I just wanted to give everyone a heads about something coming down the pipe:)
 
On of the primary frustrations that I have been hearing from the
 
community is their inability to easily get hardware for their
 
deployments.
 
In response, we have released of an iso running Sugar on Ubuntu at
 
http://ubuntu.activitycentral.com/makeiso/iso/ubuntu_12.04-20130712_i686.iso
 
* Username is "ubuntu", with empty password.
 
As alway, AC's code is 100% free and open source.
 
 
===What's new===
 
* Tuned up python-dbus clears the last bug that made most activities
 
fail to start.
 
* Logs in into Sugar automatically.
 
* Most activities work (some will need some work, but it should not be
 
caused by problems in Sugar dependencies anymore, but things specific
 
to the activity). To be precise they start,  didn't test them in deeply
 
  Didn't test collaboration yet.
 
* General polish to make it look closer to a final product.
 
===What fails===
 
* Some quirks with the tamtam activities as usual, probably already
 
fixed in newer bundles.
 
* Write does not work as the gtk3 version of pyabiword or the gtk2
 
version of libabiword are not available in Ubuntu, so both gtk2 and
 
gtk3 versions of the activity are missing half of the dependencies.
 
* Etoys and Scratch fail, probably because squeak-vm is not the proper
 
version, so I'll be packaging that later as well.
 
* The keyboard and network sections of the CP fail, the code makes
 
some assumptions about being run in a xo or under fedora, resulting in
 
unhandled exceptions.
 
* Sometimes activities may fail to start if you open them right after
 
logging in, because something with dbus is not yet fully running.

From IRC 07/19/2013:
 
"We are interested in creating a community around the project which AC supports but does not control...."
 
"We are trying to create a community like XSCE to support sugar on ubuntu."

==Sweets Distribution==
 
*'''Sugar 0.94'''
 
 
 
As of 2012-03, Ubuntu does not have a complete, stable version of Sugar in the Ubuntu repositories.  In particular, there is no compatible web browser.
 
 
 
Until this is fixed, try one of these options:
 
* use [[Sweets_Distribution|Sweets]] on Ubuntu, see [[#How_to_install_Sweets_on_Ubuntu|below]],
 
* use a virtual appliance, compatible with any version of Ubuntu, see [[#How_to_install_a_virtual_appliance|below]],
 
* use the incomplete version that Ubuntu provide, see the last section below, or
 
* install from Sugar source.

===How to install Sweets on Ubuntu===
 
 
 
Install packages on an Ubuntu system so that you may run Sugar.
 
 
 
See [[Sweets Distribution#Installation|How to install Sweets Distribution]].
 
 
 
===How to install a virtual appliance===
 
 
 
Install a virtual appliance based on Ubuntu:
 
 
 
*the [[Sugar_Creation_Kit/sck/Sugar-in-Virtualization#Ubuntu_11.04_Sweets_Distribution_sugar_0.94|Ubuntu 11.04 Sweets Distribution Sugar 0.94 virtual appliance]],
 
*a tutorial on [[Tutorials/Installation/Import a VirtualBox appliance|How to import a virtual appliance into VirtualBox]].
 
 
 
There are other virtual appliances based on other distributions, which can be imported into virtualization software on Ubuntu.
 
 
 
*see [[Sugar_Creation_Kit/sck/Sugar-in-Virtualization|Emulator image files]].
 
 
 
==How to install '''Sugar 0.90''' on Ubuntu ==
 
*'''NOT Recommended'''
 
 
 
There are many problems with Sugar on Ubuntu (see [[/0.90|a list for 0.90]]), many of which have been fixed in a later version of Sugar, so we recommend the [[#How_to_install_Sweets_on_Ubuntu|Sweets]] or [[#How_to_install_a_virtual_appliance|virtual appliance]] methods above instead.
 
 
 
In particular, there is no compatible web browser included, though there is a [[/0.90#Problem:_Browse_activity_does_not_work|workaround]].
 
 
 
However, if you wish to to install Sugar on Ubuntu:
 
 
 
*click on Ubuntu Software Center,
 
*search for Sugar,
 
*click on sugar-emulator or sugar,
 
*click on Install,
 
*if asked about other required applications, click to install.
 
 
 
Sugar will be downloaded and installed.
 
 
 
To start Sugar, click on Applications, then Education, then Sugar.
 
 
 
See [[Emulator/Full Screen|how to create a desktop icon that runs Sugar full screen]].
 
 
 
See [[Ubuntu/Previous]] for how to install older versions of Sugar on older versions of Ubuntu using Ubuntu Software Center.
