I was able to make the sugar packages work by adding a gconf setting:

== Sources list does not contain OLPC sources ==
−
gconftool-2 -s /desktop/sugar/desktop/favorites_layout -t string ring-layout

I think this will be fixed by adding the right gconf schema to the package, and hopefully will be fixed in version 0.84.

Previously, it was thought that [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/325706 a problem with Xephyr and dbus] was at fault, but the above workaround shows that it's a Sugar packaging problem.

:The error you're getting above is because you ran it as root. Now it has some log files lying around that it's trying to use, but you don't have permission to modify them. You can do something like this to resolve that problem:

:That will get you back to the point where you see the underlying problem, which is reported in <code>~/.sugar/default/logs/shell.log</code> that has to do with dbus.

Resize in VirtualBox?

When using Ubuntu Sugar image olpc-ubuntu-sugar-14.04.2-desktop-amd64-1432093697.iso in VirtualBox, there are "some issues of window not sizing for full screen viewing and scrolling. Also some of the stop buttons on the upper right corner does not show well." -- Anonymous Coward.

Install the virtualbox-guest-utils package in the virtual machine. See how to Setup a Virtual Machine for Ubuntu Sugar. Is fixed for next build. --Quozl (talk) 21:47, 22 May 2015 (EDT)
The fix is in the new build, see Installing an unstable system. --Quozl (talk) 04:14, 6 June 2015 (EDT)

Sources list does not contain OLPC sources

When using a system installed from olpc-ubuntu-sugar-14.04.2-desktop-amd64-1432093697.iso the software sources list is incorrect. This is fixed for the next build. For the moment, a workaround is to update the sources list. See post by Iain. --Quozl (talk) 03:43, 2 June 2015 (EDT)

The fix is in the new build, see Installing an unstable system. --Quozl (talk) 04:14, 6 June 2015 (EDT)
