes XO screen go white, you have to reboot. <trac>7407</trac>
Read can't open PDFs <trac>7615</trac>
no, that's an unrelated bug that was fixed in an earlier build, please file a new ticket next time. I've fixed this for future builds with new gnome-vfs2 packages. -DanielDrake 21:51, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Ran Software Update to get new activities.

Browse and Log Viewer do not appear to update properly -- SW Update keeps listing them as un-updated even after supposedly updating them (<trac>7494</trac>, <trac>7640</trac>). Workaround: delete the offending activities and re-run Software Update.

XOs being used for the smoketest are running the following:

Collaboration: Chat-43

Sharing with Neighborhood works in both directions without visible issues (G02 starting the activity with W08 joining, and vice versa).

Collaboration: Browse-94

Shared bookmarks appear to work without issues.

Collaboration: Read-45

PDF file doesn't seem to transfer from "host" XO to the joining XO(s).

Collaboration: Record-56

XO(s) joining a shared Record activity freeze?

Collaboration: Write-55

Shared Write activity appears to work without issues.

(Tickets to bugs found will be added once the tickets are submitted.)

Build joyride-2140

Activities: Measure doesn't display properly -- the waveform area is grey, but the Sugar interface up top and the scrollbar on the right show properly. TamTamJam does not start.(<trac>7467</trac> and <trac>7466</trac> respectively.)

Image Transferring and Invite: Copying to the clipboard and Journal appears to work, however the image cannot be pasted from the clipboard to the Write activity, nor can it be pasted by using the Image menu. (File is named "Clipboard object: ." for some reason -- possibly connected? See <trac>7468</trac>) The second XO experienced no visible issues when invited to the Write activity, and both laptops were able to share the activity and see each others' changes.

Installing an Activity Bundle (Browse): Implode installs, but hangs when running; maybe same issue as with TamTamJam? (Running Browse-92.)

Not the same as TamTam. I mailed the Implode author with diagnosis info. It needs an update for new sugar/GTK+ API. Please test another activity instead, e.g. Distance (AcousticMeasure) -DanielDrake 17:35, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
Okay, redid this part of the test with Block Party, which seems to have downloaded, installed and run properly. -Charlie 14:05, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Installing a Library Bundle (USB): Wikibooks-4.xol is not installed (is not present in /home/olpc/Library/) after clicking start in the Journal. Possible MIME-type issue? Copying Wikibooks-4.xol to /home/olpc/Library/ from the USB stick did not fix the problem.

Installing a Library Bundle (Browse): Bible-en.xol downloads, but is not installed (is not present in /home/olpc/Library/). Clicking 'Start' in the Journal does not do anything -- possibly a MIME-type issue? (<trac>7427</trac>, running Browse-92.)

7427 is unrelated, we need a new ticket -DanielDrake 17:35, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Installing a Library Bundle (offline): Phyla PDF downloads; when started through Journal, Read starts but no document appears. (Running Browse-92.)

Transfer files to USB stick: Clipboard image does not load on other XO; probably related to results from Browse/Write sharing.

Update.1 builds

Build 713 for Ethiopia

  • Tested against open AP and school server
  • Collaboration over infrastructure (salut) was a bit unreliable, probably due to noisy RF environment
  • <trac>8379</trac>: Pretty boot does not work
  • No other problems found

-DanielDrake 23:18, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Build 712 for Ethiopia

  • Tested against WEP AP.
  • Did all collaboration testing over simple mesh
  • Write defaults to DejaVu font, which does not have Amharic characters. Perhaps it should default to Abyssinica SIL on ethiopian laptops.
  • Did not test school server connectivity or filling NAND
  • No problems found otherwise (completed the rest of the smoke test in full)

-DanielDrake 02:25, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
