Wrapping Sugar activities for other desktops

[Martin Langhoff]

Must preface this noting that I am relatively naive about Sugar
internals. "Your thoughts are stupid and your face ugly" may be the
most appropiate answer to this - after all, I know about the server,
not the laptop :-)

 ...

Thinking about how to extend the appeal (and long term viability!) of
sugar activities, one thing that appears as a clear opportunity is to
create a wrapper that allows to run sugar activities in a conventional
gnome/kde/xfce/awesome desktop.

It could open a regular window (instead of the root window), and
mimick the minimal set of Sugar facilities that activities depend on.
Perhaps a thinner, lighter set of classes providing the sugar api (add
the path to these "shim" libraries early in the python path to mask
the "full blown" sugar libs).

Right now, if I install on ubuntu sugar-activities, I get turteart,
but I can only use it inside sugar-emulator. If we had such a shim so
that

  $ sugar-wrapper turtleart

would start turtleart in a regular window, then that command can be
given an icon in my gnome menu, kde's kickstart menu, etc.

Of course there are some hard things

 - clipboard support probably needs glue
 - journal behaviour - though it might be relatively simple
 - naming documents that the user hasn't named explicitly
 - the initial steps of sharing a collaborative activity
(announcement, invites, etc)

but if it's within reach, it can be worthwhile.

thoughts? bricks?

cheers,

1. I and someone else updated http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Live_CD , taking 
the opportunity to clean up some of the other Live CDs here.
2. I added this to http://wiki.laptop.org/go/LiveBackup_XO-LiveCD as well.
3. I updated the broken livecd link in 
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Template:Latest_Releases (the green box on 
many wiki pages) to point to 2.

(I suggest you use ISO 8601 date format in the future.  081106 looks 
like August 11th 2006 to us clueless North Americans, "2008-11-06" has 
no ambiguity for anyone anywhere.  Also, release notes as a 310kB PDF?!)

Dumb question: what is the difference between a .iso and a .img file 
like http://download.laptop.org/xo-1/custom/g1g1/gg-767-4/gg-767-4.img ? 
  Can you mechanically transform one into the other? 1. says "copy [a 
.iso] to a prepared USB flash drive" but presumably it's not that simple.

1. links to that, it also links to the sugar-jhbuild liveCD page 
http://www.sugarlabs.org/go/Live_CD , which the sugarlabs #Starch 
section doesn't mention.


I need to go to a trade show to get USB flash drives and SD cards for 
all these live CDs and Linux distros and SqueakNOS... :)

Ah, I remember we discussed this way back then... I think that this
way is better, but there was a specific case to consider when we
discussed, I think the same one you raised nowabout SOTP.

I'm happy to wait untilyou have a chance to test it before calling the
release done :-)

BTW, Reuben is about to start playing with SOTP, he's been following
your posts, so he seems quite clued in into what he needs to do. If
there's any hidden trap or trick that hasn't been discussed on the
list, now's the time to post it!

This is super cool.  We should look for a group who could print a

[Server-devel] XS 0.5 RC - getting closer...

[Martin Langhoff]

http://xs-dev.laptop.org/xs/other/OLPCXS-0.5-dev8-i386.iso

This is our release candidate. Other than a minor change to the name
of a config setting, I think we are _done_.

I'll run one last set of tests - I specifically want to doublecheck
that upgrades work cleanly from xs-0.4. Please join me in testing --

   Is there a feature of the XS you specially care about? This is the
time to test it...

And then we're done. Some bits need documentation, I'll work on docs
in the coming days.

cheers,

Correcto. Hay otra causa posible, tambien relacionada al tiempo - a
veces los XO tienen problemas con la bateria del reloj y pierden la
fecha/hora. Esta pagina explica el problema

Activity Quit Signal

[Kristofer Plunkett]

Hi there,

I'm working on a Sugar activity called Classroom
Presenterand have the need to find out
when the activity is quitting.  It looks like
there is a 'quit' signal in activity.py, but it is part of a private
subclass.  The write_file() method seems like the only way to gain access to
that information, but that method also gets called occasionally when the
activity is not quitting, so this is not a reliable means.

Is there a better way?  A way at all?  If not, should I file a bug report?
Maybe try modifying activity.py and offering a patch?

Re: Error lease

quizá puede ser porque las claves de activación tienen una fecha de
vencimiento, las claves son válidas por cierto período de tiempo y luego de

Confirmed. By replacing the files now scim-anthy works even with
isolation enabled.
(my locale setting is ja_JP.utf8 in ~/.i18n and envrionment variable)
while IME still can't be activated for Etoys and Scratch.  Both are
using (basically same) Linux Squeak VM so root cause of the problem
would be same...
I will discuss with Etoys folks about this...

Re: sugar 0.83 in joyride

[Ed McNierney]

This certainly seems like a reasonable solution.

I'm fine with giving commit access to pilgrim/joyride to any Sugar
developers who want it.  Shall we just do that instead?

Thanks,

Error lease

[Henry Vélez Molina]

Hola a todos.

Hemos tenido problemas con la activación de algunas máquinas.
Sucede que se han venido desactivando sin previo aviso, las razones aun no
las tenemos seguras,
y cuando queremos volver a activarlas con las llaves anteriormente usadas
para el mismo propósito, y que habían
funcionado, ya no quieren funcionar.
Al analizar la usb, la XO indica con un signo de interrogación que no
encuentra la llave, pero cuando analizamos el archivo lease.sig,
notamos que el código serial está allí como todos  los demás. Esto no sucede
con con todas las laptops que acceden al mismo archivo para buscar la llave.


¿Conocen la razón por la cual las XO no encuentran la llave si ésta está en
el archivo lease.sig?
¿hay un límite determinado para utilizar la misma llave de activación en las
XO?
¿Conocen algunas de las causas de la desactivación repentina? = creemos que
puede ser un mal uso de la laptop, o las variaciones bruscas de la corriente
eléctrica en esta localidad.

Les agradecemos de antemano su ayuda.

Saludos


Hello everybody.

We've had problems with the activation of some machines.
It happens that have been off without notice, the reasons we have not yet
safe,
and when we want to re-activate them with the keys previously used for the
same purpose, and that they had
worked, they do not want to work right now.
analyzing the usb, the XO shows a sign of interrogation that do not find the
key, but when we look at the file lease.sig,
we noticed that the serial code is there as everyone else. This does not
happen with all the laptops that access the same file to find the key.

Do you know why the XO can not find the key if it is in the file lease.sig?
Is there a limit to use the same activation key on the XO?
Do you know some of the causes of the sudden deactivation? = we think that
could be for misuse of the laptop, or the sharp variations in electrical
current in this location.

We thank you in advance for your help.

Greetings

Re: sugar 0.83 in joyride

[Tomeu Vizoso]

Hi again,

I'm thinking that perhaps best would be to create a joyride branch
similar to faster that sugar developers could administer by ourselves.

In that way we wouldn't be blocking on each other so often and Sugar
developers could more easily adapt Sugar to the OLPC hardware.

Sounds good?

If there's any problem with this, please explain.

Thanks,

Tomeu
