== Sugar Activity starting == | |||
====How can a user start an activity from the command line?==== | |||
How can a user start an activity from the command line without starting Sugar? Please supply a sample command. | |||
Why? I'm tired of digging around for the error logs. I figured I could do something like | |||
sugar - run pippy 2>pippyerrors.txt | |||
bemasc suggests | |||
less ~/.sugar/default/logs/org.whatever | |||
:Note the above command will take some messing around with to get what you want. | |||
I have tried: | |||
user@ubuntu:~/sugar-jhbuild$ ./sugar-jhbuild launch pippy | |||
sugar-jhbuild launch: command not found | |||
user@ubuntu:~/sugar-jhbuild$ ./sugar-jhbuild sugar - launch pippy | |||
sugar-jhbuild sugar: command not found | |||
user@ubuntu:~/sugar-jhbuild$ ./sugar-jhbuild pippy | |||
sugar-jhbuild pippy: command not found | |||
user@ubuntu:~/sugar-jhbuild$ ./sugar-jhbuild run pippy | |||
sugar-jhbuild run: Unable to execute the command 'pippy': [Errno 2] No such file or directory | |||
And the response. | |||
<bemasc> dgd: impossible. | |||
<dgd> bemasc, ? | |||
<dgd> not possible to run activities from jhbuild is that what you mean bemasc | |||
<bemasc> dgd: sugar activities cannot run outside of sugar, and more than a java applet can run outside of the JVM, or a flash applet can run outside of a flash interpreter. | |||
<bemasc> s/and/any/ | |||
<dgd> ok, so running just the activity in sugar? | |||
<dgd> just one activity, none of the home stuff etc. | |||
<bemasc> also not possible | |||
<dgd> I thought for sure I read in the docs that you can run just an activity... | |||
<bemasc> by "not possible" I mean "requires you to modify the code for the Sugar shell". | |||
< bemasc> You can probably cause Sugar to launch and immediately start an activity. You might be able to do this using a .xsession script. | |||
<bemasc> However, users will still be able to bring up the frame and switch to the home view, etc. | |||
====Where are the activities stored?==== | |||
Some users will find them here: | |||
/usr/share/sugar/activities/ | |||
Jhbuild users will find the activities here: | |||
./install/share/sugar/activities/Calculate.activity/activity | |||
./source/terminal/activity | |||
