== Known issues in development/testing releases ==

The (draft) [[Release notes/11.2.0]] page describes limitations and issues that we anticipate will be present in the final release. In addition, as we are still in development, so we're still encountering serious issues here and there that we'll fix as we move towards release. Those cases are documented here.

=== os21: XO-1.5 wireless card reset bug ===

<s><trac>10944</trac>: In build 21, a minor kernel bug causes the wireless card to be reset during every resume, destroying any established connections.</s> <b>Fixed in build 22</b>

=== os20 and os21: olpc-update broken ===

<s><trac>10942</trac>: If using olpc-update <em>from</em> os20 or os21 to another image, things will fail badly due to a misconfigured /versions/running symlink. It will delete the current version (perhaps rendering the system unusable on reboot) and then fail to update with a strange error regarding the /versions/contents directory.</s> <b>Fixed in build 22, but you will have to reflash to install this new version - sorry!</b>

=== XO-1 JFFS2 olpc-update to os20 broken ===

<s><trac>10929</trac>: If starting with an older release that used the JFFS2 filesystem (e.g. 10.1.3, 8.2.1) and using <tt>olpc-update</tt> to update to 11.2.0 build 20, you will find that it works fine during first boot, but then fails to boot the second time (and onwards). You'll have to reflash to recover from this, sorry.</s> <b>Fixed in build 21.</b>

New builds are announced on the [http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel devel mailing list].

=== XO-1.5 ===

To install from [[Open Firmware]] on an [[Activation_and_developer_keys | unlocked]] XO-1.5, download a .zd file to a USB drive. Choose the correct one: there are several. Files which end in .zd2 are for 2GB media and .zd4 is for 4GB media.

Insert the USB drive into the XO-1.5, get to the [[Ok]] prompt and type:
fs-update u:\osXX.zdN

Where ''osXX.zdN'' is the file you downloaded, for example os22.zd4.

=== XO-1 ===

To install from [[Open Firmware]] on an [[Activation_and_developer_keys | unlocked]] XO-1, download the .onu and .uim files to a USB drive.

Insert the USB drive into the XO-1, get to the [[Ok]] prompt and type:
update-nand u:\os''XX''.onu

where ''osXX.onu'' is the .onu file you downloaded, for example os22.onu.

(Watch out, there's a trap. Never use ''copy-nand'' for this release. ''copy-nand'' was for previous releases with .img and .crc files, but we no longer use it for .onu and .uim files. ''copy-nand'' might seem to finish okay, but your XO-1 won't start. If that happens, do it again using ''update-nand'' as above.)

== Upgrading with olpc-update ==

To install the latest 11.2.0 using olpc-update, you can run:

XO-1:

sudo olpc-update 11.2.0_xo1-XX

XO-1.5:

sudo olpc-update 11.2.0_xo1.5-XX

In both cases, "XX" must be substituted with the build number you wish to install (e.g. 14). See http://build.laptop.org/11.2.0 for the list.

== Bug reports ==

We are now looking for bug reports on all levels - system, Sugar, ...

Please file bugs at http://dev.laptop.org. Leave the milestone field blank but mention clearly that you are testing 11.2.0, your bug report will then be triaged into the appropriate place.

== What happened to 11.1.x? ==

At the time of planning this release around Fedora 14 for XO-1 and XO-1.5, we are in the interesting situation where software development for the ARM-based [[XO-1.75]] is restricted to developing around F12/F13. The 11.1.x space is therefore reserved for a F12/F13 release for XO-1.75. In the future, we hope to produce joint software releases for all 3 laptops.

This oddity is expected to be a one-off; as soon as Fedora/ARM reaches Fedora 14, XO-1.75 releases will be able to share the same base (and versioning) as XO-1/XO-1.5 releases.
