Testing Summary, Auckland - 26 May 2012 Who: Fabiana, John, Oliver, Tabitha, Tom We tried using the nandblaster to update our XO-1.75s and discovered that it is not suited to our use case as it’s just too slow. We only have a modest number of laptops to update, and we have a reasonably noisy wifi environment. 2 laptops managed to do the update after two full cycles through the image and the rest we did with USB sticks. Perhaps if we had requested more redundancy for error correction, but even if it had completed successfully on the first pass, it would still be slower than flashing from USB, including copying the file onto the USB. If we were doing more laptops or we weren’t actively sitting waiting for them to finish then it would be really useful. olpc-au build 225 11.3.1-au on XO-1.5 Rosella: Paint: OK. Record: Picture ok, movie on low res ok. Movie on high res - after a while it is jumpy with frozen images. Audio seems ok. Memorise: Single player numbers ok . Created game, saved it and played it ok. Measure First start with a lot of noise. Ok on second start. Clicking about does not seem to make it crash like the last time. Robot. asked ‘who makes the babies’ and it returns “/random name/ colon” Why is it saying colon? otherwise seems fine I think the colon indicates a punctuation mark ( : ).For example if the random name was john, then it pronounces as John:. Do you have any other information regarding this? Physics Seems fine hand grab works fine. No surprises there. Olli The sleep function does not seem to work when the activity is running. Ivy: Maze works Speak and robot works Browse - crashed when trying to view the whitehouse.gov website to sign the petition “Require free access over the Internet to scientific journal articles arising from taxpayer-funded research.” Memorize - played one sounds game but it was too quiet to hear if the guitar or drum was playing. Paint - works, can use the tools and add an image from Journal, the grayscale button has extremely different functionality to the rainbow button so I think they shouldn’t be placed together Firefox - the screen looks a bit odd with all the different sizes of fonts, clicked a few links on the front page and they seemed to work (could see lists of books, chemistry and biology page, images list). From the world culture images list pages there are back buttons that don’t work (they say file not found). Music plays from the media section. Maps take a while to load. on closing the firefox window it shows a firefox failed to start screen with a stop button Moon - works Clock - works Tamtam mini - works Stopwatch - works Measure - starts, can adjust settings Implode - works Arithmetic - works Numbers - works GCompris Clickgame - works 12.1.0 os11 on XO-1.75 On Kiwi, write works, including formatting and inserting images from record. On Kotare, started write, created a table and entered a few characters. Then shared within the neighbourhood and write stopped accepting data from the keyboard, cut and past and drag and drop still work, other applications still work with the keyboard, search box in write does not. Had whio freeze after inserting a USB drive after stopping tcpdump As reported last time and the time before, our yum problems persist.

Do you have any other information regarding this? I have other information. I can easily reproduce the symptom using Speak-38 on 12.1.0 os12 on XO-1.75. I agree that colon probably indicates punctuation, but the punctuation should not be pronounced using the word colon. It should be a brief pause. But as it is on the end of an utterance, it need not be pronounced at all. I suggest you raise this specific case with Sugar Labs bug tracker or the Speak maintainer.

Updated battery repair documentation
Hi, I've just published a rewrite of the battery troubleshooting/repair documentation at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XO_Troubleshooting_Battery This is based on recent experiences of battery repair with the help of Richard Smith, adding new techniques and solutions. Also, I restructured the content so that the page is more approachable when you have a broken battery in your hands, and so that the content is more succinct. Follow the Start here instructions step by step and it'll take you to the appropriate section regarding the failure condition that you're dealing with. Another change is that all the content related to diagnosing power/battery problems that are actually related to problems outside of the battery has been moved here: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XO_Troubleshooting_Power to further improve readability. (maybe this new Power page needs a bit of work and more content - help appreciated) Thanks! Daniel ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
Re: Kernel development setup for XO-1.75 [Devel Digest, Vol 76, Issue 15]
?- We currently crosscompile our kernels for development ?-- ? ? ?Untar http://dev.laptop.org/~cjb/gcc-4.6.0-from-x86_64-to-armv7.tar.bz2 to /opt, then PATH=$PATH:/opt/crosstool/gcc-4.6.0/bin/ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabi- ?your make target here ?- We have an autobuilder that makes nice RPMs of the kernels based on our git branches. Once you have a well tested patch, spam someone in our team to get it into the official git repo so that it gets into our RPM'd kernels... Thank you for the info. I tried it on Fedora 14 (that I usually build my XO kernels) I downloaded http://dev.laptop.org/~cjb/gcc-4.6.0-from-x86_64-to-armv7.tar.bz2 extracted it in /opt/crosstools (crosstools-ng is _not_ installed) and then from within the freshly cloned olpc-2.6 I did: `git checkout origin/arm-3.0-wip export PATH=/opt/crosstool/gcc-4.6.0/bin:$PATH export ARCH=arm export CROSS_COMPILE=armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabi- cp arch/arm/configs/xo_175_defconfig .config make zImage modules' and I got: `/opt/crosstool/gcc-4.6.0/bin/armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabi-gcc: /opt/crosstool/gcc-4.6.0/bin/armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabi-gcc: cannot execute binary file' Trying to: `exec /opt/crosstool/gcc-4.6.0/bin/armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabi-gcc' I get: `bash: /opt/crosstool/gcc-4.6.0/bin/armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabi-gcc: cannot execute binary file bash: /opt/crosstool/gcc-4.6.0/bin/armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabi-gcc: Success' Does gcc-4.6.0-from-x86_64-to-armv7 has any other dependencies? `file armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabi-gcc' for example, says: `ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.18, not stripped' Are the shared libraries the ones in the tarball? Is it known to run OK on F14? Finally, all this is running on a 64bit machine (Intel 2x E8135) and although from a VM the CPU is seen correctly as a 64bit CPU. However, Fedora 14 is the i686 and not the x86_64. Could this also be an issue, ie Fedora _not_ being x86_64?

That did it. Compiles fine (so far) in an F15_64 VM.

I wasn't trying to publish a set of cross-compilers, just sharing the cross-compiler that I use myself. If you're on F17 (12.1.0), you can install a cross-compiler with yum; that's a better idea than using mine. sudo yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install gcc-arm-linux-gnu - Chris. -- Chris Ball c...@laptop.org http://printf.net/ One Laptop Per Child ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
[Server-devel] Moodle broken with 0.94 datastore?
Hi All: Just wondering if anybody else is having problems viewing backups created from sugar 0.94 or greater clients? Drilling down though the menus in moodle to view the status results in an error Datastore is corrupt or has an unknown format when trying to view a XO-1.75's current backups. I haven't tried with XO-1.5 yet. I see that there are current entries in /library/user/SN. Any thoughts on how to proceed?
