10.1.3/Testing

==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. <br> ==Install testing environment== Follow the instructions at [[Release_notes/10.1.3#Installation]]. <br> ==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. [[File:Sugar_Adhoc_networks.png]] Testing plans can be found in the [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Ad_hoc_Networking#How_To_Test 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. If you only have Xo-1s you can as well let Sugar create the Ad-hoc networks. Enabling them can be done with a gconf command in the Terminal activity 'gconftool-2 --type=bool --set /desktop/sugar/network/adhoc true'. {| border=1 cellpadding=3 style="border: 1px solid white; border-collapse: collapse; background: #e3e4e5;" |-style="background:#787878; color: white;" ! Name !! Works? !! Comment |- | [[User:garycmartin|garycmartin]] | yes || Tested between two XO-1s, one using the gconf change to imitate XO-1.5 behaviour |- |} ===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 case is, to use this Feature to backup Journal entries. More information can be found [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Journal_Entries#Sharing.2FBackup_Journal_entries_using_a_storage_device_9657 here]. {| border=1 cellpadding=3 style="border: 1px solid white; border-collapse: collapse; background: #e3e4e5;" |-style="background:#787878; color: white;" !

You can use olpc-update to update to a new build.

Please note that disabling the XO's internal 802.11 "Radio" in the Sugar Network control panel may disable the ability to use any networking adapter automatically due to the need to work around various other networking issues (#10549). To test external (typically USB based) network adapters either (1) manually configure them or (2) do ''not'' disable the "Radio" checkbox while testing them. {| border=1 cellpadding=3 style="border: 1px solid white; border-collapse: collapse; background: #e3e4e5;" |-style="background:#787878; color: white;" !

With new builds its very easy. Starting with os356 and beyond. Here are the steps you need to add into your testing procedure: # Start with a full charged XO that is plugged up to external power. # Boot the system up and either go to a VT or start up a Terminal activity. # At the shell prompt type: sudo powerd-config =new-pwrlog "<comment about the log>" <comment> can be any descriptive text you want to use about the log. Its mostly just for a human looking at the log. Things like what build, what XO, what battery, etc are automatically added in the log so none of that does has to be in the comment. Perhaps your name and any special circumstances surrounding the test. # Unplug the XO from external power. # Run all of your test suites. # After your final test run is complete either shut the laptop down or do another 'sudo powerd-config =new-pwrlog' to flush the log file. I think I would prefer if you did a shutdown because then I have a nice marker for a successful run. Then tar up all the files in the ~olpc/power-logs and send them to Richard or upload them somewhere on dev.l.o. Its not necessary to have one run per log file or anything like that. Just start on a full battery and go until either you are running out of battery or you are done with your testing. I just want to get some data on what the power usage distribution looks like when people are using the new builds. If you have to restart the laptop for some reason then don't worry about making another new log with 'powerd-config =new-pwrlog' powerd will create a new log when it starts up and I should be able to piece them together manually. {| border=1 cellpadding=3 style="border: 1px solid white; border-collapse: collapse; background: #e3e4e5;" |-style="background:#787878; color: white;" !

The logs are placed in '/home/olpc/.sugar/default/logs'. You can view the logs using the [[Log]] activity as well.
