[Sugar-devel] OLPC ext3 image for Qemu- Error 404
Hi, I am trying to setup the Sugar environment using qemu. I am trying to download the ext3 images from link* http://xs-dev.laptop.org/~cscott/xo-1/streams/joyride/* which is provided on http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Testing_ideas. But I can see that the link is no longer valid for downloading the ext3 images. It would be great if someone could provide the URL from where I can download ext3 OLPC images for qemu. Cheers!

[Sugar-devel] Query regarding /usr/bin/sugar-activity
Hi all. What is the package, that contains the binary /usr/bin/sugar-activity? Very surprisingly, it is not a part of sugar :-\ Thanks in advance :) Regards, Ajay Garg Dextrose Developer Activity Central: http://activitycentral.com ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

Re: [Sugar-devel] OLPC ext3 image for Qemu- Error 404
OLPC has not provided qemu images for a while, so that wiki page is outdated. If you want a premade update-to-date Sugar virtual machine, you can go to http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Emulator_image_files and download one from there. Alternatively you can go to http://spins.fedoraproject.org/soas/ , download the ISO image of a CD-ROM, and use the liveinst program in a Linux Terminal to install the software to a virtual hard drive and make your own.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Hacking onto the appearing and hiding of OSK

I thought we had a different approach under development: to scroll the window up in the case of the text view being occluded by the OSK? Yes, there are patches in GTK3 and Sugar for this, though with some issues still needing worked through. One activity that we managed to push hard to get polished was Write, it needed to be a special case as it doesn't use normal gtk widgets. My (rough) understanding of the implementation is that GTK first looks for a scrolled view and tries to scroll it so that the cursor/focus rect is kept in view [1], if no scrolled view is found it scrolls the canvas [2]. [1] the Write behaviour here is not ideal as the abiword widget implementation for the text area didn't allow for extra padding at the bottom of the view, so the text being edited is hard up next to the OSK rather than with some extra space so the text selection handles stay visible. [2] I think there were patches in GTK3 Sugar so that the activity canvas area was automatically placed in a scroll view, so the toolbars are guaranteed to stay in view, but not sure if this landed. This should be doable for activities that have scrolling windows, such as terminal and chat. Speak, which doesn't scroll could be refactored to put the textview on the top instead of the bottom of the screen. (I suspect that whatever solution we have will involve some intervention in some activities.) Yes some intervention in activities will still be needed, and the first thing to do if you want any of this auto scrolling support is make sure your activity is ported to GTK3! ;) FOr activities like Speak I'd posted mockup images to a previous mail list thread showing how moving the text input area to the top of the UI would work well (the eyes will just peek over the top of the keyboard and the OSK can be hidden when the text is submitted for speaking). I have tested the re-sizing the windows; however, to make the fix work everywhere, I was thinking of the following algorithm :: What does resizing the window do? What other activities have you tested it on? Some activities will become quite unusable if auto shrunk, scrolling I think is better, we're lucky if the original developer planned for landscape and portrait aspect ratios...

None that I'm aware of but it might be worth browsing the epiphany or webkitgtk mailing lists. I think it might be OK with webkit2 which should land in the gnome release.

Re: [Sugar-devel] webgl in Browse
I haven't tried but I think it might work on Fedora 18, it sounds like it's enabled by default in webkit 1.10. If someone has it installed, the easiest test would be to try it in the epiphany browser. If it works it will hopefully work in Browse too (or it should be easy to make it work anyway).
