Hmm, or can I? *thinks* I remember reading that current XO will still relay mesh packets even in suspend mode. (?)

HID Driver for the XO
Hi, I am developing a driver for a HID device which plugs into the XO. I have developed the driver on fedora 7 and it works fine with the hid device. But when i connect the device to the XO and try to read data from my device, I get a broken pipe error. Can anyone suggest as to what could be different on the XO distribution as a result of which i get this error. Thanks!

Re: new user: no audio from speakers
There must be something else going on here. We test sound on every build. What language laptop do you have? US/English? Can you also provide the serial number? Can you try sound from Record or other activites to see if it is only tamtam. Thanks -- what is the bug number?

Thanks! Well, we still have not had a better idea for the Etoys icon.

Not in build 602 I presume (as it does not work here). Will upgrade and test (but Dan's solution works fine).

csndsugui test/example
Dear all, I have started work on a pygtk-sugar GUI framework for csound, for fast development of activities. I have an initial working prototype and I produced a little test/example activity. If anyone is interested in taking a look/testing on his/her XO, I have put up a distribution (.xo) of this little demo at http://music.nuim.ie/vlazzarini/tmp/ It's called Waves (Waves-1.xo). Suggestions/comments are very welcome.

You can also look for an environment variable named SUGAR_BUNDLE_PATH.

Re: new user: no audio from speakers
I have now updated to 616, and the speakers do indeed now work. Do I need to update the TRAC? The GUI has a lot more activites installed, but also seems to have more slightly flaky behaviour, will try to catalogue and report later on. Rather more text not in English (booting is actually bilingual) ; I can guess most of it but not all! I see some error messages during booting, such as: sdhci: Invalid iomem size You may experience problems Failure reading codec reg 0x7e Is this of any significance?

connect to network?
Another newbie question: is the machine supposed to be able to connect to an "ordinary" wireless network? It finds my router name (and indeed all the other networks alive locally), and asks for my WEP key (and subsequently shows it is on "Canal 11"), but that is as far as I get. ping doesn't work, and the browser activity cannot connect to the internet to find eternal websites. In the absence of a physical network port, this would be the only way I can copy files to/from the X0.

Please file a bug; this should work, and we're interested in chasing it down. Attaching your /var/log/messages file after an attempt would be most useful.

Test-Process Sprint
Dear @sugar and @devel, A proposal was floated at today's security meeting to spend a day (how's Wed. Oct. 17?) working together to improve the processes we use for testing the software on the laptops. Specifically, this means: * Making a "Test Activity" that we can all use to manually execute the test plans stored on the wiki * Teaching interested people how our Tinderbox works so that you can contribute automated tests. * Playing with ways to get better feedback out of activities (i.e. special, machine-readable logging, use of accesibility extentions for scripting, embedding small interpreters, etc) * Making a collection-server and visualizer for the results generated by the "Test Activity" * Going through all of the old test plans, trying them out, and fixing up the parts that no longer apply * Working out the exact written instructions, from start to finish, for running a single activity under emulation. Currently, we're thinking of coordinating this over our usual media: IRC, email, git, and the wiki. To this end, I've put up a signup / coordination page at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Test_Process_Sprint Please sign up there and let us know what you're going to work on, and whether you're going to be working over IRC or if you're able to come to our headquarters in Cambridge (where we'll feed you!). Let's link off from there to pages describing, in more detail, our thoughts on the subjects listed above (and on any other relevant subjects).
