Hi all
Here are the links for the defects mentioned against au196 build on XO-1.5.
- Chat is very chatty on the network:
http://dev.laptop.org.au/issues/1146
- ARP requests do not wake a laptop from suspend-resume:
http://dev.laptop.org.au/issues/1147
- Regular “mdns” broadcasts keep waking laptops up:
http://dev.laptop.org.au/issues/1149
- Physics on Tank: Still have the issue of when I draw lines that I see
the cursor trail but does not construct a line -
http://dev.laptop.org.au/issues/1148
- Arithmetic on Tank: it is annoying that I have to wait for several
seconds after I enter an answer and it tells me it is correct before it
goes to the next question: http://dev.laptop.org.au/issues/1150
Regards
Deepak

> I love the ‘countries’ topic. In paises, the clue ‘world champion in 2010”
> (yes, I know it is meant football, but being in New Zealand - land of the
> long rugby history - I’d suggest the sport be named!) the answer is España(with wiggly on the n) which the native English speaking player pointed out
> to the Spanish speaking player requires the player to know how to make ñon the keyboard and not all olpc keyboards have this written on the keys.
> There is a learning curve here if the game is used to teach Spanish to
> others.
> The answer for ‘sirve para informar y los mayores lo leen’ (I suggest
> using the word adutos instead of mayores) - the answer is ‘el periodico’
> which uses the ‘el’ at the beginning, which is not required in other
