As of Update.1, we'll have separated the operating system updates from the activity updates, which may initially give the appearance of activities disappearing. The customization key process (See Customization key) is intended to facilitate customization of activities; also Bert Freudenberg has written a script to install the default set of activities:

     http://dev.laptop.org/~bert/update-activities.py

Getting the activities back is then as simple as:

Start the console by pressing the Ctrl+Alt+Mesh key f1 small.png keys.
Enter the following commands
su - olpc
wget dev.laptop.org/~bert/update-activities.py
python update-activities.py
Return to sugar by pressing the Ctrl+Alt+Home key f3 small.png keys, and the frame should show the extra activities.
