  For the general public

XO applications are called Activities. This page lists both Preinstalled activities and others you can install yourself. The names of activities link to more information about them; the download links, if downloaded to an XO, will automatically install and show up in the activity bar.

For general information about activities, see the laptop.org website.

This page lists many activities, not all yet usable. If you find bugs, please report them!!!. (Don't be discouraged if your report goes for a long time without being updated. The record of your experience is valuable.)

Please add new activities that you have worked on, and see (and contribute to) the Activity guidelines page.

Specific collections of activity and content are available; see our collections, and the WorldWideWorkshop and GCompris activity sets, and repositories of Etoys projects (including those at Potsdam University). See also the Activity packs page, for specific collections of activities, including untested or incomplete activities.

  For Developers

Add new activities by following the instructions on the Creating an activity page (Please be sure to read our human interface guidelines in addition to the activity guidelines). When adding your new activity to this page, follow the template syntax as described on the Template:Activity page.

1. start the Browse activity on your XO;

ExecCommand: com.jtolds.olpc.exec.xdialog A very simple utility. On launch, this activity either launches a predefined Unix command, or starts an graphical dialog and queries the user for what command to run. Useful for starting vncviewer or xmms. To see an example of this activity modified to just start XMMS, check out Xmms.xo. All that was modified was bin/exec-script.sh, activity/activity.info (for the name), and activity/icon.svg. Of course, this requires XMMS

Localization

Please note the l10n (aka Localization) elements of the activity (ie: the POT file/directory link — [http:link POT] or [[PO page]]. You should also link to the activity/l10n subpage with po files and status if it exists.

Other installation options

From the Internet (G1G1 owners, use this)

With the 8.2.0 release or later pre-release images called joyride:

1. Run the Sugar Control Panel by hovering over the central XO-man on the Home view screen.
2. Choose 'Software update.' If you are a G1G1 user and have performed a clean install, you will need to re-add the "G1G1 activities group".

Removal

Open the Terminal Activity, and do the following (depends on whether you installed activities yourself or not) replacing ActivityName with the name of the activity (e.g. TamTamMini) :

Note: You may want to "ls" before you "rm" so you can see what's in the directory and what options you have.

Preinstalled

If done carelessly (e.g. removing Terminal, Browse, or Journal) your machine may operate in reduced functionality until you manually reinstall the activity!

su
cd /usr/share/activities
rm -r ActivityName.activity

User-installed

cd Activities
rm -r ActivityName.activity
