Re: 8.2.1 activity launch failure not recorded
2009/2/23 Mikus Grinbergs mi...@bga.com: I had the RoadMap Activity installed on my 800 system. I just updated (via manual 'sugar-install-bundle') to the latest version. Now it does not launch. The fault is likely to be mine - I either goofed the manual install, or should not have applied the latest-and-greatest to 8.2.1. Nevertheless, I expect that when an Activity fails to launch, there would be some sort of log made to help the user find out what went wrong. As far as I can tell, __NOTHING__ whatsoever got recorded about the launch failure. Sounds like you've found a bug, there should always be something logged. Perhaps you could file a ticket with olpc-log output attached? Thanks, Daniel ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
Re: 8.2.1 activity launch failure not recorded
Sounds like you've found a bug, there should always be something logged. Perhaps you could file a ticket with olpc-log output attached? There are two perfectly good existing tickets (#8861, #8834). My point was that this problem can still show up in 8.2.1. [Attached some log output to #8834.] mikus ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel

In future, it's helpful to have such information in the first mail (not a regression, seen it before, here are the trac ids).

Yes Mikus, you've noted the long and much HATED quick and dirty code hack that makes the launching animation almost purely time dependant. It closes after N seconds, or if it gets a message to say the activity actually launched. There are even some activities that launch faster than the pulsing launcher can get it's knickers untwisted, leaving you looking at a pulsing icon for the full N seconds even through the activity is already running in the background! To be frank it's a pretty shocking code quality indictment, but I'm sure there must be some really unpleasant implementation issues in getting this right. The activity logs (for me) usually show the failure pretty instantly, so I can switch away from the throbbing icon and back to vim to fix my code (usually some careless typo) and re-launch pretty quick – but still annoying. --Gary mikus ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
