Re: [Sugar-devel] Wacom Bamboo with XO?
Wade Brainerd wrote: BTW, if any of you guys playing around with Colors! have access to multiple XOs, I would love to hear how the collaboration feature is working (and what you think about it). -Wade I just tried the pre-release v12 of Colors! in collaboration mode with 2 XOs, both running Wacom graphics tablets via an ejabber server (xo1share.org). It was pretty cool watching strokes from one Colors! Activity appear on the other: * The display update seems to be by continuous stroke: XO #1 user draws a curve not lifting pen. After the stylus is lifted from the tablet the stroke updates on XO #2. * The mouse would need to be moved on the other XO for the screen updates to propagate. * The colors and brush parameters are common to both XOs although the display of the settings widget (color and brush type) did not update with changes from the other side. * Since the cursor is shared between the two activities, it would be better if drawing on one Activity moved the corresponding cursor on the other XO. * Erasing the screen was only an option on XO #1 (the inviter) *but* the clear screen did not propagate to the other XOs so further drawing on XO #1 was not in sync with the images on XO #2. Suggest that clear image be propagated with the option to do a local save to Journal on XO #2 so that work is not lost if they wish to keep it. * It would be really cool if each XO had its own pointer with brush/palette/... options. One mode that would be nice might be a sort of side-by-side version where each XO would be able to draw its own part of the screen (by mask, not necessarily by rectangle) so the students could work on a joint drawing. * A mural mode would be excellent with a large virtual drawing area and each XO able to pan around and draw wherever * The mouse drawing problem was also visible in collaboration.

Downloading Scratch project to XO
Hi I would like to download Scratch projects from a local server to the XO. On the server I added the following line to the file /etc/mime.types: application/scratch sb The apache server is now sending files with sb-extension with mime type application/scratch. On the XO the mime type gets stored in the datastore metadata-file. After adding the following line to the Scratch activity/activity.info file, Scratch gets started when clicking on the Scratch project in the Journal: mime_types = application/scratch The problem is that the project doesn't get opened. The scratch start script bin/scratch-activity gets called with the -u argument holding a datastore object ID, but the script doesn't handle the -u argument. How can I convert a datastore object ID to a filename, so scratch can open the project? And how do I get the necessary permissions to access the file?

[Server-devel] Collaboration unreliable 0.5
I apologise if this issue has already been dealt with on this list. I have some problems reliably getting collaboration working when using server version 0.5. I have been using a laptop with an USB active antenna and after a few attempts managed to get 0.5 working and configured with no errors. The hostname was changed in the /etc/sysconfig/network file, eJabberd configured and started, shared roster group Online created, XOs registered. Over the past couple of weeks I have noticed that collaboration is intermittent. This is the scenario: - I have XS 0.5 running as above, with four XOs (two XO-1s and two B4s, all running version 8.2) - Four XOs are all connected to school server and show IP addresses in range 172.18.10.2 - 5 - I can ping between all XOs and to/from XS - I can ping the fully qualified domain name - I can log onto eJabberd admin from an XO and see four online users, all are registered - I can see the Who are you pages in the browser on all the XOs So, eJabberd appears to be working OK, but none of the XOs show any others in the neighbourhood view. This is intermittent; 30 mins ago I did have 3 out of 4 showing, but after rebooting everything and waiting 30 mins, still no sign of any. I have used the same set up exactly with XS version 0.4 and it's all solid - the neighbourhood view fills up rapidly after connecting. What's causing the unreliability with 0.5?
