Re: plz test Build 802 + Firmware Q2E41 = Candidate Release 8.2.1
A small amount of testing would be very good, yes. We don't expect any changes to be visible outside of the firmware and battery charging (behavior should be better in the presence of batteries with extremely low charge), but we should double-check that everything looks normal. Seems a little strange, I do not remember seeing this before (but it can be that I just did not watch other upgrades). 1. Inserted the USB stick, did a 4 button update with the power plugged in (and then left the stick inserted into the XO). 2. The machine rebooted without pretty boot (the little man with the dots). I could see the linux boot messages with the 1L-X logo on top and that is the strange thing. Then it asked for my name (as in first boot). 3. Then I shut down, and started to see if there was pretty boot. It restarted immediately after talking about the firmware and then updated the firmware. (I have no idea how could it work if the kernel would depend on a feature in the new firware.) 4. Then it started with pretty boot and works not (except the wireless needs the same canceling and then manual connection as I reported hundreds of times). Now wireless does not work with my PRE-N Belkin router (WPA) as usual. When it connects automatically then it throws up the password dialog and no matter what I do it will not connect and shows me the password dialog repeatedly. What I have to do is to cancel the dialog and click the AP icon when it does not blink. Then it accepts (and remembers) the given password. What I did is to look at the suspend/resume process by pressing the power button and what I noticed that after a suspend the XO looses the connection to the AP and it does the exact same thing as after a power up. So after every resume I have to cancel the dialog and connect manually. Another thing is that after extended use the shutdown process halts halfway and I have to press Alt+2 to continue. It then shows the shutdown graphics and then the XO switches off. (It is also a long standing bug.) ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Hi, The update went well, and everything I've tried has worked so far. The only problem I've got is that the keyboard layout was not maintined. I have a keyboard in spanish, but the layout is now an english keyboard.

Updated two systems, both went flawless, then updated software from open wifi, sorry no WPA. Again both worked great. Rebooted my personal system back to teapots Ubuntu, and the new firmware didn't affect it either. So far, all looks good.

Re: plz test Build 802 + Firmware Q2E41 = Candidate Release 8.2.1
As I understand 802 differs from 801 only in the firmware. Is it true? Shall I test 802 if I have been using 801 for a long time? Will anybody fix kernel/X errors if I report them?

Please do report them, but they will probably not be fixed in this release, which will be happening as soon as this last round of smoke testing completes. We might be able to provide you with workarounds, though, or be able to start creating fixes for inclusion in the next release. Filing a bug is generally worthwhile no matter where we happen to be in the release process.
