Re: Uruguay violates GPL by deleting root on OLPCs
Please, when you say Uruguay you should just say Plan Ceibal. Has anyone formally requested Plan Ceibal to correct this situation? Thanks, Gabriel 2010/7/7 John Gilmore g...@toad.com: Ignoring the fact that some deployments ship without root access. Is the practice of completely locking-down the laptops something we'd even want to encourage? Shipping the laptops TiVoized like Uruguay does has put them into serious legal trouble. OLPC should definitely not encourage anybody else to do this. Why bankrupt your project by losing a copyright enforcement lawsuit? Shipping the laptops without root access is a direct violation of the GPLv3 license on a dozen packages (probably 50+ packages in later Fedoras). They have shipped binaries, while using technological means to deny the recipient the practical ability to upgrade or replace them with versions modified or chosen by the recipient. Only an idiot would distribute hundreds of thousands of units while setting themselves up to pay the Free Software Foundation any amount of money they demand. (Given the way OLPC and Uruguay have ignored the notice that they're in violation, for years, I do hope FSF extracts both future compliance, and its next ten years of operating expenses, from these scofflaws.) Or does Uruguay think, Sue us for copyright violation in our own courts -- we'll make sure you lose?? In other words, do they just brazenly steal the GNU Project's software, knowing it's wrong?

Re: Adobe Flash 10.1 + AIR 2.0 on the XO
Hello, interesting thread. FYI: One of our largest deployments and two other smaller deployments have received approval to ship Adobe Flash in their builds. In Uruguay, Ceibal started shipping Adobe Flash with their official build at the beginning of 2009. My personal observation is that this came from a high demand on two fronts: kids and teachers complaining about youtube and online games on one side, and local companies used to develop web pages and such that wanted to create content but only had resources to do it in flash and complained about gnash being too restrictive on the other side. As far as I can see, the results are mixed. Playing youtube videos and other online music/video players is a big hit. However, the flash player performance in the XO is very bad, kids complain that they can't play most of the games because characters move very slowly, etc. Local companies didn't add much to the content pool and all they can do in terms of business plan is get some government agency give them money for delivering a message. You can see some examples in: http://www.ceibal.edu.uy/index.php?option=com_contentview=articleid=216Itemid=75 My suggestion would be to use whatever contacts you may have at Adobe to communicate that: 1) they have to improve the player's performance on the XO 2) they have to make developers tools available for the XO 3) they have to develop a sugar wrapper to run swf files as activities and if they do that, flash may be a viable alternative for deployments. Otherwise it would never be. All this, IMHO. Regards, Gabriel ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
Re: [Sugar-devel] ASLO vs. wiki.laptop.org activities (was Re: ASLO Suggestion)
Hi,
Whatever the decision on this topic is, I would appreciate that the
interests of the already installed base are taken into account. I agree that
the Activities/All page is outdated and ASLO has a much better interface.
However, at least here in Uruguay, most of the kids and teachers rely on
Activities/All as a starting point to get new activities. This is because
Browse's home page had a link to the Activities page. It was very
frustrating when most of the activities were moved from Activities to
Activities/All without a proper communication to the users. I would not like
to see that happen again.
I understand that this is mostly an issue for Latu in the first place, OLPC
in the second place, and Sugarlabs in the third place. Would it be possible
to get an agreement between all involved parties about the best way to move
forward?

Gabriel

I added a bullet to this and http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities :

versions of the [[Sugar]] environment, ''some'' of which may work on
OLPC [[builds]].
..., the information there is uneven

The current split organization is a mess and duplication provides
twice as many opportunities to be wrong. There's a dozen other lists
of all activities on wiki.laptop.org besides the Activities/All

