Re: stop sharing an activity

Yes, intentional.  sugar-toolkit.git/src/sugar/activity/widgets.py class
ShareButton, method __update_share_cb, once the activity is shared the
private and neighborhood (sic) buttons are marked insensitive.

http://git.sugarlabs.org/sugar-toolkit/mainline/blobs/master/src/sugar/activity/widgets.py#line154

 This was true in os860 and os20, XO-1 and XO-1.5 and activities like
 write and Turtle blocks.

As it is a function of the toolkit, it will be true for all activities
that use the toolkit, probably regardless of the activity version.  (The
toolkit provides the default behaviour.  I see no reason why an activity
could not implement a stop-sharing feature, but I have seen no such
implementation yet.)

For os860, which is Sugar 0.84, sugar-toolkit.git/src/sugar/activity.py
class ActivityToolbar method _update_share() forces the button to be
insensitive.

http://git.sugarlabs.org/sugar-toolkit/mainline/blobs/sucrose-0.84/src/sugar/activity/activity.py#line159

The same is true in Sugar 0.82 used in OLPC OS 8.2.1 build os802.

 If this is indeed a feature and not a bug or something I miss, could
 someone point me to the relevant discussion and/or rational of once
 public, always public?

I don't know where that discussion might be, but the concept follows the
maxim that once information is released there's no going back.

problem solved (Re: new OLPC slackware 13.37 released (fwd)

2011-05-29 Thread supat

I just solved all problems exist in OLPC Slackware 13.37

below is content on my d/l at http://e-university.eu.org/OLPC/

  Index of /OLPC

  * Parent Directory
  * 2.6.35.3.tgz
  * bzImage
  * howto.txt
  * initrd.gz
  * olpc.fth
  * olpc_slak13.37.tar.bz2
  * slack13.37.hint.txt
Actually reason KDE did not work under OLPC was written in 
slack13.37.hint.txt

It need to put below config:

 Section Extensions
   Option Composite Disable
 EndSection

in the file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/disable-composite.conf

I compile new OLPC kernel using exactly recent OLPC kernel
You should replace /lib/modules with .tgz I gave on my d/l
also cp olpc.fth I gave to your /boot
Don't forget to replace with new bzImage and initrd.gz

Regards,
supat

 Subject: new OLPC slackware 13.37 released
 
 
 Features:
 
 1. on USB with full slackware 13.37 will boot on OLPC
 2. support all SW in slackware 13.3 plus open office and NX client
 3. support KDE but OLPC 1.0 is too slow so fluxbox is a prefered WM
 4. the same USB can boot on all pc in this world with all HW support as
 slackware 13.37 can do.

 Dear johnny nunez,
 
 Sorry for late reply because your mail has no topic and I got a lot of
 junk mail. I mostly delete them w/o reading. Fortunately I hit the wrong
 key so I accidentally see your message below.
 
 I invent slackware OLPC in 2006.
 The last person who ask for it is 4 years ago because current support of
 OLPC is not in slackware. I think no one will interest it.
 
 I forget where I put those slackware OLPC in and I change servers several
 times in the past 4 years. I don't know how many servers I have.
 
 So, you have to inform me where did you get info from and what did it
 said. In original message it should have a clue where I put it. Or it can
 make me remember where is the imgage of it.
 
 Regards,
 supat

Thanks for the detailed info.
For sure once information is released there is no going back, 
but I do not think activity sharing/collaboration is anything close to that as 
a concept or practice.
Today other collaboration tools allow not only collaboration to stop but also 
who and how to collaborate.
I can see many scenarios in and out of a class that may need that feature and 
I'm actually surprised is not(?) brought up by any deployment yet.

No worries.  Perhaps you might check for or create a ticket with Sugar
Labs?  Describe these other tools that allow collaboration to stop, why
they do so, and the scenarios you envision.  Perhaps it has been brought
up by a deployment, but I don't have a comprehensive list of deployment
feedback items.  You might also check with your deployment contacts.
