In case anyone using recent joyrides is having problems launching (most) activities, this workaround may be of use.
The symptom is that activities look like they're launching for a while, but never do. The workaround is to: 1a) run Terminal (this still works) 1b) switch to a virtual terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F1) 2) execute: sudo /etc/init.d/rainbow restart 3) try the activity launching again The problem is http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/6797 . Rainbow races with X and can lose, thus failing to start. Then most activities will be unable to launch (be launched). You might try checking for this problem by inspecting shell.log: tail -30 ~/.sugar/default/logs/shell.log ...after trying to launch an activity. You may see a dbus error about "org.laptop.security.Rainbow was not provided by any files". Martin
