 Some days ago (G1G1, Q2D16), using a recent f7-based Joyride (2056),
 issued 'olpc-update --full -v --force --usb' to update the "alternate
 version" to a recent f9-based Joyride (2087).  Having booted into and run
 the f9 version, I re-booted into the alternate.  The f7 version came up
 into Sugar, but the Home view showed only the central "me" icon, without
 the Journal icon (and without any other Activity icons).  Went to the text
 console (alt-ctl-F2), but could find NOTHING (particularly in /var/log,
 nor anything Journal-related in .sugar/default/logs) that would show me
 how come Journal had not been started.  In effect, installing f9 (as the
 new primary version) had made f7 (now as the alternate version) unusable.

 [Yesterday helped a friend go through a similar update (in his case from
 Joyride 2044 to Joyride 2104).  Same result -- when the Joyride 2044 was
 subsequently booted, no Journal to be seen (nor Activities).]
