[Debian-olpc-devel] Bug#485233: sugar-emulator does not show any activity

[Niklaus Giger]

Package: sugar
Version: 0.81.2-1
Severity: normal

Hi

I am a member of OLPC-CH (Switzerland). I used to run emulated XO images
from laptop.org.

As a longtime user and supporter of Debian I tried about a week ago to
use
the Debian sugar package. As of today update to unstable I found to my
surprise that "#484086: sugar-emulator doesnt work at all" has been
resolved.

I removed my $HOME/.sugar directory and got prompted to enter my
username and to select a colour (as expected). But after sugar has come
up neither in the Ring nor the List view I see any activity.

This is for me the same situation when booting from a fresh
devel_ext3.img. Usually I just have a root shell opened by typing return
in my qemu session. Then after typing
# wget http://dev.laptop.org/~erikos/sucrose-activities.py
# python sucrose-activities.py
my activites pop up.

Looking (as the readme suggests) at
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sugar_with_sugar-jhbuild
didn't help neither.

It would help also if you document in a README.Debian how one can ssh
into a sugar-emulator.

Best regards and many thanks for your work for Debian.
