<br>
</div>Almost. It's trying the "old way" of asking for the user name ("ownerBuddy") via DBus. This fails on newer Sugar versions, so in the error handler it then tries to use gconf to find the user name. It's reading .gconf/desktop/sugar/user/%gconf.xml and expects to find a "name" tag in it. Apparently that fails.<br>
<br>
As for your startup problems, you appear to be missing an empty argument following the image argument. That is taken by Etoys as a "startup" document. After this empty argument there are additional arguments, like SQUEAKLETS etc.:<br>
<br>
... /usr/share/etoys/etoys.image "" SQUEAKLETS ...<br>
<br>
If you look at /usr/bin/etoys, it uses<br>
<br>
"$VM" -plugins "$BIN" $VMOPTIONS "$IMAGE" "$DOCUMENT" $IMOPTIONS<br>
<br>
and "$DOCUMENT" is that startup document. It must be present, even if empty, if there are other image options following.<br>
<br>
