Well smoke testing my XO went mostly fine.
Everything worked except for running external bundles. When I put the Sudoku activity on either one of my flash drives, copying it to the XO didn't end up with a running activity. What happened was that the XO would recognize the files, let me launch the bundle from my flash drive, but it would fail to run. I tried copying it to the XO's memory and got the same result. This happened with two flash drives.
Then when I tried to install the StarChart activity from sugar labs I got an even worse result. The download completed surprisingly quickly but when I opened the journal there was no Icon, unlike the bundle copied from the flash drive. Also telling this downloaded bundle to open yielded... nothing. No error, nothing. The device just acted like nothing happened.
Everything else worked as planned. Audio plays, books can download, connections work everything besides side-loading bundles works fine.
Another thing I noticed was that there was a strange issue where if the laptop was nudged a little bit the wrong way, or if it was having some sort of hissy fit, the mouse would move around like crazy and just kind of click all over the place. Not sure what caused that, it would just seem to happen but I did notice it particularly after accidentally nudging the computer a bit.
Only idea for what could have caused the issues was that I left the XO on battery for a week or so with no charging, and then moved from the Gnome desktop to Sugar with no reboots. A full power cycle may fix some things.
