That file should be there, so you may have a messed up sugar-artwork.
Try removing that dir (if you don't have any changes you want to keep)

We should be downloading a tarball instead of cloning metacity's git

We need to modify config/modulesets/glucose-external.modules and
instead of a autotools tag we need tarball for metacity. Can you
submit a patch for this?

 Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
 installed software in a non-standard prefix.

 Alternatively, you may set the environment variables METACITY_MESSAGE_CFLAGS
 and METACITY_MESSAGE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
 See the pkg-config man page for more details.

[Sugar-devel] [PATCH sugar] Don't break if we may not own NetworkManagerUserSettings

2010-07-15 Thread Sascha Silbe
User settings will be removed from NetworkManager in the future. Also the user
might not have privileges to handle user settings - e.g. because of logging in
remotely (LTSP-style setups).

This is specific to distributions shipping an old version of GTK (Ubuntu
9.04 and Fedora 12 apparently have the same issue - I didn't notice
because metacity has failed for various reasons for quite some time).
It probably was a conscious choice of the metacity developers, so a patch
is unlikely to get accepted upstream.

Just a reminder that SoaS-4 feature freeze is rapidly approaching. The
feature freeze is July 27th. So we're a little under 2 weeks away from
feature freeze so please get your features in. If you need help or
have queries regarding the process please email the soas list.

BTW the first release of sugar 0.89 will be in tomorrow's nightly SoaS
build... get it first here [1] :-)

[Sugar-devel] behaviour of F-keys on XO HS

2010-07-15 Thread Daniel Drake
Hi,

On the XO HS (highschool edition, the one with a more normal
keyboard) we're facing some questions about how the F keys should
function, under sugar and GNOME.

The technicalities are in http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/10213 and here
is a picture of the keyboard:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Spanish_Non-membrane_Keyboard

Under non-sugar environments (e.g. GNOME), myself and Paul are in
agreement that in order to change brightness and volume, you should
press e.g. Fn+F9 (to decrease brightness).

This matches behaviour of normal laptops, including the Dell that
I'm writing on. Linux already has mechanisms (once through hal, now
through udev) so that when I press Fn+F8 on my Dell, X receives the
volume down key press (instead of the Fn+F8 key press), matching
what is printed on the keyboard.


We want all of the unmodified F-keys to send the normal F-key events
(we don't want to map them especially). This is for maximum
compatibility with non-sugar environments.


For Sugar we have an open question.
The F1-F4 keys have the zoom levels printed on them, and pressing the
keys unmodified will cause the zoom levels to change (because this is
how Sugar is already coded, it responds to the literal F1 keypress).

The other keys are:
 - F5: search/journal
 - F6: frame
 - F9: brightness down
 - F10: brightness up
 - F11: volume down
 - F12: volume up

For these other keys, when using Sugar, should the user have to press
the Fn modifier while pressing the key in order to reach the named
function?

The advantage of not having to press Fn (i.e. the keys would work
unmodified) is that sugar works the way it always has on XO (we retain
consistency with XO-1).
As for the other option, the advantage of requiring Fn is that we gain
consistency between Sugar and GNOME, and between the XO HS and
normal laptops (where Fn *is* necessary to reach those alternate
functions). (but we do end up with some confusion with the zoom level
keys,which will continue to work unmodified)

If we decide to make the keys available unmodified in Sugar we would
have to change sugar (worldwide, not interested in downstream forked
patches) so that F5 on any system opens the journal, F6 on any system
opens the frame, etc. How would people feel about that?

cheers,
Daniel

This convention appears to be changing. My very recent HP notebook requires
th Fn button to be pushed to reach the function keys. Everything is
reversed.

While I don't have the empirical evidence to support a claim that users
prefer to have quick access to volume  brightness, I think this could be an
argument to say that whatever the path of least resistance (in terms of
developer cycles) is fine.

+1 on Tim's observation, all three Apple laptops I've owned have 
brightness/volume/exposé/dashboard/etc mapped by default to a single key press, 
if you want an Fn key you need to hold the Fn button down. There is a system 
preference to toggle this behaviour, but the majority of Mac applications avoid 
the use of function keys (same as most Sugar Activities do).
