    Hi all,
 +
    The question about how to get videos from Khan Academy in any language was asked several times on this list.
 +
    We planned this year to deploy offline Khan Academy videos in French to our Nosy Komba deployment. So I've worked with Bibliotheque Sans Frontiere to get French videos.
 +
    They suggested me to use KA Lite [1], a software dedicated to install a offline Khan Academy server.
 +
    BTW it's slightly intrusive and need some installation. So I've write a script to explore and extract only videos URL. You could find it here [2].
 +
    The result of the script could be seen here [3] as a tree or here [4] as a single list.
 +
    Hope it could help.
 +
    Best regards from France. Lionel.

=====Possible Use Cases=====
+
====[[Tutorials/Installation/Install & use liveusb-creator|Installing and using liveusb-creator in sugar]]====
(from Wiki Page)
+
:: An easy method for Fedora and Windows, however this method does not generate a separate home.img filesystem to conserve the exhaustible OS overlay (see [[LiveOS image]]), nor does it copy the livecd-iso-to-disk installation script to the new device to permit generation of a new Live USB device from the first.
:'''Curriculum packaging'''
+
: '''Note if graphical liveusb-creator program will not make a bootable USB stick from an .iso file:'''
  1. A teacher wants to prepare a SoaS image with a custom set of installed Activity bundles or a Journal of Activity instances for an upcoming class term.
+
:: (This can happen if the stick is formatted to fat16 on another PC with a different Operating System.)
  2. The teacher modifies their current working image by adding or deleting Activity bundles from their Home view and adding or removing Journal entries with specific content
+
: Use terminal command :
    (such as a Physics model template or Etoys project), even saving distributable ebooks, or bookmarks in Browse Activity instances that are named for specific sets of local web destinations
+
'''liveusb-creator --reset-mbr'''
    (a class portal perhaps for deployments lacking Internet connectivity).
+
: '''USB stick must be formatted: fat16/32; Labeled=LIVE; boot flag set.'''
  3. The teacher scrubs out any personal passwords or other history that should not be shared in the new copies.
+
:: (The LIVE label is only required when the device is to be used for a subsequent uncompressed installation to a hard disk.)
  4. A fresh or recycled USB stick is inserted into the computer running the customized SoaS image and the SugarClone script is executed.

+
====Additional Info====
  1. A Learner has modified their environment, perhaps adding Activity bundles and prepared specific instances such as a Activities/Physics simulation.
+
:http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
  2. Their modifications include changes to their operating system installed through yum or RPM to obtain some new core functionality.
+
====UNetbootin====
  3. The Learner wants to archive or share this image with friends or for a backup.
+
; Does not make persistent USB sticks
  4. Personal or private information is scrubbed from the Journal or Browse history and other potential stores.
+

This method of backup has the advantage that it copies Learner changes to the core operating system as well as the Journal. A LiveOS image using a separate persistent home folder could be partially cloned with either the operating system overlay or home folder without the other should that be desired.

rEFIt is a boot menu and maintenance toolkit for EFI-based machines like the Intel Macs.
 +
You can use it to boot multiple operating systems easily, including triple-boot setups with Boot Camp.
 +
  It also provides an easy way to enter and explore the EFI pre-boot environment.

#  Create ''/ Modify'' a kickstart file that specifies the packages you want installed  on your remix, along with special settings you want to tweak.
+
=== [[Sugar on a Stick/Sugar Clone]]===
#  Run that  kickstart file through livecd-creator, which will pull in the  packages  and compose an .iso, which you can then burn to CD.
+
: '''customize or duplicate Live USB installations'''
 
+
: (script files for making a customized Live USB installation self­-replicating)
...that's it! We will walk you through these steps  below.
 
 
 
==== Install the necessary software ====
 
 
 
To create a live image, the '''livecd-creator''' tool is used. Super user privileges are needed. The tool is more or less self-documenting, use the ''--help'' option to see options.
 
 
 
The '''livecd-creator''' tool is part of the <code>livecd-tools</code> package.  If it is not installed on your system, add it with:
 
 
 
su -c 'yum install livecd-tools spin-kickstarts'
 
 
 
If you are interested in localized live cd files, install also '''l10n-kickstarts'''.
 
 
 
su -c 'yum install l10n-kickstarts'
 
 
 
'''Note the spin-kickstart files that download are specific for the version of fedora you are using'''
 
:The version of sugar will also be different for each version of fedora:
 
::f12 0.86.-
 
::f13 0.88.-
 
::f14 0.90.-
 
 
 
==== Set up your environment ====
 
 
 
Now we'll set up the place you'll be building your remix's image file in. We assume you're running a recent version of Fedora.
 
:We will use the /home/(user*)/Desktop to do our builds
 
:Note: If you use the Kickstart files in the default installed location in /usr/share/spin-kickstarts you will have permission problems editing the files.
 
