I don't know.  It might be an fdisk issue; Linux fdisk has *always*
behaved in this way, but I haven't looked at that code at all.

I don't know where fdisk, the Linux kernel, or whatever come up with
these kinds of geometries.  They're almost universally non-bootable.

I don't understand why 128 heads.  64 heads is the more compatible version.

I presume the notion of partition 1 and 4 is to deal with things that
have an odd notion of zipdisks.  I have personally not seen any devices
which will only boot with partition 1 or only with partition 4, if you
have any such information I would appreciate it.

Part of me also wonders if using EXTLINUX might not be easier for you, too.

I need much more details; *all* Award BIOSes make in the past 10-12
years have version number 6.00PG.

Also look for how you have configured your BIOS... some Award BIOSes
have USB-ZIP, USB-HDD, USB-FDD configurations; you generally want USB-HDD.

There are some BIOSes which will boot from USB *only* if it was
formatted with 64 heads, 32 sectors; apparently due to some odd notion
that only zipdrives would be USB.

You're all welcome. ;)

I am not intimate with the development cycle and work-flow of the OLPC XO.  
I learned sufficiently to see it's Fedora Core-based, and that Sugar is  
becoming distro agnostic.

Thus, my answer is simply limited to my current usage of the XO. I want  
PaintWeb to work well on the OLPC XO-1 laptop, with the latest stable OS  
release (that's 8.2.1).


> - already have an idea about how are going to be deployed any

The modifications resulting from this work are already deployed into  
PaintWeb. You can try the last working SVN trunk snapshot at:

http://www.robodesign.ro/paintweb/trunk/src/paintweb.html

The paintweb.js file contains the updateCanvasScaling() function which  
does the Canvas scaling.

The application is working fine on the XO.


Best regards,
Mihai

Thank you for bringing this in, Seth.

I've been asking a while for at least a first boot - better an opt-out
always-after-boot for Help, just like win 95 on

As is now, an inconspicuous icon among many, low usability score.

BTW, I would want to see a simple way to bind an activity to boot, Help 
is not the
only candidate for that treatment, other options would range from some 
infomercial,
part of G1G1, and local choices.

Personally, I recommend that you not worry about this.  Sugar is designed
with the assumption that Activities can be arbitrary untrusted code, and
so they are run in jails that prevent them from taking actions not
explicitly permitted by the user.  This includes various kinds of D-Bus
actions.

I am not knowledgeable about the present state of D-Bus isolation in
Rainbow, but if it is insufficient it should be fixed in Rainbow, not in
the browser.

[Sugar-devel] Searchable Tagging

2009-06-03 Thread kartik rustagi
Hello,

I have started working on adding the feature of "Search able tags" to Sugar.
This will allow
the users to tag them self or any else in the network. These tag will be
generalized tags. Users
 will have the option to search for users having a particular tag. Say for
example I tag my self
 as : "I love python". Then if a user in the network searches for "python",
the result will show
me. Here are some of the use cases (contributed by tomeu):
*
Use case 1*: Finding people with similar interests:
Pepe enjoyed during the weekend his first rock climbing experience and would
like to find other
people in his school who also like it.
*
Use case 2*: Limiting the mesh view to a subset defined locally:
Maria is a teacher and would like that during her classes, only her students
in that class appear in
 the mesh view.

*Proposed user experience*

*Use case 1*: finding people with similar interests:
Pepe tags itself as climbing, and when someone searches in the mesh view for
"climbing", Pepe will
 appear in the results.
*
Use case 2*: limiting the mesh view to a subset defined locally:
Maria tags each of the students in that class with the tag "my_class", so
that when searches in the
mesh view for that text, only her students appear. In the case that someone
else has tagged himself
with that same tag, it will appear as well in the results, but will be
marked differently as the local matches.

 As it can be seen, this feature will be a precursor to add "Groups" to
Sugar.  I am right now trying to
 add these tags to /source/sugar-presence-services/src/buddy.py and try to
read these using D-Bus interface.

Feedback and suggestions are requested. If some one wants to add some new
and interesting use case, they
can do it at: http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Tagging_Proposal

ps: I have ejabberd set up in my system and wanted to know how to use gadget
on it. If any one has done some
thing similar, please let me know.

[Sugar-devel] [GSoC] progress report

2009-06-03 Thread Lucian Branescu
Since I missed the meeting, here goes.

I've had a really hectic past few days, with 2 exams, just getting my
laptop back and constantly fighting my Uni network restrictions. But
it's better now, finished with exams and I figured out how to trick
the proxies.

I played around with a template Site Specific Browser based on Browse,
almost identical up to now. I think I have SSB generation mostly
figured out, I need to start implementing it. I will probably have to
either change the existing bookmark mechanism or add a new one,
because bookmarks (specifically bookmarklets) should be part of data,
not state.

I also tried Tomeu's technique for getting Gears to work, but that
xulrunner bug prevents any permissions being granted. My initial plan
was to test Gears with GMail, but it's not quite possible right now.
I'll look into it, but I'd rather not have to build xulrunner.

