--- HUB --- XF --- XS --- XO PC or XO ---> (SSH) --> XF (opens terminal on headless XF machine) PC or XO --> (SSH) --> XF --> (SSH) --> XS (opens SSH terminal window on headless XS machine) XF --> (eLinks HTTP) --> XS (this is my main page for XS school server) XS ---> (eLinks HTTP) <-- XF (this is just the dummy Fedora/Apache test page running on XF) XO channel 1 mess ---> (Browse) --> XS (click "Schoolserver" on Google start page to see XS home) Status: Notes: 1 - Apply image to XO from USB Status (include date tested): pass Notes: Can be done through firmware with copy-nand command Question: Was this test done with developer key? 2 - Connects to Mesh Status (include date tested): pass Notes: 3 - Can browse Internet Status (include date tested): pass Notes: 4 - Can browse cached pages Status (include date tested): pass Notes: 5 - Can browse cached pages when Internet offline Status (include date tested): Notes: 6 - Chat w/ other XO Status (include date tested): pass Notes: Question: "Chat with Other XO" -- Ok, to test chat before, I used my Thinkpad T60 running QEMU using the website "xochat.org" to connect with my XO laptop. If we have ejabberd running on the XS, would I connect my laptop and XO to "ejabberd" and have the XO over the mesh, and the Thinkpad over the Wi-Fi? If not, I will need to borrow my friend's XO for a pure mesh-to-mesh test. 7 - Can access Moodle page and click on all links Status (include date tested): Notes: 8 - Load new activities from server Status (include date tested): Notes: 9 - Can launch Squeak activity from Moodle Status (include date tested): Notes: Question: is this the same as eToys, or did you mean the developers version of Squeak on the OLPC website? 10 - Browse Wiktionary Status (include date tested): Notes: 11 - Play audio from Wiktionary Status (include date tested): Notes: 12 - Play flash videos Status (include date tested): Notes: 13 - Fill up XO’s hard drive Status (include date tested): Fail Notes: When the drive fills up, the app crashes and you are not able to open another app until you free some space 14 - Remove activities manually Status (include date tested): Notes: what does this mean. I have been able to add activities to my XO by downloading the XO files to my Journal and installing them, but the only way I have been able to remove them was dropping down into "Terminal" activity and hacking away at the file trees with "rm" commands. Is there a better way to test this? 15 - Automatic Backup and manual restore Status (include date tested): Notes: 16 - Attempt restore student files over the network Status (include date tested): Notes: 17 - XO can access School server via another XO through mesh, record distance and signal/packet loss Status (include date tested): Notes: 18 - Try to access www.hotsex.com Status (include date tested): Notes: 19 - Access ds.lahai.com/ole/fez Status (include date tested): Notes: 20 - Type in Nepali, save text in Nepali Status (include date tested): Fail 2/12 reported 2/14 by TP Notes: Is there an image I need to install on my XO to be able to read both English and Nepali script? 21 - Sugar appears in Nepali Status (include date tested): partial Notes: The translation is done at http://dev.laptop.org/translate 22 - Hard reboot test Description: Pull the power cord on XS while XO is browsing. Plug it back in and see run connectivity test 0 above to show everything comes back without intervention. Status: Notes: 23 - New Test Idea We should also develop some tools that generate activity, this would help identify memory leaks and what logs needs to be tailed over time.
