So I scan or read all the lists on lists.laptop.org and I try to stay up to date with wiki.laptop.org. Hello Greg, Sugar is a project with a very large scope. Many of the core contributors believes that the resources OLPC is able to devote to it are not going to be sufficient to fullfill it's long term goals or even to get near enough to them. We need to make Sugar available and used also outside OLPC to attract more contributors. That's the very reason of the existence of SugarLabs. On the long term that's going to be very useful to those 400K XOs in the field. That requires to establish Sugar as an independent FOSS project and building a community around it. And it's important for the identity of the project that the mailing lists and other services are available from its domain. After 8.2 is out and we are all a little less pressed, I'd like to propose that: 1 We move [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] OLPC specific issues related to Sugar can be discussed on [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2 We move Fructose git repositories on sugarlabs.org. They would be a couple of good steps towards the long-term goal and they would not hinder in any way the immediate OLPC goals. Cheers, Marco Right, the independent sugar FOSS project is the reason for all this moving. As marco said, we are quite sure that in the end this will help sugar to mature which will directly make the experience on the XO much better.

Basically, for me to initiate that, that other XO's icon needs to be shown in my Neighborhood view. Therefore you (and the people you want to contact) need to be on a community jabber server You are talking about how to *use* a jabber server once one is connected. I do not *have* a connected jabber server. It should *just work*. However there are many potential problems. You might be able to help us detect problems we haven't triggered ourselves, and by providing logs you can help us diagnose and therefore fix the problem, if it is something we can fix. Unfortunately there are many situations we can't fix, like a jabber server not running - it's up to the admin of that server to rectify that situation, and we are willing to provide assistance with that. To see people from remote locations, you need to be on the same Jabber server as they are. That requires: * Internet access - via an Access Point, or over the mesh via a school server, or over the mesh via a Mesh Portal Point XO which in turn has access, or even via some dialup technology like bluetooth+GPRS. * Network Manager to get an IP address * A jabber server to be configured * That server to be working * Other people to be on the server. What I an aware of is: (1) Months ago, I would boot my XO, and other XO icons would show up in my neighborhood view (from whatever jabber server I had specified via sugar-control-panel). Then remote users stopped showing up (no matter which server I had specified). (2) I do not myself know enough about 'telepathy', etc., to be able to figure out what is going wrong. That is why I am asking for assistance. presenceservice.log and the output of olpc-netstatus should tell us what was happening. You don't *need* to know much about the details, but we will explain for all who are interested. [I'm a G1G1 user, and do not have a Mesh Portal Point to use, nor a school server. Except for me not connecting to a jabber server, the internet works well for me.] I listed possible use cases to illustrate how the system operates... Connecting to an AP disables the mesh, so I don't see the value of what you want. Turning off the mesh while you are connected to a mesh channel would simply (in the proposal) turn the wireless radio off completely, resulting in neither gabble nor salut able to operate. Then I believe the language being used is imprecise. To me, turning off the mesh means turning off the __mesh__. If what is actually being turned off is the __radio__, then call it turning off the wireless radio. What I keep butting my head against is not being able to *control* what is going on. In my mind a 'mesh' is one interface, and an 'AP' is another interface. I would like to turn off the mesh when there are no local XOs, and no school server. You are saying that the 'AP' would get turned off as well. Not something I prefer. Mikus, tickets and logs, logs and tickets. The last time I focused on connectivity was Apr/May. What I concluded then was that my tickets got closed depending on the effect they had on the code -- *not* on whether I as a user could now experience consistent system behavior. We do now have QA people who will try the situation out and see whether the fault was fixed, and a process that involves their signoff before bugs are closed. I'm willing to file a ticket when I see something happening -- such as an error when accessing a Jabber server (though one such ticket was closed as 'invalid' - because that particular server had not given the expected answer). But it is difficult to decide what to ticket/log when I do not see something happening -- for instance, what if a connection to a Jabber server were never attempted by my XO? We appreciate the tickets, even they do on occasion get closed as Won't Fix, Works For Me, Invalid... That's no indication of your ticket-filing skills. We fix the things we can fix, and if it's something out of our control we need to remove it from our work queues. If there's some other way to resolve the situation perhaps we can do better about notifying others if their servers are down, and so on. The log files should tell us a lot about a given situation. presenceservice.log tells us when gabble and salut were running, what disconnected or failed to connect, what buddies were seen and so on. For any presence-related failure, including not seeing any buddies on your screen, presenceservice.log gives us an ability to diagnose the failure. It might not give us enough information, and if there is ultimately not enough information for us to know what failed we have no choice but to close the bug in some way. Sorry.

