Need help installing an activity

[shivaprasad javali]

Hi Bert,

          I tried sugar-install-bundle its giving me an error timeout in the
network connection. Do i have to be connected in the network before I can
run that command??

         Also i tried Simon's suggestion in the follow up mail. When i try
to install it through the browse activity it just stays on that page for a
long time with a waiting mouse cursor and then abruptly quits without
installing the activity. Also i cannot find an entry for that download in
the journal

     Can you think of anything that i might be doing wrong??  When I use
unzip to unzip the .xo file in the appropriate directory and restart the
xserver it works fine.
