Daniel - I deliberately posted to fedora-olpc-list with a hard-to-pin-down situation (in hopes that someone other than you would read it). The error in this case (shown in the log attached to my post) is "ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0/evince.so: undefined symbol: ev_selection_get_selection_map". I expect that Sugar's invocation ('import evince') has not changed since F11, where it works. But the called 'evince.so' module is smaller in F11 (and has other install dependencies), whereas it has grown to three times that size in F14. Is it kosher to file a bug against Sugar because something *called* by Sugar has (in the version fetched by 'yum' when running build os1) a problem in F14 ? I don't know the answer. > nobody other than me is fixing the problems right now Bummer. I do think that problems with the 'evince.so' that came from an F14 yum repository ought to be off your radar. > I'm just trying to focus and organize the OS-level work, and to avoid > wasting time on bug tracking in this early stage. My question assumed that if a symptom shows up in 'Object Chooser' in 0.90 (which the XO-1 installs with F14), then "bug tracking" would not need to be performed SEPARATELY for F14 than the "bug tracking" already being done for 0.84 (which is included in, say, Milestone 10.0.3). If nobody other than you looks at things uncovered in os1 but unrelated to "construction of an F14 build that will run on the XO" -- then I guess I would describe their attitude as "problems are real only if they show up in 'officially released' builds". Oh well. mikus p.s. My most obvious problem at first with os1 was the inability to use the keyboard arrow keys in 'vi' in Terminal (I switched to using the hjkl keys instead); plus the presence of garbage text in the background of the 'vi' screen. Also, I couldn't get to a text console. Eventually, I went into 'My Settings' -> 'Keyboard' and specified a more appropriate keyboard model. That seemed to "activate" the <ctl-alt-Fn> sequence that allows me to get into a text console -- and now in a text console 'vi' works properly with os1. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
