Copying contents of Journal to transfer from XO-1.75 to XO-4

2013-07-07 Thread Tabitha Roder
Hi

We are swapping out a classroom of XO-1.75s to XO-4s (known as XO-Duos in
Australia I think). Is there a way of taking the majority of the contents
of the Journal from XO-1.75 onto USB and then putting it into the Journal
of the XO-4s?
I am not too concerned with getting all the data, but would like to at
least get sound, video and images they have created, as well as Write
files. Would be great if we can also get Turtleart projects and other
activity output, so would appreciate any suggestions that people have.
I am familiar with drag and drop the file from the Journal to the USB icon,
but that is one file at a time, so hoping there is another way.

We are planning on installing XO-system 1a (build 49) from Australia.
We are assuming the XO-1.75s have an old Australian build on them but don't
have these details.

We'll be at the school Monday-Wednesday NZ time so hoping for suggestions
or instructions within this timeframe.

Thank you
Tabitha

Maybe, but your moving from sugar .94 to .98. I don't think there are any
datastore issues to deal with.

I would try the backup/restore functionality of Dextrose to accomplish
that. Insert your usbkey / right click on the usbkey's icon in the journal
/ select backup. The backup is stored in usbkey/backups/serial
number/datastore.tar.gz. Change the serial number directory of the
source machine to be that of the target XO-4's serial number. Insert your
usbkey / right click on the usbkey's icon in the journal / select restrore

Good, that has an older version of Dextrose that should work.

Glad to be of service,

x performance problem in webkitgtk

2013-07-07 Thread NoiseEHC

Hi!

Now that I am developing a HTML editor application, noticed a 
performance problem on xo1.75 latest (32011).


The symptom is that text selection is very-very slow in the editor. You 
can test it by opening a long page from wikipedia in epiphany, selecting 
some text with the mouse then pressing shift+up or shift+down. Looking 
at 'top -d 0.3 -p pid of x' shows that while the browser is thinking 
about the selection, the X process consumes all CPU, then the webview is 
updated. The same does not happen if you just scroll the webview. I have 
installed firefox and it does not have the same problem either.


Could you test it on XO-1 and XO-1.5, please?

I think fixing this problem is quite important as it practically makes 
all text editing web applications unfeasible on the XO...


Thanks,
Andrew

Just tested with WikipediaEN that it does not happen on 21021 (12.1.0) 
so it is a regression.

Think you ran into the same root cause as
https://dev.laptop.org/ticket/12718 might be fixed in 13.2.0-12

Re: Headphone volume adjustment

 As a point of interest, the pulseaudio volume control on my desktop
 automatically sets the mute bit on the underlying ALSA device when the
 volume slider is dropped to zero. I presume that behaviour is
 implemented by the pulseaudio core. It is probably done for the same
 kinds of reasons (minimum volume not guaranteed to to be inaudible,
 but muting does the trick).

Some drivers may implement a mute intentionally, but I agree it seems
likely to be pulseaudio.

You can test this by moving the control with alsamixer or amixer.  If
the mute changes state, it is the driver doing it.

If the mute only changes state with pulseaudio driving it, then it is
pulseaudio doing it.
