Re: [Sugar-devel] seeking help to enable nepali keyboard input for XO-4
Hi all, We are planning on ordering the next lot of XO-4s and I need some suggestions on which keyboard model to choose -membrane or hard/clicky one. We had membrane one for our first lot and keyboard switching was very convenient on that model. One reason not to choose hard/clicky one is that it doesn't have key for language switching ( correct me if I am wrong) -I have one spanish hard/clicky and it doesn't have that key - key 56 at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Keyboard_layouts. Hard/Clicky on the other hard is more convenient while typing. Please suggest. -Basanta On Wed, Nov 13, 2013 at 10:01 PM, Daniel Drake d...@laptop.org wrote: On Tue, Nov 12, 2013 at 10:14 PM, Basanta Shrestha basanta.shres...@olenepal.org wrote: Amazingly changing the manufacturing data didn't do the job but changing /etc/sysconfig/keyboard did.

[Sugar-devel] How to change onscreen keyboard layout.
Hi Everyone, On my X0-4 with 13.2.0, when I flip the screen to book reader mode, I get some arabic keyboard layout. The only layout setting I have on my oob configuration file is under olpc-os-13.2.0-xo4.ini as below: [base] default_kbd_model=olpc default_kbd_layout=us,np default_kbd_variant=olpc2,olpc default_language=ne_NP.UTF-8 - where 'ne_NP' = nepali and Nepal 'np' is our layout which is devanagari.

Yeah, it's not quite that simple. You need to leave the interaction
with the OLPC mode/variant in place. Add the following lines to the
end of the file:
partial alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols olpc {
include np
include group(olpc)

Now it should work.

Re: [Sugar-devel] seeking help to enable nepali keyboard input for XO-4
Thank you so much Walter and sorry that I am very new to these thing. What I have understood so far is : .mfg-date will list the predefined set to stored data. And we need to set KL to 'np' ( this the name of maping file for Nepali under /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ ) and we need to set some value ( np? ) to KV as well. And we need to decide on a key combination to invoke the keyboard switching between the default(English) and Nepali. Since there is no physical : Language key, I think keyboard combination like alt+space bar should be easy. Please suggest if there is other consideration we need to think of. But I am still wondering how we could alter/change the stored data to our preference or if we can do it ourselves. Please suggest.

Re: [Sugar-devel] [fedora-arm] ARM Environment too slow for build
Exactly as you suggested, I didn't have to make tarball. Linking the
firefox file to required location did the job. It just required some minor
modifications like os.execl('.launch.sh','DUMMY') and replacing
service_name with bundle_id on activity.info file and I could run the
EPaath activity perfectly.
Now there is just a minor problem and that is when I close the activity
after using it is says EPaath failed to start. I guess it has something
to do with activity not being suitable with new sugar interface.

Why are you rebuilding firefox when we already provide pre build

I am looking for a firefox tarball and not a rpm. We have one activity
that
requires the firefox folder ( folder we get when extracting
firefox.x.x.tar.gz) to be placed somewhere within that activity folder
structures. Installing rpm will directly copy files to respective
locations
within the system which doesn't do my job.
Please do point me to such bundle if it can be found.
I'm not going to do you a tar ball bundle, I've not got the time when
we provide a perfectly good instance of Firefox that get security
updates and various other things to protect users. If you explain your
problem better I might be able to explain to you how to properly deal
with your Sugar Activity so that you don't need custom builds of
firefox that will only cause you problems later.

That is why later in the thread I suggested to download what yum installed on the XO, then create and use a custom repo for OOB. Instead, create a local repo with these 2 packages and add it to your build config: http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=109570 http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=116355 It will need newer nss*/nspr builds too.

Can you confirm what version is installed with: rpm -q xulrunner. I have a workaround that I used with F14 that should still work with this situation. Which repos are enabled in olpc-so-builder when you generate the image? Jerry Looks like an incompatibility with xulrunner, which hasn't been successfully built on F17 in a while: http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=10131 Maybe Peter has some comments. You could try an older version of firefox to match the latest (old) version of xulrunner available.

[Sugar-devel] Statically Built Chromium for my XO
Hi, I am looking to install chromium on my XO. Recently I downloaded a build from http://build.chromium.org/f/chromium/snapshots/ and tried to run it under the XO. Without much surprise, it complained about lot of missing libraries. What I am looking for now is a chromium which has been build statically. Can anyone point me a link to such a file or a process to do so.
