[Sugar-devel] Joke Machine question
I'm using Joke Machine 11 on an XO-1 os852 v/ 10.1.2 I want to share joke books via the server by uploading and downloading, and also via a flashdrive. Should this be possible? In the first case when I download the file that was uploaded from the Journal (a Joke Machine activity record containing a Joke book that I want to share), the file type is lost and there is no way to load it. In the second case, I try dragging and dropping the same into a flash drive but nothing is copied over. I may have missed some conceptual thing about how it is supposed to be used.

Small nitpick from me: use os.path.join instead of str methods to

Yes, I saw that too, but the existing code uses
for entry in dirs:
if entry.startswith('.'):
continue
full_path = dir_path + '/' + entry
and trying to change code unnecessarily is how defects are introduced,
as has already been seen.
I also don't like the idea of doing changes for portability unless they
can be tested on alternate platforms.
The same pattern occurs in extensions/cpsection/language/model.py,
src/jarabe/model/network.py, src/jarabe/model/shell.py, and
src/sugar/activity/activityservice.py if you'd like to change it.
Activities InfoSlicer, Read, and TamTam are also afflicted.
Ok, patches welcome :)
For the patch title I would prefer something like Make scanning of
storage devices more robust OLPC #10140, is slightly more
descriptive.
Right.
Acked-By: Simon Schampijersi...@laptop.org
Thanks.
Great, can you please push it? /me wants to do a new 0.84 release.

[http://saigonolpc.wordpress.com ] [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/olpcMAP ] Topics will include: * Digital mapping with the OLPC laptop, including offline maps platform supporting GeoRSS and KML (formats of Ushahidi and Google Earth)http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Ndoiron/OfflineMap * Use ofhttp://olpcMAP.net to map and network schools which use OLPC laptops and the Sugar operating system. The website and the laptops' software are free and open source. * Using the online map as a medium for photos, storytelling, and updates from local communities around the world OLPC has shipped two million laptops to schools around the world, including Haiti, Afghanistan, and other crisis-stricken regions. Educating students about the power of mapmaking and creating a communications / content portal serve the long-term interests of CrisisCommons. There has also been discussion of adults using the laptops to run Ushahidi and Sahana on a low-cost, low-power, and resilient system. Please RSVP if you would like to attend part of our map sprint. Content-creation is going to be a major focus of December 28-29 events, so it would be great if some of the crisis mapping community could be there.

[Sugar-devel] Fwd: Problem developing app
I meant to copy my answer to Rodrigo to the list: -- Forwarded message -- From: James Simmons nices...@gmail.com Date: Tue, Dec 7, 2010 at 9:39 AM Subject: Re: [Sugar-devel] Problem developing app To: Rodrigo rodr...@gmail.com Rodrigo, I've looked at your code and I see a couple of things that are questionable. First, your activity.info looks like this: [Activity] name = hMouse service_name = org.teleton.ingenieria.hMouse class = hMouse.hMouse icon = activity-hMouse activity_version = 1 license = GPLv3+ show_launcher = yes Instead of class = you might try this: exec = sugar-activity hMouse.hMouse Second, you have these statements: sys.path.insert(0, lib/) sys.path.insert(0, /home/olpc/Activities/hMouse.activity/) sys.path.insert(0, /home/olpc/Activities/hMouse.activity/lib/) These should not be necessary. Everything in your Activity should be either part of the normal Python path or contained in the XO bundle. You're also hard coding paths that may not always exist. If I test your Activity using sugar-emulator, for instance, I won't have those directories. Another questionable thing is this in Procesador.py: img = pygame.image.load(/home/olpc/Activities/hMouse.activity/help/camara.png) The path to the image should be relative to the XO bundle location, not an absolute path. Check out my Demoiselle activity here: http://git.sugarlabs.org/myo-sugar-activities-examples/mainline/trees/master/Making_Activities_Using_PyGame It looks like your Activity interacts with the hardware in unusual ways. This may not be allowed by Rainbow, which is a kind of sandbox used by Sugar. James Simmons On Tue, Dec 7, 2010 at 6:37 AM, Rodrigo rodr...@gmail.com wrote: I've made it!

Re: [Sugar-devel] [DESIGN] Messages notification
The design looks great, and I like the fact that it attaches each notification to its real context when there is a visible one (i,e an activity, journal, battery device icon, etc). How would it work with notifications that are not related to an activity or with a visible context? Possible use cases (examples): * XS registration messages. * Automatic updater messages. * Sugar critical errors report. * Institutional broadcast messages. * Anything that simply requires displaying a message.
