Problem installing and running hulahop on ubuntu 8.10

2009-09-04 Thread vijit singh
Hello all,

I am facing problem in installing and running hulahop on ubuntu 8.10. Here
are the steps taken-

1. Firstly, I build the req xulrunner and xpcom libraries, though xulrunner
was already installed by default, anyways it was upgraded in the process.
2. Then, I build the hulahop libraries using the ubuntu synaptics manager.
3. However, if I try to import hulahop, here is the error which I get -
http://pastebin.be/20717 .
4. As, the req. library - libpyxpcom.so is already installed in the
xulrunner package ( I checked it , was present at /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.0.6
), so it seemed that there are some linking problems and thus firstly, I
tried to adjust the path using the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and the PYTHONPATH
variables, however they didn't work.
5. Then, I copied all the contents of the xulrunner folder ( containing the
file libpyxpcom.so) to the hulahop folder, so that in this case even if the
files are not linked properly, the compiler would be able find the req file,
however still the same error continued.
6. So, it seems that the hulahop files which got installed are broken, but I
have tried installing the hulahop file by this method 3 times, they didn't
work.
7. Is there any other method to build hulahop on ubuntu8.10, the 'sudo
apt-get ' method will also install the same files I believe, so some other
method where I can build from the hulahop source itself.

I will soon be trying it on Fedora also but since currently I am not having
a Fedora build with me , so the process might just take some time, till then
kindly give your suggestions about how this problem can be solved.. Also,
please let me know if I am wrong in any of my steps.

Regards,
VIJIT aka sumit

[Server-devel] splitting large xol

2009-09-04 Thread Sameer Verma
We have a offline dictionary that we'd like to ship as xol. Its
tar.bz2 is at 63MB. Reading the instructions, it looks like the bundle
will have to be split across two files.
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Content_bundles#Selecting_content We do have
a schoolserver in the mix, so hosting both parts will be ok (I hope
so!).

How do we split the xol across two bundles?

You still get this error if you run this?

Why? 63mb should be fine in 1 bundle.

 Hi Tomeu,

 Thanx for replying.



 You still get this error if you run this?

 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.0.6 python -c import hulahop

 Well, running this command was still giving errors, I mean it didn't started
 the python shell by itself, it simply ended, so in the next step I tried to
 run python explicitly, but still the error was there. However, when I tried
 the following command-

  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.0.6 python

 This invoked the python shell implicitly and now when I tried to import
 hulahop, it was getting imported.

Good, so the library is linked to correctly.

 However, still if I try to import
 hulahop.webview, it is giving errors. Here is the complete log-

 http://pastebin.be/20740

#
/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/xpcom/xpt.py:72: RuntimeWarning:
tp_compare didn't return -1 or -2 for exception

I think this is due to some python C modules being compiled with a
python version and others with a different version.

Can you check?

Regards,

Tomeu

 It seems to me a bit strange, I mean when the hulahop module can be
 imported, then it should not give errors while importing individual files of
 hulahop, or may be I am missing something. Kindly give your suggestions.

The page says: 
How big is your collection? If the size of your entire collection
is between 5-20MB, you're all set. Otherwise, you'll need to make two
bundles-- one bundle of 5-20MB for use on individual laptops, and a
second bundle of unlimited (but reasonable) size for inclusion on each
school's library server.

I'm trying to use videochat9 with XS 0.6 (latest yum'd) and it keeps
saying telepathy error. Any clues? Does it work for anyone else?
AFAICR it worked with xs0.4

Hi Tomeu,



 #
 /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/xpcom/xpt.py:72: RuntimeWarning:
 tp_compare didn't return -1 or -2 for exception

 I think this is due to some python C modules being compiled with a
 python version and others with a different version.


I think this is a runtime warning and not an error, so the exception which
is coming in the log is not because of this warning. Still I tried removing
python2.4 and running only with python2.5 to ensure only one python version
is throughout, if that is what you wanted to say. Still, the same problem
occurs.

I think the error is because it is unable to include xpt.py module, however
this is very strange because on line no 16 at http://pastebin.be/20740 , xpt
is imported properly, which means the libraries are connected properly, but
when we again try to include it in line 24, it gives error. The only
difference b/w line 16 and line 24 is that at the latter one it tries to
include it from a folder not in the same location as the module while in the
former one it was imported from the same folder. Any suggestions ?

Anyways, I also tried including the /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/xpcom/
path also before running python by giving the following command-

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/xpcom/ :
/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.0.6 python

but still the same problem is occuring. Kindly give your suggestions.

All,

Is there anyone who has tried running hulahop on ubuntu8.10 or anyother
version of ubuntu. Did anyone else faced similar problems?

VIJIT aka sumit

Re: [Sugar-devel] updates and testing SocialCalc on the Sugar Live CD

2009-09-04 Thread Edward Cherlin
I downloaded SocialCalc from the Activities subdomain to the journal,
where it installed and ran with no difficulty. I will give it some
serious testing soon.

 Dear community members,

 We are preparing for the next release of SocialCalc on Sugar. Localization
 infrastructure, canonicalization of the save format and collaboration will
 be the key features available in the next release. We are also looking
 forward to develop interoperability between SocialCalc format and a number
 of other spreadsheet formats like .wk3/.wk4/csv/excel/open office
 spreadsheet. We have recently received a number of requests on developing
 interoperability between SocialCalc and .wk3/.wk4 format, which has been a
 challenging problem to work on. Hope to get this feature ready before the
 next release.

 Lately, I have been testing SocialCalc on the Sugar Live CD, and have run
 into issues. I can't seem to get SocialCalc to start.  I fired up the Sugar
 LiveCD, and opened up the USB icon in my journal.  I can see the file
 SocialCalc.xo on my USB stick.  When I click on it, I get a start button,
 but then nothing happens.  Below is a gears image, which starts something
 that looks like a developer interface. Not sure, where I have been going
 wrong. Any help on this issue is highly appreciated.

Have you tried copying it to the journal and then bringing up the menu?

 Please visit the SocialCalc on Sugar page at
 http://seeta.in/j/products-and-services/socialcalc-on-sugar.html. The
 activity is available for download both from the SEETA website
 (http://seeta.in) and from activities.sugarlabs.org. If you have any
 questions, or would like to add suggestions/comments/feature requests,
 please do so here.

 Thank you for your continued support.

 Manu
