Re: [Sugar-devel] Memorize Game sharing a Created game

2010-07-22 Thread David Leeming
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/G1G1/8.2 states Memorize 33 as the one
that works with 8.2 

We had problems with 33 as well, which seems to be consistent with Tom's
reference to ticket 2115 

We are using build 802 with Sugar 0.82.1 on an XO-1.0

Please can we have the correct version that will definitely share "created
games" on this configuration.

Are you sure?

Memorize 33 was released July 14, 2009 according to
http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addons/versions/4063

Build 8.2.1 was released May 13, 2009 according to 
http://download.laptop.org/xo-1/custom/g1g1/gg-802-1/ and
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Release_notes/8.2.1

I can imagine how difficult that is, but even at very slow speeds
Memorize-33.xo should take a very short time ... it is only 832971 bytes
long.  If you would like to try an alternate method to download on an
XO, use Terminal activity and wget.

For example:

1.  insert a USB stick,

2.  start Terminal activity,

3.  type "cd /media/*", to change the working directory to the USB stick
so that the download will go there,

4.  type

wget -c http://wiki.laptop.org/images/4/44/Memorize-33.xo

5.  when it finishes, verify the file with

md5sum Memorize-33.xo

f2527bab56090a72d396e2b20091e62e is what I get.

6.  then close Terminal, open the Journal, find the .xo file, and click
on it.

Using this method will also help you understand why the download might
be failing.  The output of step 4 will tell you more details about a
failure.  With this better understanding you might be able to fix the
problem or at least be better informed.

In such a situation, I would use 'command line mode'. And do this:

wget -c url-of-memorize-33.xo

this would allow you to continue an incomplete/failed download and try again
until it got it.  
then you can use:

sugar-install-bundle memorize-33.xo

or 

unzip memorize-33.xo 

and then 'mv' the old one to a temp location and 'mv' the new one into
/home/olpc/Activities.

But that is just me. I dont know if that is something you would be comfortable
doing.

Thanks, it is version 33 that was shipped, if you read the wiki carefully.
We will try downgrading. This brings up a related matter, when using a slow

Walter has updated the ticket http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2115 saying
that Memorize 34 does not work on build 8.2.1 because that build is too
old. You'll have to install an older version of Memorize.

The version of Memorize shipped with build 8.2.1 works, but I don't know
what version that is.

Unfortunately, Memorize encountered an unexpected exception but didn't
tell you.

I don't have an XO with me so I can't install 8.2.1 and see which version
it ships with, but from memory we:

Flashed two XO-1.0 with build 8.2.1.
Started Memorize on one XO
Loaded a game
Set sharing to Neighbourhood
Found the Memorize in the Neighbourhood on the other XO
Joined Memorize with right-click

We then installed Memorize 34 and sharing no longer worked.

Sorry, I don't know.

FWIW Memorize-33 seemed to share and allow two XOs to play the same game. It 
did get confused after a few rounds and then neither could pick a card, however 
I was testing one v33 in Sugar 0.82, and the other v34 in Sugar 8.4.16. This 
was tested over a Mesh connection.

FWIW, the OLPC micro format wiki page is also listing v34 as 8.2.1 supported, 
so if it is confirmed it does have some new dependency, that page needs 
correcting as well as ASLO.

> 
>> We did everything we could think of, restarting, etc etc.

Did you grab a copy of the Memorize log so we can try and fix/see the error? 
That would really speed up the chances of a fix/resolution.

FWIW: older release versions of Memorize are all available on 
activities.sugarlabs.org, just search for memorize and then click on the 'show 
all versions' link near the bottom of the page (usually ASLO only shows the 
most recent activity release for the release of Sugar you are using, but this 
one may have been tagged incorrectly, or has some regression the maintainer 
didn't expect).

We tested the memorize that comes with 8.2.1 and had no trouble. We
shared one of the pre-defined games. We made a word/word game and shared
that and we made a picture/word game and shared that. We didn't see any
problems.

We erased the Memorize supplied with 8.2.1 and installed Memorize 34 and
find the same issue you report. Unfortunately we didn't make a note of
the version supplied with 8.2.1, so I can't tell you which one did work
for us.

There are some exceptions in the log (why aren't these presented to the
user??) and I've raised http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2115
