==Notes==

From IRC Aug 3 2013
 
−
<dfarning> You can download the new alpha image from
 
−
<dfarning> http://ubuntu.activitycentral.com/makeiso/iso/ubuntu_12.04-20130730_i686.iso
 
−
<dfarning> (md5 a91fb1e3b8bdc1c8bdea701702ef807c)
 
−
<dfarning> In this release all control panel sections should work:
 
−
<dfarning> - The keyboard section was failing because of libxklavier lacking the...
 
−
...
 
−
<dfarning> satellit_e:  Dextrose on Trisquel, the new toast, should be coming out this week or later for those who prefer 100% free :)

−
From Lists: support-gang@laptop.org 07/15/2013
 
−
 
−
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.

==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]].
 
−
 
 
−
===sweets-sugar 0.94 works in Ubuntu 12.10 (unity and [http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/1246 '''cinnamon'''])===
 
−

−
 
 
−
==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.
