:''Old testing results''
==Regression/Smoke Test==
This set of test cases represents a quick smoke test that the build should pass:
# boot into sugar
# connect to a local mesh and see other XOs (this needs to be in a location with no school server or infrastructure AP)
# run a collaborative activity (AbiWord, Connect4, or Chat) with another XO
# ensure that the journal is able to resume an activity
# connect to an AP (and/or school mesh) and browse the web
# connect one XO to an AP; then boot a second XO, which should connect to a local mesh and browse the web through the second XO.


==Purpose of test group release notes==
'''Please add build release notes below and provide info as to whether the build passed the smoke test.'''


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.
==Build 525==
If it can't even pass the Smoke Test, you probably don't want to waste time loading it.
[http://olpc.download.redhat.com/olpc/streams/development/build525/devel_jffs2/ChangeLog 525 ChangeLog]
* I wasn't able to activate using copy-nand. This is intended, I think?
* Wasn't able to activate using the old autoreinstallation method, but once I tried the new one, the XO was able to boot just fine.
* I did run into a bit of trouble with autoreinstallation - if you used copy-nand first, it does successfully install the build, so when you try to do autoreinstallation it will say you already have the latest build and think it's finished.


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. <br>

==Build 515, RC3==
Passed smoke test by Bpepple. Booted and tried by Reuben and Kim. <br>
[http://olpc.download.redhat.com/olpc/streams/development/build515/devel_jffs2/ChangeLog 515 ChangeLog] <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) )
Smoke results: passed all tests 1-5; not able to test 6.<br>


== [http://pilgrim.laptop.org/~pilgrim/olpc/streams/8.2/ 8.2 builds] ==
* This one should have the developer's console back and the Journal dates corrected.
=== Build 8.2-767 (candidate release) ===
* [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/2231 B4 is not shutting off the display and backlight when suspended.] The B2 suspended, but with the backlight and display still on, but the screen at least faded to white. With the B4, the screen does not change at all.
====Startup/Upgrade====
* [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/2234 XOs only see themselves clustered around shared activities in the mesh view.]
* Updated from 711 through olpc-update.
* Content indexing in Journal is supposed to be fixed, but the search feature still doesn't work. Sorting by activity works fine.
* Boot up is a tad slower than 711, but otherwise, upgrade and boot up are flawless.
** There is a bug with metadata in the journal that's been fixed in jhbuild but it not yet in build 515, makes the load and save in TamTam fail.
*** The bug is still there in 517...
* At one point, when in a chat session, the XOs stopped seeing each other on the mesh. For one of them, messages just didn't go through. However, for the other, it sent the message "Kim-B2" has left the chat - but the B2's messages were still able to reach the B4, albeit with a white, nameless XO icon attached rather than the normal icon. See [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/2090 #2090] for more specific info and logs.
* Perhaps related to the above problem of losing communication between XOs when collaborating - I had one XO share a Connect activity and another XO join it. While both XO's appeared on each other's mesh view, the XO that shared never detected that the second XO joined. In the console, each XO is unable to ping each other. However, they still display each other on the mesh view.
* XOs aren't seeing each other as much in the mesh compared to 514. They also appear and drop off randomly, even among two who are sitting right next to each other.
* Shared activity icons sometimes still get stuck on the mesh view after everyone has left them.
* Undo/Redo and Copy/Paste do not work in a shared Write activity. Is this intended to prevent the complexities that arise from two users, or are these supposed to be functional?
* CAMERA Still blurred and screen goes out of right colors when camera activity is on, on a B2-1. -Rowen/ wenmi
** Camera colors still screwed up on B1 as well. --gnu
* Keyboard and Touchpad will freeze after B2 switched to suspend mode and an user resumed it. Rebooting the machine will restore their functionality until B2 suspends. [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/2230 #2230] - Luya Tshimbalanga
* B1 does not suspend when lid closed. --gnu
* B1 suspends OK on power button, screen gradually fades. But keyboard doesn't break it out of suspend. --gnu
* B1 when resumed from suspend with power button, touchpad doesn't work. However, keyboard works (CTRL-ALT-F1), and you can type. Using the touchpad from the F1 screen, produces this message rapidly while touching the pad: "psmouse.c: PenTablet at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost sync at byte 1". I got about twenty such messages, with timing ticks from 88.315121 to 88.867698. --gnu


