Re: 13.1.0 build 36 released for XO-4
Write can collaborate with os36, although it looks like you might be able to share things from the sharing XO-4 and not get data back from joining XOs. Distance when shared over ad-hoc works as well as Chat and Maze through a schoolserver. The distances shown look like they might be close to correct. When registered to a schoolserver Browse logs into Moodle as expected. A secured 1.2 GHz C1 XO-4 can activate itself over wifi from a XS with a delegated lease as well as get updates when "olpc-update-query" is manually run after schoolserver registration. While two activities can play audio at the same time, this does not mean that you can play music in one and record it in Record. Some activities (like TamTam) may try to quiet themselves shortly after you switch focus away from them. Wifi (WMM or similar) power saving is turned off, so the wifi LED will not flash while associated to an AP which supports doing this at this time. Aggressive suspending while the laptop is off is also turned off. There still are some video driver issues like the corrupted cursor upon a full lid-close-using suspend & resume cycle.

Re: VIDEO testing on XO 1.75
Thanks for the instruction and I am getting good quality video playback on the XO 1.75 now! Work on 12.1.0 and 13.1.0 loaded XO 1.75. After seeing how well whaawmp work I won't even bother to play with the JukeBox or Browser as performance is very inconsistent. Is there a way to make a selection whaawmp when I right clik on a video file. Nice if there is a whaawmp launcher via the Sugar interface without need for command line! Have a great weekend. Hope the licensing stuff can be work out and I hope HK is in the +ve side! -Original Message- From: Tom Parker [mailto:t...@carrott.org] Sent: Friday, March 8, 2013 04:11 AM To: tkk...@nurturingeducation.com Cc: w...@laptop.org, devel@lists.laptop.org Subject: Re: VIDEO testing on XO 1.75 On 08/03/13 17:00, tkk...@nurturingeducation.com wrote:> Managed to install the two RPM on a XO 1.75 and do some testing.

Whaawmp works well.Can you share an example ogv video that you are having trouble with?If you use youtube-dl you can get the video files youtube serves, but the version of youtube-dl in f17 doesn't work anymore so you'll have to download the latest version.$ wget http://youtube-dl.org/downloads/2013.02.25/youtube-dl$ chmod +x youtube-dl$ ./youtube-dl -f 22 ahv_1IS7SiE$ whaawmp ahv_1IS7Sie.mp4The above will download the 720p mp4 version of the video from youtube (in this case 120MB or so) and play it with whaawmp. My XO-1.75 running 12.1.0 plays this files beautifully, don't forget to press f to select full screen.You can get the 360p version (36MB) with the following command:$ ./youtube-dl -f 18 ahv_1IS7SiE ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
Re: Changing track
Your last day! Yes everything is hardwork and team work but the joy is things do happen. Yes I am in HK but this year will spent more time in Australia. Incubating the idea of a Learning conference somewhere where things are cheaper and close to HK, Singapre, Thailand, etc .. (hint: Malacca, Malaysia). Participants then fly off for holiday of their choice! Like your writeup on the behind the scene of the making of the XO4. Hope to get my fingers on it soon to create a new level of excitment here!
