Distance fails to start measuring

[greenfeld]

Distance-23 fails to start measuring on OLPC 11.3.0 os2. (Version number was wrong initially.)

Both the starting computer and the one joining the shared session log the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/home/olpc/Activities/Distance.activity/activity.py", line 291, in _helper_thread

dt = arange.measure_dt_seq(self.main_socket, self.initiating, self._change_message)

File "/home/olpc/Activities/Distance.activity/arange.py", line 418, in measure_dt_seq

mls = compute_mls(R)

File "/home/olpc/Activities/Distance.activity/arange.py", line 84, in compute_mls

return LFSR(Rf, [i - 1 for i in taps[n]], 2**n - 1)

NameError: global name 'Rf' is not defined

patch to remove spurious 'f' characters scattered throughout the file

Rafael, you must have not applied the attached patch which cleans up errors introduced here:

 http://git.sugarlabs.org/distance/distance/commit/efd02466335d8f8677d73b8e04bdeefb310aaa48

But upon closer examination, it seems you did apply the patch:

 http://git.sugarlabs.org/distance/distance/commit/f53ad6ef6d23ed069def5c89955fe61069cbc4ff

I don't know how those typos are back in the code.

Maybe greenfield is not trying with an updated repo ?

 http://git.sugarlabs.org/distance/distance/blobs/master/arange.py

mainline shows the corrected version.

If it is fixed in a new activity release please ask dsd or erikos to pull it.

At the moment we should just be pulling the latest from ASLO, and ASLO lists Distance-23 from May 2011 as the latest.

Distance-23 as downloaded from ASLO right now does not appear to have this patch:

    return LFSR(Rf, [i - 1 for i in taps[n]], 2**n - 1)
    returnf (rec_process, f)
    rec_profcess.wait()

Packaged in V24 of distance.
