Re: [ubuntu-in] Sugar UI on Ubuntu
Hi all, Ram this is what the wiki says http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Wireless [quote] Mesh Wireless The Mesh wireless protocol is very nearly an implementation of the IEEE 802.11s draft [/quote] Uses a marvell chipset. Now apparently the firmware needed to run that chip is closed-source :( RMS had written that's the reason he's not using the firmware, although he now uses OLPC to do his stuff. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal This email is licensed under http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17 -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
Re: [ubuntu-in] Sugar UI on Ubuntu
Hi all, Probably last in the thread. There was a promising project called Openec http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OpenEC but because of no embedded developer interest the project seems to have died/frozen. http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/openec/2007-November/000107.html [quote] Hi, put more beef (boot message, monitor with 2 usage examples) into the article: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OpenEC Still no embedded developer who wants to jump on the train? Greetings, Frieder [/quote] http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/devel/2008-May/014533.html The end of the message through is good. So they also seem to be betting on the 802.11s to do them good. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal This email is licensed under http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17 -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
[ubuntu-in] Sugar UI on Ubuntu
Hi was wondering if anyone had tried the Sugar UI on their Ubuntu machine http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sugar_on_Ubuntu_Linux have seen Sugar in work on an XO laptop and it is quite cute and effective , wonder how it will be to have it on a regular machine, hoping to try it out soon. ram -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

I have tried it on my small ibook and looks good. I didn't spend too much time with it and don't exactly remember which activities work and which don't.

Hi, have seen Sugar in work on an XO laptop and it is quite cute and effective , wonder how it will be to have it on a regular machine, hoping to try it out soon. Has anyone tried the mesh network feature of Sugar on non-XO machines? Will it work? Moz -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

Would be interested in knowing. Has anyone tried the mesh network feature of Sugar on non-XO machines? Will it work? From what I know that's a network chip with some proprietary firmware written on it and the reports tell me it kinda works. There's lot happening on the mesh network space with something like 70 odd technologies (atleast the wikipedia says so ) so it would be interesting to see where this goes, there is the 802.11s which I'm interested to know as and when it gets ratified.
