Re: OHMD Power Control Scripts (James Cameron)
OK, yes I've seen the OLPC-powerd package (RPM?) listed on the posts, I'll decline that for now in the interest of not fixing what works correctly :-) On Wed, Sep 2, 2009 at 4:12 PM, James Cameronqu...@laptop.org wrote: Thanks for the thanks.

updates and testing SocialCalc on the Sugar Live CD
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. 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 herehttp://seeta.in/wiki/index.php?title=Talk:SocialCalc_on_Sugar . Thank you for your continued support. Regards, Manu ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
Re: Smile activity version 1
Hi, I am always tempted to blame my code, but the same problem appeared in the Ambulant demo wrapper (player_pygtk.py) on Ubuntu. It appears only in the python wrapper (not the C++ version). The Ambulant team has opened a ticket. The problem appears to be an interaction between the gtk.main() event loop and the Ambulant redraw logic. Player_pygtk.py doesn't call gtk.main but instead uses a loop: while gtk.events_pending(): gtk.main_iteration() I think it is safe to rule out Sugar as a culprit, but not my building of the Ambulant package!

Re: updates and testing SocialCalc on the Sugar Live CD
Lately, I have been testing SocialCalc on the Sugar Live CD, and have run
into issues.
Don't know what is working/not_working for you, but as an experiment
I just tried SocialCalc on my XO-1 with build soas-2-beta (this
build was booted from an USB stick) -- socialcalcactivity-1.xo (size
291510 bytes) is installed to that build as an Activity. SocialCalc
launched fine. I am not familiar with spreadsheets -- so I did not
know *how* to test if SocialCalc was working correctly - but I was
able to click various tabs (eg Help), and to end SociaCalc normally.
mikus (attached log from this run of SocialCalc)
p.s. I do not know if SocialCalc needs Java, or not. The build I
ran has had openjdk 1.6.0 (Java) installed on it.
