Re: Some testing notes for OS10 for the XO-1

2009-12-13 Thread Philipp Kocher
Hi Steven

- The scratch sensor board doesn't work (works with build 802)
   I hoped allow olpc access to ttyUSB nodes (from release notes os10) 
would make it work. I added an extract of /var/log/messages at the 
bottom of the email.

- timezone can not be changed in gnome since administration menu is 
missing (changing the timezone in sugar control panel has no effect in 
gnome). And talking about time, I think the clock activity is really 
nice and useful.

- build information OLPC release 11 (Leonidas) in sugar control panel 
is more confusing than helpful. What about 10 (based on Fedora 11)?

 Does it boot consistently into Sugar?  Gnome?
Worked fine here.
 Does sound work?
Yes,no problem.
 Can you suspend?  Does it wake up?
Suspend yes, but no proper wake up as mentioned by other testers
(but the shutdown with the power button is really nice and useful).

Regards,
Philipp

updated olpc.fth for XO-1.5

2009-12-13 Thread Daniel Drake
Hi Richard,

Sorry to turn around on this -- we no longer want the XO-1.5-specific
kernel parameters in olpc.fth since we are now building them into the
kernel.

For future XO-1.5 bootfw releases please replace olpc.fth with the one
included here

This isn't critical - everything still works fine even if all the
parameters are duplicated, but it's something we should clean up

Thanks

Re: Some testing notes for OS10 for the XO-1

2009-12-13 Thread John Maloney
Hi, Steven.

The USB-serial cable that comes with the Scratch Sensor board needs a  
driver from Prolifix. That driver used to be included in the builds,  
but perhaps it was accidentally dropped?

If you use a supported USB-serial adaptor cable, then I think the  
ScratchBoard will work.

I just got a report that sound playback is rough on XO 1.5:

   http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/9375

I'm guessing this is caused by a switch from ALSA to PulseAudio. We've  
seen that on Ubuntu;  we still working to resolve the problem.  
PulseAudio itself has some buffering issues, although it appears that  
folks are working on those. The problems tend to show up more in  
applications where sounds are triggered dynamically, such as Scratch,  
EToys, and games, vs. playing music.

Re: possible progress on XO-1 camera issues

 Hi,

 Jon Corbet's been working on the XO-1.5 camera driver for us, and while
 doing so he found a V4L2 bug which is probably one of the reasons that
 we're having problems with XO-1 camera on all post-8.2 builds.

 The workaround is to build the sensor driver into the kernel, and the
 camera driver as a module.

 I've made the equivalent change for the kernel that has been built here:

 http://xs-dev.laptop.org/~dsd/repos/f11-xo1/kernel-2.6.31_xo1-20091211.1834.1.olpc.813348c.i586.rpm

 Untested, just wanted to get the word out.

 Note that you may have to load the camera driver (cafe_ccic) manually,
 if it doesn't automatically get loaded.

 Word is going round that on a SoaS build for XO (which uses something
 close to OLPC's 2.6.30 kernel, I think), someone recently managed to
 capture a photo from the command line.

 If someone is up for a small task, it would be good to start changing
 these words going round to some actual solid information. Anyone want
 to head up these efforts and to start
 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Reviving_XO1_camera ?
 At the very least it would be nice to have some solid documentation on
 where the problem is (and isn't). Is it in ov7670, cafe_ccic, v4l2,
 gstreamer, xf86-video-geode, or..? How can you tell? Does the above
 kernel help? What's the exact command you can use on F12 SoasXO to take
 a photo? What's the corresponding error if you do that on F11? etc.

I got it working just fine on SoaS beta 4 build for the XO using a
gstreamer pipeline. I was taking .png still images with out issue.

Hi SGers...

I thought I might try helping test the F11 Build 10 on an XO-1.  I have one 
that had a developer key way back in the summer of 2008.  I have reflashed the 
machine numerous times as software updates have arrived... using the No-fail 
Update, which I thought was  supposed to erase everything.

Tonight, when I turned the machine on, I pressed the escape key just for fun to 
see what would happen. It went to the same ok prompt I get on the XO-1.5 O am 
testing.

Did the developer key persist through the numerous reflashings the machine has 
endured in the past year or so or do I need to go pick it up again?

TamTam Mini Quirks In Build 56

2009-12-13 Thread Caryl Bigenho

Hi...

I have been playing with Tam Tam Mini in build 56.  After playing for a while 
it will not allow the machine to go home!  You can access the Journal and go to 
the Activities previously opened (including Tam Tam Mini) but there is no way 
to get back to the home screen.  You have to do a force quit with the power 
button.

I have checked to see if this was a special occurrence but I got it to happen 3 
times total and have no doubt that it will happen again.  Each time, I selected 
a drum set and instrument. Then I just kept playing with the notes and loops 
for several minutes. 

