[Testing] [support-gang] Lost Communication in 10.1.3?

Sun Feb 6 13:44:45 EST 2011

Thanks.  I have the XOs packed away right now.  I will save this message where I can find it and try your suggestions when I get back from Texas on the 15th.  I may have more questions then.

    The XO-1 will only see Ad-hoc XO-1.5 networks which currently have
    XOs connected to them.  It will not show all three Mayan icons
    unless there is an XO-1.5 or other computers creating three Ad-hoc
    networks, one with each of the desired names.   

    You will have to manually connect the XO-1 to an Ad-hoc network; it
    will not automatically do so.

    Unless you told them otherwise, by default all the XO-1.5s likely
    decided to use Ad-hoc channel 1 if they did not see a preferred
    access point, so you should go looking on the 10.1.3 XO-1 for a
    filled color circle with a single dot in it.  If the XO-1.5s were
    near an access point they were taught about, they may have connected
    to that instead.  The ad-hoc networks on the XO-1 with 10.1.3 will
    look like the filled-color (active) networks on the XO-1.5 using the
    XO-1 user's colors to indicate that someone is listening on the
    channel.

    It may take up to 30 or 60 seconds(?) from the time that an XO-1.5
    created the Ad-hoc network to the point that an XO-1 will decide to
    rescan to see what networks are out there.  I'm hoping there are no
    restrictions on rescanning once an XO-1 decides to connect to a Mesh
    network.

    Admittedly the graphic
    http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/File:Adhoc_network_XO-1.png (available
    from http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Features/Ad_hoc_Networking) is
    someone confusing, since the XO-1 in that screenshot actually is
    connected {has parenthesis} to a network which is neither the Ad-hoc
    network spotted (on channel 11 - a dot and two lines) nor the Mesh
    ones.

      OK I think I know what happened.  First a question... how will the
      ad hoc networks look on the XO-1?  They were still targets on
      these.  Maybe I grabbed the wrong usb stick and put 10.1.2 on them
      again... but I don't think so.  

      I didn't see any parenthesis... just that the 2 XO-1s could see
      each other fine, but they couldn't see the 1.5s, even with sharing
      on.  I started the Chat on a 1.5.  Maybe it has to start on a 1.0?

      connect the 1.0 to the network?  They are still showing as access
      points rather than the Mayan numerals on the 1.0s.  Maybe I need
      to do the install again.

      26-27.  When I first started charging and testing I was running
      10.1.2.  I tried Chat and found that the XO-1s could easily chat
      with the XO-1.5s.

      ability seems to have been lost.  While the XO-1.5s connected
      right away to the ad hoc network, the XO-1s were totally left
      out.  They can only see each other.
