GUI Activity install

Without a working browser, we can use the host browser, midori, and pcmanfm unzip tool.

Select a new Activity from ASLO, http://activities.sugarlabs.org//en-US/sugar/ . (Packages selected to run in Sugar 0.94.1 can be identified in ASLO, using "Advanced Search"). Using Midori, download chosen Activities to, say, ~/downloads. Open ~/downloads with pcmanfm, select the NewActivity.xo, right click, chose extract to, enter ~/Activities, press Save. The Activity will unzip ready to use. You can check in ~/Activities that you have NewActivity.activity

ImportError: No module named vte
ImportError: No module named gst

sudo apt-get install python-vte python-gst0.10 python-pygame

Still to Fix

Issues being fixed, update shortly. Inkyfingers 21:50, 11 July 2012 (EDT)

Is there a sys.path issue? No

Is there an issue in this area - ie change of architecture? http://docs.python.org/library/fpectl.html#limitations-and-other-considerations? No

As a known issue (for Debian), suggested dependencies, i.e., -S sweets command argument, don't work for now.

Why does -S option not work in Debian?
