There's a Sugar mailing list for this kind of question, but here is my answer: tomboy is a depends of ubuntu-sugar-remix but mono is not. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-sugar-remix sudo apt-get remove --purge tomboy mono This will install the metapackage, then remove the packages you think you don't need. As a result, the packages that called those packages in will also be removed. ubuntu-sugar-remix is a metapackage with a huge list of dependencies, see apt-cache show ubuntu-sugar-remix. If you just want Sugar without all these dependencies, then don't use ubuntu-sugar-remix, instead use the individual package names. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

The base Sugar source has no dependencies on mono or any mono based packages so you'll need to report a bug in the ubuntu based bug tracking system for whoever maintains the sugar packages in ubuntu to get the problem fixed.

Re: Patches for a faster wikibrowse
Hi Martin, This sounds like a great improvement! BTW, has anyone looked into syncing up to a newer version of the 'mwlib' library? mwlib was under active development when I grabbed it for the activity like 2 years ago, so there may have been nice fixes since then. One of the major issues it had was not outputting completely valid XHTML, which is why we had to run the output through a beautifier before passing it to Firefox. (It had to be XHTML for Firefox to display the MathML) That may be costing some time.

Re: [Server-devel] deregister laptops
G'day David, XO-1 software release 10.1.2 is based on Sugar 0.84, which moved to using gconf for storing this setting. What should work is: 1. start Terminal activity, 2. type sugar-control-panel -c registration 3. use ctrl-alt-erase to restart Sugar. If that doesn't work, please let me know, as I'd like to track it. Sorry it has taken me a while to get round to testing this. Well it does not work. In terminal, the command above gives a lot of text feedback, referring to a configuration server. Not sure what it is trying to do, but what I am trying to achieve is to get the Register to appear on the XO home page when you hover over the middle, under Shutdown and My settings; i.e. to have the Register option available again in the shutdown dropdown menu so that I can register the XO on another XS. We have to do this quite often, for instance right now we have 25 teachers from 3 schools with OLPC projects visiting one school for training. They all need to access the XS server at that school, using their own laptops. Hence we need to deregister them. I am not sure if this question is for the Sugar dev or server dev list, but is certainly server related. Any help appreciated! We are stuck at the moment. We are otherwise stuck; we upgrade them XOs to 10.1.2 and now don't have access to the server without a lot of time consuming work. (it is a pity as the rm /home/olpc/.sugar/default/config method was well understood here) There's an alternate method using the gconftool-2 program that is somewhat more complex. gconftool-2 --set --type=string \ /desktop/sugar/backup_url \ '' And finally a brute force method rm -rf .gconf but this destroys other settings, most of which may not be important.

Hi James, thanks for responding so quickly. Actually we can set up accounts on the XS manually of course. But we need to know how to do this. The text output is below sugar-control-panel -c registration sugar-control-panel: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.) There's an alternate method using the gconftool-2 program that is somewhat more complex. gconftool-2 --set --type=string \ /desktop/sugar/backup_url \ '' And finally a brute force method rm -rf .gconf but this destroys other settings, most of which may not be important. Did either of these alternate methods work? - gconftool method gave same output as the first (as above) - rm -rf .gconf gave no errors but after reboot there is no Register option present in the home view shutdown menu, only Shutdown and My Settings. So I guess no. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
