Revision as of 12:43, 30 September 2009

By using these testing images, you're morally obligated to test them and to edit this page and report -every single bug you find-, no matter if they're theme flaws, quirks, bugs or crashes. You can optionally also use bugzilla , use version 0.16.

IF YOU SEE ANY MISSING TRANSLATIONS, PLEASE REPORT THEM IMMEDIATELY.

Please send the bug report urls to mer-chatter (see Mer/Awareness ) as well and share your bugs, testing experiences.

Test master is Meizirkki, and can be found in #mer on irc.freenode.net usually and you can ask him if there's some specialized areas that need testing. Take the "Completed" things first. If you are testing, go to #mer anyway. Good place to be.

These images will not be the only ones this week. In N8x0 installer, when it asks for URL=, write URL=http://the.image.intended. Instructions on Mer/Documentation/Installation still apply.

These images may potentially turn your device into a insane machine bent on removing humanity from this earth and may potentially brick your device, so, NO WARRANTY.

Bugs in 0.16testing3

Insert bugs here.

  • [Nokia n810] conflict between libphonon4 and libqt4-phonon packages which is preventing installation of kdepim:
 dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/libphonon4_4%3a4.3.1-0ubuntu3_armel.deb (--unpack):
trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libphonon.so.4', which is also in package libqt4-phonon
  • [Nokia n810] dpad left and dpad down do not have auto key repeat. dpad up and dpad right as well as other keys do.
  • [Nokia n810] GtkTreeView row dragging not working. This worked in 0.15.
  • [Nokia n810] can't install maemopad due to missing libhildonhelp0
  • [Nokia n810] screen calibration menu item does nothing
  • [Nokia n810] app manager crashes:
    • on first start after pressing "Check for updates" button
    • after installing finefm from available applications menu
    • everytime it tries to list available applications after that - this seems to be a timing-related problem. If I try to access the Available applications button immediately on startup, it crashes. If I wait 30 seconds, it works.
  • [Nokia n810] Fn not working in first-boot-wizard - Stskeeps: expected testing4
  • [Nokia n810] onscreen keyboard always pops up during text entry even though built-in hardware keyboard is being used
  • [Nokia n810] display rotation did very bad things. Stskeeps: Did you install Mer kernel with rotation support?. No, just clicked rotation icon in brightness app shortly after first-boot-wizard finished.
  • [Nokia n810] python "import gtk" generated lots of Xlib: extension "Generic Event Extension" missing on display ":0.0". Stskeeps: sadly fairly normal. Only a warning.
  • [Nokia n810] xterm menus messed up. Stskeeps: We are waiting with new osso-xterm because the newer one was broken - it is actually not a matter of translations. Has to be past 0.16 :/
  • [Nokia n810 & SmartQ7] Unable to enter WPA password, dialog box is empty. 0.15 does not have this problem. Stskeeps: I suspect it's due to the movable dialogs problem. Someone revert the movable dialogs patch and see if it work? Meizirkki: no, the dialog is still empty after disabling movable dialogs and rebooting
  • [Nokia n810] hildon-application-manager crashes. Output here.
  • [SmartQ7] After installation, on-screen keyboard is completely white and has no key symbols (Working for me on Q7 /Gnuet) (Works for me --kyelewis)
  • [SmartQ7] USB Networking wont start automatically on boot- needed 'sudo ifconfig usb0 192.168.2.15 up' to get it going- also, if 'up' missed, ifconfig will segfault! --kyelewis. Stskeeps: /etc/network/interfaces show it as being set up. That's weird. (Extra info: Device is actually pingable for about 15 seconds, then at some point during bootup it loses the IP setting --kyelewis). Stskeeps: expected testing4
  • [N800] Power button do no work
  • [N800] Installing gpesummary crashes the desktop, same after reboot (unusable), message is like "cant open /home/<user>/.gpedo" --Eichi
  • [770] starting bluetooth manager kills MER / MRP

Bugs in 0.16testing2

Please test bugs in http://wiki.maemo.org/Mer/Releases/0.15 and see if they still persist. Otherwise add them below:

  • [Nokia n810] Fn not working in first-boot-wizard - Stskeeps: expected testing4
  • [Nokia n800] Could not pass first-boot-wizard "Type your full name" (don´t have a usb keyboard to test with it/screen keyboard do not appear with stylus or with finger) Stskeeps: maemo-launcher wasn't being run, expected fix in testing3 "marshel: fixed in testing3"
  • [SmartQ7] As above, could not pass "Type your full name". No soft keyboard and usb keyboard did not work. as above
  • [SmartQ5 & Q7] Wifi-enabler not working, lacking unzip. The file 47smartq-firmware misplaced and in DOS-format. Stskeeps: expected fix in testing4
    • Workaround: Copy contents of /etc/47smartq-firmware and make new file: /etc/first-boot.d/47smartq-firmware
    • Don't forget to make read/executable (chmod a+rx /etc/first-boot.d/47smartq-firmware) Stskeeps: not needed
    • Install unzip_5.52-12ubuntu1_armel.deb, reboot and presto - wizard runs. Stskeeps: Expected in testing4
  • [SmartQ5 & Q7] Application manager doesn't work. Starts but nothing more.
    • Try plugging in the bluetooth dongle... spooky... (the log shows : get btadapter: No such adapter)

PS.: at 3pm@GMT the trac above cited is offline. Stskeeps: yeah, power cut in my city'.
