Although the Write log file (~/.sugar/default/logs/org.laptop.AbiWordActivity-1.log) is searched as you told to attach, it is not available in the XO. Followings are the steps I followed to search that file.
- Go to terminal
- Then it displays the path as “/home/olpc"
- Enter command ‘cd .sugar/default/logs’ and press "enter"
But in this folder "org.laptop.AbiWordActivity-1.log" is not available
Since the file is not available there I followed another way as below,
- Go to home page
- Click on the activity "Log" and searched the file "org.laptop.AbiWordActivity-1.log”.
But in there also it is not available
It is pleasure if you can tell any other way to get the log

Unfortunately up to (but not including) the very latest release of Sugar (0.88), that's what happens when an activity fails to start. No matter how fast it fails, it will always shows the pulsing screen for a long time. See #1447 for details.
As for Write on OS802B5, can you attach the Write log file (~/.sugar/default/logs/org.laptop.AbiWordActivity-1.log), please?

Thanks for trying! Have you started Write right before looking for the log file? ~/.sugar/default/logs only contains the logs of the current session. For older files (up to 4 old sessions are kept) you need to check the subdirectories with a large number as names. The number represents time, so the one with the largest number is contains the logs of the most recent (but not current) session.
The following command should help you locate the file:
ls ~/.sugar/default/logs/*/org.laptop.AbiWordActivity-1.log
If even after trying to start Write again there is no such log file to be found, can you please do both of the following?
- Attach ~/.sugar/default/logs/shell.log
- Paste the output of:
ls ~/.sugar/default/logs

Duplicate of #1878? Both tickets have good info, so not closing either, but they should probably be closed together when resolved.
