''On B2-1''
Passed smoke test by Bpepple. Booted and tried by Reuben and Kim. <br>
*Boots into sugar
Cursor control problems reported but not proved worse or better than before.
*Cannot see other XO's on the mesh view (I live in Vancouver, BC).
As a result, cannot verify shared activities with other XOs.
*Can connect to an AP and browse the web.
*Journal can resume activities
*Plug a USB drive, Journal will recognize it.


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) )

*[https://dev.laptop.org/ticket/3594 Record activity take a while to load the camera]
====Startup/Upgrade====
*TamTamEdit initial loading time takes a long time
* 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====
[[user:Finalzone|Luya Tshimbalanga]]
* Activities updated successfully and internet connection successful. Still have not tested a Mesh with multiple XOs

* 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).

'''Install'''
== Build 581 ==
* I did a cleaninstall on one laptop and an olpc-update (from 760) on another. Both upgrades completed and the laptops booted up.
[http://olpc.download.redhat.com/olpc/streams/development/build581/devel_jffs2/ChangeLog Changelog 581]
* 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.


'''Smoke Test'''
'''Activities'''
* Started many activities and tested for basic funcationality. Results are now being logged in the test restults page: [[TestResults_8.2.0]]
*Boots into sugar
*Browses the web, using a server
*Collaboration works over server


'''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.

'''Startup/upgrade'''
''Problems''
* 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.
*Does not boot in QEMU, nor likely VMWare. [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/3470 #3470] [[User:MitchellNCharity|MitchellNCharity]] 18:28, 15 September 2007 (EDT)
* I upgraded via cleaninstall on 3 laptops. The machines booted and the activity update completed without problems.
'On B2-1'
* Attempting to resume Etoys or Record activities will render gray screen.
* Record activity takes a while to load images from camera.
* Memorize activities has no longer memory issues.


'''Network/connectivity'''
Luya
* 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'''
* [https://dev.laptop.org/ticket/3525 Calculate: Operators not inserted in correct location if previous result is longer than 3 characters]
* Chat, Write, Record (video, still, and voice), Pippy, Tamtam jam, Browse all started and performed as expected.
* [https://dev.laptop.org/ticket/3526 multiply and divide keyboard buttons don't work in calculate]
* Reopened [https://dev.laptop.org/ticket/2653 Sugar should recognize audio and video files as such]

'''Smoke test'''
'''Ethernet connection'''
* My D-Link DUB-E100 USB Ethernet adapter does not work with this build. No connection.
*Boots into sugar successfully
*Journal resumes activities
*The index page loads and you can browse the Internet.


'''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.

''Noted Differences''
=== Build 8.2-759 ===
*The journal scrolls much quicker.
[http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2008-September/018843.html ChangeLog]
*XOs around activities are smaller and don't cover the activity icon.
*Everything in the home view is in the colors of the XO.


==== Activities ====
--On a B2-1--
* Journal resumes activity quickly
* ctrl+alt+f1 shows debug messages (good for development)
* Record activity can't capture nor display an image on screen
* AP good with 3 channels (able to see peers in the mesh)
* Browse loads
* Activities load slower - needs optimization
* Donut activity container looks like a pie after some loading of activities.

==== 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 ===
'''Smoke Test'''
[[Changelog_757]]
*Does not boot into sugar


==== Connectivity test results ====
== Build 575 ==
* 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.
[http://olpc.download.redhat.com/olpc/streams/development/build575/devel_jffs2/ChangeLog Changelog 575]
* 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 ====
'''Smoke Test'''
Running <tt>olpc-update 8.2-757</tt> to update from joyride-2301:
*Boots into sugar successfully
* 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.
*Journal resumes activities
* 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.
I don't have multiple XO's so I can't report on the other tests.
-- [[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.
*Ran a collaborative activity over mesh network
* Some laptops were clean-installed as well. One had to be rebooted as the wireless didn't come the first time.
*Browsed using mesh network
* 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.
*Connected to an AP
* 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>.
*Browsed using AP
[[User:Kimquirk|Kimquirk]] 15:37, 28 August 2008 (UTC)


==== Activities ====
''Noted Differences''
*TamTamJam is much changed, and the three TamTam activities are split up in the home view
*There are now three mesh network circles
*There are enough activities in the build, that there is now a scroll bar.


: '''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)

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


'''Miscellaneous:'''
- Alex
: 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.

Many bugs with this build. It doesn't pass basic regression.

* Boots into Sugar
* {{ticket|3132|No access points in the mesh view}}
* {{ticket|3133|Clipboard broken}} - can't save images or text to clipboard
* {{ticket|3134|Sharing document doesn't work}} - no text shows up

'''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.

