 While running software update  for candidate-765 the Activities directory
 was deleted.  This was not during the initial run of Software Update after
 booting on completion of olpc-update, but when called from the control
 panel.
 Note I had added http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/Joyride to the
 Upgrade Groups.
 While software update was running a warning dialog came up stating the
 journal was full.  This seemed to happen while WikiBrowse_English was
 downloading.  Then when I checked how much free space I had I saw I had
 approximately 200 MB free.

 I then went to check the contents of the /home/olpc/Activities directory
 in the virtual terminal but the Activities directory was missing!!!!
 Running Software Update after this happened failed to download any
 activities.  Also it failed to create a new Activities directory.

 This problem occurred with a system that had 656 upgraded to candidate-765
 using olpc-update.  The missing Activities directory had been created and
 originally populated a while ago when I was testing joyride builds