some isn't going to hurt. So just be brave and change it to

Perhaps the easiest fix would
be to link from each Activity position on that page to that Activity's
ASLO page;
Sure, you could replace the fancy activity descriptions on
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/All with a simple link to their
ASLO page.
people searching the Activity population would quickly
understand the different/parallel nature of the OLPC page and ASLO.
If you can understand it, please explain it ;-) Activities/All
claims This is a list of all stable Activities that can be installed
in the latest Sugar., but
* they are NOT all getting updated
* latest Sugar meaning what? OLPC doesn't ship latest Sugar.
As
far as I know, there aren't any issues with the very latest versions
running on XO-1s, would I be correct in assuming this?
You're incorrect. Sugar 0.84 is different from the Sugar 0.82.1 in
OLPC release 8.2.0 and 8.2.1. I understand there are issues for
Browse, Etoys, and Read which depend on libraries and already have
separate latest versions. I assume some other activities have
problems. Unfortunately, most activity pages on a.sl.o and on
wiki.laptop.org don't specify their compatibility clearly, and it's
impossible to tell the difference between Old version NN is still
truly the latest version that works on OLPC's 8.2 and Nobody's
bloody updated this out-of-date info.
Or does OLPC
prefer to identify known good version, the ones updated through the
XO Control Panel?
In OLPC release 8.2.0 and subsequent releases, the Software update
control panel updates installed activities using a complex fallback
mechanism involving *other, separate* pages such as Activities/8.2
and/or Activities/G1G1/8.2 , see
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Software_update . Those subpages are where
known good version info must live for Software update to work, while
other activity pages are mostly useless out-of-date cruft. Maintaining
all these pages is manual and complicated, see
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Maintaining_activity_web_information , and
for many activities it isn't happening.
Hope this helps,

Not sure if this will help, but Moon-5 implements a couple of things that seem similar to what you might be after. I still need to do a cleanup of various source odds and ends, but have a look at the moon.py blob at: http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=activities/moon;a=tree The read_and_parse_preferences method should be helpful, as should write_file, basically it's storing and retrieving a couple of values*** into $SUGAR_ACTIVITY_ROOT/data/defaults so that the view settings will now stick. The settings are also going into the Journal entry, with Journal data taking precedents over default data (so resumes pickup where they left off and clean activity launches inherit the last used defaults). *** I was recommended to use json as a general way of storing preference like data as it's a clean text format that can potentially be parsed easily by other code if needed. --Gary ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
Re: testing 8.2 using qemu
Ton, Thank you for your response, it clarifies the problem. I will try to compile qemu and hopefully get 8.2 running. Is there another way of testing 8.2 without using an emulator? I have the sugar package in Ubuntu 8.04. I guess there should be a way of installing different versions of sugar but couldn't find information on how to do it. Thanks, Gabriel 2008/9/18 Ton van Overbeek [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Gabriel Eirea wrote: Hi list, I'm having a hard time trying to test an activity in 8.2 using qemu. The activity (Conozco Uruguay) doesn't work in 8.2 although it works fine in previous versions. We suspect it is related to rainbow (trac #8334). Since there is little documentation on rainbow (I still don't know what it is and why including it broke the activity) I'm going to follow a hack suggested by brian. The thing is, I can't make builds 759 nor 760 run using qemu. The configuration is fine because I can run build 659. In 759 it stops when saying Booting from Hard Drive... and in 760 it says that the kernel needs 3dnow. I downloaded the images from http://pilgrim.laptop.org/~pilgrim/xo-1/streams/8.2/ Has anyone tested the images with qemu? Can anyone suggest how to proceed? I'm very interested in making my activity work in 8.2! There are/were two problems. The first one (8.2 image not booting at all) has been solved with 8.2-760. The second one (3DNow required) is due to the change to the 2.6.25 kernel for 8.2. The kernel checks for CPU features and does not continue booting when it does not find them. The kernel for the XO is build for the AMD LX-Geode and therefore looks for 3DNow. If you would run qemu on a machine with an AMD processor it most likely will work. If you are running it on an Intel processor, you get the kernel needs 3dnow message. See also trac #8369 (http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/8369). In the CVS version of qemu you can specify a cpu type (use -cpu=athlon for the XO) and then you can run 8.2 and recent joyride devel-ext3 images in qemu on an Intel based machine. I have a privately compiled version which runs under Windows XP (have not tried it under Vista). Let me know if you are interested in this one and I can send it to you. If you are using Linux you will have to compile your own qemu. There have been some efforts to get a qemu specific image not requiring 3DNow next to the existing ext3 images (since the existing ext3 images have to be able to run on a real XO when booted from USB or SD) but so far this has not been realized.

