Re: 13.1.0 build 32 for XO-4 released

[Samuel Greenfeld]

This build is basically usable.  Graphics glitches still exist, as the
video driver has not been updated yet.  The Record activity can now record
audio on XO-4, although Scratch cannot.

If you are working with collaboration with this XO-4 build you should turn
off automatic power management in Sugar.  The disabling of Wake on LAN
support causes the wifi card is powered down every suspend cycle, and
therefore cannot sense if another user does something while the first XO
aggressively suspends.

I saw a case where the 8787 card in a XO-4 C1 claimed to be busy (as seen
by iwlist scan) and could not scan or associate to an AP until
NetworkManager was shutdown  restarted.  This may have caused due to
disconnecting from one AP to connect to another, but nothing obvious was
seen in /var/log/messages to explain the situation.

 Hi,

 Another XO-4-only build is available.

 http://download.laptop.org/xo-4/os/candidate/13.1.0-32/

 (build 31 was an internal-only release and was broken)

 Changes since build 30 are:

 Wake-on-WLAN is temporarily disabled (in /etc/powerd/powerd.conf)
 while we work on stabilising it.

 XO-4 8787 wireless now responds to the packet that woke the system (#12554)

 XO-4 Audio recording works in the record activity (#12889)

 powerd-109: avoid suspending when HDMI is connected

 The system should now then suspend when idle again. (#12538)

 Latest runin tests (#12576)

 Bluetooth tests added to OFW (#12489)

 Latest OFW Q7B19.

I suggest using iw wlan0 scan or iw eth0 scan instead of iwlist.
The later is dead and long replaced by iw. It's the iw interface that
NM uses for scanning and it's AP list will/should align with that of
NM where as iwlist doesn't always.
