[sugar] patch for a first boot launch of a Help activity

Hello, after talking with Seth this evening, I whipped together a small patch (against the current git heads of sugar and sugar-toolkit) to launch an activity with the service name of org.laptop.Help on the first boot of the XO. It checks the user profile for a field called 'ShowHelp' in a catego

Re: [sugar] specifying what services Activities may use

Seems like this problem for linux was solved with RPM. With rpm if something is missing for something you want to install, it complains and won't let you install it. It seems like a lot of the python code I have looked at assumes you have stuff and just quietly dies and you have to look at the log

[sugar] specifying what services Activities may use

There was an earlier discussion of how to provide the right build level for users out in the field, since now Builds can be installed separately from Activities -- leading to the possibility that for someone an Activity_version on his XO will find itself *mismatched* with the Build_version on h

(Also posted to the fedora-olpc list) I have put together a sugar desktop appliance [1], but I am not very familiar with the sugar desktop in order to adequately test it. I am looking for anyone who is willing to take a few minutes and give it a spin. The directions for xen/kvm are: 1) Downloa

[sugar] How software updater will be translated?

Hello. I notice sugar.pot doesn't include strings for software updater in control panel. It seems that source code for the updater isn't included in sugar-0.81.7 tarball and POT generation didn't see the module. Where is the source code and PO on Pootle to translate? Cheers, /Korakurider

Re: [sugar] Activity name box is too small for localized name

This can be fixed globally, and really, it seems there's no reason for it to be so small. There's room. Could you file a new ticket in trac ( http://dev.laptop.org/) and assign it to the "Sugar" component? Thanks! - Eben On Mon, Jul 28, 2008 at 10:55 AM, Korakurider <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

[sugar] Activity name box is too small for localized name

Hello. It seems that size of name box in top of "activity" tab in each activity is designed so that English name fit there, and is sometimes small for localized name. See attached screenshot (Write activity) for instance. Is there any way to adjust size of the box of activities globally so that th

Hi Jerry - Thanks for your feedback! Improving the color selection interaction is definitely on our list; unfortunately it continually falls below many other pressing bugs. At a minimum, we want to add left and right arrows on either side of the XO, to allow forward and backward cycling through t

* I dropped the hard code freeze for this release. With the current speed of development of the OLPC release it would just be impractical. I added a couple of days of delay between tarballs due and 0.82 instead, the release team will ensure some testing is made and blocker fixes are landed during t