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


====Programs and other stuff====
* [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/2272 Record breaks after suspend/resume cycle]
* Ran through the 1-Hour Smoke Test:
* [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/2273 Record can't be properly rotated]
* Log Viewer Activity did not function at all. It will not open period.
* Initial keyboard focus in Chat isn't the text entry
* All other applications and features functioned as expected.
* When the initiator leaves the Chat session, he can't properly rejoin
* One time it did not shut down properly (Stayed on until the battery died!) but I have not had any problems since then.
* When a non-initiator leaves the Chat session and returns, there is no "joined" message
* Several other applications downloaded off the Wiki and installed on the XO through USB:
* Activities shared after they are started aren't clustering properly
* SimCity hangs after exiting. All other applications I tested worked correctly.
* Collaboration in general is slow, which I'm sure is known
* "shutdown -r" command does not properly shutdown XO. Regular shutdown methods still function (Mostly).
* The only effects of sharing Record seem to be removing the pupil from the eye button of the non-initiators, and also disallowing them from capturing any images. The live preview shown is of their own camera, and pictures taken by the initiator are not shared.
-- Echo35 - 16:04 EST October 7th, 2008
* Connect isn't share automatically when started from the neighborhood view
* Connect has no "play again" option
* After testing collaboration with 2 B4s, I booted a B3. It could see the B4s, but they could not see it.
* Chat isn't properly handling multiline messages

=== 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 8.2-765 (candidate release) ===
* [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/2213 Bottom half of screen goes blank in Neighborhood view on B2 machines.]
* [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/2215 "Joined the chat" messages in Chat don't display user's name or color.]
* [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/2216 XOs in a shared activity are not always displayed in the frame.]
* In Chat, users in the activity are not displaying properly in the frame. In one instance, the frame did not even show the XO's own icon.
* XOs are now able to find plenty of other XOs and display them on the mesh view, even after rebooting (!)
** Is this [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/2214 bug #2214]? --[[User:CScott|CScott]] 16:23, 16 July 2007 (EDT)
** Was more of an update to indicate a fix to [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/1955 #1955], but I suppose it presents a new problem of its own as #2214 indicates.
* Collaboration in Write works now.
* Browse does not have a default page. When opened you just get a blank screen, and aren't directed to Google. Has no problems loading pages once told to, though.
* XOs are more consistent about connecting to the mesh, but still take ~2 minutes after booting.
* Clipboard selections are no longer all treated like downloads.
* Mesh connectivity indicator is now accurate.
* There doesn't appear to be a way to start a new game in Connect once a player has won.
* Activities now appear to properly fall off the mesh when no one is using them, but only on other XO's screens - NOT on the screen of the XO that created and shared the activity.
* Frame toggle key works again.

=== Build 8.2-763 (candidate release) ===
* [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/2180 Laptops suspend right after boot]. When you first boot this build you can get all the way to the sugar home view, but then within a minute, the system switches graphics mode and goes into suspend. It goes in and out of suspend, but if you start up some activities you may be able to work/test for a while.
==> NOTE: to turn off power manager, open a console window and type: /etc/init.d/ohmd stop
* I was not able to get the XO MPP to work as it had in 502. With 511, I connected one XO to an infrastructure AP and was able to browse; and then booted a second XO and it could never connect to the first one's mesh. In 502 the second XO could browse the web through the Mesh to the first XO.
* [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/2181 Laptops shutdown if adapter is added or removed].
* With two laptops that have no connectivity to a school mesh or AP, they were able to see each other in the neighborhood mesh. When trying to share an abiword doc, I could see the 'Write Activity' in the neighborhood mesh view, but the text was not available, [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/2183 Bug #2183]. If you click on the 'Write Activity' from the neighborhood mesh, you get a new document. IF you click from the journal, you get the saved doc.

