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

There are still lots of non-fatal error messages in the terminal, but it looks like these can be ignored. I used <code>sugar-emulator --dpi=200</code>. Logging in to a Sugar session from <code>gdm</code> worked too.

: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:
 
−
    sudo chown -R robert ~/.sugar
 
−
: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)
