I have been trying to reproduce your problem, but cannot seem to. I did find a bug in the FLOSS manual chapter on modifying Sugar: the word wrap for the SVG was creating a break between "&" and "fill" that would cause the SVG to fail on ALL computers. When I fixed that, it worked on the XO and my Ubuntu laptop. The only other thing I could think of was that somehow the file permissions were wrong, so that the SVG could not be opened. I experimented with removing read permission on the file, but I did not get any icon in the Home View at all--a different symptom than you describe. But in any case, from the Terminal Activity, please run the command "ls -l /usr/share/icons/sugar/scalable/device" and look at the file permissions. They should be -rw-r--r--. If not, try chmod +r *.
Can you send your broken SVGs as attachments? thanks, -walter On Wed, Oct 22, 2008 at 9:06 AM, Walter Bender <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > curious.
