===WPA/WEP Connectivity Problems===

Hi I still have problems connecting to WPA, even with build 703 installed. I enter a password and nothing happens. Any advice?
:Hmmm. This one falls between the crack of Sugar and the OLPC network stack. Have you asked for help from the OLPC support team? --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 19:57, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

No, I haven't. Maybe we should explain what questions should go to OLPC team and what goes here.
:Good point. --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 20:15, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

===UI Element sizes===
This is more of an issue than a bug. But I don't know where else to put it for now.

As Sugar is ported to other systems, they will have screens with dimensions significantly different than the XO laptop. On the XO the assumption is made of 1200 x 900 pix, with Sugar occupying a grid of 12 x 16 elements 75 pixels square.

How will we deal with issues like screens in other aspect ratios, or where the 75-pixel element is not a practical size?

:Much of this is ameliorated by the extensive use of SVG for the graphics. --[[User:Walter|Walter]] 21:10, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

===Sonata===

I cannot access MP3 files I transfer to my SD card through Sonata. It does not let me select source directories/devices. Any advice? Is there a better player for Sugar/XO?

Graham:

'''Note:''' This article is about running Linux applications inside Sugar, not launching them in Terminal.

Someone named CatMoran created a script that automates most of the steps of Sugar Coating Linux applications to run under Sugar.

*They confirm it works for firefox, but can't vouch for any other program.
*It does not work for mc. It also doesn't work for roto's current mplayer configuration, because only programs that use the same command every time (ie, no input file name, in this case) can be set up to run this way.

===To setup (one time):===

Start a Terminal activity. Enter the following commands. (They log you in as root, gets a copy of Albert Cahalan's compiled libsugarize file, and gets the script I created.)

su
wget http://www.catmoran.com/olpc/libsugarize.so
chmod 755 libsugarize.so
wget http://www.catmoran.com/olpc/sug
chmod 755 sug

Optional, if you want to use the icons I've already 'created':
wget http://www.catmoran.com/olpc/plain.svg
wget http://www.catmoran.com/olpc/ff.svg
wget http://www.catmoran.com/olpc/l.svg

===To Run:===

Locate an icon you want to use/reuse.

You can copy any .svg file located in /usr/share/activities/*.activity/activity/*.svg

Or you can use one of the icons I've created. (wget commands above.) plain.svg is a plain circle, ff.svg is a circle with FF (for firefox) inside, l.svg is a circle with L inside. ff.svg and l.svg can easily be edited for any two or one character(s). Open the file in any text editor. Each letter is in plain text just before the </tspan> tags, replace them and save the file.

Enter the following commands, to log in as root and execute the sug script.

su
./sug

You'll be prompted for an activity name. Enter a short, descriptive name with no spaces or punctuation, such as BibleTime or Firefox.

You'll be prompted for an icon file to copy into the new task. You can enter the full path and filename of any .svg file. If the icon is in the same directory as the sug file, you can enter just the filename.

You'll be prompted for the command to start the program. This is the command you entered from Terminal to start the program, such as firefox.

You'll be prompted for an organization path, such as org.mozilla If you don't know what this is, just enter org.x

(If at any of the prompts you want to quit the script, just enter nothing at the prompt.)

The script will give you a success message. Reboot sugar to see the new task in the sugar taskbar.

Sugar applications are called [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities Activities]. This is a list of some Activities that are installed by default. There is a proposal for an [[Activity portal]].

=Running Linux Applications Under Sugar=

There are two ways to run Linux applications as Activities under Sugar (meaning you don't need to use Terminal to load them):
* Sugar Coating - Making Linux apps run under Sugar, but not modifying them to take advantage of Sugar's collaborative capabilities
* Sugarizing - A fully integrated Linux application, re-engineered to take advantage of Sugar's advanced collaboration abilities

===Sugar Coating Activities===

To run Linux apps under Sugar (i.e. making them to run in the Sugar interface, without the collaboration and other Sugar integration programmed into them), read these instructions on [[Running Linux Applications Under Sugar]].

===Sugarizing Activities===

To be written.
