ANNOUNCE: F11 for the XO-1 build 140py released
by Bernie Innocenti
This is a custom OS image for the XO-1 released by the Paraguay Educa
technology team:
http://people.sugarlabs.org/bernie/olpc/f11-xo1-py/os140py.img
http://people.sugarlabs.org/bernie/olpc/f11-xo1-py/os140py.crc
http://people.sugarlabs.org/bernie/olpc/f11-xo1-py/os140py.img.fs.zip
This release candidate was seeded for field testing in Caacupé
yesterday. If everything goes well, within a few days we'll start
NANDblasting it on all laptops.
Besides the limited language support (we only ship English and Spanish
strings), there's nothing in this build that would prevent its use
outside of Paraguay.
== Changes relative to the previous release (os115 Paraguay) ==
* Append "py" to the image name to avoid confusion with other
OS flavors developed in parallel (me)
* Add activities requested by the education team:
Typing Turtle, Ruler, Analyze, Poll Builder, Jigsaw Puzzle,
Slider Puzzle, Tux Paint, Social Calc, Clock, Colors,
Labyrinth, Physics. (jorge)
* Merge most changes from F11-XO1 changes (smparrish)
* Remove olpc-update and disable the /versions kludge (me, smparrish)
* GSM broadband support: most modems are supported, as long as
they don't require USB mode switching. (tch)
* Basic GUI to backup/restore the Journal to the schoolserver.
We're working with Plan Ceibal to merge this functionality
with their GUI to perform backups to removable media (tch & jorge)
* Sugar updated to 0.84.15 (sugarlabs & olpc)
* Pull latest OS updates from upstream (fedora)
== Bugs fixed ==
* Record does not record sound (alsroot)
http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1244
* NetworkManager crashes on suspend/resume (dcbw, tch)
http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2010-February/thread.html#27505
* "Register" menu item doesn't disappear after successful
registration (km0r3, me)
http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1837
* Can't restore a journal that was backed up to the XS with
Sugar 0.82 (bernie, jorge)
== Known bugs ==
Remaining bugs are summarized here:
http://wiki.paraguayeduca.org/index.php/Devel/Builds/Todo
There are no longer any known regressions relative to the previous
stable build from OLPC (OS801 Paraguay).
Social Calc has known quirks on with the new OS, one of which appears to
be a simple timing issue.
== How to help testing ==
Feedback from the entire community is very appreciated, although there's
not much time left. Bugs belonging to upstream components should be
filed in the usual trackers:
* Sugar and activities: http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/
* Fedora 11: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/
* Drivers and OLPC customizations: http://dev.laptop.org/
* Paraguay-specific bugs: http://trac.paraguayeduca.org/
If you're unsure where a bug belongs to, use the Paragauy Educa tracker.
Please, always assign these bugs to "Carlos", who will keep our status
summary updated.
We're unlikely to dedicate much attention to bugs affecting Gnome and
obscure activities with no active maintainer, but it's still good to be
informed on what is broken. For everything else, we'll do our best, with
the help of OLPC, Fedora, and Sugar Labs.

um, we've had a lot of trouble with XO-1 touchpads, which is what mikus
was using. i think this is the first report of serious erratic
operation on an XO-1.5. :-/

ah. this sounds a lot like tap-to-click. is it possible that
your thumb, perhaps, was touching lightly on the touchpad while you
were typing, thereby moving the cursor?

My XO-1 has security disabled and boots fine. With the exception of the first boot that something on olpc.fth blocks it (with no OFW messages) and never goes to console.
Regarding the freeze at the camera-check boot point, I had it with os129py (not with os140py yet) but I considered it a consequence of my broken camera. Maybe not then.

suspend in XO-1.5
by Mikus Grinbergs
Disclaimer: I am not asking for help; I am sharing my experiences:
I have an unmodified B2. http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XO_1.5_B2 says:
"Operation of the WLAN across a suspend/resume is not supported on an
unmodified B2". Because of this statement, I have not been testing
suspend/resume on my XO-1.5.
At home, I connect via wired ethernet. Today I was at a fest, attending
presentations. I used the XO-1.5 (os118 manually updated with the os119
rpms; Q3A35g; automatic power management is not checked) to view the
fest's on-line schedule of events.
Before each presentation period, I would look at the schedule to decide
which track to attend, then close the lid of the XO-1.5 (the power light
would pulse slowly). At the end of one presentation, I would open the
lid (it immediately showed me the web page), to again decide where to go
next. Several times I clicked on a link within the schedule -- the
browser would show me a new page describing the details of the
presentation whose link I had clicked on.
Given that several times I had the lid closed for 45 minutes, and that
the browser functioned normally as soon as I opened the lid -- I'm led
to conclude that my unmodified B2 *did* support operation of the WLAN
across suspend/resume.

records a few frames of video with Xv" (#10070)
