Re: [Sugar-devel] Is gabble not working correctly?

2013-01-08 Thread rihowa...@gmail.com
Jerry,

I had been meaning to send an email regarding this and file a bug report. 
With 13.1.0 build 22, and possibly earlier builds, I cannot make a connection 
to an XS.
(I use Anna's XS for testing). I see this with both an XO-1 and and an XO 1.75 
running 13.1.0

If I have both XOs running 13.1.0 booted they connect directly to each other.
Running olpc-netstatus indicates they are not connecting to the school server

I can connect to the XS using 12.1.0 with both an XO-1 and an XO 1.75.

March 22nd is a Thursday.  Is the March 22nd date for Sugar Test Day set in 
stone?  Picking a Thursday is a bit unfortunate because a lot of volunteers 
with experience of Sugar will either be at their jobs or school.  Now if it was 
on a weekend

Re: [Sugar-devel] Potential volunteer offering technical writing

2011-10-06 Thread rihowa...@gmail.com
I think what was used to generate the help was the FLOSS Manuals Remix feature, 
http://en.flossmanuals.net/index.php?plugin=remix .
The workflow would be to identify the source of the existing help text starting 
with the Sugar and XO books. 
Edit the source material then use the remix feature.
I would suggest saving the original books to preserve those editions for people 
still using older versions of the software.

Re: [Sugar-devel] testing OS860 - Activity browse

2011-01-15 Thread rihowa...@gmail.com
I have been testing the Browse included in build 860 and popups do not work. 
This can cause problems with log in to secure sites. 
I also cannot edit settings in about:config.

Re: [Sugar-devel] Browse scaling for XO display

2010-11-04 Thread rihowa...@gmail.com
Walter,

If I remember correctly there was a build of Browse that had layout.css.dpi set 
to default and that did not scale well on the XO.

The versions of Browse that I have used  on the XO that scale pages well have 
layout.css.dpi=134
