Problem running Sugar on openSUSE 11.0

[James Simmons]

Jigish,

I upgraded to open SUSE 11.1 last night, added the repositories and 
installed sugar and sugar-activities as you instructed.  Everything 
seemed to install just fine, except that sugar-activities said it 
required etoys and that was not available.  It did let me ignore this 
dependency and continue.

When I tried to logout and log back in with a Sugar session instead of 
my usual WindowMaker the screen went black for a bit, then I found 
myself at the login prompt.  I tried it a couple of times.  Then I 
logged back in using WindowMaker and tried to run "sugar" at the command 
prompt.  I got a stack trace with a message saying module "hippo" was 
not found.  I went to Yast and found that there were a couple of Hippo 
Canvas RPMs that were not installed, so I tried installing those.  
Running "sugar" gave me this:

sugar
matchbox-window-manager: Failed to connect to session manager
root window unavailible (maybe another wm is running?)
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/jarabe/desktop/meshbox.py:19:

    import telepathy
ImportError: No module named telepathy

I tried YAST again to see if telepathy was installed.  It looked to me 
like it was.  There were a few RPMs related to telepathy that I had not 
installed, but none of them looked relevant to Sugar so I didn't try to 
install them.  So this is where I am now and I hope you can suggest 
something.

I appreciate the work you put in creating this, by the way, even though 
I haven't got it working yet.  My current Sugar test environment in on 
another machine running Xubuntu and while it was very easy to set up it 
is incomplete, buggy, and badly out of date.

Also, it looks like your version of Sugar does not make use of Zephyr to 
run in a window like sugar-jhbuild does.  I find being able to run 
multiple instances of the Sugar environment on the same box very useful 
for testing the sharing features that all Sugar activities should 
support.  Is there a way to run what you have created this way?

Thanks again,

James Simmons
