Just installed 8.2-764.
Started software-update which wanted to install some updates and now
also for the first time a lot of library bundles.
Started OK, but remained hanging on the Wikipedia library bundle.
Canceled update and control panel.
Home view still showed all activities, including new ones like Implode.
But no activity wanted to start.
Looking with a terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F2) showed that the complete
/home/olpc/Activities had disappeared !!!
Very, very  bad.
This is the first time I lost everything.
Will file a trac ticket with the corresponding shell.log after this mail.
