[Sugar-devel] Error on running sugar-activity

[James Cameron]

The datastore process failed.  Look in datastore.log for more
information.

Datastore is started by Sugar through D-Bus API, and would normally
continue operating until Sugar is stopped.  If it fails before an
activity is started, then the activity call through the D-Bus API will
restart the datastore.  The traceback you pasted shows this has
happened, and then the datastore failed again.

Check the D-Bus service file created by the datastore source.  It may
refer to the wrong path for the binary.
