Hello, a coworker got an old XO-1 and asked me to refurbish it for his kids. So I asked him to test OLPC-OS 12.1.0 build 11 and report any problems he ran into. New users can offer a fresh perspective on things that we give for granted.
Some of the items below could be turned into trac tickets or wishlist items (provide a way to kill activities, provide a way to wipe the user profile, make more activities work in tablet mode...). If you need more information from the reporter, feel free to contact him directly at diegol...@google.com. -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Diego Puppin <diegol...@google.com> To: Bernie Innocenti <code...@google.com> Subject: primo bug report Date: Wed, 23 May 2012 15:24:02 -0400 My older kid (7yr) and I had a lot of fun last with the OLPC. We played maze, we took pictures and more. The younger kid (15mo) seemed confused by the lack of a touch screen :-) - I can't find a way to connect to a network with hidden SSID. I tried to add my network using Gnome, but I couldn't find a "Connect" button there. Back to Sugar, the hidden network is still hidden. - The audio/video system seems unreliable. "Record" takes a long time to start. When I try to record (audio or video) the success rate is around 30% - the activity gets stuck. I can leave the activity but it keeps running in the background (green leds for camera and mike still on). How can I kill the activity entirely? - I found a recording in the Journal, but the Play activity failed with something as "resource busy". - While playing maze, with some gesture I changed the borders from the activity-specific border/menus to a different view. The only way out was the "square" button on top right. What's the gesture in and out of the activity-specific border/menus? - Only maze and collapse seem to work in game mode (rotated screen, use of the joypad). The other activities all requires a mouse. That's too bad. - Is there a way to upload an Epub and use the computer as an e-reader? Is there a mode where the backlight is off (I heard rumors like that)? - Reliability seems an issue. For a reason or another, I ended up rebooting every few minutes when I was switching among apps. When I stuck to play maze, everything was smooth and my kid did a million runs through the labyrinth. Just out of curiosity, did you install a beta build, or is it supposed to be stable? I don't mind "dogfooding", but I would be worried if this is the build going out to the public. - Is there a way to wipe it and restore to factory? You mentioned something like that.
