==Introduction==
This is a page where the testers are invited to gather their testing results for [[Release notes/10.1.3|release 10.1.3]]. 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.

==10.1.3 Features==


===Sugar Ad-hoc networks===
==Testing plans==
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.


[[File:Sugar_Adhoc_networks.png]]
===10.1.3 Features===
For instructions how to test the Features listed below please have a look at the section "How to test" of each Feature page.


Testing plans can be found in the [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Ad_hoc_Networking#How_To_Test 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. If you only have Xo-1s you can as well let Sugar create the Ad-hoc networks. Enabling them can be done with a gconf command in the Terminal activity 'gconftool-2 --type=bool --set /desktop/sugar/network/adhoc true'.

* '''Sharing/Backup Journal entries using a storage device'''
===Sharing/Backup Journal entries using a storage device===
One possible use case: Martin wants to give a picture he has been drawing to Simon. He plugs in his USB-stick and copies the Journal entry on the stick. Simon insert the stick and copies it into his Journal. Another use case is, to use this Feature to backup Journal entries.
Detailed information can be found [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Journal_Entries#Sharing.2FBackup_Journal_entries_using_a_storage_device_9657 here].

==Backwards compatibility tests==

===Migrate Journal entries stored on a storage device in 0.82===
One possible use case: A learner/teacher has been backing up Journal entries to a USB-stick in Sugar 0.82, included in the 8.2.* OLPC builds.

More info about the issue and how to test it can be found [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Journal_Entries#Convert_Journal_entries_that_have_been_saved_to_a_storage_device_in_0.82_9658 here].

==Connectivity: Different Internet connections==
You should test here if you can connect with a WEP and WPA/WPA2 network, if a wired connection is possible and the 3G connection test can be logged here, too.

Please note that disabling the XO's internal 802.11 "Radio" in the Sugar Network control panel may disable the ability to use any networking adapter automatically due to the need to work around various other networking issues (#10549). To test external (typically USB based) network adapters either (1) manually configure them or (2) do ''not'' disable the "Radio" checkbox while testing them.

==Track Power Usage==
Richard Smith did put up the following [http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/testing/2010-December/001967.html testing request to track power usage] when you run your test suite on the XOs (1 and 1.5). With new builds its very easy. Starting with os356 and beyond. Here are the steps you need to add into your testing procedure:


# Start with a full charged XO that is plugged up to external power.
===Connectivity: Different internet connections===
# Boot the system up and either go to a VT or start up a Terminal activity.
You should test here if you can connect with a WEP and WPA/WPA2 network, if a wired connection is possible and the 3G connection test can be logged here, too.
# At the shell prompt type: sudo powerd-config =new-pwrlog "<comment about the log>"


<comment> can be any descriptive text you want to use about the log.
Its mostly just for a human looking at the log. Things like what build,
what XO, what battery, etc are automatically added in the log so none of
that does has to be in the comment. Perhaps your name and any special
circumstances surrounding the test.

# Unplug the XO from external power.
# Run all of your test suites.
# After your final test run is complete either shut the laptop down or
do another 'sudo powerd-config =new-pwrlog' to flush the log file.

I think I would prefer if you did a shutdown because then I have a nice
marker for a successful run.

Then tar up all the files in the ~olpc/power-logs and send them to Richard or
upload them somewhere on dev.l.o.

Its not necessary to have one run per log file or anything like that.
Just start on a full battery and go until either you are running out of
battery or you are done with your testing.

I just want to get some data on what the power usage distribution looks
like when people are using the new builds.

If you have to restart the laptop for some reason then don't worry about
making another new log with 'powerd-config =new-pwrlog' powerd will
create a new log when it starts up and I should be able to piece them
together manually.

==Sound==
Of interest is here to test the sound on the XO-1 and XO-1.5 for differences and to test all the activities that does produce sound (e.g. TamTam, Memorize, Espeak, Etoys).

==GNOME Breakability Issues -- options and actions breaking Gnome and Sugar==
In 10.1.3 a focus was on making switching between Sugar and GNOME smooth and that settings a user does under GNOME has no side effect on Sugar and the other way around.

Introduction

This is a page where the testers are invited to gather their testing results for release 10.1.3. 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.

