Problem running Sugar on openSUSE 11.0

[James Simmons]

Jigish,

OK, I uninstalled both sugar and sugar-activities, then installed just 
sugar.  It did not complain of missing dependencies, and seemed to 
install just fine.  Then I tried running sugar from the command line as 
you instructed:

dbus-launch 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: 
DeprecationWarning: the sha module is deprecated; use the hashlib module 
instead
  import sha
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/sugar-session", line 41, in <module>
    from jarabe.desktop.homewindow import HomeWindow
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/jarabe/desktop/homewindow.py", 
line 24, in <module>
    from jarabe.desktop.meshbox import MeshBox
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/jarabe/desktop/meshbox.py", 
line 35, in <module>
    from sugar.activity import activityfactory
  File 
"/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sugar/activity/activityfactory.py", 
line 29, in <module>
    from sugar.presence import presenceservice
  File 
"/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sugar/presence/presenceservice.py", 
line 32, in <module>
    from sugar.presence.activity import Activity
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sugar/presence/activity.py", 
line 27, in <module>
    import telepathy
ImportError: No module named telepathy

I can see a couple of things here:

1).  It still is complaining about the root window, so I'm guessing that 
even if it worked it wouldn't run in a window like sugar-jhbuild does.
2).  It still is complaining about telepathy.

The traceback above is after I installed nearly everything 
telepathy-related from YAST.  The list of all I installed is as follows:

 rpm -qa | grep telepathy
libtelepathy-0.3.3-1.83
libtelepathy-glib0-0.7.17-1.29
telepathy-mission-control-devel-4.67-18.20
telepathy-gabble-0.7.10-1.27
telepathy-haze-0.2.1-1.30
telepathy-mission-control-4.67-18.20
telepathy-glib-devel-0.7.17-1.17
telepathy-stream-engine-0.5.3-1.66
telepathy-salut-0.3.5-1.29
telepathy-idle-0.1.2-2.35
python-telepathy-0.15.0-1.1
libtelepathy-devel-0.3.3-1.83
gnome-phone-manager-telepathy-0.60-1.52

As you can see python-telepathy is installed.

I hope you can figure out what is wrong here.  I haven't been able to 
get a fully functioning development environment for Sugar on either of 
my Linux workstations, and it has made it difficult to write and test 
Activities.  I considered replacing openSUSE with Fedora but the Fedora 
live CD seems to need a lot more memory to run than I have (I have 256 meg).

Thanks again,

James Simmons
