Re: [sugar] [IAEP] Sugar on Ubuntu LiveUSB is ready

2008-11-15 Thread Walter Bender
Trying this new set up for the first time...

 Boot from this CD and from there, use LiveUSB to copy the system to USB
 stick (use a stick with 1-2 GB capacity as problems have been reported with
 larger ones)

I've tried with a 1 GB and a 2 GB USB. In both cases, it complains
that I don't have enough space. Anyone have any experience getting
this to work? Also, creating the USB image was **very** slow.

Re: [sugar] Problem with initial push to central repository

2008-11-15 Thread Tomeu Vizoso
Hi Lewis,

just looked in the server and seems to me like you have the wrong
permissions. AFAICS, the repository is write accessible to the group
'bundleactivity' but the user 'urcompsci' is not in that group.

So I would send a note to [EMAIL PROTECTED] asking about what to do.

Recently, several people have pointed to http://gitorious.org as a
good place to host your projects in git. Though right now it's down so
may not be such a good idea? :/ But there's also http://github.com.

Arguably, the best thing of git is that let's you move your project
somewhere else without much pain.

Regards,

Tomeu

 Quoting Tomeu Vizoso [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 Hi Lionel and all OLPC France,

 excuse me if this comes too late or isn't to the point, but would like
 to propose to hack on a mind mapping activity during the CodeCamp in
 Paris.

 I think this project has the appeal of being in direct connection to
 the needs in the field. Teachers from Uruguay, Peru and Panama have
 asked for such a tool, and have been exploring alternatives that may
 not be the best: drawing in Paint, using the connectors in Etoys,
 executing a java app (CMaps) inside the X Activity or using web apps.

 Happens that a pygtk application for mind mapping already exists and
 its architecture makes for an easy port to sugar. It's called
 Labyrinth [0] and was proposed more than one year ago by Jim Gettys
 [1] though no resources were allocated. Recently, teachers in the
 olpc-sur mailing lists asked again for it [2] and I gave a quick (2
 hours) try to sugarize it with some success [3].

 In [3] you can find links to the activity bundle, a screenshot and a
 patch to the code in the svn repository.

 [0] http://www.gnome.org/~dscorgie/labyrinth.html
 [1] http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/4577
 [2] http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/olpc-sur/2008-November/001168.html
 [3] http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/olpc-sur/2008-November/001173.html

 My proposal is for the CodeCamp participants to divide in pairs and
 each pair to choose one feature to add or bug to fix. At the end of
 the session, everybody would integrate all the changes and produce a
 single bundle.

 Most of the functionality is already in the original pygtk app, it's
 just a matter of exposing that functionality through the Sugar UI.

 I will try to be in #sugar at FreeNode during the CodeCamp to answer
 questions.

 After the CodeCamp, we could send the bundle to teachers in olpc-sur
 and ask them to try it and give feedback. Also, at some point whoever
 is interested in following up could contact the authors of Labyrinth
 and see the best way to upstream the changes.

 What do you say, looks like a challenge?

Has anyone gotten a chance to look at Gnome Mobile and how it might
serve as a platform for Sugar.  The development rate is starting to
pickup.

I am curious  if the services and APIs provided by Gnome Mobile will
meet Sugar's needs.  The stated goal is being a subset of gnome while
being small enough to run on low powered netbooks.  If they include

Re: [sugar] [IAEP] Sugar on Ubuntu LiveUSB is ready

2008-11-15 Thread Caroline Meeks
yes I got this to work on a 1GB USB with a lot of effort.  I find it
generally slow to create the USBs.  In general the fastest way to create a
new one is to copy it from one USB to another while booted into Linux.
However, I don't know if you can do that in Sugar and this particular setup
doesn't let you escape out of Sugar back down into Ubuntu as far as I could
figure out.

Herea are my notes on how I did it.

Here is my feedback on making the existing directions more friendly.


   1. Download the stock
ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.isohttp://releases.ubuntu.com/hardy/ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.isoand
burn it

Yup, I can do this.

   1. Boot from this CD and from there, use
LiveUSBhttp://klik.atekon.de/liveusbto copy the system to USB stick
(use a stick with 1-2 GB capacity as
   problems have been reported with larger ones)

Ok so when you follow this link you eventually end up at this page.
http://ppa.launchpad.net/probono/ubuntu/pool/main/l/liveusb/

Please provide instructions on exactly what to download. I picked
liveusb_0.1.1_all.debhttp://ppa.launchpad.net/probono/ubuntu/pool/main/l/liveusb/liveusb_0.1.1_all.deb
Then also provide instructions on exactly what the user should do to install
it.  I fumbled around and eventually it opened, but I couldn't actually tell
someone else how to do it.
Then provide instruction on exactly which options to set.  I picked both
persistence and flash and the flash ended up giving me an error.

   1. If you use the persistence option, you need to replace
   casper/initrd.gz on the stick with the bugfixed
initrd.gzhttp://dev.laptop.org/%7Eprobono/sbuntu/initrd.gzprovided
here.

The Casper direction is write protected. Please provide instructions on how
to deal with that.
What is this? Why am I doing it?

   1. Add the file
sugar.squashfshttp://dev.laptop.org/%7Eprobono/sbuntu/sugar.squashfsto
the directory casper/ on the USB stick

Again the write protection on Casper made this more of a challenge then
might be expected.

 Trying this new set up for the first time...

  Boot from this CD and from there, use LiveUSB to copy the system to USB
  stick (use a stick with 1-2 GB capacity as problems have been reported
 with
  larger ones)

 I've tried with a 1 GB and a 2 GB USB. In both cases, it complains
 that I don't have enough space. Anyone have any experience getting
 this to work? Also, creating the USB image was **very** slow.


I got it to work.

Re: [sugar] Sugar on Gnome mobile

2008-11-15 Thread Sayamindu Dasgupta
I believe GNOME Mobile is still positioned as a platform with the
various existing GNOME technologies (eg: Dbus, GTK+, GConf, etc). We
already use a significant number of components from that platform.
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/mobile-devel-list/2008-November/pdfibiPQanYOb.pdf
is a good example of how a existing framework uses GNOME Mobile.
Thanks,
Sayamindu

 Has anyone gotten a chance to look at Gnome Mobile and how it might
 serve as a platform for Sugar.  The development rate is starting to
 pickup.

 I am curious  if the services and APIs provided by Gnome Mobile will
 meet Sugar's needs.  The stated goal is being a subset of gnome while
 being small enough to run on low powered netbooks.  If they include
 the right subset.

 thanks
