That was the missing puzzle piece. I's still weird to require the USB drive
even after I copied everything to the activity's content folder already. Why?
In any case, it looks like I was mislead by these lines in your code:
cmd = 'cp -r ~/Documents/karma'
cmd = cmd + ' ~/Activities/Learn.activity/content/'
subprocess.call(cmd,shell=True)
Also note that in the new OS, USB drives will not appear in /media anymore.

With the "kls" directory unpacked on the USB drive it works, indeed. But the
other problems are still there - Firefox is not actually wrapped, it appears in
a separate, non-Sugar window, whereas the activity window itself is not used.
But now I can comment on your original mail:

So the activity is in use already? It seemed quite unfinished to me.

The "p4" button does nothing here.

Don't see the "Laboratory" subject.

Found the audio lesson in Explore/examples/1/4.

With "ms02" do you mean "Explore/examples/2"? But clicking the green box does
nothing. Same for the 3rd box labeled "Khan". The first box has a dark blue top
for some reason, the others are light.
Oh. Trying again the tops now are blue too, and I can get to those lessons. Not
quite sure how to get back from the Khan practice though (except for closing
the tab). Is this just a local copy of some webpage from Khan academy?
