Testing olpc au build on XO-1.75 and dextrose on XO-4

One Education OS 1.2 (build au891) on XO-1.75:

The laptop fails to start with a white screen after choosing the name, 
age and colour if you enter a very large age. See 
https://sugardextrose.org/issues/3973 After restarting you get another 
opportunity to enter the name, age and colour and things proceed 
normally if you enter a smaller age.

Write 79
Moa and Mohua - Sometimes you can’t toggle underline or bold if you 
select text across two lines. The behaviour here seems quite complex and 
not consistent. On one occasion we selected two lines and toggling 
underline caused the second line to toggle but not the first.

Moa - Can insert picture, table, change colour and fonts.

Collaboration on write between “nz” and “nzbuild”. Both laptops 
contributions are being added in black (previous builds have had 
different colours for different contributors). When highlighting some 
text and resizing it changed the colour (we did not touch the colour 
palette).

Manage to hang write by clicking on the “export to hypertext button”. 
The export dialog did not appear, write still repainted the screen

[ANNOUNCE] Tiny Core Linux for OLPC XO

Announcing a build of Tiny Core Linux for the OLPC XO.

This is useful for testing, diagnosis, and recovery of filesystems on
an unlocked XO.

My thanks to George Hunt and Yioryos Asprobounitis for all their hard
work toward this.  All I did was pull the strings, I reckon.

Features:

- runs on XO-1, XO-1.5, XO-1.75, or XO-4,

- configured for a single root shell in text mode, with alternate
  consoles available for login,

- based on Core 4.7.6, uses the OLPC kernel from 13.2.0-7, and
  includes latest signed Open Firmware versions for automatic upgrade,

- includes wireless firmware for each laptop, and wireless
  tools from Tiny Core Linux.

Downloads:

c5370f69f3fc18546c480774941d6c11  core-4.7.6-xo-2013-05-24.zip

Instructions:

a.  unzip the file on a USB drive or SD card,

b.  ensure the XO is unlocked,

c.  boot from the media.

Known bugs:

- serial console shell might not start,

- associates automatically with a network named "qz".

We've hopefully fixed this issue now, ready for the next build. If
anyone wants to help test on unsecured XO-4s, the command is: yum
update kernel

Thanks

13.2.0 release candidate 1 (build 7) released

Hi,

We're pleased to announce the first release candidate of our new
13.2.0 software release.

Information and installation instructions can be found here:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_notes/13.2.0

Quick links for those who know which files need to be grabbed and save
to USB disks:
http://download.laptop.org/xo-4/os/candidate/13.2.0-7
http://download.laptop.org/xo-1.75/os/candidate/13.2.0-7
http://download.laptop.org/xo-1.5/os/candidate/13.2.0-7
http://download.laptop.org/xo-1/os/candidate/13.2.0-7

This is a signed release candidate that can be installed on all XOs,
even those with security enabled.

We're looking for any final testing and feedback on all aspects of the
system. Thanks for any help you can offer, and for all the feedback
that was received throughout development.

One significant known issue is an XO-4 crash when it goes into "deep
sleep" with the screen off, which can also be triggered in other
similar sleep modes (#12657). This will be fixed for the next
candidate build.

Changes since the last development build:

Write's document view is no longer corrupted when working in rotated
modes on XO-1.75 and XO-4 (#12339)

Maze no longer spams log files with a harmless sound error (#12677)

Buggy wireless networks no longer disappear from view (#12670)

XO-1.75 speakers no longer become muted after headphone use (#12683)

Squashfs support is present for XO-1.75 and XO-4 (#12682)

The XO-1.75 activation initramfs works again (#12672)

XO-1.75 and XO-4 bootup is no longer interrupted by the presence of an
NTFS filesystem on a USB disk. (#12678)

Thanks!

Exist any Activity cache that ones must be aware while code/deployment/test cycle an Activity?

Hi all,

I developing an Activity for XO-1, sugar 0.94.1 and my procedure to
test on a laptop is simple:

1- Remove the old .py and .pyo files from the
/home/olpc/Activities/MyActivityName

2- Copy the new .py files for /home/olpc/Activities/MyActivityName

3- Remove  from the Journal the entry created by the previous activity
execution.(BTW, how can I do this by command line?)

4- Execute the activity to see the changes I introduced in the new .py copied.

The changes that I'm doing between tests cycle aren't simple, and some
time I have the feeling that the activity I run is not running with my
last changes.

So, my questions is, exist any cache system or I must do anything else
to make sure that the new .py files  get execute and not the code
inside the files I delete?

Thanks in advance
Frank

How make a full screen Flash activity opened using hulahop.webview.WebView close from Flash?

Hi all,

I have Flash activity in which all user interaction is done through
Flash. Basically what I did was create a hulahop.webview.WebView
instance and make it load a HTML (see code at the end) that load a
.swf file in full screen. So far so good, the problem come when I try
close the entire activity from inside Flash UI (with a close button).

One solution I saw was try to enable the "window.close();" JavaScript
sentence and then from the Flash app "execute it". I create a simple
HTML file with just a button and a "window.close();" in the onclick
event and make it work using the Browse activity. For that, I changed
the gecko profile used by the Browse activity (setting the variable
"dom.allow_scripts_to_close_windows" to true). That made possible
close the entire Browse activity using the "window.close();"
JavaScript sentence.  I did the same with my activity but nothing,
even I made it using the same profile that worked for the Browse
activity, but the "window.close();" JavaScript sentence don't work in
my activity.

I think that the problem is related to the way my activity manager the
hulahop.webview.WebView instance. I know Python but I'm a completely
newbie in GTK, Sugar and hulahop, and  is hard to me find out the
problem. I write to this list hoping that someone with the enough
experience in those tech could take few minutes and help me.

Thanks in advance
Frank
