Description
Hello,
I installed Sugar On a Stick 64-bit version (as dual boot) from https://spins.fedoraproject.org/soas/download/index.html, on my Asus E200HA laptop. The installation was successful, however, anytime I try to open Physics activity, I get the error message 'Physics failed to start'.
Any help in solving this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Fedora 25 SoaS wasn't tested before release, and contains Physics-26, though if installed on disk a later version is available as an update from Fedora.
Even so, Physics-26 and later fails with an error that mentions RAND_LIMIT_swigconstant, which you can see using the Log activity.
I've fixed the error, but a new release of Physics with the fix is not yet available. You might test the development branch by starting Terminal and typing
This works for me on Fedora 26.
Hope that helps.
