Cobalt bugs

I hope I am posting to the correct list, but I have 2 Cobalt developer issues.
I am on Windows/XP Pro SP2.

1) Cobalt Ball Frozen
The Cobalt ball (in lower left) currently refuses to budge, and after
I try to click/drag it, the whole image becomes unresposive.
Reinstalling the (latest (cobalt-base-current-build-2008060), or even
original) build does not help at all. However, I am able to drag out
an 'old' demo (Deam(Master)) but then nothing comes up for it.

Perhaps what could have killed things was doing the click/drag while
being connected to the Internet via dialup. Note that I previosuly
had thngs working fine, so to get rid of the bug, I figured I'd do a Windows XP
'System Restore' to a prior date when things were fine, but alas that did not
help at all. Perhaps this has something to do with McAfee SecurityCenter
running?

2) Saving Image With 'Avatar Window'
When I save a Cobalt image with an open 'avatar window', I get walkbacks the
next time I bring up this image, and the image is rendered useless. Is there a
known technique for handling this issue? (I am using the latest Cobalt build
(cobalt-base-current-build-2008060).

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!!

Re: Cobalt bugs

Hi Paul,

About #1:
Dragging the ball shouldn't move the ball but should put a draging window in your desktop to be placed when you release your mouse button. Do you have OpenGL installed for your graphics card.

About #2:
This is a known issue. You can find out more about it and other known bugs here:
http://croquet-src-01.oit.duke.edu/mantis/
or here:
http://bugs.squeak.org/view_all_bug_page.php

Welcome! Please let us know what it is about Croquet that interests you.

Cheers,
Darius

Starting up the broken image and then executing in a workspace:

CroquetHarness cleanup

and then saving and restarting the image may clean out enough junk to get you going again.

Regarding #1: Yes, the 'dragging window' is what I meant. Actually, I
discovered that it works by simply being connected online; if I am offline,
then it doesn't work. But I do recall being able to work offline, but perhaps
I am imagining this. So is it in fact the case that I must be online in order
to be able to drag out the Cobalt avatar window?

Thanks,
- Paul

I have now discovered this: In the original build (cobalt-base-current-build)
working offline is fine for dragging out the cobalt avatar window, but this
feature is unfortunately broken in the latest build
(cobalt-base-current-build-20080608).

Please advise whether this is a bug or a feature removal, as it is quite useful
to be able to work offline.

Thanks

Re: Croquet with openoffice.org

Hi,

As far as I know they use VNC. Matt Schmidt did a tutorial recently.
