Purpose of Test Group Release Notes

The latest stable build is 13.2.11 || 2020-01-29. If you are thinking of going beyond to load a new image: 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 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.

Joyride Builds

Build joyride-2230

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>7640</trac>). Workaround: delete the offending activities and re-run Software Update.

XOs being used for the smoketest are running the following:

Build: Joyride-2230

Firmware: CL1 Q2E12 Q2E

Libertas: 5.110.22.p17

XOs being used for the smoketest are connected to the internet through School Wifi.

Telepathy: gabble

Jabber: schoolserver.media.mit.edu

essid: media lab 802.11

Channel: 11

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.