Sugar Adhoc networks.png

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. If you only have Xo-1s you can as well let Sugar create the Ad-hoc networks. Enabling them can be done with a gconf command in the Terminal activity 'gconftool-2 --type=bool --set /desktop/sugar/network/adhoc true'.

garycmartin yes Tested between two XO-1s, one using the gconf change to imitate XO-1.5 behaviour
Melbourne testing yes Set up ad hoc on XO1.5 10.1.2 and connected to it with 2 XO1's 10.1.3

Sharing/Backup Journal entries using a storage device

One possible use case: Martin wants to give a picture he has been drawing to Simon. He plugs in his USB-stick and copies the Journal entry on the stick. Simon insert the stick and copies it into his Journal. Another use case is, to use this Feature to backup Journal entries.

More information can be found here.

Backwards compatibility tests

Migrate Journal entries stored on a storage device in 0.82

One possible use case: A learner/teacher has been backing up Journal entries to a USB-stick in Sugar 0.82, included in the 8.2.* OLPC builds.

More info about the issue and how to test it can be found here.

Update from previous releases

Here please report back about upgrades you did from previous OLPC builds. You can get a 0.82 image from gg-802-1 or a 10.1.2 build from here. You can use olpc-update to update to a new build. In the Terminal activity just type in one of the commands from below: 

sudo olpc-update 10.1.3_xo1.5-3NN

sudo olpc-update 10.1.3_xo1-3NN
Name From which version Works? Comment
Simon 10.1.2, XO-1.5, 2g image no No space left on device. Will redo with a 4g image.
Simon 10.1.2, XO-1.5, 4g image yes Journal updated correctly, Language setting (French) was kept
Simon gg-802-1 mostly Journal updated correctly, Language setting (French) was not kept was English then
Simon 10.1.2, XO-1.5, 4g image yes Done with the usb offline update
skierpage 10.1.2, XO-1 yes sudo olpc-update 10.1.3_xo1-360 succeeded on "irsync_pristine update"; had 104MB free in / before, and 111M after reboot and the prompted Software update.


Connectivity: Different Internet connections

You should test here if you can connect with a WEP and WPA/WPA2 network, if a wired connection is possible and the 3G connection test can be logged here, too.

Please note that disabling the XO's internal 802.11 "Radio" in the Sugar Network control panel may disable the ability to use any networking adapter automatically due to the need to work around various other networking issues (#10549). To test external (typically USB based) network adapters either (1) manually configure them or (2) do not disable the "Radio" checkbox while testing them.

Language Test

If you are a native speaker for a specific language shipped in the OLPC builds we would be happy to hear back from you about how well the 10.1.3 worked for you. You can use the "Missing translation" field to indicate a missing string.

Name Language Completed (percentage) Missing translation Comment
Pierre-Paul-Jacques Spanish 99% Browse download alert. None
Simon French not tested the overall completion yet CP: Switch to GNOME Button not displayed correctly in all the languages <trac>10544</trac> Is probably true for other languages, too.


Track Power Usage

Richard Smith did put up the following testing request to track power usage when you run your test suite on the XOs (1 and 1.5). With new builds its very easy. Starting with os356 and beyond. Here are the steps you need to add into your testing procedure:

  1. Start with a full charged XO that is plugged up to external power.
  2. Boot the system up and either go to a VT or start up a Terminal activity.
  3. At the shell prompt type: sudo powerd-config =new-pwrlog "<comment about the log>"

<comment> can be any descriptive text you want to use about the log. Its mostly just for a human looking at the log. Things like what build, what XO, what battery, etc are automatically added in the log so none of that does has to be in the comment. Perhaps your name and any special circumstances surrounding the test.

  1. Unplug the XO from external power.
  2. Run all of your test suites.
  3. After your final test run is complete either shut the laptop down or

do another 'sudo powerd-config =new-pwrlog' to flush the log file.

I think I would prefer if you did a shutdown because then I have a nice marker for a successful run.

Then tar up all the files in the ~olpc/power-logs and send them to Richard or upload them somewhere on dev.l.o.

Its not necessary to have one run per log file or anything like that. Just start on a full battery and go until either you are running out of battery or you are done with your testing.

I just want to get some data on what the power usage distribution looks like when people are using the new builds.

If you have to restart the laptop for some reason then don't worry about making another new log with 'powerd-config =new-pwrlog' powerd will create a new log when it starts up and I should be able to piece them together manually.

GNOME Breakability Issues -- options and actions breaking Gnome and Sugar

In 10.1.3 a focus was on making switching between Sugar and GNOME smooth and that settings a user does under GNOME has no side effect on Sugar and the other way around.

Leaving notes in this section can be done by more than one person, just separate name and result by a column.

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.
