OK, I tried the code in the Terminal Activity again a few times, being sure I 
was typing it in correctly and now I get this result:
ls : cannot access      ld: No such file or directory 
/home/olpc/Activities/Scratch.activity:activity  Help       locale   NEWS       
 Readme.txt    ScratchXO.imagebin       license.txt  Media   Projects.skel  
ScratchPlugin   UnicodePlugin 
Then it returns a prompt.  All very colorful, but I haven't a clue what it all 
means. See my initial message at the bottom to see what the problem is saving a 
Scratch project on XOs running build 802.  This is happening on 3 distinct XOs. 
 One has a developer key, the other 2 do not.
I do notice that the code on the prompt varies with the machine:
o...@xo-27-90-c8 ~]$
o...@xo-0d-5c-68 ~]$
o...@xo-27-8a-0f ~]$
I assume these are just individual codes for each machine.  
Have others experienced this problem saving in Scratch?  Is it new to 802?  Is 
there an easy fix? I will be happy to "grannie-fy" it into the wiki and or 
FLOSS manual if you tell me what it is!  
Thanks,Caryl









Hi Walter and All,
I tried your suggestion and the Terminal returned(blue but not a link): 
/home/olpc/Activities/Scratch.activity

I went back into Scratch and it still failed to Save.  I assumed the "l" 
characters were lowercase "Ls," after trying upper case "Is" and getting a 
"command not found."  I have not tried 1s. I also assumed the tilde is the one 
just to the left of the 1 key.
Any idea what is happening?
Thanks,Caryl

My off the cuff guess is that the directory scratch is trying to save to is 
owned by root. Can you use the terminal activity and run the ls command:

ls -ld ~/Activities/Scratch.activity

Please post the output to email.

Hi,
Two grandkids playing with Scratch in build 802.  Both have received this 
message when trying to save their projects:
"Save failed:Folder may be locked or read-only"

Is this a bug or are they doing something wrong?  It happens both with a simple 
"Save" and a "Save As"
I checked the Journals.  One shows 535 MB free, the other 545 MB free.

Thanks,
Caryl
