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

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. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

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.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Memorize Game sharing a Created game
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 Internet connection (possibly latency is an issue too) the download frequently fails before it is complete, and there is no way of knowing precisely unless it is a grossly reduced download,. Without testing. I am struggling to download Memorize 33 from the OLPC wiki, at my present location in central PNG, using mobile broadband. But we'll revert back with our findings.

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).