After just a minute or 2, I could still access the home page, but after I kept 
playing for maybe 5 minutes or so... it would no longer go to home.  

I tried this on an XO-1 just to see if it was an old bug.  A few funny things 
happened there, but I was always able to get back to the home screen on the 
XO-1 but not on the XO-1.5.

BTW, I didn't realize that Tam Tam Mini had melodic loops available on the keys 
that aren't assigned to specific notes.  Really cool!  Lots of fun!

Caryl

P.S. The build 59 download just finished. I'll install it now.

Problems with build 59

2009-12-13 Thread Caryl Bigenho

Hi...

Downloaded Build 59 this evening and tried to flash the XO-1.5. It appeared to 
work perfectly, but could not complete restart at the end.

The outline of the XO man appears and dots slowly begin to surround him, but it 
stalls about 2/3 of the way around the circle.

I tried to install it twice. Same results. Maybe it is a faulty download. If 
you think it may be, I can download it and try again tomorrow.

 You probably hit the known problem described in the release candidate

 suspend using Control Panel-Power-Automatic power management, else
 your wireless device will disconnect on suspend and not come back until
 the next reboot.

 Can you confirm that you did not disable suspend before testing

You did not disable suspend, yet there was no suspending at all?  That's
surprising.  The design since about build os49 is that dim screen with
begin at about 15 seconds and suspend will begin at about 25 seconds of
idle.  The suspend doesn't turn off the screen, so you might not notice
it.  The power LED begins to blink at about a five second rate.

Can you confirm that you keep the keyboard and touchpad active, and
never idle for more than 30 seconds?  It is very hard to do that,
especially with other people interrupting.

 The wireless just didn't seem to activate at all. When checking
 'ifconfig -a' the only device shown was the local loopback device
 'lo'.

This is quite consistent with not knowing that an automatic idle suspend
has happened.

 If you are going to try out OS10 for the XO-1 here are a few things that need 
 testing.

Here are my test results on a XO-1 B4.

 Does it boot consistently into Sugar?  Gnome?
Working with Sugar.
A flash on screen during booting of kernel. There is almost no gray
frame when launching activities.

 Any strange lockups?  If so what were you doing?
Problem after resuming from suspend.
Strange behavior on audio recording related parts.

 Can you upgrade packages using yum update from the command line?
This time yum works great. The out-of-memory problem on OS8 seems fixed here.

 Does sound work?
Playing works on all related activities.
Recording at measure sometimes locks up. Working well in record.

 Can you suspend?  Does it wake up?
Suspend works but keyboard/mouse no response when resumed.
If push power button to sleep, touching mouse and keyboard does make
power LED flash. Press power button again resumes but still no keyboard/mouse.

 Please report any issues you have.
When booting, mic LED becomes normal. (used to stay on till HAL loaded)
Stop in lots of activities becomes down arrow. (insufficient space?)
Power setting still not persistent. (OS8)
Droid font works great on CJK web browsing.
Scrolling is still broken. (OS8)
Web cam video doesn't work.
Browser scroll bar shows strange pattern when font-size enlarged.
Chinese translations works well.
Terminal font is too large. Can be fixed by setting font size in
/home/olpc/.sugar/default/terminalrc (was set in OS8)
Booting and (especially) shutdown speed up.
GnomePowerManager can't get battery info.
No firefox installed under Gnome, but default browser is set to FF.
Midori is great, but need to set proper font first. Otherwise, font
display will be very slow, especially for CJK contents. (same for FF3)

Re: Some testing notes for OS10 for the XO-1

2009-12-13 Thread Philipp Kocher
The Prolific driver gets loaded (see logs at the bottom).
The problem are the permissions.
After plugging in the scratch board ll /dev/ttyUSB0 shows:
crw-rw 1 root dialout 188, 0 2009-12-14 09:52 /dev/ttyUSB0

User olpc is not in group dialout which means it doesn't have access to 
ttyUSB0.

After adding olpc to group dialout the scratch board works fine.

 Hi, Steven.

 The USB-serial cable that comes with the Scratch Sensor board needs a
 driver from Prolifix. That driver used to be included in the builds, but
 perhaps it was accidentally dropped?

 If you use a supported USB-serial adaptor cable, then I think the
 ScratchBoard will work.

 I just got a report that sound playback is rough on XO 1.5:

 http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/9375

 I'm guessing this is caused by a switch from ALSA to PulseAudio. We've
 seen that on Ubuntu; we still working to resolve the problem. PulseAudio
 itself has some buffering issues, although it appears that folks are
 working on those. The problems tend to show up more in applications
 where sounds are triggered dynamically, such as Scratch, EToys, and
 games, vs. playing music.

