Auckland Testing Summary 13 October 2012 Who: Alana, Fabiana, John, Oliver, Tabitha and Tom
Rosella: XO-1.5 One Education OS 1.2 (build au248), Firmware Q3C09 with first language Maori and second language English (Great Britain) Moon failed to start, but works if you change the language back to English, log file attached for failed to start case Firefox froze when you press the stop button Tam Tam Mini was mostly translated but the category names (percussion, animal etc for the instruments) were not Record photos and videos worked fine Clock does not speak the time but otherwise works. Changing to English fixes the talking clock. Note that the Days of the week were not translated, but everything else was. Log attached. Screencast encoding was very slow. No translation. Saves to journal. Attempting to play from the journal launches jukebox but the video doesn't play Physics works Numbers works Speak has an english accent and doesn't understand the macrons. The robot greeting "I'm a robot alice..." has been translated but the robot converses in english otherwise. Ivy: XO-1.5 One Education OS 1.2 (build au248), Firmware Q3C07 in English Maze, Memorize, Speak, Moon, Clock, Physics, Arithmetic, Implode, Tam Tam Mini all worked Turtle Machine: Three people (including a neuroscientist and a primary school teacher and a teacher of teachers) all got stuck at level 9 and couldn't get past it. Our school teacher suggests that once you complete a shape you should get told the name but we're not sure what to do when the shapes don't really have names. We also think there should be some sort of hint or help facility. It would also be good to skip a level if you get stuck on it but maybe this is cheating. You don't actually have to do very much for the first levels because all you have to do is click on the number and it auto-advances to the correct value (it jumps values, 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,12,30) and choose one angle less than what is already selected. Perhaps these should be type-in boxes where you have to choose the right angle? Eventually (7 hours later on revisiting the activity) we found there was a library of shapes created that we could reuse. Both One Education builds ask for the users age when you first start the laptop but you cannot enter an age with the keyboard, you have to use the clickers or the arrow keys. XO-1.75 running One Education OS 1.2 (build au48) Moon, Implode, Memorize, Numbers, Slider Puzzle, Dimensions, Clock all work Jigsaw was unusably slow when dragging pieces Screencast stops recording after one second and doesn't save anything in the journal (but it says it does) The vmeta drivers won't load on this XO as they are for a different architecture. Is there any other way to get hardware accelerated video playback working? XO-4 running 13.1.0 for XO-1.4 (build 5), firmware Q7B01 Startup sound has a raspy quality, pressing reasonably hard on the right hand speaker grille seems to make it much better. This laptop didn't shut down properly (perhaps because the shutdown screen isn't always correctly understood) and stayed on in the bag. It doesn't seem to have suffered from this. Touchscreen has an offset which makes using it quite difficult. Is there any further protection for the screen planned? It doesn't feel as robust to impact as any tablet I've used, and the matt finish looks like it might collect scratches. There is a slight misalignment between the game key holes and the game keys. This doesn't seem to stop them working. The front panel finish is glossy with faint tool marks, while the finish on the rest of the laptop is textured. The rotate button doesn't do anything Write works Get Books works but doesn't show icon as being coloured after you use it Read works Wikipedia didn't load any pages, it looked like it started to progress but it didn't Maze works Browse works but clicking in the dark areas of the scroll bar causes the screen to scroll to that absolute position rather than one screenful up or down.