Also, now I'm more inclined to do the dbus functionality through
pyxpcom, mostly because of security issues. This
http://sandbox.movial.com/wiki/index.php/Browser_DBus_Bridge#Gecko_version_notes
would provide dbus accessibility directly to javascript and I'd need
to handle security around that. Since my dbus needs are limited, I
prefer to instead do everything python-side and inject javascript
objects that do simple things (notifications, sounds, etc.). Of
course, dbus is still a secondary objective.

There's nothing wrong with using threads for drawing; there's even a
tutorial on how to do it right on the Cairo website. [1]  Section 20 of
the PyGTK FAQ is also helpful. [2]

However, you can avoid threading while maintaining a responsive user
interface, even if rendering is slow.  The trick is to break rendering up
into many small steps, and switch control back to the mainloop between
steps.  This way, if the user makes an action, there will not be a long
delay before the mainloop can process the input.

This programming style is sometimes called a "coroutine".  There's a nice
example at [3], which is also referenced in PyGTK FAQ 20.9.

P.S.  In practice, I doubt this will be a problem.  If users only get
input feedback once a new frame is rendered, then it hardly matters how
quickly their input is received.  Therefore, you can probably render whole
frames at once, single-threaded, and just not worry about it.

It's more an onerous task, than a feature request ;-) There nothing

[Sugar-devel] More information on font scaling problem

2009-06-03 Thread James Simmons
I mentioned before that I'm having a font sizing problem on the XO 
running .82.  When I set a font on a textviewer it looks OK running 
under sugar-devel or SoaS by is *much* larger on the XO.  This is the 
code I'm currently using:

self.scrolled = gtk.ScrolledWindow()
self.scrolled.set_policy(gtk.POLICY_NEVER, gtk.POLICY_AUTOMATIC)
self.scrolled.props.shadow_type = gtk.SHADOW_NONE
self.textview = gtk.TextView()
self.textview.set_editable(False)
self.textview.set_cursor_visible(False)
self.textview.set_left_margin(50)
self.textview.connect("key_press_event", self.keypress_cb)
buffer = self.textview.get_buffer()
buffer.connect("mark-set", self.mark_set_cb)
self.font_desc = pango.FontDescription("sans %d" % style.zoom(10))
self.textview.modify_font(self.font_desc)
self.scrolled.add(self.textview)
self.textview.show()
self.scrolled.show()
v_adjustment = self.scrolled.get_vadjustment()
self.clipboard = gtk.Clipboard(display=gtk.gdk.display_get_default(), 
selection="CLIPBOARD")
self.page = 0
self.textview.grab_focus()

The "sans 10" font is really too small for SoaS but on the XO it makes 
80 columns of text fill the width of the screen.  Any ideas?

 I like Gary's most recent one with the dots filling in color

 I got halfway through a mockup with XO avatars appearing, then
 Activity icons, but I feel using either will just be too confusing...
 one could think network discovery was happening, or Activity loading.

 After much reflection, I think the friendliest greeting we could offer
 to Learners is a face, a Speakish one with eyes rolling around the
 ring (and a growing smile) while the colors come on. There are still
 many people who fell in love with their little Macs because of the
 smiley face.

 But... that's outside the Sugar HIG and I would think twice before
 stepping outside of that. So I reread them and came up with this idea
 (which I hope to mock up tomorrow): instead of dots, I want to do
 oblong ovals like a big version of the Activity spinner graphic. I
 searched high and low on sl.o and laptop.org for an SVG but only found
 a lo-res PNG :-( so I'll just improvise ovals. What I like about
 presenting the spinner is: immediate identification of a waiting
 period, no confusion with other elements (the filled in dots are too
 similar to networks in the Neighborhood view). Also I like that the
 spinner has 11, not 12 dividers; that asymmetry is interesting and
 remains clocklike. I like Gary's proposal of empty ones filled with
 color which I'd like to keep. And... I'd like to start the middle XO
 icon small (e.g. neighborhood view size) and step it up in size with
 each spinner step; grow in importance as the system builds, until at
 the end normal size.

 As for the colors, I'm not sure I like the color pairs... I'd like to
 try solid colors, moving through the spectrum rainbowlike. Less
 Sugarish perhaps, but visually stronger might be.

 Not sure if the initial logo flash is enough, but concerned that
 keeping it around might fight the spinner ring.

 Will have a visual tomorrow to show (holiday so I will have some time)

 thanks

2009-06-03 Thread Caroline Meeks
Hi,

Should this bug really get closed or is there some other state it could be
in?

Sugarizing Scratch is clearly a legitimate feature request. I'm not saying
sdz should do it this week, but if someone came along and wanted to do
something this task should definitely be on the list of tasks a Sugar
volunteer could do.

Where do we keep track of requests like Sugarizing Scratch?

Comment:

 Scratch is not included in a build. This is not a Soas bug. Of course it
 would be nice to have it better integrated. Please check with the upstream
 maintainers.
