[OLPC-SF] Filed a bug

[Cherry Withers]

Hi Mike,

I had persistent "Journal Full" issues with one of your machines. Emptying
the datastore didn't help.  I finally had to do a clean no-fail install
before it went away. I tried updating to 850 and it was giving me the same
problems as before. Journal usage went from 546MB free to 60MB free (even
though it says empty). My known good one didn't have the same problems.

I would be happy to chase this down for you if you like if you'd allow me to
keep that XO for a few more days. I filed a bug on it shown below. Otherwise
I will just keep it at the stable build of 802 for you.

Perhaps there's a quick solution anyways and all of this is moot.

Thanks again for letting me borrow your XOs.

Regards,
Cherry

 Serial Number: CSN74900984 (no known hardware mods)
 Build: 850
 Sugar version: 0.84.16
 Firmware: Q2E44 (updated from Q2E41)

 Other activities installed: GMAIL, Opera, MamaMedia Suite(puzzle builder &
 Flipsticks), XOMaze, SimCity.

 Step I
 - Removal of the journal entries with the following command: rm -r
 /home/olpc/.sugar/default/datastore
 - No entries shown on the journal, in fact it says "journal is empty".
 Journal free space 60MB

 Problem(s): every time an activity is opened up (tried this with Browse,
 Read, Write and Record), a "Journal Full" window pops up.
 Speak hangs.

 Step II:
 1) Did a "no-fail" update (802) and started with a clean slate first.
 Journal is 546MB free and shows as empty.
 2) Checked activities: Speak, Record, Browse, Write work great.
 3) Proceeded to do an olpc-update 10.1.2_xo1-850

 Result(s):
 Same as above persistent "Journal full" message and pop-up window.

 Other observations: I do have another XO1 that has the 850 build and is
 quite stable. Free Journal memory after a clean build is 238MB.

 Reproducible? Yes, on the same machine.
