jhbuild on Jaunty has problems

[walter]

I just did a clean install of jhbuild on Jaunty and while everything seemed to build OK, when I run Sugar, I get lots of problems, most notably:

* the default window size is very small (no longer 1200x900)
* keyboard shortcuts don't work, including the F1-F4 keys
* many activities fail for various reasons (I'll make a detailed list at some point)

Here is the console output, which suggests some X and WM problems.

* the default window size is very small (no longer 1200x900)

That's intentional and has been changed recently as part of merging #565 after some IRC discussion about the best default.

* keyboard shortcuts don't work, including the F1-F4 keys

Probably #342.

* many activities fail for various reasons (I'll make a detailed list at some point)

Obviously I need to see the actual errors. :)

[config/dbus] couldn't take over org.x.config: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied (Connection ":1.144" is not allowed to own the service "org.x.config.display100" due to security policies in the configuration file)

I don't remember having seen that one before. It seems to be a problem of Xephyr, though, not sugar-emulator. If running "Xephyr :100" gives the same error, please report it to Ubuntu.

$ Xephyr :100
[config/dbus] couldn't take over org.x.config: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied (Connection ":1.53" is not allowed to own the service "org.x.config.display100" due to security policies in the configuration file)

Seems to give the same error. I'll file a ticket with Ubuntu.

What I don't understand is why I am only now being bit by #342, after my Jaunty upgrade.

Some research on dev.sugarlabs.org turned up #310, which fits quite well.

Maybe your X configuration was changed to use evdev instead of the "old" kbd driver as part of the upgrade?

Setting to duplicate as the reported issues are already tracked. Please file new bugs for the other issues (various activites failing for different reasons).
