  • renamed index.html
  • opened terminal
su

Change-Browse.activity index.html-to-use-Modified-Browse-html in a live USB

  • In booted USB-soas-i386-20100611.15.iso:
  • In Sugar Terminal;
su
yum install wget
wget http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/Modified-Browse.html
cd /home/liveuser
chmod 777 Modified-Browse.html
cp /home/liveuser/Modified-Browse.html /usr/share/sugar/activities/Browse.activity/data/index.html                                                                                                 
[root@localhost ~]# cp /home/liveuser/Modified-Browse.html /usr/share/sugar/activities/Browse.activity/data/index.html
cp: overwrite `/usr/share/sugar/activities/Browse.activity/data/index.html'? y
[root@localhost ~]#

It worked after this. Browse has a new "Start-New" screen. SUCCESS (06/12/2010)

  • Note: One step farther:
su
mkdir /usr/share/library-common
cp /usr/share/sugar/activities/Browse.activity/data/index.html usr/share/library-common/index.html
  • Sets up Firefox v 6 .xo (experimental on ASLO) to use the same index.html as Browse uses.
  • On live USB Stick (06/13/2010)

A simple test example (see screen-shot above) works well

  • It Contains the normal Browse links:
  • Home
  • Wiki
  • Bugs
  • Activites
  • plus
  • MENU- which points to an On line Version of the SugarCreationKit DVD, (with all of the links to the sources.)

  • The fedora Personal Toolbar Folder with all of it's links

UI Design

Does the feature have a direct impact on the work flow, or does it need a UI? Link here mockups, or add detailed descriptions.

Original Idea: Now depreciated:

  • Point Sugar.Browse default "start new" screen to:
file:///usr/share/bookmarks/default-bookmarks.html
  • "We'll use something slightly different so we don't conflict." pbrobinson


  • instead of sugars's default:
file:///usr/share/sugar/activities/Browse.activity/data/index.html
