Still noticing loss of calibration during normal use.

Any problems with > suspend/resume, wireless, freezes, I want to hear about them. Automatic power management off by default, was this the same for the original 802? I know it's on by default for the F11-on-XO build 8). Also Jabberserver is blank by default, can't remember if this was also blank for the original 802. > = Wireless: Associating to Access Points and debugging = > > Fixed a bug where NetworkManager would -- in a % of connections -- not > realise that the process had succeeded.

Bundled activities that are out of date according to OLPC wiki (41.8Mb worth): Distance-14 --> 17 Measure-24 --> 27 Moon-10 --> 11 Paint-23 --> 27 Pippy-30 --> 35 Record-59 --> 64 Speak-9 --> 11 TamTamEdit-50 --> 51 TamTamJam-51 --> 52 TamTamMini-49 --> 51 TamTamSynthLab-51 --> 52 TurtleArt-10 --> 70 (!!) Additional activity upgrades recommend by activities.sugarlabs.org: Measure-27 --> 29 TurtleArt-70 --> 80 (!!!) Log-16 --> 18 Terminal-18 --> 30 Etoys-94 --> 99 Colors-13 --> 15 Memorize-33 --> 34 Read-56 --> 78 Ruler-3 --> 6 (but can't download from ALSO, Walter can you check the .xo uploaded correctly?) TuxPaint-2 --> 3 Chat-48 --> 66 Implode-5 --> 9 (it didn't want to auto upgrade, had to click v9 bundle in Journal to install) Calculate-25 --> 30 (it didn't want to auto upgrade, had to click v30 bundle in Journal to install) > = Do the activities work? = > > Try out the activities included. Did I break the OS so that any > activities are failing? - Measure-14, 17 and 29 all still raise a "keep error" when trying to stop the activity - Record-64 looses live preview image after first photo, 2nd photo will lock-up up activity. Fiddling with the tabs can recover from the lost preview and stop the 2nd photo lock-up but frame rate badly drops as if it is doing twice the work (Record-59 works fine) - Speak-11 clicking the Robot toolbar tab starts the wait cursor and then lockups the XO requiring a reboot (Speak-9 doesn't have that feature) - Wikipedia activity is in Spanish (a feature given the target deployment I think, but just wanted to note it) - Write is drawing an over-score line over all typed text - TuxPaint-3 fails to launch under 0.82B1 (de-list this huge resource hog of an activity on ALSO if also fails with plain 0.82). It also does not 'upgrade' TuxPaint-2 so you end up with two massive installs (not to mention it still does not support the Journal, or any Sugar standard keys).