*CAMERA ON B2-1 doesn't get enough color. Very slow and it hangs. -ROWEN


'''Install'''
* When the sugar interface resumes, the cursor of the touchpad froze. The test was done from the XO B2.
* 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'''
- Luya
* Started many activities and tested for basic funcationality. Results are now being logged in the test restults page: [[TestResults_8.2.0]]


'''Collaboration'''
==Build 505==
* 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.
[http://olpc.download.redhat.com/olpc/streams/development/build504/devel_jffs2/ChangeLog ChangeLog 504] <br>
* Simple mesh collaborates, connection to an AP, and connection/registration to a school server -- no regressions.
[http://olpc.download.redhat.com/olpc/streams/development/build505/devel_jffs2/ChangeLog ChangeLog 505] <br>
* This build is missing some pieces for proper IP connectivity. Do not use it for AP or mesh testing. Build 502 was better. This build is good for looking at activities.
- Kim


=== Build 8.2-760 ===
* Text color is not selectable from text tab in Oficina, and instead defaults to the currently selected "Shapes" interior color.
* Undo and Redo in Oficina does not work properly with the grayscale function. I can undo the effect, but not Redo it.
* There is no way to remove part of an image in Oficina except with the eraser. I cannot select something and delete it (actually, there's no cut/copy/paste functionality at all).
* Web and Oficina cannot be shared.
* Journal entries that have copied to the clipboard now have a proper icon, but still cannot be pasted.
* Journal is no longer displaying storage devices at the bottom of the screen. That entire area that lets you switch between journal and storage devices has been removed (either that or it cannot detect any of them, but it usually at least displayed the Journal icon anyway).
* Basic Journal features like Go Back and Erase are taking a very long time.
* When using ctl+alt+F3 to return from the console to Sugar, I am automatically returned to the Home view, regardless of whether I was in an activity or mesh view before. Not sure if this is intentional.
* [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/2153 Clicking the "Stop Download" option on a clipboard selection does not stop the download.]
* [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/2147 Text insertion boxes get stuck on canvas in Oficina.]

'''Startup/upgrade'''
* Can't open things from the clipboard. I have tried (new) paint and write activities.
* 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.
* New paint does not have startup notification (throbbing the icon in the donut)
* I upgraded via cleaninstall on 3 laptops. The machines booted and the activity update completed without problems.
- Cameron


'''Network/connectivity'''
==Build 502==
* Connected to open and WEP access points.
[http://olpc.download.redhat.com/olpc/streams/development/build502/devel_jffs2/ChangeLog Change Log] <br>
* When connected to WEP AP, my two laptops at home also saw each other.
* I was able to open two XOs on the train and they came up and saw each other in their neighborhood mesh views! There were no servers or access points anywhere in the vicinity. I was not able to share any activity, but they did see 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.
* I was able to connect one XO to my home WEP AP; after it was up and running with a good connection to the internet, I booted the second XO, and it connected to the local mesh. It made sure it did NOT connect to the AP, but only to the local mesh and it was able to get to the internet through the first XO!
* After a while I tried to share write and they were able to see the write doc.
* Next we have to make the collaboration work...
- Kim


'''Activities'''
* Journal entries are visible again.
* Chat, Write, Record (video, still, and voice), Pippy, Tamtam jam, Browse all started and performed as expected.
* XOs can never detect any access points.
* [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/1950 1950] is still at large - been an issue for a while now.
* Browse shows no Library content! [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/8493 #8493]

'''Ethernet connection'''
==Build 499==
* My D-Link DUB-E100 USB Ethernet adapter does not work with this build. No connection.

* [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/2095 Journal is not displaying any entries.]
'''Collaboration'''
* XOs are constantly losing the ability to access the internet and then gaining it again.
* 29 laptops connected to a school server and running Chat, Browse and (in the case of 3 laptops) also Write survived the overnight collaboration.
* Web is not displaying webpages properly. Sections that are supposed to be white don't fill the window completely.
* 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.
* The mesh connection indicator in home view now sometimes works, and the icons in neighborhood view sometimes blink properly when working, but they still don't a lot of the time. In fact, now, instead of saying that I'm not connected when I am (as was the case in [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/1950 #1950], the bigger problem is it saying that I am connected when I'm not. It may be the case that the mesh network status is changing so frequently that the XO is constantly playing catchup and never actually displaying the current state.

