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.
Please add build release notes below and provide info as to whether the build passed the smoke test.
Build 517
- PDFs don't open from the clipbaord (but do from the Journal)
- Mesh did not connect between laptops (away from any access points)
- Real Video didn't launch from Journal (Helix player not integrated with Journal?)
- One of two machines did not suspend with lid closed
- missing STOP icon in browser
- search doesn't work in the Journal
- Changing the label (in the detail view of the Journal) very slow
Build 515, RC3
Smoke results: passed all tests 1-5; not able to test 6.
- This one should have the developer's console back and the Journal dates corrected.
- 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.
- XOs only see themselves clustered around shared activities in the mesh view.
- Content indexing in Journal is supposed to be fixed, but the search feature still doesn't work. Sorting by activity works fine.
- 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...
- 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.
- 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 #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
- 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. #2230 - Luya Tshimbalanga
- Zack
Build 513/514
- Bottom half of screen goes blank in Neighborhood view on B2 machines.
- "Joined the chat" messages in Chat don't display user's name or color.
- 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 (!)
- 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 511
ChangeLog 508
ChangeLog 510
ChangeLog 511
- 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.
- 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, 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
- When the sugar interface resumes, the cursor of the touchpad froze. The test was done from the XO B2.
- Luya
Build 505
- 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
- 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.
- Clicking the "Stop Download" option on a clipboard selection does not stop the download.
- Text insertion boxes get stuck on canvas in Oficina.
- Selection box in Oficina disappears after moving the selection.
- Oficina activity icon does not share the user's color on the activity donut.
- Fill feature in Oficina does nothing.
- Camera sometimes becomes misaligned.
- Brush size menu in Oficina should not be numerical
- Color in a picture becomes corrupted sometimes in Oficina.
- Using Undo confuses the polygon tool's starting point in Oficina.
- John
- Can't open things from the clipboard. I have tried (new) paint and write activities.
- New paint does not have startup notification (throbbing the icon in the donut)
- Cameron
Build 502
- 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 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!
- Next we have to make the collaboration work...
- Kim
- Journal entries are visible again.
- XOs can never detect any access points.
- 1950 is still at large - been an issue for a while now.
- John
- Still no feed back on Record mode bug 2101
- Font corruption appears to be fixed bug 1837
- can't see my AP so I can't test the Browse bugs
- new login UI (nickname/color)
- esc key does not close any apps still
- paint still does not stop bug 2105
- Frame button does nothing
- Looks like Record still breaks after viewing a video bug 2106
- additionally trying to take photo hangs the activity
-Cameron
- 'Stop Download' appears in the clipboard object context menu for local objects
- White oval (text field?) in clipboard object context menu.
- Clipboard object from Write gets Read's icon
- text-only Clipboard object from Write gets Opened in Web
- Zack
Build 499
- Journal is not displaying any entries.
- XOs are constantly losing the ability to access the internet and then gaining it again.
- Web is not displaying webpages properly. Sections that are supposed to be white don't fill the window completely.
- 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 #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.
- John
- 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.
- Clicking on the infrastructure AP worked, updated my laptop IP address, and I was able to get to the internet that way.
- Kim
- Still no labels on the login screen
- The following eye is kinda creepy in Record
- I can't tell which mode I am in, Video or Photo bug 2101, fixed in v14 of Record
- Font in toolbar tabs change color randomly, I have seen mixed black and white, and green bug 2102 marked as a dup of bug 1837
- Progress bar in Browse obscures the location url bug 2103
- web pages with flash content have serious rendering issues bug 2104
- paint activity will not close bug 2105
- Cameron
- Zack
Build 496
- 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 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.
- 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 #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.
- Connect sometimes desyncs player turns.
- John + Jim
- Zack
- "My Name" and "My Color" don't appear on B4s.
- C-Scott
