No tickets filed, ping back if you want one on any of these items:<br>
<br>
- By default the builds boot into GNOME desktop, not Sugar. As a non<br>
regular Fedora/GNOME user, it took me a day or so before I spotted the<br>
partially obscured button in the bottom right tray of the login page<br>
called session. Which reveals a menu allowing you to change the<br>
default desktop over to Sugar :-)<br>
<br>
- The default set of Activities is stored under /usr/share/sugar/<br>
activities, everything is owned as root. The Sugar shell does display/<br>
launch Activities in this folder, but will not erase or upgrade them<br>
(e.g if you download a new .xo bundle with Browse). A quick fix is to<br>
move the directory to /home/liveuser/Activities and then chown -R<br>
liveuser /home/liveuser/Activities, and rebooting.<br>
<br>
- Just a heads up for Activity developers that Python 2.6 is installed<br>
on these newer builds, and the json library at least is very different<br>
from what shipped in previous OLPC builds. Moon (and I'm sure some<br>
other Activities) expect the previous json method calls so, on<br>
closing, you get a 'keep error'. Happy to fix, but not sure what the<br>
best resolution is if I want same code to play well with both new and<br>
old distros (hints appreciated).</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Note that the new JSON library was available before as 'simplejson'. That's what I use in all my activities since it's the default going forward, and has much better features than the old 'json' or 'cjson'. </div>
