Auckland Testing Summary 20 October 2012
Who: Fabiana, John, Oliver, Tabitha, Tom

13.1.0 for XO-4 (build 7):
The touch screen is working beautifully in this build, with no strange 
pointer, no calibration errors, good accuracy. There is some jiggling if 
you hold your finger motionless on the screen.

The on screen keyboard never appears, even when you select it from the 
frame.

There is no way to get the frame with the touch screen.

While using the mouse pointer, it’s quite easy to have the frame appear 
and then not go away. Briefly hitting a corner with the mouse and moving 
back to the centre will cause the frame to appear after which the only 
way to get rid of it seems to be to return to a corner or use the frame 
key on the keyboard. The problem is not that the frame appears, but that 
it doesn't disappear.

Logging in to google docs crashes Browse.

There doesn’t seem to be any way to right click or hover to get a 
context menu when using the touch screen.

Ctrl-Shift-t does not open a new tab in terminal.

Alt-Tab does not switch windows.

vmeta drivers for XO-1.75 don’t work for playing back video. Does the XO 
4 have the same hardware? Can it use the same drivers?




One Education OS 1.2 (build au49) on XO-1.75 and (build au249) on XO-1.5

Moon doesn’t work in Maori  - fails to start, just gives pulsing icon.

Talking clock doesn’t talk at all when language is set to Maori (as in 
there is no sound). The days of the week are all written on the screen 
in English, while the rest is in Maori.

“Goodbye” in the shutdown screen is not translated to Maori. This might 
be an image rather than a word to translate.

Some of Typing Turtle is not translated to Maori, including the text 
balloons which you are invited to type.

Tuxmath starts and shows the first screen (which is not translated to 
Maori) but crashes on XO-1.75 when you click “Play” with a “cannot 
execute binary file” error in the log. Tuxmath works on XO-1.5.

Once on Rosella (an XO-1.5 with sentelec finger sensing pad) the 
touchpad went crazy, moving rapidly in a vertical line with no 
horizontal motion. Then it stopped moving altogether. It seemed to come 
right after pressing a key on the keyboard.

Rosella also took a very long time to boot (several minutes) on one 
occasion. I eventually noticed it hadn’t booted, switched to a text 
console and by the time I brought a camera in front of the screen, 
booting continued.

Arithmetic doesn’t have a Maori translation.

In Record, high quality does work on XO-1.75, but the quality is very 
very low. Low quality is even lower! It would seem the XO-1.5 and 1.75 
have similar recorded video quality.

The build doesn’t expand to fill the size of the disk, leaving 4GB 
unused on an 8GB laptop.

Get Books and Read work on XO-1.75.

If you rotate maze, the game keys don’t rotate, so things get very 
confusing. The rocker rotates as expected. The playfield also extends 
off the screen in some rotations. Perhaps maze should not support rotation?

On Ivy (an XO-1.5), Tam Tam Mini crashed, with grey screen and 100% cpu 
usage. Please find attached two backtraces from two different gdb 
sessions attached to the same process one after the other. The two 
traces are very similar.

Slider puzzle has incomplete Maori translation

In calculate the Show History link is not translated to Maori

Record’s toolbar shows the stop button in a dropdown even though there 
is room for it when using Maori:

There are three buttons not translated to Maori in Memorize - load game, 
new game and what ever the other button on the create game screen is 
(you try testing with a toddler and remembering buttons!)

Jigsaw Puzzle has not been translated

Thanks testers
