XO-1.75 Summary (details below):<br>
B1 clock reset breaks yum, makes recovery more difficult<br>
Browse crashed, gained some insight into google docs stability<br>
Chat is much less chatty on the network when used with the<br>
schoolserver, suspend and resume really really good in this situation.<br>
Maze crashes immediately when collaborating<br>
<br>
Power logs attached.<br>
<br>
<br>
build 206 11.3.1-au on XO 1.5:<br>
Rosella:<br>
Record activity - works fine for photo and video. high and low res.<br>
even long ones. But quite quickly the screen goes black - it is not<br>
going to sleep - there is no flashing of the power light and it<br>
continues recording. On Ivy it takes 1 minute to go black. Tabitha<br>
raised the issue that since the screen goes black you might not know<br>
you are being recorded and that might not be a good thing.<br>
On on occasion on Ivy, record showed the preview (with a line of<br>
“noise” pixels at the bottom), but the preview went black during video<br>
recording and the camera light went out. Pressing stop left a busy<br>
pointer. Record exited normally. Log is attached.<br>
<br>
Paint: Seems to be working ok.<br>
<br>
Terminal: The font is too big - true that hitting the zoom button can<br>
make the font smaller, but the large default font makes the welcome<br>
screen look awkward as the ‘welcome children of the world’ sentence<br>
breaks in a wierd place and this remains after zooming down.<br>
<br>
General: The time to ‘sleep’ seems really fast. Even leaving the<br>
laptop unattended for a short time turns the screen black which I find<br>
quite annoying.: <a href="http://dev.laptop.org.au/issues/1173">http://dev.laptop.org.au/issues/1173</a><br>
<br>
Stopwatch - seems to work but I still think it would be nice to be<br>
able to save the times that were marked to use in a different actiity<br>
(like write, to write a lab report) Seems silly that I would have to<br>
write that on paper to transfer to a document.: <a href="http://dev.laptop.org.au/issues/1170">http://dev.laptop.org.au/issues/1170</a><br>
<br>
Calculate: basic functions seem to be working ok. Sort of odd that<br>
when I get an error message not all letters in the message are the<br>
same colour.: <a href="http://dev.laptop.org.au/issues/1174">http://dev.laptop.org.au/issues/1174</a><br>
<br>
Physics: Still have trouble drawing short lines - i see the cursor<br>
track but dont get a line drawn. Is there a minimum length it expects?: <a href="http://dev.laptop.org.au/issues/1148">http://dev.laptop.org.au/issues/1148</a><span style="font-size:15px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline"></span><br>
<br>
Jigsaw puzzle - too much lag when trying to move the pieces - makes it<br>
very difficult to play. This seems to be a problem as the number of<br>
pieces of the puzzle increases (not a problem in the setting for few<br>
puzzle pieces). When I start the actiivty and choose a puzzle it will<br>
not show me the puzzle when I hit solve - need to hit shuffle. Same<br>
with Slider Puzzle activity.: <a href="http://dev.laptop.org.au/issues/1165">http://dev.laptop.org.au/issues/1165</a><br>
<br>
n Editor: When I mouseover the scissors, the drop down covers the<br>
first 3 lines of text - makes it difficult if one is trying to work<br>
on those particular lines. Otherwise seems to be workinng ok.: <a href="http://dev.laptop.org.au/issues/1175">http://dev.laptop.org.au/issues/1175</a><br>
<br>
Compris Click game - seems ok.<br>
<br>
Poll: I can build a poll but after I close, I don't seem to be able to<br>
find it. Where is the ‘choose a poll’ point to? I did save my poll....<br>
I can, however, reopen it from the journal, but it would be useful to<br>
see it on hte choose a poll when i start poll again (I am not starting<br>
as ‘new’).: <a href="http://dev.laptop.org.au/issues/1178">http://dev.laptop.org.au/issues/1178</a><br>
<br>
Measure: Seems ok.<br>
<br>
Slider Puzzle activity: When I start the activity and choose a puzzle<br>
it will not show me the puzzle when I hit solve - need to hit shuffle.<br>
Just like with jigsaw.: <a href="http://dev.laptop.org.au/issues/1172">http://dev.laptop.org.au/issues/1172</a><br>
<br>
Ivy: GCompris click game - when you shut off the lid, the game seems<br>
to continue to play cause the computer keeps making giggly noises -<br>
seems like a waste of battery.: <a href="http://dev.laptop.org.au/issues/1176">http://dev.laptop.org.au/issues/1176</a><br>
<br>
Memorize - really struggle with saving the games you create yourself.<br>
It is not user friendly or intuitive. Found that the only method that<br>
did reliably save your game in the Journal was if you clicked on one<br>
pair of tiles and then clicked on “update this pair”. That doesn’t<br>
seem a relevant method to save the game in the Journal. We spent quite<br>
a lot of time on this using Ivy and Poppy. We wanted to easily be able<br>
to save games that we make for each topic we are studying (so you can<br>
set a homework task to create these games and then share them with<br>
your classmates the next day in each class).<br>
<br>
Shared memorize on ivy on adhoc network and ended up with 6 ivy’s<br>
around the memorize activity! Not sure how this is possible, see:<br>

<br>