 Hi Steven

 - The scratch sensor board doesn't work (works with build 802)
 I hoped allow olpc access to ttyUSB nodes (from release notes os10)
 would make it work. I added an extract of /var/log/messages at the
 bottom of the email.

 - timezone can not be changed in gnome since administration menu is
 missing (changing the timezone in sugar control panel has no effect in
 gnome). And talking about time, I think the clock activity is really
 nice and useful.

 - build information OLPC release 11 (Leonidas) in sugar control
 panel is more confusing than helpful. What about 10 (based on Fedora
 11)?

 Does it boot consistently into Sugar? Gnome?
 Worked fine here.
 Does sound work?
 Yes,no problem.
 Can you suspend? Does it wake up?
 Suspend yes, but no proper wake up as mentioned by other testers
 (but the shutdown with the power button is really nice and useful).

Re: TamTam Mini Quirks In Build 56

2009-12-13 Thread James Cameron
G'day Caryl,

That problem sounded interesting, so I tested it myself.  I couldn't get
it to happen.  I was using os60, and I don't think anything relevant was
changed between os56 and os60.  I wondered if I was trying to do the
same thing you were.

Could you tell me what action you do to go home?  Do you mean pressing
the Home View or F3 (single green dot in solid green circle) key above
the 4 key?  Or Alt/Tab?  Or Ctrl/Q?

Was an external keyboard attached to the laptop?

Were you holding down any of the modifier keys ... the ctrl, shift,
fn, alt, alt gr, or shift keys?  The Home View key surprisingly doesn't
work if any of those are active.

If you can get it to happen again, could you tell me if any of the
following fixes the symptom without having to restart:

1.  Alt/Tab (which should switch to the Journal or any other running
activity),

2.  Ctrl/Q (which should quit the Tam Tam Mini activity),

3.  clicking on the Stop icon at the top right,

4.  Ctrl/Alt/Erase (which should restart Sugar only without restarting
the operating system),

5.  pressing each of the modifier keys once and then releasing them
before you try the Home View key.  (this would imply a key state is
incorrectly latching, something we've seen before after a resume from
idle suspend, but we thought we fixed it).

Hi James,

I'll fill in my responses in your message. Boy! These builds come along fast.  
I haven't had time to test 59 yet and 60 is here already!

Is there supposed to be a firmware update along with 60? It was mentioned in 
the email Adam forwarded, but there was no link.

I'll try it again. Right now I have 59 installed so I'll use it.  I will also 
time it to see how long it takes to happen. It may be longer than I thought.
 
 Could you tell me what action you do to go home?  Do you mean pressing
 the Home View or F3 (single green dot in solid green circle) key above
 the 4 key?  Or Alt/Tab?  Or Ctrl/Q?

First I clicked on the stop sign icon. That took me to the Journal. I tried the 
F3 key to go home. It didn't work. From the Journal I was able to get back to 
TamTam and to the other Activities in the Journal, but when they were closed I 
ended up back in the Journal. I was locked in!
 
 Was an external keyboard attached to the laptop?

No, just the laptop.  I hope someday a small piano-type will be able to 
interface with the XO.

No, just the Home View key

I'll check it out and let you  know one way or another what happens.

 2.  Ctrl/Q (which should quit the Tam Tam Mini activity),
 
 3.  clicking on the Stop icon at the top right,

Yes, it is included in the build now, and when you next reboot with
battery and external power it will be applied.

Okay, thanks, that's a better description of the symptom.  Interesting.
Seems to be related only to Sugar, based on the available information.

RE: TamTam Mini Quirks In Build 56

2009-12-13 Thread Caryl Bigenho

OK. Tried it again with build 59.  This time it was different.  I played with 
it for about 40 mins with no problems until the sound quit!  I tried it in 
TamTam Jam... no sound. I tried it in Speak... no sound. Rebooted... sound was 
fine!  

This is probably an interesting problem that isn't a problem. How many people 
are going to play with Tam Tam Mini for 40 minutes? Probably not many. And if 
they do manage to crash the sound, they can just reboot.

So, I'll download build 60 now and see what other things I can get to crash!

Re: Some testing notes for OS10 for the XO-1

2009-12-13 Thread Paul Fox
smparrish will correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe the release
you're testing runs powerd, not ohmd.  the presence of the control
panel, and its inability to control powerd's behavior, is a bug,
or an unimplemented feature -- take your pick.

(you can disable powerd if you wish, with initctl stop powerd,
and move /etc/events.d/powerd elsewhere.  then start ohmd as you
did below.)

i'm curious about the keyboard/mouse not waking things up properly,
but i have zero time to look at it currently.

to prevent powerd from suspending the laptop, edit /etc/powerd/powerd.conf,
and adjust the timeout s to something big, like 9.