* On a B2-1

---------


For this build I did some quick testing of sharing write, record, and chat between two laptops on simple mesh.
Smoke results - overall pretty good. Compared to 542 (current shipping build), this one scans only channels 1, 6, and 11, which means you get more reliable connectivity for collaboration in an RF noisy environment:
# Boots into sugar; can see other XOs on school server mesh, can get to internet but the {{ticket|3001|mesh and battery icon aren't correct}}. The battery icon is white, and the mesh icon remains grey even with a good network connection.
# I opened and shared an AbiWord doc. Sharing worked pretty well, a little bit of trouble adding images into docs. Two new bugs were filed: {{ticket|3002|Can't use CTL-C, CTL-V to copy and paste an image}}, and {{ticket|3003|some .jpg images dragged successfully onto the clipboard and some do not}}.
# I tried to {{ticket|3004|share a url through browser sharing}} and the other XOs that see a Browse icon get a new browser window, not the one that I was trying to share. It IS possible to share a url by opening a chat window and using cut&paste to put the link in the chat window.
# The browse activity did NOT provide the sidebar links to the library; only a google search window.
# I was able to resume activities from the journal; but I don't see the activity I was most recently working on unless I search for the activity type (like 'write').


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.
NOTES:
* Camera is still broken; only get one frame at start up and nothing else.
* {{ticket|3007|Paint}} requires that you choose colors by using the eyedropper; and when you paint with a brush or use the paint fill feature, the next mouse click makes the last item disappear.
* {{ticket|3007|Paint doesn't share}}
* There are some activities that are not opening probably related to memory problems.


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

Startup:
Smoke Test (Some issues with connecting to an AP):
* Boots fine.
# Sugar boots up
* Joins schoolserver by default.
# Connected properly to mesh, saw others via link local
Activities:
# Shared Abiword, chat, camera successfully
* Measure/Medir: Fine
# Journal was able to resume from an abiword doc successfully
* TamTamJam:
# I'm currently having trouble connecting to an external AP from within 1CC. This worked at home.
** Takes about 20 seconds to start/resume.
# Need to test item 6 in a different environment.
** The default key to start the drumset (/) is not in the position indicated by the keyboard -- instead it is the -/_ key that activates it.

* Record/Grabar: Fine
Other Notes:
* Paint/Pintar: Fine
* I had to remove the battery and power adapter for a few seconds after upgrading in order to boot up properly.
* Wikipedia: Takes about 20 seconds to start/resume. (Expected)
* To boot with backup edit the olpc.fth file to change 'false' to 'true' in line 11. This will save the activation key as well as user data (including the nickname and color of the XO). If you have never upgraded to code base with activation keys, you will need a different process. (I will try this soon)
* Speak: Fine
* It is not very difficult to 'hang' the mesh and require a reboot to start again. Not sure of exact steps to repeat -- Walter saw it; I've seen it.
* Sudoku: Fine

Image Transferring and Invite:

* Browse opens properly.
Some Notes for the formal Software Release Notes:
* Invite works properly.
* If you are running Tamtam or another activity that uses the speakers, close the activity before suspending the laptop. You can suspend the laptop by closing the lid or pushing the suspend/resume button. If Tamtam or another sound activity is still running, when the laptop resumes from suspend, it will squeal very loudly. To recover, shut down the laptop by holding the suspend button for >5 seconds or remove the battery and adapter for a few seconds.
* No issues.

Installing Activity from USB Key:
* Now that we have made the power button suspend; to shutdown completely, hover over the XO in the home view and click on 'Shutdown'.
* No issues.
* To turn on various activity logs:
Installing Activity from the Web:
# edit ~/.xinitrc and uncomment the line that imports .sugar.debug
* No issues.
# in ~/.sugar.debug, add lines like export JOURNAL_DEBUG=yes
Installing a Library Bundle:
* Backup to School Server: To register with a school server and backup data (for build 542):
* Online
# Open a developer's console
** .xol files downloaded, but while they are present in the journal they are not present in the clipboard, nor in /home/olpc/Library/ -- and thus do not load.
# View the config file to see that you are not registered with any school server; and to get your Serial Number (SN)
*** Which files are you downloading? The server needs to have the right mimetype set for the bundles to install.
# SSH into the school server (for 1CC this is schoolserver.laptop.org); type 'yes' to accept keys
* Offline
# Type 'olpc-register' to register with the server
** 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?
# Reboot for this config file to take affect.
***
# From the Journal, click on the 'Backup' tab, and then the 'Backup' icon.
Playing .ogg file in Browse:

* No issues.

Transfer Files to USB Stick:

* No issues.
==Old Release Notes==
Collaboration with Chat:
* No issues.
Collaboration with Distance:
* No issues.
Trying Different Connection Types:
* No issues, XO started up and connected to the school server by default.
Suspend/Resume Due to Cover Close:
* No issues.

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 8.2-766 (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.

Build 8.2-759

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>

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
Firmware: CL1 Q2E12 Q2E

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.

Build: Joyride-2263
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:

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-48: PDF files do not load.
Record-56: No unexpected behavior.
Write-56: 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.
