Autoinstallation/customization functionality.
Here's a brain dump of functionality for deployments (like, perhaps, Peru) which would like to customize their builds on a large scale. I'm assuming that the cheapest way to do this in the extremely short term is by inserting a USB key into each machine and have some things happen: a) autoinstallation of library bundles. relatively safe; can have different USB keys w/ different bundles for different grades, etc. We assume that school deployments (at this point) have access to at least one USB key. (not unreasonable for the short term.) ( http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/6430 ) b) autoinstallation of activities. a little less safe, but activity isolation makes it reasonable, especially for near-term deployments. c) autoinstallation of dev keys / activiation keys. always safe, required if we deploy limited-time activation leases. ( http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/5709 ) If you're going to install these things on 500 machines in a school, having to mouse through the journal is probably unacceptable. Some implementation ideas: a) there's a callback function after devices are mounted, which can easily be used to run post-mount hooks to do quick+dirty autoinstallation b) Content should live in /home or /security so it persists across updates c) Installing large content bundles via the journal may be impractical if you have to store multiple copies of the content (one as .xol, one unpacked) ( http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/6431 ) Michael and I have been brainstorming mechanisms for automatically customizing a build with RPMs, intended for *developers* (not schools!). See http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/6432 . My personal use case: I want to create a 'joyride' stream which will automatically ensure my laptop is always running the latest joyride, but ensure that git and emacs are always installed. --scott -- ( http://cscott.net/ ) ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

adding
if os.path.exists(device.GetProperty('volume.mount_point') + '.do_not_scan'):
return False
to that method and putting a file named .do_not_scan in the devices
top level directory should prevent it from scanning it.
Thank you. I did the above, and it worked.
I see now that not only did this remove the SD card icon from the
Journal view, it also removed the 'mount' itself (of the SD card).
Not a big deal - I can issue the 'mount' myself.

Re: How to create a new MIME type for a Sugar activity?
I've concluded that the nature of the difficulty I ran into did not come across in what I wrote earlier to the list. I apologize. I was not commenting on the mechanics of ENTERING a mime-type when trying to store an object to the Journal. Rather, I was commenting on __me__ not knowing the list of mime-types (complete with an explanation of under what circumstances should which value be used). Being asked to categorize what I want to be stored can divert my mental focus. The answer for how should *this* object be distinguished from other objects? might not be associated with whatever I was doing before I decided to store this object. Encountering 'enter the mime-type', when __I__ do not have an answer at hand, can derail me completely from my previous lines of thought. mikus ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

I'm going to avoid doing any updates for several days in the hope that this ends up being repeatable. I shrugged off the firsttwo machines having a problem, but after seeing all four that got upgraded act up within a day or so I decided to speakup. And if you are feeling really crazy then there have been a couple of different reports on the community-support list of fixing a jumpy mouse by using moisturizing lotion on the hands. So if you can get a repeatable jumpy mouse I'd love to hear if that really does fix it. If I can repeat the problem I'll try it.

Re: How to create a new MIME type for a Sugar activity?

It does not matter if Etoys has any ability to handle the data. As mentioned earlier, please file bugs for files that Etoys cannot read. All the mimetypes it lists should work. I'm half serious too, as is clear to anybody who has looked at the list of MIME types claimed by Etoys and tried them. Almost none make sense. It's like some kind of land grab. Well, Etoys is a multimedia environment and should handle most media types. For authoring active essays where you combine simulation, text, pictures etc you must be able to access the media. I don't think access the media means that you should claim that you can open the file. When you list a MIME type, you're claiming something more than just an ability to open the file. You're claiming appropriateness as a default handler. I expect that you can open an image without claiming that Etoys is suitable for opening images. If not, then please file a bug for the datastore. Only the application/x-squeak-* things are appropriate. (maybe not even all of those, but I don't know what each type is for) I did try to get clarification on the intention of the mime types declaration from the Sugar guys, but so far I got nothing conclusive. The last response was ... the etoys developers should know if it makes sense initiate an etoys project from a png, I have read good arguments on both side. (#2535) Possibly the understanding of the matter has improved in the last half year? The main problem to me appears to be that it is very simple and discoverable to open an object from the journal, if an activity claims support for its mime type. OTOH, copying an entry from the journal to the clipboard and then testing all activities if they would accept the drop is rather awkward. It doesn't really rhyme with the Journal idea. Would you guess that Etoys can open ZIP archives? Well, okay, by now every subscriber to this list knows ;) But seriously, if Etoys was not made the default handler for a mime type (which is not Etoys' fault), what harm does it do to announce its ability to open that file? - Bert - ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

It would also allow the ordinary WiFi to go into ordinary 802.11 power saving mode (which negotiates with the access point so that transmissions from the access point to the laptop will only occur during pre-negotiated time windows; the laptop's radio can stop listening the rest of the time). None of this is fancy OLPC crock-schtupping-hat technology, it's merely what every other WiFi in the world is doing -- but OLPC isn't. Question. If I have my OLPC at home setup to talk WPA to my local AP (which I can't test atm; I can't even update the software on my OLPC!) will the mesh code still function openly?

The media type for Speex in Ogg (common .spx files) is audio/ogg. audio/x-speex or audio/speex as it's in the process of being registered is only used for RTP. audio/x-speex+ogg would be another of those crazily made-up media types with no purpose. Not quite. It's taken straight from /usr/share/mime/packages/freedesktop.org.xml mime-type type=audio/x-speex+ogg sub-class-of type=application/ogg/ commentOgg Speex audio/comment magic priority=80 match value=OggS type=string offset=0 match value=Speex type=string offset=28/ /match /magic glob pattern=*.ogg/ /mime-type So if any, it's made-up by those crazy freedesktop.org guys. I can't quite remember where I got the audio/x-speex mime type from, possibly I just googled mimetypes for speex files. I'm a bit bothered with all problems Sugar suffers from media types. I can't still find the cause why Speex does not work in the applications where it should, even though everyone suspects it's a media type problem. I for one can't find it. I have tried several combinations in case gstreamer expected any of them, and it led to nothing. On the other hand, correcting the media types for Ogg video (video/ogg as opposed to three crazy x-something experiments) makes Theora video stop working. I can't understand anymore who's to blame, if either the applications like gstreamer and etoys which are going for non-standard media types or Sugar, which relies too much on them. Well, I do not know either. However, speex appears to work fine in Build 691. I went here: http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/19616 and downloaded one of the speex-encoded files. It downloaded to the journal and opened in Browse (Etoys was not offered to resume the file). The browser plugin played back the file. - Bert - ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Re: [Server-devel] Mesh Portal Question
I believe in the blind table of XO-1, you have to include the anycast address C027C027C027. I think the last digits of the address are custom, but not sure though. Still, in your case, you should only blind XO2 to XO1, and dont forget to invert the blinding table.