Re: testing 8.2 using qemu
Michael, I appreciate your response, everyone in OLPC is always trying to help and that is comforting. Everything I write you should read it as feedback from a not very proficient activity developer. I'm not interested in whining nor blaming, just want to help pointing out things that from my perspective could be improved so we can have a stronger developer community. I have begun updating the [[Rainbow]] page to better reflect its audience (which is much wider than it was when the page was first created.) Thank you, this is great. Try removing the '-' and see if you get further. (Note: you can find all the code for checking these sorts of nits in the rainbow source code here: (look for functions named check_*) http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=security;a=blob;f=rainbow/rainbow/inject.py;hb=HEAD P.S. To read log files that have funny characters in them, run cat /path/to/log from a terminal. It looks like I've been completely off the mark. I dissmissed the log file because of all the strange characters. I will test the bundle without the hyphen as soon as I can get 8.2 running on the emulator. Thank you! $SUGAR_ACTIVITY_ROOT means 'the value of the environment variable named SUGAR_ACTIVITY_ROOT'. The concatenated '/data' part means append the string '/data' to the previous string. In python, you could perform this operation as follows: import os print os.path.join(os.environ['SUGAR_ACTIVITY_ROOT'], 'data') I believe that sugar's 'env' module provides some helper functions for accomplishing this task. -- Can you suggest a good place to record this tidbit where you might have found it? I appreciate your explanation but my question was not about the literal meaning but about where in the filesystem does the variable point to. My thinking was: I need to read a configuration file that I myself generate and ship in the bundle, but then rainbow doesn't let me read it because it's in $HOME, so where should I put that file and how do I put it there?

No, I started much later, probably around June'08. I wish that email message was available in the wiki because it explains the issue better. Also, I followed the pygame-olpcgames route to sugarize the activity, it would be nice to have the issue clarified in the olpcgames page too. 3) there was no clear information on how to fix it, and a) Did you have difficulty locating your activity's log file? b) Did you have trouble reading the log? I couldn't test it on 8.2 because of the issues with qemu. The log was in the trac ticket but I wasn't able to read it because of all the strange characters. c) Did you encounter other information which led you astray? The only information on rainbow I could find was in the low-level API link and it explained something about the directories, so i thought that should be it. (How could I realize it was the hyphen in the bundle name?) 4) the qemu images were not working OLPC cannot do everything -- have you considered finding some way to keep the QEMU images in good working order? I wouldn't know how to start with the image thing. I can't even figure out which build number I have in my Ubuntu setup :) I understand OLPC can't do everything and I'm trying to contribute something according to my capabilities, but I would say that OLPC should think strongly about giving the developers community the tools that are needed to create and test activities. Maybe there are other ways of doing it (what does everyone use?), but for me it is the ubuntu packages and qemu. I'm concerned that this doesn't help create a strong developer community. Explain more please. I believe that lowering the barriers to entry should be a priority for OLPC. This means, among other things: - well-documented API - stable API or at least communicating changes efficiently - tutorials and examples - developer and test environments I know efforts are made in all these areas, but I believe more is needed.

7. Preferred development model
[X] Central tree. Every developer can push his changes directly to the
project's git tree. This is the standard model that will be familiar to
CVS and Subversion users, and that tends to work well for most projects.
[ ] Maintainer-owned tree. Every developer creates his own git tree, or
multiple git trees. He periodically asks the maintainer to look at one
or more of these trees, and merge changes into the maintainer-owned,
main tree. This is the model used by the Linux kernel, and is
well-suited to projects wishing to maintain a tighter control on code
entering the main tree.
If you choose the maintainer-owned tree model, but wish to set up some
shared trees where all of your project's committers can commit directly,
as might be the case with a discussion tree, or a tree for an individual
feature, you may send us such a request by e-mail, and we will set up the
tree for you.
8. Set up a project mailing list:
[ ] Yes, named after our project name
[ ] Yes, named __
[X] No
When your project is just getting off the ground, we suggest you eschew
a separate mailing list and instead keep discussion about your project
on the main OLPC development list. This will give you more input and
potentially attract more developers to your project; when the volume of
messages related to your project reaches some critical mass, we can
trivially create a separate mailing list for you.
If you need multiple lists, let us know. We discourage having many
mailing lists for smaller projects, as this tends to
stunt the growth of your project community. You can always add more lists
later.
9. Commit notifications
[ ] Notification of commits to the main tree should be e-mailed to the list
we chose to create above
[ ] A separate mailing list, projectname-git, should be created for commit
notifications
