Few sugar activities crashes

2013-11-10 Thread Basanta Shrestha
HI,
On my 13.2.0 build, few activities like peppy, write, terminal doesn't
work.

When I uninstall the default version of terminal ( version 41) and install
terminal-40.xo, it works.  But when I try to generate image by putting
version 40 under /usr/share/doc/olpc-os-builder-7.0.0/examples/activities/
it doesn't install.

I always use olpc-os-builder --cache-only olpc-os-13.2.0-xo4.ini. I was
wondering will removing --cache-only in the above command will look for new
terminal version and solve the issue?

Or is there a way to exclude installing some sugar activities through
olpc-os.13.2.0.xo4.ini file ? so that I can test and install the ones that
works?

Please suggest.

Regards,
Basanta Shrestha

keyboarding as a requirement

2013-11-10 Thread Sameer Verma
This was on NPR, here in San Francisco.

http://www.californiareport.org/archive/R201311081630/c

While I don't buy into all of the Common Core mumbo jumbo in the US
(my kid has to go through this, so we are dealing with it as parents),
the importance of keyboards is interesting. They didn't point out to
onscreen vs tactile, but the importance of tactile keyboards for
children is an important consideration.

Maybe keyboarding will go away altogether once we can speak to our
computers like Captain Picard does for his Tea, Earl Grey, hot, but
we are not there yet.

cheers,
Sameer

editing a clone

2013-11-10 Thread Sameer Verma
I installed Gonzalo's build for Sugar 0.100 on a XO-4 Touch. It runs
quite well. I was checking out the source on the Clock activity, and
sure enough view source shows the HTML and JavaScript source.

I managed to create a copy of the activity to work with, but I'm
unclear as to how I would edit/change this. The View Source action
leads to a window with the source, but it's uneditable there.

Any pointers?

cheers,
Sameer

In Terminal type gedit
navigate to home/olpc/Activities/[laptopname]copy_of_Clock.activity
edit the source

note in Sugar 0.100 you have the permissions to access the Activities  
directory, in some old Sugars and maybe future Sugars you do not


chmod 777 Activities sets read and write permissions

Oh! I knew about the gedit part, but I thought I could edit inline. There
should be a better workflow to edit a clone.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Few sugar activities crashes

2013-11-10 Thread Gonzalo Odiard
You should check where are you getting the list of activities and versions.

In the file  olpc-os-13.2.0-xo4.ini you have a section:

[sugar_activity_group]
url=http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/G1G1

this url points to a page with the activities and versions to download.

If you want try, I am working with a cloned repository
https://github.com/godiard/olpc-os-builder/tree/v7.0
with the last version of sugar, many activities updates,
and a few changes implemented for the Australia deployment.

At the firmware ok prompt [1], you may change the tag values [2], for
example;

ok tags(
ok delete-tag KL
ok add-tag KL np
ok delete-tag KV
ok add-tag KV olpc2
ok )tags

The )tags command will force a reboot.

If you need to scale up this change to many laptops, contact
reu...@laptop.org or myself.  I must know the SKU number.

seems to imply that the default domain suffix is .local

That is a definite potential bug.  While .local is reserved for
local use, multicast DNS clients effectively have taken over this
domain to the point that older networks which have .local DNS
entries have run into a lot of problems.


Did some reading and you have made a believer out of me.


Use of schoolserver.lan would avoid these problems.


.lan is a candidate, also .internal.  I have seen .localdomain.

Can anyone point to a 'best practices'?
