Frank Cancio — 2013-05-21T18:36:22

Thanks Gonzalo and Mikus. Like Gonzalo said, the process of my last
activity don't die even my activity "window" was closed, that caused
my problems. Until I debugged my activity, I kill the process
manually.

Thanks again

I myself always delete any created .pyo or .pyc files, as well.
[Python creates these from .py files, to speed up execution.]

You can copy your new .py files in the directory.
If the .pyo are older will be updated by python.


You don't need do that if you didn't changed the structure of the saved
file.



Check if the python process of your last activity has really finished.
You can see doing "ps ax | grep python" in the terminal.
If your activity is doing something wrong,
may is not finishing, and the next run can be confused.


No.

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

Frank Cancio — 2013-05-20T14:01:16

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

What version is that? (you can see the number in the list view in the home)


Can you explain a little more what the problem is?

Announcing Q7B31 Q4D30 for XO-4 XO-1.75

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Firmware_q7b31 for XO-4
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Firmware_q4d30 for XO-1.75

* fix for booting a school server with an NTFS filesystem on USB
  drive, #12678, thanks to Braddock Gaskill at Internet In A Box for
  the reproducer,

* an XO-4 device tree fix for Linux audio driver, to improve
  performance of Pygame activities such as Physics and Maze, #12677,

* an XO-1.75 fix to retain the file name part of the /chosen bootpath
  property, #12672.

Boot tested on XO-1.75 (13.1.0-36) and XO-4 (13.1.0-36 and 13.2.0-6).

Re: Auckland Testing Summary 18 May 2013

James Cameron — 2013-05-19T22:37:12

Wow.  Okay.  Ten months ago.


Yes, it would probably predate that.


I suggest not using that build with firmware after Q4D24, because our
fix in Q4D29 probably has a kernel dependency.

Re: Auckland Testing Summary 18 May 2013

Tom Parker — 2013-05-18T21:25:50

Sound doesn't work with Q4D29. This image has kernel 
3.0.19_xo1.75-20120714.1244.olpc.91e4ce2


It doesn't have a /boot/bootfw2.zip


It has olpc-firmware-q4d15-1.unsigned.noarch

Thanks.  This problem was fixed in Q4D29.  Please try with Q4D29?
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Firmware_q4d29


#12637 didn't recommend that, but it did say that the last known
working version was Q4D24.

If au889 contains anything after Q4D24 then it will automatically
reflash next time it has a power cord attached.  I don't know enough
about au889.

The file should be bootfw2.zip in the /boot directory, and it contains
two files, the data.img file will have an md5sum matching one of
these:

1f61697d66aef3f29bbc0dd69a2dd4c7  q4d24.rom
0effc8d732e847b1245da3cb0da1ec5e  q4d25.rom
09baa37cb297cacff565f1a4a0a298b2  q4d26.rom
0d518ab0f9dd63cd64035202674f5be7  q4d27.rom
da7189125f1e37f56d6e36f0dbc05aa7  q4d28.rom
7e443310a1d8c92b1a683fc8113fd900  q4d29.rom

The file is provided by an RPM package, so you may find the version
also confirmed by:

sudo rpm -q olpc-firmware

The download directory for au889 might also have a packages file that
lists an olpc-firmware package version.

Re: Auckland Testing Summary 18 May 2013

Tom Parker — 2013-05-18T05:08:26

Our XO-1.75s had Q4D27 and Q4D28.


How do you tell? I did searched the running laptop's filesystem for a 
.rom file with the goal of installing that version but didn't find one, 
so used Q4D24 as recommended on #12637

Thanks Walter, but Tomeu EatBoom activity use Gnash directly, and I
need run a Flash 10 application, so I need create a WebView instance.
The application run perfectly, but I just can't figure out how close
it from Flash or from JavaScript.

now that we've got several patches on the list for this, perhaps
someone could open a ticket requesting the feature, with the right
patches attached.  i'm sure it will make the someone's job easier. 
target the ticket for 13.2.0.  (and don't wait too long.  that train's

If squashfs module building is activated, you may want to consider xz support too. Is becoming rapidly prevalent and does not increase module size much.
Attached are patches for xo-1.75 (3.0-wip kernel, 3bef06d573cebfdb4ff0d9832f3fc1aea93d22fa) and xo-4 (3.5 kernel, 265e8dda6a55825aca3bb39f6c531522e1d357fc) defoconfigs. They build sane kernels but I could only test XO-1.75 (no XO-4) _______________________________________________
