Yea just checked, the env is SUGAR_SCALING=100 >> TurtleArt fails to launch, log suggests issue with numpy: File "/usr/ >> lib/python2.6/site-packages/numpy/polynomial.py, line 18; from >> numpy.linalg import eigvals, listsq; ImoortError: No module named >> linalg (sorry couldn't copy paste the full traceback, some breakage >> in >> numpy.oldnumeric support?). > > http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/797 Any pointers to the file where SUGAR_SCALING is being set? Wanted to manually tweak and try at 72, but don't know the start-up sequence files (the patch mentions sugar.in but that file doesn't seem to exist in a real build, poking about xinitrc/Xsessions/Xclients and the /etc/ init.d I came up blank).
