: This is an example of a dd writable SoaS-v2.img file which produces a fully functional Conventional install on a USB. This is equivalent to a liveinst install to USB.
 
::It was first suggested by bernie in early 2010 as a better alternative to the currently used live USB SoaS filesystems with their fragile and limited sized overlay,
 
*This functionality is expected to be included in fedora 17 liveinst (Anaconda)
 
*This can also be realized by entering "liveinst" in root sugar terminal
 
:(Anaconda installer which installs to the USB with a normal install)
 
:Use "custom" format option with /boot ext4  and / ext4 and no swap for a USB.
 
::This requires approximately 2 times as large a USB (4GB minimum) as it is not a compressed file system and an overlay

*Technical Discussion of Live USB's:  http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB#Data_Persistence
 
::Limited Lifetime of Persistent Overlay
 
One very important note about using the "primary" persistent overlay for system changes is that due to the way it's currently implemented (as a LVM copy-on-write snapshot),
 
  every single change to it (writes AND deletes) subtracts from its free space, so it will eventually be "used up" and your USB stick will no longer boot.
 
Because of these limitations, it is advisable to use the system-level persistence sparingly, for configuration changes and important security updates only.
 
For a truly persistent write-many (vs write-once) overlay, use the --home-size-mb option to create a home directory filesystem image for personal files.
 
Unlike the primary system overlay image, the home.img can be re-used and loop mounted outside of the liveusb environment.

    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.

{{Note/note|
 
* '''When making a new VM''', to clear the Sugar Journal of old entries and to avoid identity conflicts among copies of the VM, enter the command {{Code|rm&nbsp;~&nbsp;rf&nbsp;/.sugar}} in the Terminal activity. Then shutdown the VM. This will clear all Learner information on the VM and let you start with a fresh install. Skipping this will result in collisions in the Neighborhood view of the Jabber network between separate copies of the appliance. Verify the presence of the '''.sugar''' directory by entering {{Code|ls&nbsp;-a}} in Terminal.
 
* '''When cloning a customized VM''', in order to keep the Journal and installed .xo Activities, use {{Code|rm&nbsp;~/.sugar/default/owner.key*}} in the Sugar Terminal, and then shutdown the VM. This leaves the Journal entries and removes only the previous Learner's identity key files.}}

*Suggestion-1:
 
:Download the 2 files for VirtualBox import to a 2nd USB stick
 
:On insertion; the contents of the USB stick pop up
 
  An example:
 
  f16-live-RC4-Desktop-sugaruser-disk1.vmdk

  (Only the .ovf file icon is highlighted in the USB stick contents)
 
*Suggestion-2:
 
:Export the VirtualBox .vdi hard drive to a 2nd USB and create a new machine that uses the .vdi to run
 
:/home/(user)/VirtualBox VMs/ (copy all three files to USB-stick)
 
:Create a new appliance

====[[Sugar_on_a_Stick/Sugar_Clone#Possible_Use_Cases|Possible Use Cases]]====
(from Wiki Page)
+
: See this page section for potential uses.
:'''Curriculum packaging'''
 
  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.
 
  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
 
    (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
 
    (a class portal perhaps for deployments lacking Internet connectivity).
 
  3. The teacher scrubs out any personal passwords or other history that should not be shared in the new copies.
 
  4. A fresh or recycled USB stick is inserted into the computer running the customized SoaS image and the SugarClone script is executed.  
 
  
:'''Full image backup or sharing'''
+
==[[File:VirtualBox.png|50px]] [[Sugar_Creation_Kit/sck/Sugar-in-Virtualization|'''Sugar-in-Virtualization''']]==
  1. A Learner has modified their environment, perhaps adding Activity bundles and prepared specific instances such as a Activities/Physics simulation.
+
*How to use a CD/DVD or .iso file to install Sugar in VirtualBox; VMware Workstation/Player/QEMU.
  2. Their modifications include changes to their operating system installed through yum or RPM to obtain some new core functionality.
+
*List of VirtualBox preconfigured importable appliances, and how to use them.
  3. The Learner wants to archive or share this image with friends or for a backup.
+
:These appliances are OS Agnostic:
  4. Personal or private information is scrubbed from the Journal or Browse history and other potential stores.
+
:They work in Windows/Linux/Mac Operating Systems.
  5. The User creates one or more Sugar Clones.  
 
  
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.

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.

transcoding script yt-to-ogg.py

  • Hi Lionel,

"I'm working on the same thing right now, for an Unleash Kids project in Haiti Have you converted to OGG format and embedded them for use with OLPC XOs? I've got a transcoding script running at home but it will take a few days."

   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.

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.

09/21/2013 flash on a XO
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.)
