Testing Sugar 0.102

This page contains information and resources for testing this Sugar release.

What Should I test
Even though some general testing is required to detect regressions, it is important to give special attention to the new features. Some of these features are:


 * Gender and Age in About Me control panel section.
 * Limited number of activities and instance of activities that can be opened at once.
 * Displaying icons on the Update control panel section.
 * Rework of Network control panel section.
 * Labels for Web Services control panel section.
 * Layout of Languages selection method in control panel section.
 * Filters toolbar in the Journal.
 * Notification system to display messages from system and activities. Features/Notification System
 * Sound adjustment options in the frame, to adjust microphone.
 * Identify external volumes (eg USB drives) by colors.

Testing with a XO
We have created images with the latest Sugar 0.102 sources. These builds are "clean" Sugar Labs images, which do not include any customization.


 * XO-4 41002SL4.zd (md5)


 * XO-1.75 41002SL2.zd (md5)


 * XO-1.5 41002SL1.zd (md5)


 * XO-1 41002SL0.img crc


 * SD images for XO-1 41002SL0.zd

Installing
These images are NOT signed by OLPC, therefore you need an unsecured XO for installing these images. To save some time, you can use this tool.

XO-1
copy-nand u:\41002SL0.img
 * Copy the file 41002SL0.img and the file 41002SL0.crc to a USB device.
 * Boot your XO with the USB device and the charger connected.
 * Go to the ok prompt: At boot time, briefly type the Escape key (top left on the XO keyboard, with a white X in a black disc) when you hear the startup jingle. Do not hold it down. In a few seconds, the FORTH ok prompt appears, along with a hint on help.
 * Type
 * when flashing is finished, you will get the prompt again, type reboot.

XO-1.5, XO-1.75 and XO-4
fs-update u:\41002SLx.zd
 * Copy the file 41002SLx.zd to a USB device. (Every model has a different x number, check above.)
 * Boot your XO with the USB device and the charger connected.
 * Go to the ok prompt: At boot time, briefly type the Escape key (top left on the XO keyboard, with a white X in a black disc) when you hear the startup jingle. Do not hold it down. In a few seconds, the FORTH ok prompt appears, along with a hint on help.
 * Type
 * when flashing is finished, you will get the prompt again, type reboot.

About the SD images for XO-1
These images are a development of James Cameron, to help improve the performance on XO-1 devices.

To install these unsigned builds, you may use fs-update on an XO-1.5, XO-1.75, or XO-4, and then move the SD card.

Alternatively, this Open Firmware fragment: http://dev.laptop.org/~quozl/z/1XCG63.txt can be added to the top of the 41002SL0.zd.zsp file, and then manually loaded from the ok prompt:

ok fl u:\41002SL0.zd.zsp

This will then read the 41002SL0.zd file and store it on an SD card.

Later versions of olpc-os-builder can add this fragment.
