Local .xo activity can't be added

[k4th4]

When I click on the local .xo file in the browser activity (downloaded with Lubuntu), it says download, the downward arrow slowly fills. But then nothing changed. The full activity list is still the same. Is there a video tutorial somewhere. Maybe I make a stupid mistake.

This is how it looks

Thanks, interesting. Use the Log activity to look at the Browse or Sugar log to find what went wrong. https://help.sugarlabs.org/en/log.html has some instruction.

What version of Sugar, on top of what operating system? A reason I ask is that Sugar is being distributed by operating systems without support for Python 2 activities, in turn because the Python Foundation has withdrawn support for Python 2 in favour of Pyhon 3. gcompris-18.xo is from our Python 2 activity library, and was released in 2012. On the other hand, it does not use Python 2, but does embed a 32-bit compiled program from about the same vintage, which will fail on a 64-bit operating system.

You might try GCompris-21 from http://people.sugarlabs.org/~quozl/GCompris-21.xo released in 2019. (Source code and instructions at https://github.com/sugarlabs/gcompris-wrapper-activity). If you are using Lubuntu 22.04 you might start a Terminal, type sudo apt install gcompris-qt, then start it by typing gcompris-qt, or run the GCompris-21 activity.

this worked, but I can only start it in the terminal. it doesn't show up in the app list.

That's odd. The GCompris-21.xo bundle should have added the activity to Sugar. I'll wait for your answer to my other questions.