TuxMath (Ivy) worked. Suitably irritated everyone around.<br>
<br>
Cartoon Builder (Ivy) worked. Again, it irritated everyone around,<br>
other than the baby who loved it for about two minutes.<br>
<br>
Flipsticks (Ivy) sort of crashed. I posed the stick figure and saved<br>
different poses in each keyframe. Played the frames, changed the<br>
speed. Got black screen. Managed to get to activity ring and start<br>
Terminal to type Top. Found X using 75% of CPU and Flipsticks using<br>
20% of CPU. Waited a long time and eventually got the Flipsticks<br>
screen back, sort of. But the stick figure was moving along half off<br>
the screen which didn’t match the keyframes. On a restart I can reset<br>
the position in each of the keyframes but wonder how they all were<br>
broken.<br>
<br>
Poll (Ivy) works. Would be neat if you could create a poll where the<br>
participants had to choose their answers in order of preference. e.g.<br>
Put the colours into a list from the most liked to the least liked.: <a href="http://dev.laptop.org.au/issues/1171">http://dev.laptop.org.au/issues/1171</a><br>
<br>
Maze (Ivy) worked.<br>
<br>
Moon (Ivy) worked.<br>
<br>
Numbers (Ivy) worked. Got a bit muddled when I was thinking about<br>
BEDMAS but found the game knew what to do so I just had to do my<br>
things in order. e.g. number required was “30” and you have “3 3 7” to<br>
use, so you have to make “3+7=10” then you can make “3x10” as if you<br>
do “3+7x3” you don’t get the right answer. Perfect.<br>
<br>
Visual Match (Ivy) broken. The button with the 5 escaping from a box<br>
has a whole lot of other game styles on it’s sub toolbar but they all<br>
just cause a reshuffle with no change in the tiles.<br>
<br>
Gcompris clickgame (Ivy) - interestingly we could hear this playing<br>
its sounds while we were not using it (yes, I was playing with the<br>
baby). The game didn’t seem to sleep when the computer was idle.<br>
<br>
Clock (Ivy) worked.<br>
<br>
Ruler (Ivy) worked.<br>
<br>
Terminal (Ivy) starts. No further testing done.<br>
<br>
Paint (Ivy) tried most tools but not all, found all that I tried<br>
worked. For the first time, I have noticed that the greyscale button<br>
and the rainbow button being next to each other suggests they are<br>
similar tools when in fact they are not. The greyscale button strips<br>
the colours out of your picture. The rainbow button gives you a<br>
rainbow coloured pen to draw with. Maybe they should not be situated<br>
next to each other.: <a href="http://dev.laptop.org.au/issues/1177">http://dev.laptop.org.au/issues/1177</a><br>
<br>
power logs were not collected last week because my power log collector<br>
attempts to mount ext3 and the filesystem is ext4 and somehow<br>
incompatible. Removing the manual filesystem type option to mount<br>
fixes the situation. I don’t know why I set this option in the first<br>
place? Maybe it makes mounting faster? or it’s only needed on XO-1?<br>
Will test that shortly.<br>
<br>
XO-1.75 os30 testing for OLPC<br>
Discovered one reason for the erratic behavior of yum on XO 1.75.<br>
Bonnie fairly regularly looses the time (known problem in the B1<br>
prototypes), resetting to January 2000, when you use yum to get<br>
ntpdate to fix the time, yum fails with a cryptic message:<br>
<br>
[olpc@xo-6d-6c-3a ~]$ sudo yum install ntpdate<br>
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for<br>
repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again<br>
<br>
Using tcpdump and wireshark we find that the reason is that the<br>
certificate on <a href="http://mirrors.fedoraproject.com" target="_blank">mirrors.fedoraproject.com</a> is not valid until some time<br>
after the year 2000. Maybe we should install ntpdate by default?<br>
<br>
Browse on os30 hung while entering my google password, unfortunately I<br>
wasn’t able to diagnose. The “do you want to save this password”<br>
dialog appeared and wouldn’t go away, with the refresh of the browser<br>
itself behind stuck. The force quit dialog appeared in Portuguese and<br>
I chose the wrong option and killed it :(<br>
<br>
Chat on os30 with schoolserver produces far less traffic than on os29<br>
on adhoc network. We could wait for a laptop to go to sleep and then<br>
send a message in chat and within a second the other laptop wakes up,<br>
receives it and goes back to sleep! Chat seems to have no problems<br>
with sleep or latency when used with schoolserver.<br>
<br>
Discovered a possible reason for unstable google docs on Browse on XO<br>
1.75 -- if someone types fast enough into the doc on another computer,<br>
Browse can’t keep up, you can watch their changes coming in a couple<br>
of words at a time (including words which then get deleted) with a<br>
delay of a couple of minutes. I suspect it will recover if the other<br>
user stops typing for long enough but we didn’t wait long enough. This<br>
would explain why sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't -- it<br>
depends on how fast the changes come.<br>
<br>
Maze crashes almost immediately when you collaborate, I think we<br>
reported this before? There is an exception in the logs (attached).<br>
This happens on all versions we’ve tried recently, not just os30.<br>
<br>
Had record crash once after playing a video.<br>
