Introduction

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

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.

Name Works? Comment
Jane Doe yes/no None

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 cas is, to use this Feature to backup Journal entries.

More information can be found here.

Jane Doe yes/no None

USB2VGA Adapter usage

One possible use case: Teacher wants to connect an XO with a projector.

Usage notes at Adding_USB_SVGA. See the '10.1.3' and 'Limitations and Quirks' sections.

Name XO Model and Build USB-SVGA adapter Works? Comment
Martin Langhoff XO-1.5 os358 StarTech.com USB2VGA yes Tested: Sugar, TurteArt, Disconnect/reconnect of the USB device

Home button in Browse activity

The Home button in Browse gives you always the possibility to go back to the defined starting page.

Simon yes nice work!

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.

Name Works? Comment
Pierre-Paul-Jacques yes/no None

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.

Name Version Works? Comment
Pierre-Paul-Jacques 10.1.2 yes/no None


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.

Name AccessPoint/Router Connectivity Type Works? Comment
Pierre-Paul-Jacques Linksys WRT54GL WEP yes/no None


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


Bug Fix testing

For particular bugs you can indicate your test results in this section. This 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.
