Re: Need help installing an activity
My directory structure for the activity is: ->activity -->has the .info file and the icon ->bin --> has a shell script and the exe which i have to run ->lib --> has the libs which my application is dependent on -> MANIFEST file I used the information in this link : http://www.catmoran.com/olpc/#sugxterm to sugarize my activity. Is there any problem with the structure of this bundle?? Also I am relatively new to development on the XO. Is there any command where I can know the version of my sugar so that I can provide that information to you??

Which version of the software are you using? Some old versions would give you that error if the bundle was malformed.

Sorry didnt observe it properly. It is a D-BUS timeout. I am runing the command from the terminal activity on an actual XO.

You can also install an activity from the Journal by dragging the .xo bundle from the USB device.

Re: Need help installing an activity
Are you sure it is a network timeout, not a D-Bus timeout? Also, the script will not work from the console, only from the Terminal activity. If this does not work, please open a bug report. - Bert - On 02.06.2008, at 12:23, shivaprasad javali wrote: > Hi Bert, > > I tried sugar-install-bundle its giving me an error > timeout in the network connection.

Re: Need help installing an activity
Hi Bert, I tried sugar-install-bundle its giving me an error timeout in the network connection. Do i have to be connected in the network before I can run that command?? Also i tried Simon's suggestion in the follow up mail. When i try to install it through the browse activity it just stays on that page for a long time with a waiting mouse cursor and then abruptly quits without installing the activity. Also i cannot find an entry for that download in the journal Can you think of anything that i might be doing wrong?? When I use unzip to unzip the .xo file in the appropriate directory and restart the xserver it works fine.

Yes. Use "sugar-install-bundle /path/to/bundle.xo" from the Terminal activity, which unzips the activity and tells the Sugar shell that it was installed. > Also can I do the installation through the journal if I have > the .xo file on a thumb drive?? Yes. Clicking the .xo in the Journal view of your USB drive will install it. - Bert - ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
