Re: Please help test our new 8.2.0 weekly beta, joyride-2263!
Another thought how difficult would it be to post a summary of the differences between the weekly builds ? ... so it's quick to see what has changed or not between them. (i.e. similar to the 'new joyride released announcements) -iXo p.s. Or shall I just create a TRAC entry on this idea? :) On Thu, Aug 7, 2008 at 14:59, NoiseEHC [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Probably it would help if the linked pages would contain a link to the specified build's directory at http://xs-dev.laptop.org/~cscott/xo-1/streams/joyride/build2263/devel_jffs2/http://xs-dev.laptop.org/%7Ecscott/xo-1/streams/joyride/build2263/devel_jffs2/ Just my 0.02$ Michael Stone wrote: We are thrilled to announce a new test build, joyride-2230, valid until Wednesday, August 13.

Thanks! Michael This isn't really a bug but rather a general observation so I'm not quite sure where to put it... When you're in the software-update panel of the control-panel then there are cancel and ok buttons in the upper right corner. However the ok button seems redundant as they both do exactly the same thing: close the panel and take you back to the main configuration screen. At least that's the case when the software is up-to-date. IIRC you also need to press a button inside the panel for updating when there's new software available which would again make the ok-button redundant.

On first boot, it found my local School Server and up a big Software Update window popped, and said do you want to install all these activities. Colour me impressed. Bravo! Now, who's coded this up? I am keen on devising a way to fetch the activities locally (if an XS is present) via http or rsync. I have an idea -- let's put the same set of activities that it would fetch (locally or over the Internet) right into the OS flash image.

Re: Please help test our new 8.2.0 weekly beta, joyride-2263!
The bottleneck is in the XO hardware that all of the tests run on (and the number of tests we choose to do), rather than in hardware that we can upgrade. I wonder if there is some way to parallelize this across multiple XOs? Not ever XO running every test? Presumably multiple XOs are not the bottleneck any more. -walter ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
Re: Please help test our new 8.2.0 weekly beta, joyride-2263!
2263 hung on a B4 and MP several times while I was testing this evening, the mouse would not move, keyboard did nothing, the display would be static, and no ping response. Things that I did that could induce it: - running a pygame program http://quozl.linux.org.au/k74/ (happened twice, out of two tries), - doing an olpc-update joyride in Terminal, (happened once, out of one try), - clicking to take a picture in Record, (happened once, out of one try), Things that did not induce it: - doing an olpc-update joyride-2269 in a virtual console, I remain puzzled. I've run out of time and awareness to diagnose further, but thought I'd post my observations in case anyone else notices any correlation. Sorry. Not enough data yet. -- James Cameronmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://quozl.netrek.org/ ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
Re: Please help test our new 8.2.0 weekly beta, joyride-2263!
2263 works for me. Something fixed the system crash made by Record I have experienced on 2230 (so I will not file a ticket for that). Speak cannot be started (the icon blinks for a long time and then the application stops starting). What started with 2263 is that when the system wakes the display acts strangely. What I see is similar when there is a noisy (analog) TV broadcast and horizontal distortions run trough the display in a vertical direction. If I am in Browse and switch to the Neighborhood view then sometimes the XO starts drawing the view and for a frame I can see the Browse then it jumps back to drawing. It can be the same thing as the distortion thing or dunno. Maybe a DCON bug or X uses wrong panel settings? My another $0.02 is that it would be a good idea to zip the .toc and .usb files together in every build since 1. Can be compressed to 40% and as such faster to download 2. The .zip file could act as a checksum (it is not too easy to checksum downloads on a windows machine...)
