 One of my activities is a game that does not produce any document in the

 The problem in the XO is that it gives an error because the method Activity

 provided. Implode
 activities like record two files to not display the error. The solution was
 to implement file recording scores at the data directory in the method
 can_close() rather than write_file() in my activity.
 The problem is that it continues to generate an entry in the journal to the
 output of the activity and I think that you should not do. The same applies
 to the Log and Terminal activities that are most likely not used by
 students, but also pollute the journal.
 Is there any way around it now?
 Accept some modification on this?

pass to Activity.__init__ create_jobject=False e.g.

class MyActivity(activity.Activity):
def __init__(self, handle):
activity.Activity.__init__(self, handle, create_jobject=False)

but keep in mind http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1714 :)

Re: [Sugar-devel] Fwd: #841 UNSP: SoaS should support using a proxy server

2010-02-08 Thread Caroline Meeks
I am working with a school in NH where we can get Sugar to boot and run on
some of their machines but we can't get it to connect to the internet
because the school uses a proxy server.  I am going to a NH LUG meeting
tonight to try to recruit a local linux person to help support them.

Is this likely to be a pointer to how to fix their internet connection
problems?

Thanks,
Caroline

[Sugar-devel] [sugar-devel][olpc-haiti] Offline Maps Beta 2

2010-02-08 Thread Nicholas Doiron
Everyone's still snowbound here in Pittsburgh, so I made some significant
updates to the OfflineMap activity.  Right now it's being designed for
Haiti, but if there's interest the same codebase could be used by another
deployment.

* Satellite Maps: Gonaives,Grand Goave,Miragoave,Anse a Galets,Etroits
* Roadmaps: PortAuPrince,Lagonav,Jacmel,Leogane,Jeremie,Sant Marc,PortDePaix
* Add to maps with markers, lines, and shapes: roadmap-level precision
* Load Google Earth KML files with 100 points, rivers, polygon areas
* Activity can be shared, markers editable by all users
* When connected to the internet, you can paste from OSM or Google Maps

Information and Screenshots:

scattered all over the place...

I am sure there is a method to the madness.

 Hi list!

 We have a bug on 802/8.2.1 where in some cases (specific combination
 of WPA2 with certain AP chipsets) we fail to associate on the very
 first attempt, and then subsequent attempts succeed.

This is an 8.2.1 regression, because several libertas patches were
added late with little testing.

I would suggest reverting those patches.

The reason that it works in F11 is that those patches were never sent
upstream and hence are not included in that kernel.

2010-02-08 Thread Peter Robinson
Hi Caroline,

You might want to try setting the gnome proxy server settings as I believe
(this theory is untested) xulrunner and telepathy should recognise those
settings. you can get that by running gnome-network-properties which is part
of the control-center package (no idea off hand if that is in SoaS by
default), but you can also set it using the command line but I'm not sure
how off hand.

gnome-network-properties appears as a window over the Terminal and

gnome-control-panel doesn't include an explicit graphical close or stop

I presume this just sets gconf keys so it might be useful functionality to
add to the sugar network control panel so it can be set easier.

Yes, perhaps.  There are many keys.  gnome-network-properties controls
quite a few.  The one that was changed by my test was

/system/http_proxy/host

Others at the same level include:

authentication_password
authentication_user
ignore_hosts
port
use_authentication
use_http_proxy
use_same_proxy

There's also a collection at /system/proxy, including:

autoconfig_url
ftp_host
ftp_port
mode
secure_host
secure_port
socks_host
socks_port

Network Proxy Preferences on F11 also provides multiple location
choices.

I imagine large scale deployments of Sugar would use the gconf keys
directly rather than expose all this complexity unnecessarily.

[Sugar-devel] [RELEASE] Sugar Settings Manager 0.87.1

2010-02-08 Thread Sayamindu Dasgupta
Hello,
I just release Sugar Settings Manager version 0.87.1
Currently the settings manager, if started while Sugar 0.87.x is
running, monitors the font related GConf keys and applies the changes
real-time (as the GConf values change).
Note that this is not yet a part of core Sugar (glucose). We decided
to keep this separate till it gets a reasonable amount of packaging
done. For proper integration, check out the patches at
http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/1692

Link: 
http://download.sugarlabs.org/sources/external/sugar-settings-manager/sugar-settings-manager-0.87.1.tar.gz

Thanks,
Sayamindu
