XO 1.5 MySqueak does not run

[reuben]

MySqueak does not launch in Gnome.

[bert]

Ah, I forgot about that. MySqueak shouldn't even be in the menu. Not sure why the Fedora bug got closed:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=527103

IMHO the Right Thing to do is remove the desktop entry for MySqueak, and add one to the Etoys package instead. I attached an Etoys icon for this. The desktop entry should simply run "etoys".

[bert]

Actually, there already is a menu entry for Etoys, no need to add one. It is just mis-categorized under "AudioVideo", should be "Education".

But the MySqueak entry should be removed from the squeak-vm package:

/usr/share/applications/squeak.desktop

(unless it can be shown conditionally)

[dsd]

This is a fedora issue. The discussion in the above bug report seems reasonable to me, but I created a new one for making this go away https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=544256

[Quozl]

We're waiting for fix in the Fedora bug 544256.

[Quozl]

Checked, found no progress on Fedora bug 544256.

Reproduced on os125, switched to GNOME, attempted Applications -> Programming -> MySqueak, still no response.

The file /tmp/olpc-dm-client.error.log has a line added to it each time this menu item is attempted:

Could not find default image to install -- giving up.

This matches the output when "/usr/bin/mysqueak" is run manually.

As a hack we could remove /usr/share/applications/squeak.desktop in the build ... this prevents the menu from appearing.

Bug review with cjb

[greenfeld]

Still in 10.1.3 build os351. Erikos proposes fixing this for 10.1.3.

[erikos]

Reading through the backlog I concluded that it is fine to remove the desktop specific files from the squeak-vm package. I re-created the rpm and etoys still runs fine on Sugar and GNOME and the entry of "MySqueak" is gone. The same patch could go upstream I guess. We would need to ping the maintainer.

Commented as well on the Fedora Bug.

[erikos]

I have added the rpm squeak-vm-3.10.5-4.fc11.i586.rpm with the patch from above in my repo for inclusion in the next build.

The Fedora bug handles the long term fix.

[erikos]

Is in 354.

[erikos]

Worked for me in 354.

[greenfeld]

The mysqueak icons are gone from 10.1.3 os354.
