Wellington OLPC/Sugar volunteer group - meeting this Saturday 10.30am, Southern Cross

2009-01-29 Thread Tabitha Roder
Hello

Another Saturday is coming up fast and it has been an exciting week! With
Mel Chua visiting us for a WEEK we have had some fantastic opportunities to
tap into her expertise and she is excited about coming to testing this
weekend to see how we roll, with the offer of showing us how to make sensors
for TurtleArt. Mel also eager to learn about and document how the Welly test
group works, because of interest in starting a similar group back in Boston.
Mel also gave us a wee XO gift which we will bring along for you to try out.

Walter gave two presentations (thanks Catalyst for hosting venue and
refreshments, thanks Computer Clubhouse for paying for Walters flights)
about Sugarlabs and has helped us to see different places Sugar can be used
around NZ and the Pacific region.

So usual story:
10.30am kick off at The Cross, 35 Abel Smith Street, see you there!


Kind regards
Tabitha Roder

control panel

2009-01-29 Thread Ties Stuij
We'd like to have the controlpanel updater translated to Nepali, but
it seems sugar-update-control.po isn't in glucose 8.2. It is in
glucose though, we're translating it right now, but my guess is that
the two of them have nothing to do with each other. Is it still
possible to put the .po file in 8.2?

Thanks,

 Really?  Have you done the math?

why reinvent the wheel?

 Cool.

 Any tips as to what to do with these 2 on an XO? The only thing I've done
 with .img and .crc before is copy-nand from firmware – is it possible to run
 them from a usb stick without wiping nand or effecting the existing nand
 install (so we can encourage safe(er) testing of new code)?

You can use copy-nand if you want to install them on the nand. To
install on a usb stick you can follow the Fedora on XO instruction
(with the .iso Soas image). It should be possible to do it from a XO.
See:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestPlans/Fedora10_On_XO#Installing_your_SD_card

It would be good to add this to the Soas wiki page. Let me know if you
have any problems!

2009/1/29 Mikus Grinbergs mi...@bga.com:
 Remember - in addition to new function being tested, there ought to
 be regression testing (especially of vital things like wireless).

I've been doing a lot of wireless testing with no problems. However, I
only have one AP available to me.

It would be useful if affected parties could file tickets for
regressions. This is the way that developers prefer to attack
problems. We had the first one filed yesterday (#9222), thanks!

 hpachas _sj_, los temas de implementación pasan por 3 temas importantes

the implementation themes are split into 3 important ones:

 hpachas _sj_, logistico, técnico y pedagógico

logistics, technical and pedagogical

 hpachas pienso que se deben agendar reuniones en base a los tres grandes
  temas
_sj_ hpachas, los tres!

I think we should aggregate the meetings according to the big 3 themes

_sj_ oh, right, logistics

 hpachas _sj_, en la parte logistica, son muchos pasos que los demás
  paises deben entender como realizarlo

yes in the logistics part there are many steps that the other
countries could learn how to realize

 hpachas _sj_, ahora a eso tenemos que añadir: distribución,
  reparación, sustitución

to that we now need to add distribution, repairs, and substitution

_sj_ hpachas, que es sustitucion?
_sj_ support?
 hpachas _sj_, sustitución = reemplazo de un equipo por otro
_sj_ ah! interestante!

substitution means replacing one machine for another

 hpachas _sj_, son muchas cosas por las cuales nosotros ya hemos pasado y
  estamos pasando

these are many aspects which we have already experienced and are experiencing.

 hpachas _sj_, ahora en el tema técnico, es otro mundo paralelo

in the technical theme, it is a parallel world

 hpachas _sj_, localización, activación, etc, etc

localisation, activation, etc

_sj_ hpachas,  si, muchas muchas cosas importantes

yes many important things

 hpachas _sj_, tenemos q recordar que la parte técnica va en los
  siguientes aspectos: XO, XS, AP, Swhti, Acceso a Internet

we have to remember that the technical parts are split into the
following items: XO, XS, AP, Swhti, Internet Access

_sj_ hpachas, puedes ayudar con los agendas de estos reuniones?

can u help with the agenda of these meetings

_sj_ tienes el gran parte de experiencia con estos

u have the most experience with these items

_sj_ temas, problemas, soluciones

themes, problems, solutions

_sj_ y la compartmentacion entre temas diferentes y paraleles

and the compartimentisation between different parallel themes

 hpachas _sj_, pienso que debemos hacer una evaluación de como se
  encuentran en estos mometnos todos los paises OLPC

I think we should evaluate how the OLPC countries find themselves right now.

