Matplotlib vs PyCha

Hi, In continuation with my previous email[1] in which I had mentioned that I was looking for python packages that would enable me to do graphing/plotting of data in various formats. I searched through a series of packages. One that I really liked was gtksheet (or gtkextra?)[2] which had various

Ratpoison on the XO

I installed Xubuntu on a USB stick following the excellent instructions on the OLPC News Forum. From there, it was a simple matter to apt-get ratpoison and create a .xsession file with "exec ratpoison" to start it. However, I would like to be able to run ratpoison instead of Sugar sometimes on the

Activity Icons gone

Hi all, I've suddenly lost all the icons for activities, after trying to update the Develop Activity. I deleted the entry for the older version from the journal, and then fired up the newer version. I did notice before firing up the new version that the icon for the develop activity was not there

This is a little off-topic, but just wondering... In my work on Develop, I am looking at a similar situation: application bundles. These are zip files with the extension .xo. My question is, why bother zipping them if the file system compresses anyway? Why not, you ask. I know that ziptools can w

We'ved ordered 2 of the G1G1 XOs for development at Concord Consortium but since they haven't arrived yet I installed Update.1 690 on one of our B2-7 XOs. The install completed and the system works but it is extremely slow -- many minutes to start applications or switch contexts (presumably be

If you use the rpm (remove the old, add the new) you don't have to recompile anything. The issue is you need a driver that supports OpenGL (in hardware), or use Mesa's software OpenGL (which the rpm does). The libraries that you compile in for your OpenGL program (GL, GLU, etc) are besides the

Ahh yes - I have not been able to track down the issue completely, but I think those 0 byte files are generated during merging of PO files with newer POT files.