When I search for 'X2o' (case insensitive) I am taken directly to the page you identified, bypassing any search results page altogether. With regards to using activities on the XO I've tried to be accepting of the sugar interface style, but this activity crystallizes things for me. I'm now prepared to move to the sugar-sucks camp. I've used many and written a few I think nearly all of us are in the sugar-sucks-but-is-still-changing-lives-and-we're-gonna-do-everything-in-our-power-to-make-it-rock camp. We like it when people move from the sugar-sucks camp into ours! ;) I'd like to be clear that I don't think there is anything done poorly in the X2o activity itself. I think it all comes from having the sugar interface. The more I encounter sugar interfaced programs, the more I think Activities would be better off with just about anything else. Specific examples would be extremely beneficial here. Is it the fullscreen nature of the window? The toolbars? (Note, there's another interesting design proposed for these: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Designs/Toolbars) The GTK theme? There's lots of stuff missing still, but feedback on the particulars of what's already there would be great. I gave myself a long time to acclimatise, much longer than I would have for anything else, because the XO is really quite important. I really believe in the goals of the OLPC project, but I cant use the XO effectively! My daughter can't use the XO effectively! Perhaps you mean efficiently? (Most of us would agree with you, there.) However, there are certainly thousands of kids using them effectively despite the inefficiencies and bugs; the work we see coming back from deployments proves this, and keeps all of us going with the hope of making it far better in the future -- perhaps even effective and efficient enough for us spoiled folk. =) At what point does a do-over make more sense? I was prepared to take the resource usage and the slow bits and the joke that is the journal because they were all things that future work would have addressed. The cumbersome user interface is a killer though because it's designed to be like that. Again, without examples a rant is nothing but hot air. What parts are so fundamentally broken that not even future software updates could fix them? The Journal is a pretty good example of a fundamental part of the system that's mostly non-functional at present, but we have some good designs for it (http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Designs/Journal) and I expect that, at some point, hopefully soon, we'll also have the resources to implement them. - Eben ___ Sugar mailing list Sugar@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar

[sugar] [PATCH] 5657: don't install activities in Rainbow's loophole (and draft 2 of bigger patch for 9.1)
attachments, in order:
(1) 0...the proposed patch to sugar
(2) suga..9.1 sugar part of a draft patch for 9.1, only read it if you're
interested, scarcely tested.
(3) 0...s-l proposed patch for sugar-toolkit
(4) tool...9.1 the sugar-toolkit part of the draft 9.1 patch
(5) 0...fixes some minor pylint cleanup to sugar, to be applied after
patch 1 above.
So, the important parts here are (1) and (3). Patch (1) makes sugar registry
service not add bundles unless they're in ~/Activities. (The registry can
add such bundles, but the service will refuse to). Patch (3) makes
activitybundle.py refuse to install loopholed activities unless called with
securitycheck=False.

Re: [sugar] Question about write from Niue -OLPC training
Hi Gary, The versions I am using are: - Sugar v.1.703 - WikiBrowse v.9, and - Write v.55.

One basic activity we set up on the teacher training was to get pictures from Google images, save them to the journal and upload them into Write by using the Image tab, insert facility but it didnt work. We tried various ways: - copy the image and paste it in the 'write' document - upload to clipboard image and insert it into write - saving the image from goolge with a .jpg extension - although it will save it as a picture in the journal it will still not insert it in write -well, it will insert it but it can not be viewed. - combination of the above. Could you please send us details of how to deal with this basic activity of having people inserting images into 'write' which are not coming from pictures being taken from the OLPC. It will be great if you can get us an answer by tomorrow which is our last day of training.

Re: [sugar] Question about write from Niue -OLPC training
HI Grisel, Think that write might not allow the image to be imported if it is too big. Can you tell me how large the images are? What are their dimensions in pixels? Thanks!

Thanks Grisel Hi Grisel, There is a good chance this is fixed in the current joyride 8.20 builds. Clearly we need to get these out to you. A work around until then would be to reduce the size of the images or to only select images that are 640x480 or smaller. I'm almost certain these will work as this is the size of images made with the camera.

[sugar] suspend on 'idle'
First of all. I want to mention that when I first install a Joyride build, the initial state of the 'inhibit' flags (i.e., filenames) in /etc and /etc/ohm is not present -- that allows the XO to 'suspend'. Yet on the 'Power' sub-panel within the olpc 'Control Panel', the 'Automatic power management' box is __NOT__ checked. I thought that box would control 'suspend' -- and leaving it unchecked would mean I don't want my XO to suspend. Seems like an incompatibility somewhere. More to the point, I perform a number of actions as part of installing a new build. Lately, if I forget to first set 'inhibit-idle-suspend', the XO is __suspending__ on me while performing downloads (via yum) of modules to augment what the build contained. [I use ethernet, and 'suspend' currently kills it - so I have to reboot to again have an ethernet connection.] I *really* would like 'idle' to mean processor is idle -- not just keyboard is idle (of course my keyboard is idle -- I'm waiting for the still-ongoing downloads to finish before I type the next command). mikus ___ Sugar mailing list Sugar@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/sugar
