mLine 23:
Line 23: − + − 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

The program that you run using Sugar are called Activities. Why? Because Sugar, in its departure from the desktop metaphor for computing, is the first serious attempt to create a [[Documentation Team/Glossary|user interface]] that is based on both cognitive and social [[wikipedia:Constructivism_%28learning_theory%29| constructivism]]: an environment where learners engage in authentic exploration and collaboration in the act of learning.
