Testing Summary, Auckland - 2 June 2012
Who: Fabiana, John, Tabitha, Tom

Today we tested 12.1.0 os12 on XO-1.75

Installed os12 and updated to the new-old kernel. This was made more difficult 
by needing to find the rpm option to force installation of an old version. 
Found that none of the laptops did the auto-expand filesystem thing after 
booting with the new kernel, reported two different failure modes on #10040.

Had Hoiho freeze when inserting a usb flash drive. This laptop froze last week 
under similar circumstances. Is there anything we can do to diagnose? Currently 
we just hold down the power button and restart it.

Hoiho
Speak - robot can't speak default and doesn't know any answers to my questions
Moon - works
Maze - works
Implode - works
Memorize - seems more confusing to find your way around the activity these 
days... can play all three preloaded games with all three sizes.  Sometimes the 
sound gets distorted and crackly (speaker quality issue or load issue?).
Labyrinth - found that you cannot change the text colour in the central idea, 
only the other nodes
Tamtam mini - if you use the game direction rocker to move between the 
instruments the page doesn’t automatically scroll to show what instrument you 
have selected, but you can use the game circle and cross keys to manually 
scroll. Sometimes the sound gets distorted and crackly (speaker quality issue 
or load issue?).
Clock - no time displayed when you press the “display time in full letters” 
button. Talking clock asks you what time is it, rather than telling you what 
time it is. Reported previously. 
Stopwatch - works
Ruler - works
Simplegraph - oooo we really like this!! so much potential! quickly worked out 
how to add values and labels, though I didn’t read the tool tip and found the 
“remove selected value” was not what I thought it was (expected it to move the 
value and label up the list, like a shuffle values around). Is there a plan to 
add scatter graph? It would be good if you could see the labels on the graph a 
bit bigger font size as they are quite hard to read. I would like to import the 
data in stopwatch (yay! we have been waiting for something for this!) but I am 
wondering how it could overlay the stopwatch data from each watch. It seems to 
be able to import either one stopwatch with multiple marks, or lots of 
stopwatches but only uses the highest time mark. Really looking forward to 
seeing this activity develop. 
Finance works
Physics - something wrong with top 15% of the screen, kind of hidden with 
flashy bits sometimes showing objects there but mostly not. Drew a large 
rectangle on the right that went all the way up, and the top seemed to 
‘vibrate’ between shorter and taller versions. Upon closer inspection, it was 
not the top of the square but actually the top of the canvas that was becoming 
inactive at the top - placing the cursor (or create any object) at the top of 
the canvas made this obvious. 
Record - can take photos
Portfolio - works, took a minute to find a refresh button after going back to 
the journal to add the required stars. is there a way to edit description here 
and it goes into the journal description field? found that if you havent 
labelled images well and there is no preview in journal then its hard to add 
description there, but if you can add the description in portfolio then you are 
sorted, I guess the same argument applies to editing the file name from within 
portfolio too, so maybe i am using the wrong tool!

Kotare
Write - works
Wikipedia EN - still slow but doesn’t crash on back button anymore. 
Wikipedia ES - is faster than before (yay)
Record - can make video and play in Record but can’t play from Journal 
(previously reported)
Getbooks - downloaded a .pdf and viewed it, also downloaded a .pub and viewed it

Moa
Measure - works nice. I captured a few wavefroms and then was able to find htem 
in the journal. They do seem to be ‘images’ - it would be nice to create a text 
file for further analysis. I also liked the measure log where I can retrieve 
some metadata for the traces. 
Turtle art - I like how when I mouse over an element it shows me in the bottom 
what it does -- At first we thought it was an error message!
Simple graph activity - Melikes! Like that you can read from measure  and 
stopwatch although I did not figure out how to do it. This is the type of 
activity that makes a lot of other activities more useful. Yay!
Physics - See Hoiho - same problem