*'''Set SELinux in permissive mode:'''
 
::It will fail if this is not done
 
su -c ‘setenforce 0’
 
*Copy the kickstart files you've Downloaded to your Desktop:
 
:(user*)= your user name
 
 
 
mkdir /home/(user*)/Desktop/spin-kickstarts
 
cp /usr/share/spin-kickstarts/*.ks /home/(user*)/Desktop/spin-kickstarts/
 
cd /home/(user*)/Desktop/spin-kickstarts/
 
 
 
* Edit one of the .ks files you just copied to your Desktop/spin-kickstarts directory
 
gedit
 
 
 
==== Create''/Modify'' the kickstart file ====
 
 
 
# Open the kickstart file you chose from the spin-kickstart folder you copied to your Desktop in the editor of your choice.:
 
# Create the package manifest section  and add your favorite packages:
 
 
 
<code>
 
# %include spin-kickstarts/(your).ks  (See :[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days/Live_Image#Creating_a_Test_Day_Live_Image])
 
 
#redefine repo to some local mirror  (See below and :[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Test_Days/Live_Image#Creating_a_Test_Day_Live_Image])
 
 
%packages
 
#provide list of packages (normal, wildcarded, @comps) to be added or removed - dependencies are handled

=====More Information and Examples of Usage=====
 
*In the worst case you can base the whole livecd on Fedora 12 packages with this definition:
 
# not really rawhide, overriden with F12 'released' repo
 
repo --name=rawhide --mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-12&arch=$basearch
 
repo --name=updates --mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-released-f12&arch=$basearch
 
 
 
 
 
* %packages
 
:Add and or remove programs
 
::Any Program with a minus sign (-) will be removed; any program without a minus will be added
 
 
 
* %post
 
:Manipulate files that have been installed
 
::%post command are done in ''cheroot'' (the commands are only run against the new file system created for the live CD)
 
:'''EXAMPLE'''
 
*edit the boot parameters
 
:'''delete "quiet" and "rhgb" '''
 
%post --nochroot
 
sed -i -e '/ *append / { s/quiet// ; s/rhgb//;  }'  "${LIVE_ROOT}"/isolinux/isolinux.cfg

* disable screensaver locking
 
%post
 
# disable screensaver locking

:'''EXAMPLE'''
 
*Isolinux and most other bootloaders let you edit the boot parameters;
 
just delete "quiet" and "rhgb" there at boot time. None of the above
 
is livecd specific.
 
 
 
If you want to make this the default on images you build
 
then just add the following line in the %post --nochroot section:
 
sed -i -e '/ *append / { s/quiet// ; s/rhgb//;  }'  "${LIVE_ROOT}"/isolinux/isolinux.cfg

HTML5 activities

NEW 04/30/2013
Because HTML5 activities generate lot of threads I must confess that I’m lost :-(
And if I’m lost, I think that it worse for students interested by this subject for the GSoC :-)
So I’ve tried to sum up everything I know about this subject on a dedicated page of the Wiki: :http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/HTML5_activities
Do not hesitate to Complete/update if I missed something, Move it if I’ve put it in a wrong place.

   Hi all,
   The question about how to get videos from Khan Academy in any language was asked several times on this list.
   We planned this year to deploy offline Khan Academy videos in French to our Nosy Komba deployment. So I've worked with Bibliotheque Sans Frontiere to get French videos.
   They suggested me to use KA Lite [1], a software dedicated to install a offline Khan Academy server.
   BTW it's slightly intrusive and need some installation. So I've write a script to explore and extract only videos URL. You could find it here [2].
   The result of the script could be seen here [3] as a tree or here [4] as a single list.
   Hope it could help.

Screencasting

Details of screencasting in fedora

Gnome3 has already a screen recording functionality

Note: in Gnome3 you may need to do:

yum install recordmydesktop

As it may not be included in live Desktop to reduce it's size to 1 GB

F21 (rawhide) Desktop has been replaced with F21 (rawhide) Workstation-live
Note updated - 05/20/2014
Pressing Alt+Ctrl+Shift+R recording will start.
There should be a red icon on the right-bottom corner of your screen.
Pressing it again will stop the recording. The video is saved on your Videos directory on webm format.
Tested in f18;f19;f20;f21(rawhide) Gnome (3.8.0);f20 Gnome (3.10.2);f21(rawhide)3.11.90

If you are using Flash you need to also install nspluginwrapper, and use it to "wrap" the plugin so WebKit can see it.
Use "yum -y install nspluginwrapper" to install the package.
The OLPC OS build scripts for custom builds use the following command (run as root or via sudo) to finish the wrapping process.  I have not verified it yet on a XO-1.5:
/usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/npconfig -n -p nswrapper_32_32 -d /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins-wrapped -i /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

                       (WARNING: destructive)

Installing and using liveusb-creator in sugar

An easy method for Fedora and Windows, however this method does not generate a separate home.img filesystem to conserve the exhaustible OS overlay (see LiveOS image), nor does it copy the livecd-iso-to-disk installation script to the new device to permit generation of a new Live USB device from the first.
Note if graphical liveusb-creator program will not make a bootable USB stick from an .iso file:
(This can happen if the stick is formatted to fat16 on another PC with a different Operating System.)
Use terminal command :
liveusb-creator --reset-mbr
USB stick must be formatted: fat16/32; Labeled=LIVE; boot flag set.
(The LIVE label is only required when the device is to be used for a subsequent uncompressed installation to a hard disk.)
