[Etoys] Folder names
by Bert Freudenberg 24 Oct '06

24 Oct '06

Right now, the default project folder is named "public", contrasting with the "private" folder containing the generated security keys. "public" is the same folder that is named "My Squeak" on Windows or Mac. This name shows up in the project chooser. There is a folder named "public", and inside it a folder named "Squeaklets". Both names are not really self-describing, so we might think about renaming them. Perhaps even better would be to use a translation entry. - Bert -

"B-test") manufactured next month. Thanks to all who made this possible, and please keep contributing! There still is a lot of work to do over the next months. - Bert -

Re: [Etoys] Camera (was Re: [Trac #175] Squeak/Etoys needs packaging)

Diego, if you could work on this, it would be great! I have a lot more urgent things on my plate, unfortunately :/ I think you do not even need the Sugar emulator for testing this. We use a regular i386 Linux Squeak VM (built straight from SVN, now at version 3.9-9), and a costumized image (squeakland-based). The Sugar integration works a lot like the browser plugin. So if you get it working with our image on a regular Linux PC that would be great. The latest Developer images+changes are at http://tinlizzie.org/olpc/OLPC-Squeak-latest.zip But also load updates :) To really include it, I would need the plugin sources so Ian can put it into SVN, plus a changeset (or more) to put into the OLPC update stream. I have some USB webcams, hopefully one of them will work with V4L so I could test it. Also, since I did not use V4L before, what else do I have to install? - Bert - Am 22.10.2006 um 11:28 schrieb Diego Gomez Deck: > Bert, > > Let me know if you need the sources, not sure if the published sources > are the newest. > > BTW, Does the OLPC simulator support webcams?

[Etoys] Key generation
by Bert Freudenberg 21 Oct '06

21 Oct '06

When starting etoys for the very first time, a crypto key is generated. This takes about a minute on the laptop. It's particularily frustrating because the counter does not stop at 100% but goes well beyond, everyone would think it does not finish at all. Could we postpone key generation to the time it is actually needed, rather than first start? I guess the reason to do it this way is because of the sandbox? Can we do something to avoid that delay? Do we need the key at all? - Bert -
