Re: [Sugar-devel] wrong Activity versions for 8.2(.1) -- Etoys, Memorize, Terminal, Read, others

I guess, its more complex issue then just updating wiki (btw updating several wikis after bumping new version could be a pain for activity author). I think having one method for all distributions to get updates is much attractive way, so I've proposed it for 0.86 roadmap[1]. [1] http://wiki.suga

OK, I created a new stick with Fedora LiveUSB Creator v.3.6.5 on a Windows machine (an EeePC which I usually boot into Sugar with that snapshot on an SD Card) using Soas-200903051021.iso. Then, I inserted the stick into my Mac Mini, opened the Terminal application, and executed the following using

Hi Caroline, I had an idea in the shower this am (some of my best ideas come while I am in the shower). I think I may know what is going on with the Macs and live Sugar CDs and how it might be fixed. According to Apple, when you boot with the option key down, the computer looks for all boo

Re: [Sugar-devel] [IAEP] soas live cd on MacBook? How?

Hi Caroline, I haven't gotten the cd to work yet. Created 2 on the Mac. Neither works. Wonder if making it on the Windows side would do it...will try to find out how to do that. USB didn't work, even with the boot-helper. I can, and have, run Sugar with the Virtual Box. In fact, I keep it

blessing would be useful for enabling 'boot from USB'. 'boot from CD' or 'boot from USB with helper CD' don't need it. 2009/5/24 Andrea Mangiatordi : > Jonas Smedegaard wrote: >> You cannot run the currently released SoaS on a PowerPC Macintosh. > > That's why I wrote "so I can't test it directly"

[Sugar-devel] wrong Activity versions for 8.2(.1) -- Etoys, Memorize, Terminal, Read, others

XO's running 8.2.0 and 8.2.1 (thus Sugar 0.82.1) can use the Software update control panel to update an "activity group" of activities and collections. I believe Software update on 8.2.x determines the latest versions from http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/G1G1/8.2 Unfortunately these version
