 Previously I installed xo-get and it worked fine.

 But when I upgraded to 703, I am unable to get xo-get to work.

 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Xo-get

 What I tried:

 install activity from activity page. When i click on icon in Sugar, it
 flashes and then after 1 minute disappears.

 In response, I deleted Xo-get directory from /home/olpc/Activities

 Then I tried again.

 then I deleted the activity in my home (it wasn't there). I also deleted
 .xo-get directory.

 wget http://xo-get.olpc.at/xo-get.py
 chmod u+x xo-get.py


 I can run the update command and that works successfully.

 [olpc at xo-0D-38-98 ~]$ ./xo-get.py install xo-get

   xo-get 1.2.5
   ~~~~~~~~~~~~

   Installing Activity 'xo-get' (33.5 kb):
   - Do you want to proceed? [y/n] y

 - Download => /home/olpc/.xo_get/xoget.xo
 - Starting Installation
   - Error installing Activity. Maybe already installed.

 (The confusing thing about this message is that I verified that there is
 no Activity directory or .xo-get directory.



 I ran ./xo-get.py start xo-get and got a trackback "No such file or
 directory: /home/olpc/Activities/xoget.activity

 [olpc at xo-0D-38-98 ~]$



 One other thing. I noticed that the bottom list of Activity icons doesn't
 give you the option to Remove Activity if you hover the mouse over the
 icon too long.

 This is a frustrating experience. I have no idea what is going on.
 Frankly,  i really used to depend on this program.
