This page contains information and resources for testing this Sugar release.

• activity erase should correctly expose a system activity still installed #4836,
• occasional activity failed to start should no longer occur #2974,

Testing with updates

For Fedora systems such as the XO laptop, with 0.104.1 and earlier versions, update only the Sugar packages, like this:

su
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
wget http://dev.laptop.org/~german/rpms-0105/rpms-0105.repo
yum update sugar*
reboot

For commodity hardware or virtual machines, install 0.105.2 using Ubuntu Trusty 14.04.2.

For Ubuntu Trusty systems tracking 0.104 packages, update all packages, like this:

sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade

For Debian Jessie systems, see How to test Sugar 0.105.1 on Debian Jessie.

Please test without removing the .sugar directory, so that we can find any update problems. To test removing the directory:

rm -fr /home/olpc/.sugar

Testing with images

We have created images with the latest packages. These builds are "clean" Sugar Labs images, which do not include any customization. These images are NOT signed by OLPC, therefore you need an unlocked XO for installing these images. Contact OLPC if you need signed images.
