Activity installation

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". In the 'Software update' module of the sugar control panel, click the 'Edit Activity Groups' expander. Type in:

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/G1G1

and then click 'add'. Click 'Refresh' to load and list the activities in the activity group you added, and then 'Install selected' to install them.

The activity groups page on our wiki contains more information about available activity groups.

With older releases (8.1.x, Update.1, or Ship.1):

  1. Go to the neighborhood view to connect to an access point so you have network connectivity.
  2. Follow the directions in Bert's script to download and run a script to get activities.


The above procedures install and/or update a set of activities. You can also install individual activities from Browse by clicking on a link to its .xo bundle.

USB flash drive or SD card

You can install an activity from the Journal by dragging the .xo bundle from the USB device.

You can also download an Activity pack, put it onto the USB device, then plug the USB device into the XO to install the pack. --201.221.39.182 19:16, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
