:''Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run.'' -- [https://www.debian.org/ debian.org]
 
 
 
In relation to Sugar, Debian is a downstream distribution project that can be used to run Sugar.
 
 
 
== Using Sugar on Debian ==
 
 
 
There are no pre-built Debian images for Sugar.  To use Sugar in Debian:
 
 
 
* install Debian ''Jessie'' in the usual way, see [https://www.debian.org/ debian.org],
 
* change <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt> to use the Debian ''Stretch'' testing release,
 
sudo sed -i 's/jessie/stretch/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
 
* update the package lists,
 
sudo apt update
 
* install Sugar,
 
sudo apt install sucrose-0.104
 
* start a display manager or reboot,
 
sudo service gdm3 start
 
* log in with the Sugar desktop selected.
 
 
 
We use the testing ''Stretch'' release because Sugar is not in the current stable ''Jessie'' release, as it was not ready. But this has been fixed.
 
 
 
== Packaging ==
 
 
 
Packaging of Sugar on Debian is done by a team:
 
* [https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-sugar/ pkg-sugar project],
 
* [https://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-sugar-devel pkg-sugar-devel mailing list],
 
* [https://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-sugar-commit pkg-sugar-commit mailing list],
 
* [https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-sugar/ pkg-sugar git repositories],
 
* [http://debian.jones.dk/pkg/sugar_/ package archive of Jonas Smedegaard],
 
 
 
Sucrose packages are usually updated in the unstable release. These packages migrate to the testing release after a while. You can see the current package versions [http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=sugar&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all here].
 
 
 
Those interested in developing Sugar software should visit our [http://developer.sugarlabs.org/ developer documentation website].
 
 
 
== Derivatives ==
 
 
 
Derivatives of Debian include:
 
* [[Ubuntu]],
 
* [[Raspbian]] for the Raspberry Pi.
 
 
 
== See Also ==

== Fixing dependencies in Wheezy ==

This was my workaround to this problem:
 
 
 
1. /etc/apt/sources.list
 
 
 
  deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
 
  deb-src ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
 
 
 
2. update the package database
 
 
 
  sudo apt-get update
 
 
 
3. download the source code
 
 
 
  cd /tmp
 
  mkdir pygobject
 
  apt-get source python-gi
 
 
 
4. install dependencies
 
 
 
  sudo apt-get build-dep python-gi
 
  sudo apt-get install python-gobject-2-dbg
 
 
 
5. compile python-gi
 
 
 
  cd pygobject-3.2.0
 
  wget -c http://mkaufmann.com.ar/~humitos/olpc/pygi-d37680bb9390426f7f58ea3d352c3e5e2106e978_modified.patch
 
  git apply pygi-d37680bb9390426f7f58ea3d352c3e5e2106e978_modified.patch
 
  dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b
 
 
 
6. install compiled packages
 
 
 
  sudo dpkg -i ../*.deb
 
 
 
Now, when I run "./sugar-jhbuild run sugar-emulator" I can see the
 
icons and the toolbar properly.
 
== Testing ==
 
Where Debian is installed via the Debian installer or virtual machine, Sugar has been reported to run nicely.
 
:Sugar 0.88.0 works nicely in Debian squeeze.
 
Low footprint versions (eg no Gnome Display Manager) with SLiM and Openbox only, are reported [[User:Inkyfingers/Debian | in this link]] to cause a problem.
