[Sugar-devel] Moon activity fail to start when system date is invalid

[Lionel Laské]

Hi all,

Testing a new OS build on an XO-1, I was surprised to have an issue on Moon
activity (failed to start, see log below). Trying to understand why into
the source code, I finally understood that it was related to an invalid
system date (set around 1999). Seems that Moon activity can't work if the
system date is under 2000. Not really an issue but good to know thought.

Just my two cents.

                  Lionel.

P.S.: Tested on Moon version 16, the latest one
