2009-11.a

RE: Screen Blanking - from what I have seen over 10-20mins of play, the screen did go blank while I was using it (not while idle) but it did not need me to press fn-f7 (or similar), all I had to so was swipe the touch pad. I agree this is more like a screen saver than the problem we were seeing before BUT it still did happen WHILE I was using it. Can this "Screen-Saver" be turned off? I'd rather manually turn the screen off with the power button.

RE: WPA - I had the same problem with the previous release but I hadn't noticed the signal strength indicators blanking when I tried to connect. It might have been doing this before as well.

I also noticed that the Wifi card only connected successfully when plugged into the USB port closest to the edge of the case. I had swapped slots for some reason days earlier but this morning when I was having troubles connecting I tried swapping it back and I was able to connect.

As mentioned I have only played with it for 10-20 mins before work since I upgraded. I will have more time to assess the fixes after work and on the weekend.

i have been using the windows version, which appears to still be missing something. I am in the process of re installing 2009-09.c and will try and update through the TB's updater, i'll let you know how it goes.

kborer22: did you download correctly the sd-card.gz file (341.426 KB)? I just tried now and the updater worked...

glenhawk: strange for the screen. You can disable it with

Code: Select all

xset -dmps s off

You can try the alive script to see if it still happens, it's in /usr/bin/ai/test/ (it does exactly the xset command).

yea that is the file i downloaded, still nothing. I tried the .gz file in /latest as well as the .gz file in /2009-11.a. I'm running windows 7, not sure if that matters at all( although it lets me format the card for 2009-09.c), but the updater says it worked successfully, and then i safely eject the card as recommended . Any other suggestions?

And I'm not sure why but the updater in 2009-09.c does not seem to be any different, how long should it take to fully download the file? What happens when the file has been downloaded? Where does it get downloaded? (maybe it's already there and i just have to run something?)

thanks

kborer: can you go on IRC and ping me in private, so that we can solve your issue more easily, and then post here what was wrong

I haven't noticed the screen blank again yet, maybe I imagined it, maybe I had my Ubuntu SD card in at the time trying to get the network to connect. I will wait and see if it happens again before I try that command

The screen blanking in 2009-11.a seems to be fixed completely. I haven't had any problems with it at all since the upgrade.
BTW, I used sdcard.gz on a new 8GB SD card with Ubuntu 9.10.

Here is what I have noticed so far:

1) While writing in xournal in portrait mode the writing on the screen is about 1/4" below the stylus.
In landscape mode the writing is right where it should be.
The writing is still a little shakey, and hard to read in either orientation, but it is better than before.
2) I still can't find Aisleriot on the TB even though it has been listed as being on the TB since the very first OS. (I must be blind or something).
3) The track pad seems to be more responsive and working better than before.
4) Hulu is working fine.

I have to wait until the weekend to look into it a little more.

The update is still not happening automatically from the update functionality included in the AI OS.

Is that not going to happen?

The update is still not happening automatically from the update functionality included in the AI OS.Is that not going to happen?

Gregoire told at the irc that the updater found in the start-menu wont be working while the os is still in beta.

So No that dont work.

Hmm, ok. then they should correct the front page of the wiki:

http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/wiki/in ... /Main_Page

That states:

Reset the SD card or reinstall the AI OS. Let the system updates itself.

which leads to this page:

http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/wiki/index.php/Updater

Anyway, I tried the instructions for "Reinstall OS" here http://www.alwaysinnovating.com/wiki/in ... install_OS

in the linux section, on an Ubuntu 9.10 system with an integrated card reader / writer.

We have tried both the simple and advanced directions and neither one is working.

Simple never seemed to finish with over 50 minutes letting it run

Advanced gave several errors about "insufficient space" and after the first step it seems to have created a partition but the visible partitions list as 32 gb in the name for the drive.
