Talk:Sugar with sugar-jhbuild

Sound?
I've installed sugar-jhbuild on my Ubuntu machine, and it looks like an application that should play sound (memosono) doesn't, at least out-of-the-box. Audio also doesn't seem to work when running OLPC images in an emulator. Is extra software required? Or does audio development require developing on the actual hardware? —Leejc 23:27, 15 February 2007 (EST)
Problem reports
- cairographics.org pings, but port 80 isn't connecting. sugar-jhbuild gets stuck in a connection timeout/retry loop. Any workarounds? MitchellNCharity 10:02, 6 May 2007 (EDT)
- cairographics.org and freedesktop.org still down. sugar-jhbuild now friendlier about it, but one still can't use it to
build sugar.download sugar for the first time. MitchellNCharity 06:29, 10 May 2007 (EDT)- Workaround: download software another way, eg, from cvs (yes, you may get unstable software which will cause later problems), tar it up, and swap if for sugar-jhbuild's broken tar file in source/ when sugar-jhbuild asks you what to do. Eg, for poppler which has been failing this week,
- cairographics.org and freedesktop.org still down. sugar-jhbuild now friendlier about it, but one still can't use it to
ls source/|grep poppler # Which currently yields poppler-0.5.4.tar.gz . cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.freedesktop.org:/cvs/poppler login cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.freedesktop.org:/cvs/poppler co poppler tar cf poppler fake-poppler-0.5.4.tar gzip fake-poppler-0.5.4.tar # Now run ./sugar-jhbuild update , and when poppler fails and sugar-jhbuild asks what to do: cp fake-poppler-0.5.4.tar.gz source/poppler-0.5.4.tar.gz # and select, err, the ignore-error-and-unpack-anyway option.
