NOTE: Entering issues on this page does not count as reporting them.

Purpose of Test Group Release Notes
If you are thinking of loading a new image; come to this page first and see if the build you are going to load has any major problems. If it can't even pass the Smoke Test, you probably don't want to use it.

If you don't see anything here on the latest release, please add your notes on smoke test and/or basic functionality to help the next guy.

Regression/Smoke Test

General smoke and regression tests:

1 Hour Smoke Test

Full-build smoke test

This set of test cases represents a quick smoke test that the build should pass. See the smoke tests for a particular release for more details.

  1. Boot into sugar
  2. Check the OS, OFW, kernel from developer's console
  3. Check wireless firmware version: from virtual terminal type ethtool -i eth0.
  4. Connect to a local mesh and see other XOs (this needs to be in a location with no school server or infrastructure AP)
  5. Run 3 collaborative activities concurrently (AbiWord, Connect4, or Chat) with 2 other XOs
  6. Run Browse and ensure that library navigation sidebar and index page loads; successfully browse the internet.
  7. Ensure that the journal loads properly at start and is able to resume an activity.
  8. Connect to an AP (and/or school mesh) and browse the web

Build Joyride 348 - 357

WIRELESS BROKEN

  • as of joyride 348, a new wireless firmware was put in, which is broken

Build 649, Ship.2 Release

1 Hour Smoke Results

  • This build has successfully booted into sugar on WP and unsecured laptops. The journal loads.
  • Tried out a few activities: chat (3way), record (bug with lost pictures is fixed), write, measure, tamtam, browse, paint, pippy.
    • There are some issues with Write shutting down when trying to use it with Chat #5249
  • I successfully downloaded the gmail activity; and ran it; read some mail.
  • I tried to download the Lewis Carrol bundle, but it didn't seem to show up on my library links even after refresh. Can't resume from journal either, so I can't figure out how to see this bundle.
  • Image transfer: It takes a really, really long time to insert an image into AbiWord -- there is no indication that anything is happening, #5175.
    • Private and public invitation to write worked via salut (no jabber service at this time).

Build 642

(should be the same as 641 except that it has security turned off, no ohm, and fewer activities)

1 Hour Smoke Test Results

  • Try out a few activities: Good
    • mime type issue with record still there.
  • Image Transferring and Invite: Good
  • Installing an Activity Bundle: Good
    • GCompris activities aren't working well right now, so I installed implode from the web, which worked fine
    • I installed Watch and Listen 10 from a usb key, which was a bit slow, but worked fine.
  • Installing a library bundle: Broken
    • The downloaded files are still going in /home/olpc/Library, which the index in browse is no longer using. (this was a change made to comply with rainbow)
  • Playing an .ogg file in Browse: Good
  • Transfer files to USB stick: Good
    • again, mime type issues with record still.
  • Collaboration with Chat: Good

Build 641 (first Ship2 candidate)

Wireless update

  • 5.110.20.p4 is on 7 machines that will continue to run all weekend. These machines have HW ECOs, and have removed ohm (rpm -e ohm) since any chance of suspend/resume was causing problems (which continued to plague us during reboot, for instance). They looked good after removing ohm.
  • Another suspend/resume issue is that if you hit the power button on the front of the laptop with or without the power adapter plugged in you could get into a very bad state. trac 5074
  • I was not successful sharing a Write doc across 3 laptops with both text and an image (I didn't try an image alone). This failed in both link local and medialab AP with jabber modes. Most likely the link local problem was a crash in presence. Not sure what the jabber problem is -- Yani tried it again on the same machines and it did share... something intermittent??

  • On a C1 I had to touch /etc/ohm/inhibit-suspend in order to keep wireless up when the machine was unplugged.
  • I failed to connect to the network at a Marriott Courtyard without killing NetworkManager and manually configuring.

- cscott

  • Anything earlier than C2 or laptops with all HW ECOs will require inhibit-suspend. Even with inhibit-suspend, if you hit the 'power' button on the front - you can get strange suspend behavior (5074, above). This is why I have removed ohm.
  • I had a VERY difficult time with the tracpad on one of my C2 laptops after upgrading to q2d04l.rom. It jumped to the lower right corner nearly every time it sensed a new tap; which immediately brings up the sugar frame and causes much frustration. I now understand when people complain about this when it is at it worst.
  • I rebooted, I did the 4 finger salut, and a couple of us tried using it for about 30 minutes. Then I downgraded the OFW and it worked well again. I rebooted a few times and it always came up working well. Then I put the q2d04l.rom OFW back on ... and it still works well. I've rebooted a few times and it still works well. I'm confident that we will get some laptops returned because of this problem. Need to get to root cause.

Build 637

Fixed Bugs

  • The double click bug has been fixed!!
  • Sim City has been added successfully.