* In Browse, the icon for the "Stop" button in the Browse tab is broken.
- Joe 9/16/08
- John
=== Build 8.2-759 ===
* At olpc I connected to a mesh network that really had no internet connectivity - so I can't ping or browse. Dan suggested this might be the case of an XO that was connected to the internet and then lost its connectivity; but is still advertising a mesh. All of us here will connect to that -- and we can see a few other XOs, but we won't get to the internet if that mesh is not connected. I will write up a few bugs on this.
[http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2008-September/018843.html ChangeLog]
* Clicking on the infrastructure AP worked, updated my laptop IP address, and I was able to get to the internet that way.

- Kim
==== Activities ====
* Still no labels on the login screen

* The following eye is kinda creepy in Record
: '''Etoys:''' Saving fails if project name has non-ascii characters <trac>8212</trac>
* I can't tell which mode I am in, Video or Photo [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/2101 bug 2101], fixed in v14 of Record

* Font in toolbar tabs change color randomly, I have seen mixed black and white, and green [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/2102 bug 2102] marked as a dup of [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/2102 bug 1837]
==== Screen pulsing, out-of-memory ====
* Progress bar in Browse obscures the location url [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/2103 bug 2103]
Twice with 8.2-759 my G1G1 machine has had the screen flash on and off coming out of a "standby" (screen off) state.

[[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.

* 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>.

=== 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>

'''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.

'''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.

== [http://pilgrim.laptop.org/~pilgrim/olpc/streams/update.1/ 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
-[[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.

[[Release_Notes/8.1.0|8.1.0 Release notes]]

Startup:
* Boots fine.
* Joins schoolserver by default.
Activities:
* Measure/Medir: Fine
* TamTamJam:
** Takes about 20 seconds to start/resume.
** The default key to start the drumset (/) is not in the position indicated by the keyboard -- instead it is the -/_ key that activates it.

*** Which files are you downloading? The server needs to have the right mimetype set for the bundles to install.
* Offline
** Opens and downloads fine, however, the Biology (Biologia) pages and the Phyla PDF are in English -- shouldn't they be in Spanish on the Peru build?
***
Playing .ogg file in Browse:
* No issues.
Transfer Files to USB Stick:
* No issues.
Collaboration with Chat:
* No issues.
Collaboration with Distance:
* No issues.

= Firmware Release Notes =
* Has new kernel, including almost all of our current work, including suspend/resume, up to date libertas driver, 2.6.22 kernel, etc. Still lacking:
** frame buffer driver patch for dcon control, ergo dpms/screen saver broken
* X server is FC7 based, but:
** evdev driver not present, so [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/1875 Super-sensitive tap-to-click] is still a problem, and seems to be worse than before; it's to the point of rendering the XO completely unusable.
**[http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/1837 Fonts rendering is broken]; fix should be in next build.
* B2 cannot get on the mesh.
* The icon for closing activities is broken.
* New Journal icon to address [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/1962 #1962.]
* Battery indicator now displays properly.
* Even worse performance problems on B2 than usual. B2 takes ~5 minutes to boot, and sometimes lags severely or hangs indefinitely as soon as the Sugar UI loads - completely unusable.
* [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/2075 Connect sometimes desyncs player turns.]

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

Please write your testing notes here. Thanks! --Michael Stone 18:57, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

http://dev.laptop.org/~bert/8.2-8.2.1.html shows diffs between candidate OS images on the road to 8.2.1 and build 767 (8.2.0)

candidate-801

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 8.2-766 (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. Mchua 13:36, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Fails activation 8715.

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>.

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.

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

Activities:

Browse-95: Viewing source results in a file with incorrect (non-Write/abiword) MIME-type. (<trac>7860</trac>)
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.

Has a bug in activity updater on clean install; "mkdir ~olpc/Activities" from terminal to workaround. Fixed in joyride-2266. Also: suspend may occur during long downloads; issue not yet fixed.

Build joyride-2230

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)

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.
