Comment:

 Replying to [ticket:328 skierpage]:
 > ''This is a copy of http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/8733 , is it OK to
 duplicate bugs in the two Tracs?''

 Yes, ideally in laptop.org would be only bugs specific to the OLPC
 hw/distro and in sugarlabs.org the ones that are independent of the
 platform. But downstream might also want to trac upstream bugs in their
 own tracker.

 > In Sugar 0.82.1 on staging-27 (an 8.2.1 pre-release) on an XO, I
 inserted a USB flash drive containing a .mp3 file.  In the Journal I can
 hover over the icon and a menu appears with Start; and I can click (>) for
 more details then click the [>] Start menu item. But these do nothing.
 >
 > The JournalActivity log contains
 > {{{
 > WARNING root: No activity can open this object, audio/mpeg.
 > }}}
 >
 > I think the Journal should show some kind of warning, or better it
 should disable the Start menu item and replace its hover dropdown with a
 disabled "Start (no installed activity can open this)".

 Makes sense, though we are in string freeze so this may not make 0.84 :/
