The rest might be helped by upgrading to the latest XO4 build? I recommend he try [1] if he has an XO 4.

Re: [Sur] [Sugar-devel] Introducing SimpleActivity / Introduciendo SimpleActivity
Manu,
I just added the __init__.py file.
About the StopButton, I added the function add_stopbutton in order to be
called when the activity developer finish its toolbar, because
SimpleActivity can't know where it's ready, I think the only way to do this
is when the user adds any item to the toolbar, move (actually, remove and
insert again) the stopbutton with its separator to the end of the toolbar,
but we would doing that every time an item is added and I think it doesn't
make sense.
If there is a way to fix an item position, please let me know.
About new signals style:
They look nicer, when I want to define a signal without a function, I can
do
my_signal = GObject.Signal('my_signal', arg_types=(int)) as you said, then
where I should put that?
self.mysignal = GObject.Signal( ?

aguz

Nice! I will try to use it in Browse. We should aim to zero code
duplication and make activities code easier.
I gave a quick look at the code. I think SimpleActivity should take
care of adding the Stop button. All activities will (must) have it.
Please add an empty __init__.py file so we can use it as a module.
A minor implementation thing: we started to use new style signals.
They are more pythonic. So instead of adding a class attribute
__gsignals__ you do:
my_signal = GObject.Signal('my_signal', arg_types=(int,))
other_gobject.connect('my_signal', my_signal_handler)
my_signal.emit(42)

Hi everyone,
I am writing to show you what I was developing those last days, in order
to
make simpler the developing of Sugar Activities, this module, micro
library
or whatever you want to call it, makes much more easier the processes
that
every activity does, for example create ToolButtons, add them to a
Toolbar
or implement collaboration which is difficult for any starter developer.
The main idea is include SimpleAcivity in our toolkit, but thinking about
all the review processes it takes, you can add it to your activity for
now
or you can take a look about how it works in the Demo activity I did [1],
where you can see how easy is to implement sharing or create the toolbar.
* SimpleActivity classes *
simpleactivity.SimpleActivity:
The activities which doesn't want to implement collaboration, can derive
from this class (instead of sugar3.activity.activity.Activity), this
class
automatically adds the toolbar to the activity with his
ActivityToolbarButton and it makes easier some processes related to the
design, e.g. add buttons, separators, or whatever to the toolbar in only
one
line and also other things related to the operation for example any
number,
string, dictionary or list that is saved into the self.data variable
will be
auto kept in the journal, and when the instance runs again, in self.data
will be what you leaved when the activity was closed.
Among these there are many other simple features, that after all, they do
everything much easier.
simpleactivity.SharedActivity (derives from SimpleActivity, you can use
all
its methods): :
From this class should derive every activity which needs to be shared,
the
process is greatly simplified cause the communication is done
automatically
and the system works with something like an event manager, so we only
need
to worry about register our events in a python dict, where the keys are
the
names of the events and the values are the functions to call when we
receive
an event, and when we want to emit an event with the values we need or
not, all we have to do is to call send_event(event_name, data)... And
that's
all, we don't have to worry about telepathy, dbus or anything like that,
SimpleActivity does everything for you :)
Also it includes an option to send files in a very easy way, using the
method send_file(file_path, data) that notifies every peer that a file is
available, and it can be downloaded just calling the download_file
method,
and then SharedActivity will start emiting signals with information
related
to the download progress, etc.
The process of downloading is done using another independent tube, then
nothing gets blocked while the file is sent/downloaded, we can continue
sending events while, and everything will continue working.
Notes:
- Both classes derives from the natives classes of sugar, so we can
continue using every method of sugar.activity.activity.Activity or
whatever,
without any problem.
- Whole SimpleActivity (module) is only one .py file, then we can put it
into our activity directory easily as we do with HelpButton or
FontComboBox,
even if it isn't in sugar toolkit.
- It only supports GTK3, I think it is not

OFW and Linux do handle their volume settings individually. Paul's suggestion should fix that problem up. I believe there is a newer OFW revision that reduces the overall volume to avoid distortion. ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
Re: Fwd: XO Problems (4 Problems)
Paul is right, the startup sound volume is only controlled by the firmware, and the easiest opportunity is at the time it plays. Can also stick ear plugs in socket. See http://wiki.laptop.org/go/On_Music ;-) The Scratch, freezes, and touchscreen vs mouse exclusivity remind me of an early development build.

[Server-devel] a kernel for our solidrun protos?
Jon, I'm beginning to want to do something with the solidrun proto. It looks like I can use the fedora 18 image at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cubie_Board, and drop in a kernel that works with the new board. Is that the case? Is there a kernel that I should be using? Or what do you suggest? George ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
[Server-devel] [crazy idea] Supporting basic mobile phones | Searching for possible standards
Hi, Disclaimer: Please do not construe this as a direction that XSCE should be taking, but more of a crazy idea I am exploring on the side. In developing nations, the most common communication device is the mobile phone. It is atleast a magnitude more common any other electronic communication device. If one were to look at building technology solutions for education in less developed nations of this world, a cellphone would seem like the perfect thing to piggyback upon. On the other hand, this would seem like saying lets shut down sugar and move to android, because it's everywhere, something I'm not sure is the best thing to do. (So I am conflicted about it). Cutting to the chase: 1. Is there any overlap between the xsce vision *as you see it* and supporting mobile phones. 2a. If the answer to that is a yes, are there standards or software that might help make XSCE content and services available on basic mobile phones. We will probably forego 80% of the value XSCE provides, but that 20% might be valuable. 2b. What kind of service standards would be most suitable to build upon? WAP, SMS, Voice (navigation)? Most basic mobile phones today have a WAP browser. The more I think, the more it feels that this may not be the right thing for the XSCE project, but still would like to have an understanding of the challenges involved. Thoughts? -- Anish P.S. this email is a result of talking to a few people over the past few weeks and hearing from them again and again the sheer availability of mobile phones. At the same time, I'm sure many people would have already tried to figure out this space (maybe I'm trying to do just that). ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
