Could also be that your live usb stick has no room for the home directory?

[Sugar-devel] How to authenticate with the Schoolserver on non XO hardware was: (Re: Auto-authentication for Browse)

 Hello Everyone,
 
 My name is Hamilton Chua and I am new to these lists and even newer to sugar
 development and the olpc in general so please do forgive me if the questions
 I am about to ask have been asked and answered before.
 
 I am using a development snapshot of Sugar on a Stick (SoaS) and XS (0.5.1)
 on Virtualbox 2.1.4.
 
 So here are my questions :
 
 1) It seems registration does not work on SoaS because it lacks the info
 that you normally have on an OLPC laptop in order to successfully register
 with an XS server. I would like to ask what the significance, if any, of
 registration. In the snapshot I have, it seems that I can set the jabber
 server on the control panel and it seemed that I was all set.

Yes, the registration is currently dependent on the SN and the uuid of 
the XO.

http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/sugar/repos/mainline/blobs/master/src/jarabe/desktop/schoolserver.py

 2) For the XS Cookie (Plan C here) to work,  do I need to register sugar
 with an XS server ?

Yes, that is how it is currently implemented.

 3) Are there plans to make registration work for Sugar installed on hardware
 other than an OLPC ?

Martin, are there any plans yet on how to make the services of a school 
server available to non XO hardware?

Thanks,
Simon

Re: [Sugar-devel] [ANNOUNCE] Sucrose 0.84 Release Candidate 2 (0.83.6)

2009-02-26 Thread david
On Mon, 23 Feb 2009, Simon Schampijer wrote:

 Dear Sugar Community,

 this is Release Candidate 2 for the upcoming 0.84 Release - see the [1]
 for more details. Only one more week to go in this release cycle. Please
 test this release and report all the bugs you find that we are able to
 fix them in time. A friendly BugSquad [2] will be available to triage
 those bugs accordingly and the developers can never have enough bug
 food. If you have non-bug feedback about features you can use the
 sugar-devel mailing list to share it with us.

 From a user point of view we want to highlight the following changes
 that have been made:

 === Resume by Default ===
 Resume by default is now the way we handle activity startup. The option
 in the Favourites View palette has been removed completely. You can
 still start a new instance using the 'Start' option in the Activity palette.

 === View Source ===
 There has been some refinements to the View Source dialog. You can
 access it from the Activity palette in the Frame or by using
 'Shift+Alt+V' directly.

not by Fn+space? (as marked on the keyboard)

David Lang

 The coloured activity icon represents the source of the activity
 instance. The outlined activity icon represent the bundle source for the
 activity itself, the template. We use this to help draw a distinction
 between the activity instance and the activity bundle

 Using the uncoloured outline to represent the bundle vs the coloured
 icon to represent an instance has been the design cue all along.

 === File transfer ===
 We make use of the files new file transfer files now.

 === Read ===
 Morgan fixed an error that was introduced due to changes in Evince.

 === Browse ===
 Martin Langhoff has been adding functionality to authenticate with the
 Schoolserver. When registered with the server an HTTP Cookie is created
 to ease the use of services on the Schoolserver in future sessions.
 Thanks to Daniel Drake Browse propagates the current locale now. This
 helps to use web services and pages in your mother language. Try it out
 with the [http://addons.sugarlabs.org/ addons] page for example.

 That does not break anything. The underlying hulahop has changed and Browse
 reacted to that - that is why we can not provide the backward compability.

Simon,

I also posted the patch for the 0.82 (stable) branch , will you issue
a separate release for that branch too? (the sugar versioning scheme
doesn't help i suspect...)

If not, Jonas can definitely grab my version of the patch and apply it

[Sugar-devel] Mailing list moderators needed

2009-02-26 Thread Bernie Innocenti
Every day, around a dozen emails get held by mailman for inspection by
a human being because they were posted by non-member addresses or
because there are other reasons for considering them suspicious.

Most of these are of course spam, but a few are valid posts.  Today I
ran through a long backlog of held posts on iaep@ and sugar-develer@,
and cleared them.  It's a boring job, but it only took me 10 minutes.

We'd need someone with some free time to volunteer for this job.
For the time being, I've configured the list to automatically reject
anything that would have been held instead.  This way, at least, we
don't set the expectations of those few human posters too high.

Re: [Sugar-devel] [IAEP] Design for a.sl.o and sugarlabs

2009-02-26 Thread Wade Brainerd
Hey Josh, thanks for the offer of help!
I definitely like your simple and kid-friendly theme for addons. I wonder
off the top of my head though, if it makes sense to make addons.sl.o look
*more* like the other sl.o sites?Things are kind of confusing right now
with the different styles of wiki, trac, addons, schools, gitorious, api,
buildbot, etc.  planet is the lone exception, it seems to follow
wiki.sugarlabs.org nicely :)

It would be great if the Design Team could comment on this decision.

Here are a couple other web infrastructure ideas:

+ Improve theming consistency among various SL.o sites.
+ Single sign on cookie among all SL.o sites - perhaps OpenID based.
+ Standard nav header atop all SL.o sites rather than the various nav
headers in different places, with different links.
+ Better splash page for Gitorious, looking more like GitWeb - a page with a
small search box at the top and the rest being a list of projects, sorted by
recent activity, showing owner and last commit details

Best regards,
Wade

I'm certainly keen on supporting it. We'd need a uid scheme - what
would be the best approach for this?

First, my thoughts went to hw UIDs, like a MAC address or a hash of
the UIDs reported by lspci. But if the SoaS is indeed on a USB stick
to be used on any hw but retaining my identity, then we want to make a
purely random uid, created at first boot or with the Sugar give me
your name screen..

If the uid we use matches the format of the XO uids, then the XS will
just take it. Maybe put a prefix to it so if we need to special-case
it on the XS then we can...
