God created the physical universe, and before he acted in this creation, the universe did not exist. Likewise God did with the spiritual realm.

* Communicate directly with the [[Development Team]]'s work ticket system by using the [http://bugs.sugarlabs.org Sugar Labs '''trac''' instance] to report bugs you find with Sugar on the various distributions.
 +
* Problems registered in the '''trac''' database become work tickets to which you may subscribe, have comments appended, titles changed, log files or screenshots attached, links included, and more.
 +
* The tickets are reviewed periodically by the [[BugSquad]] and so get more [[Development Team]] attention than a report in the wiki or on a mailing list, but are not as broadly announced as with a mailing list post.
 +
* To get broad community attention to a problem, prepare a '''trac''' ticket AND announce it with a link to the '''trac''' ticket page in a posting to sugar-devel AT lists.sugarlab.org (or, if OLPC XO-1 hardware-specific, to devel AT lists.laptop.org).  Register your email address at http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel or http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel to avoid delays in acceptance of your posts.
 +
* In your report, please include background information on your version of Sugar and any links that might be helpful for those investigating the problem.  You may also [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_on_a_Stick/Getting_Involved/Testing#Report_your_hardware_profile report your hardware profile] and upload log files as described in [[OLPC:Reporting bugs]].

Other than creation itself, God is revealed in several ways, including conscience and special revelation (the bible, and prophets). Most importantly though, God is revealed in [[Jesus Christ]], who is the Son of God.

== Attributes or Character of God ==
+
===Journal comes and goes===
−
The attributes of God are things that describe who he is. Similar to the way one might describe a close friend to another individual, so too do these attributes describe God's character and nature. Attributes of God include but are not limited to [[Wisdom]], [[Infinitude]], [[Sovereignty]], [[Holiness]], [[Trinity]], [[Omniscience]], [[Faithfulness]], [[Love]], [[Omnipotence]], [[Self-existence]], [[Self-sufficiency]], [[Justice]], [[Immutability]], [[Mercy]], [[Eternal]], [[Goodness]], [[Gracious]], and [[Omnipresence]]. These attributes all work in complete and perfect harmony with one another.
+
Sugar on Ubuntu doesn't always preserve the Journal between sessions.

−
God exercises eternal and righteous judgment of the wicked in [[hell]], because of an inherent problem in the human heart, namely [[Sin]]. According to the [[Bible]], the sacrifice of [[Jesus Christ]] on the cross of [[calvary]] and then [[resurrection]], is God's merciful and gracious response to the problem of the human heart.

The first verse of the [[Gospel of John]], in which Jesus is referred to as the "Word", makes clear that Jesus is synonymous with God:

−
This verse not only says that "the Word" (Jesus) is synonymous with God, but also says that the Word was "in the beginning", which means that He existed before all else existed, something that is only true of God.

This is reinforced two verses later, in which Jesus is described as the creator.

[[Image:Velasco Padre Eterno.jpg|left|140px|God the Father]]
 
−
In the bible, the word "God" (θεός) does not always refer to God's being as a whole, but more specifically refers to the Person of the Father (God the Father). Here are some verses which demonstrate this:
 
−
{{cquote|'''John 3:16''' (NASB)<br />For <u>God</u> so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten <u>Son</u>, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.}}
 
−
{{cquote|'''1 John 4:10''' (NASB)<br />In this is love, not that we loved <u>God</u>, but that He loved us and sent <u>His Son</u> to be the propitiation for our sins.}}
 
−
Notice how in each case, "Father" can be substituted for "God." For example, "For the ''Father'' so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son," and "not that we loved the ''Father'', but that He loved us and sent His Son."

Journal comes and goes

Sugar on Ubuntu doesn't always preserve the Journal between sessions.

It seems that the index is occasionally broken and the datastore is thus copied to a timestamped entry in .sugar/default/ and empty datastore is opened.
Is this still a problem with 0.84? If so, could you please file a ticket?

.84 sugar

Apps won't load in Fedora 11 emulating sugar under root. Video of behavior: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Lvvjvi3yE0

Colors on Ubuntu

The Colors activity canvas is only half the width of the screen and the aspect ratio is compressed.

This bug is being tracked in Ticket 592

Turtle Art

Turtle Art on a non-1200x900 screen doesn't scale display.

Resolved since Version 17.

Hover menus from the Frame on Ubuntu

They appear in the upper-left corner.

Resolved in 0.84

Can't Shutdown Sugar Spin

I am using the Sugar Spin on a CD and nothing happens when I click on shutdown.

The Sugar LiveCD and LiveUSB releases are going through a lot of testing and newer versions are more reliable. Please try again at Downloads.

WPA/WEP Connectivity Problems

Hmmm. This one falls between the crack of Sugar and the OLPC network stack. Have you asked for help from the OLPC support team? --Walter 19:57, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

No, I haven't. Maybe we should explain what questions should go to OLPC team and what goes here.

Good point. --Walter 20:15, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

UI Element sizes

This is more of an issue than a bug. But I don't know where else to put it for now.

As Sugar is ported to other systems, they will have screens with dimensions significantly different than the XO laptop. On the XO the assumption is made of 1200 x 900 pix, with Sugar occupying a grid of 12 x 16 elements 75 pixels square.