1 Hour Smoke Test Results (w/o security or ohm)

  • wikibrowse doesn't load (is a new activity)
    • most likely due to incorrect naming of the py files
  • Inviting with write work
    • It is quite slow though (this is over gabble)
  • Audio and Video files still don't get file extensions when moved to USB
  • couldn't get a library bundle to install correctly
    • it failed to completely download

Build Joyride 305

1 Hour Smoke Test Results

  • Record video/audio files don't show up on the clipboard correctly
  • Invite of write doesn't work
    • No invite shows up on the second XO
    • This is most likely a security bug
    • Probably due to trac bug 4947
  • Since the GCompris activities aren't working right now, I tried downloading and installing Implode
    • The activity bundle downloaded and installed, but it failed to launch due to security
  • I also tried watch and listen 10
  • The library index comes up in browse!
  • The ogg file played in browse, though the progress bar still doesn't move
  • Installing library bundles still doesn't work, though I need to talk to sj about the new way the library works
  • The audio/video files from record still don't transfer correctly
  • Chat collaboration worked fine

Build 297

Libertas - no build yet - Kim


kernel 297 - fatal error 104, 'x' respawning

  • Can't boot

- Kim


xtest 297 - loads, boots into sugar (I didn't do a clean boot, so it didn't ask for name/color);

  • Journal doesn't load
  • Browse doesn't load
  • Chat doesn't load
  • Write loads but you can't type anything and there is a greyed out square area in the upper left (reminds me of the old 404 missing page image).
  • Still has the mouse double click problem; but I was able to connect to my WEP AP
  • Record loads and takes pictures, video, and audio!!
  • Paint loads, draws, can't open journal when you try to load an image
  • Close the lid on my C build machine and a couple minutes later it rebooted (with the lid closed)

- Kim


sugar 297 (plus wireless 5.110.20.p2) - loads, boots into sugar

  • Journal loads
  • Chat loads - but it can't share with neighborhood ('My Neighborhood' never dims once selected, which is usually the indication that it shared properly... and you can't type anything)
  • Write loads but looks just like xtest version - you can't type and there is a strange grey square area.
  • Browse loads; can't find the library redirect (there is a msg about this); you CAN type a url in the browser window... but nothing happens when you hit return.
  • Paint loads and you can draw; but it can't get to the journal for downloading an image. It did resume from the journal properly.
  • Double click mouse problem still exists.
  • Will leave this running overnight to see if 4470 shows up (at home)

- Kim

Build Joyride 273

1 Hour Smoke Test (w/ security turned off)

  • activities are a bit slow to load (though, that's often been the case.)
  • copying audio and video files from record to the clipboard is still broken (4781)
    • this isn't in the test, but it was something I wanted to check, and which was recently broken.
  • write sharing of images is broken.
    • If the XO that shared the file with an image in it moves the image, everything works fine. If the second XO moves the image, it just creates a copy of the image on the second XO, and nothing occurs on the first XO. (ha, actually, I tried it with the mouse on the XO, and it works fine. It's only when I use the attached mouse that it has this weird behavior)
  • sudoku.activity.xo wouldn't start. it installed, but it failed to launch
  • same with electric.xo:
    • I'm guessing there's a problem with the GCompris activities. They were never sugarized, and though they worked before, enough has changed in sugar that it's understandable that they would be broken. I'll turn on logging and write up the bug(s) when I'm done.
    • I tried w&l, and that was able to run fine.
  • installing library bundles is still having problems, but that's broken in 623 as well.
    • the .xol bundles haven't been created correctly for the way in which the library works right now
  • the audio and video files made by record still aren't being given file extensions when transfered to usb (4782, which is a dup of 4783 {can't play in browse})
  • sharing chat: worked both ways. The little XO around the activity doesn't always happen.
    • not sure of the pattern yet, but when I am, I'll write up the bug.

Build Joyride 266

  • (PS) Browse doesn't open with the Library (no trac issue found?) trac bug 4720
  • (PS) Sleep after 40 seconds also powers down USB-HID devices (trac issue tbd)
  • (PS) Browse does not report an error when trying to open a file/directory which it doesn't have access permissions for. Tried with file:///home/olpc #4873

Build Joyride 262

Build Joyride 258

  • Was able to start record and other activities (only tried a few so far)
  • Still no sound in tamtam or when playing back recorded audio.
    • Un-muting the sound in alsamixer will fix this. (still needs to be fixed in the build though)
  • Tried to resume a photo (taken from record) using browser (since record was not an option)... it started the browser but didn't find the picture.
  • Can't connect to standard, open Access Points. trac ticket 4826
    • This is actually the result of single clicks being seen as double clicks trac ticket 4763
  • suspend/resume code has been added. this can result in many problems.
    • your laptop may freeze trying to come out of suspend, and you will have to reboot the machine
    • your laptop may reboot itself when coming out of a suspend. trac 4635

Build Joyride 257

    • 4422
  3. Inviting another XO did not work.
    • The icon did not come up in the tray.
