623,Do not write timestamp when not managed to connect,skierpage,erikos,"I booted recent Rawhide-XO on my XO off SD card.  After logging in to Sugar, after the cursor got chunky but before the Home view appeared, the  screen went black and the Gnome spinning cursor returned.

I looked in Sugar's shell.log and saw:
{{{

I guess Python won't turn 'None' into an int, so the code needs to handle this.  I looked in older shell.log files and it happened another time.  I don't know whether this is the reason my Sugar session didn't start.  If it is, it seems all this networking code should be in a try-catch block -- a network failure shouldn't stop the Sugar desktop from launching.",defect,closed,Unspecified by Maintainer,0.84,sugar,0.84.x,Blocker,fixed,r+,,Fedora,Resolved
