Bert's script

As of Update.1, OLPC builds separate operating system updates from activity updates, which may initially give the appearance of activities disappearing. The customization key process (See Customization key) facilitates installation of an Activity pack (a collection of activities); also Bert Freudenberg has written a script to install the default set of activities:

 http://dev.laptop.org/~bert/update-activities.py

Getting the activities back is then as simple as:

• Start the console by pressing the Ctrl+Alt+ keys.
• Enter the following commands:

su - olpc
wget dev.laptop.org/~bert/update-activities.py
python update-activities.py

• Return to Sugar by pressing the Ctrl+Alt+ keys, and the frame should show the extra activities.

For Joyride builds, try this script instead

 http://dev.laptop.org/~bert/joyride-activities.py

It is the same except it fetches activities from the joyride repository, not the update.1 repository.
