"sugarize" tool and Tux Paint

I wrote a tool to make normal X programs to run under sugar. As a demo, it runs a logo program. http://dev.laptop.org/~albert/xlogo-1.xo http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=users/albert/sugarize;a=summary How it works: A launcher program places Sugar's incompatible command arguments into the environment,

Java question

I am trying to find out how to run Java GUI applications on the OLPC. I installed Java by downloading and executing jre-6u3-linux-i586-rpm.bin It works--if I ssh -X into the machine from a Linux box, I can successfully run Java Web Start applications such as /usr/java/jre1.6.0_03/bin/javaws http

Re: Unofficial Debian+XFCE build

I've installed this per your instructions, but it doesn't seem to be working. I have three questions: 1. The build appears to take up a bit over 400MB on disk. Were you aware of this? 2. /versions/boot/alt seems to point to /version/pristine/f7b6242983ab837d642bacbffe32cc8. Doing ln -sf /versions/

I signed up for a developer key, so I have one now. But what can I do with it? How can I be sure I'm not going to nuke the XO beyond all recovery? Is there some kind of documentation on what's risky and what's safe? ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.lapt

BTW... 'free' is a vauge and funny term. I'd argue that BSD and Apache are much freer then GPL because they push no terms upon the users. Others would probably argue that GPL is "more free' because what it pushes on the users is that they must in term make their code free. Its all in how you loo

I'd recommend not closing the bugs until you ask for approval for update (are finished with the set of bugs), rather than doing so immediately on each bug. But waiting to close until after testing in an update.1 build hasn't worked out for anyone. We're also going to go through a diff of packages
