Re: Restarting a half-started activity
--- Asheesh Laroia wrote: As I debug how to start my activity with an LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or for other reasons), sometimes it fails to start correctly at all. In those cases, my activity's icon just sits in the ring that shows running activities. When I move the mouse over it, Sugar tells me it is Starting..., but when I look for its process in the 'ps aux' output, the process has already terminated. How can I remove the activity from the Sugar thinks it's starting state so I can reattempt to start the activity without rebooting the laptop? (Thanks all; you've been super helpful so far. If my questions start running into FAQ territory I'm perfectly okay with being told to read some document.) -- Asheesh. --- end of quote --- On later builds (I'm not sure exactly which build) there is a timeout on activities that are taking a long time to load, usually because of an error. The other option is to just restart X. You can do this by pressing ctrl+alt+backspace - AlexL ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

Re: boot failed after updating MP to joyride-357 (activation?)
--- Tomeu Vizoso wrote: Hi, After rebooting, a sad face appeared, 'BOOT FAILED' was written at the top left and under the laptop icon was a lock. Booting the alternate image (pressing the 'O' button while powering on) worked fine. What did I wrong? Thanks, Tomeu --- end of quote --- I'm guessing you were updateing from either 623 or 649, and that while your laptop has been activated, it is still secure. Secure laptops (having the write protect set) will only boot into signed images (i.e. the likely signed version of 623 or 649 that you had) None of the joyride builds are signed. If you want to run them, you need to turn security off on your laptop. To do this, Apply for a Developer Key. If you open the browser on 649, click on 'other' and then 'about your xo' At the very bottom of the page, there is a link to getting a developer key. Follow the instructions, and you should get a developer key in a day or two, depending on when cscott makes them. This will enable you to get to the ok prompt in open firmware, which means you can boot into any image you want. - AlexL ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

That is probably why it created a backup and tried to restore from it. This means there may be some issues with the auto-reinstallation process, which should be looked into. - AlexL ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