_sj_ Swhti?
 hpachas _sj_, quizas tener un site que diga el grado de avance de cada
  pais, ayudaría

maybe have a site that shows the percentage of advancement of each
country would help

_sj_ hpachas, estos discusiones son para los escuelas y paises
  pequenos

these discussions are for schools and smaller countries only

_sj_ solamente
_sj_ pero hay paraleles

but there are parallels

_sj_ ah
_sj_ el mapo con el grado de avance es muy viejo

the map with the percentage advance is very old

_sj_ mapa*
_sj_ hmm
 hpachas ese mapa debe ser interactivo, editable a través de internte

that map should be interactive and editable via the net.

_sj_ hpachas, voy a ver.  si...
_sj_ no tenemos cada uno
_sj_ pere sera valable
 hpachas _sj_, si colocamos el programa OLPC en linea de tiempo, diria q
  empieza por el tema logistico, técnico/pedagógico

If we put the OLPC program in a linear timeline, we could say it
starts with the logistics, and then tecnical and pedagogical.

_sj_ si.  wikitimeline es interesante para eso...

wikitimeline could be used for that.

my 8.2.1 wireless testing results

2009-01-29 Thread Daniel Drake
I have tested 3 access points with staging-21 plus my fixed WEP kernel
that got included in staging-24. I tested as many connectivity modes
as I could and I repeated each connection 3 times. I also compared to
8.2.0. I detected and ignored occurances of bug #8104 by looking in
/var/log/messages every time I saw a failure (this bug appears often,
unfortunately). After successful association indicated by sugar, I
confirmed connectivity by accessing the AP's web admin interface using
Browse.



Edimax EW-7209APG
Open, WPA(TKIP) and WPA2(AES) working fine on both 8.2.0 and 8.2.1
WEP not working at all, not even working for my non-XO laptop.




Generic/unknown device (totally unbranded outside, but web interface
says Realtek is the manufacturer, and apparently the product packaging
said Gi-link). FCC ID PANWA2204A
Open and WEP64 working fine on both 8.2.0 and 8.2.1

WPA:
8.2.0 connects every time
8.2.1 initially failed to connect, AP logs said:
wlan0: A STA is rejected by 802.1x daemon - 00:17:C4:3C:C8:A1
(reproduced 2 or 3 times)
but now it connects fine. I have not been able to reproduce any other
connection failure, despite many retries on both versions.

WPA2:
8.2.0 connects most of the time
8.2.1 connects every time
and as above, I am not able to reproduce any more connection failures
on either version, despite many retries




3com 3CRWE454G72
Open, WEP64 + WEP128: Working on 8.2.0 and 8.2.1
WPA: seems totally broken, can't even connect from my non-XO laptop.




Conclusion from these 3 APs: Open, WEP64 + WEP128 still fully reliable
- no regressions.
WPA and WPA2 are unreliable (for the access points I have here) in
both 8.2.0 and 8.2.1. The results are too inconsistent for me to judge
whether there has been any improvement or regression since 8.2.0.

 Thanks for the pointer.

 When using those functions I receive the following error message:
 RuntimeError: To make asynchronous calls, receive signals or export
 objects, D-Bus connections must
 be attached to a main loop by passing mainloop=... to the constructor
 or calling dbus.set_default_main_loop(...)

Is it an activity? Activities shouldn't need it, but you can see how
the DS sets a main loop for dbus-python to use:

http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/sugar-datastore/repos/mainline/blobs/master/bin/datastore-service

 It seems like a code fragment was missing from the file,
 and in my particular application, I wouldn't mind if those calls were
 synchronous --- how do I do so ?

All the func calls in that example seem to be sync, and there's no
signals neither. So perhaps what raises that issue is
follow_name_owner_changes=True?

I can imagine how that setting may require a loop, but in your case I
think you can drop it.

HTH,

8.2.1 Release Status - Thursday, Jan. 29, 2008

2009-01-29 Thread Michael Stone
Folks,

I just thought I'd offer some unofficial advice on the state of 8.2.1 for
interested listeners:

   a) In the last several weeks, there has been significant package churn at all
  levels of the stack including:

kernel bootanim bootfw olpc-utils libX11 xkeyboard-config sugar-journal
glibc glibc-common
   
  as described in more detail by
 
http://dev.laptop.org/~bert/staging-pkgs.html and
http://dev.laptop.org/~rwh/announcer/staging-pkgs.html
  
  As a result, we're bottle-necked on QA.

   b) Some dedicated volunteers -- notably S Page, dsd, TJB, kimquirk, Hal
  Murray, genesee, tiesj, greebo, Mikus, John Ferlito, and ivazquez (thanks
  all!) -- have done some fine work getting us unstuck on QA!

  In particular, their volunteer wifi testing turned up #9222 which dsd
  thinks he fixed this morning from Paraguay! However, I think that there
  might be more wireless regressions -- please keep trying to break things
  with recent staging builds!

   c) Mitch has worked long and hard on #9045, which was one of the tickets
  motivating this release!

