[Sugar-devel] Error on running sugar-activity

[Swarup N]

I agree with James,
I have not had a problem with the order either, because I have often used
multiple orders while settings up Sugar v0.114 in the past.

The activity is being run outside the sugar desktop environment. When I log
into to the Sugar desktop, from the initial gdm3 greeter, the activities in
the home view (Favourites) do not appear. On trying to run an activity from
the home view (All activities), the activity does not start, rather, the
icon continues to blip on the screen,

On looking at the shell.log in the logs directory, I have the following
warnings,

(metacity:3385): metacity-WARNING **: 16:58:35.241: Screen 0 on display
":0" already has a window manager; try using the --replace option to
replace the current window manager.
1564399715.389937 ERROR root: window manager did fail,
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/jarabe/main.py:378: Warning:
g_spawn_command_line_async: assertion 'command_line != NULL' failed
  Gtk.main()

Thanks.