  Today, he delivered a new firmware, q2e30, which you should all help
  test.  It's available in staging = 25 and it needs both serious
  regression testing, e.g.

 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/1_hour_smoke_test

  and some dedicated feature testing according to the test plan laid out by
  Mitch here:

 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Firmware_security#Multiple-Key_Support

  (I had so much fun making my own keys last night that I stayed up after an
  evening out on the town with Henry  friends to help Mitch test this!)
   
   d) Somebody needs to provide appropriate activities for our smoke tests
  (preferably via customization stick) and to make sure that those
  activities are properly listed on the usual laptop.org wiki pages. Help
  wanted!  

  Wade -- is this something that your new activity team would like to help
  with?

   e) In conclusion, 8.2.1 seems to me to have been put back on track by the
  unrivaled commitment of you, our dedicated Friends in Testing. Thanks!

Regards,

Michael

(P.S. - Thanks also to Chris for keeping things rolling by wrangling builds and
tickets at all hours of the day.) :)

(P.P.S. - If you're looking for something to test this week, please try out my
refreshed 

  http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Friends_in_testing

 Wade, great idea! I would love to attend but unfortunately 3 PM EST
 translates to 2 AM Saturday morning.

 I do have an item to add to the agenda, which you and I have discussed
 previously.

 I would love for someone on the activityTeam to document how to easily
 add new instruments to TamTam. I have added this as a High-impact task
 on the ToDo List

 We do have a Nepali volunteer Vrishank Khanal who is trying to figure
 this out. Vrishank is brand-new to linux, programming, and open-source
 so adding instruments to TamTam may be beyond his current abilities if
 the task requires C Programming and/or CSound scripting. He has
 contacted Jean Piche. Let's hope he hears back soon.

 a new firmware, q2e30

On non-secure XOs (i.e., with developer key), q2e30 now by default 
shows pretty boot.  I did not see this same need with every XO I 
tried, but to consistently be able to stop at the 'ok' prompt, I 
sometimes had to press 'check' (for non-pretty boot) when booting.

B2 onwards.  In every case, ESC has worked correctly if you press it 
when you hear the audio jingle.

The only case I've seen where ESC didn't get you to the ok prompt was a 
secured system without a developer key - which is correct behavior.

Here is the release page:  http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Firmware_q2e30

 a new firmware, q2e30
 

 On non-secure XOs (i.e., with developer key), q2e30 now by default 
 shows pretty boot.  I did not see this same need with every XO I 
 tried, but to consistently be able to stop at the 'ok' prompt, I 
 sometimes had to press 'check' (for non-pretty boot) when booting.

FW: [Sur] videos de Rivera, Uruguay (Excellent!)

2009-01-29 Thread Caryl Bigenho

Hi...

Someone in Uruguay has posted two videos showing how they are using the XOs in 
the classrooms.  It is difficult to understand the children at times, but 
someone has put in sub-titles in English. So, for us, that is ok (some of the 
Spanish speakers are having trouble with it though).

There are amazing things in here...how the students and teacher keep in 
constant communication, how the teacher keeps track of what the students are 
doing, how and what they are learning from TurtleArt, how they use email, how 
they figured out how to convert and play YouTube videos, and how the teacher 
uses them as part of the curriculum.  

The tool they used for the subtitles, Overstream, seems pretty fantastic too.  
The possibilities of using it for other things seem endless.

This is really good stuff.  Take the time to check it out!

 Estimados:
 
 En el edublog un maestro de Rivera (Jorge Cancela creo que es su
 nombre, su alias es JUCL) publicó dos videos con una presentación del
 uso de la XO en clase, hecha en conjunto con algunos alumnos. Me
 pareció muy bueno y me pareció que debía ser conocido por mucha gente.
 Sobre todo pienso en quienes trabajan en forma voluntaria para hacer
 el proyecto una realidad y muchas veces no saben qué es lo que pasa en
 los lugares donde se realiza el proyecto.
 
 Entonces le puse subtítulos en inglés y los publiqué aquí:

 ¿Qué les parece? Algunos tramos no entendía bien lo que decían y quedó
 como puntos suspensivos, cualquier sugerencia para rellenarlos será
 bienvenida.
 
 Saludos,
 
 Gabriel

Re: [Testing] Notes from an impromptu 8.2.1 Release Mtg.

2009-01-29 Thread Hal Murray
[Context is WAP connection not getting set via NetworkManager]

I expected this to get fixed in build 24.  I grabbed build 25 since that 
announcement came by before I started pulling things over.

I expected it to fix the startup problem (#9222), but it doesn't seem to be 
working for me.

I've rebooted a half-dozen times.  It has never connected automatically.  It 
works if I poke the icon.  I don't think I could tell the difference between 
this one and 1352.


Did I get confused, or is there another bug lurking here?
