- Not ready maybe in f21?
- To run gnome-shell under Wayland, execute the following command in a terminal:
gnome-session --session=gnome-wayland
Sugar in arm devices
- Installation
- SoaS
- ARM
Gnome Initial Setup
- Screenshots of gnome3 initial setup with explanatory text
- Be sure to enter both root and user in anaconda
- Gnome-initial-setup requires a stornger password than anaconda does.
- This is important if you plan to use multiple Desktop Environments (DE) you will end up with 2 Users once you run the 2nd DE. ie gnome3 and KDE
- If you do not setup the user name and password in anaconda G-I-S will run in anaconda and repeat I-S when you boot the second DE
- Bug in G-I-S and I-S (Initial-setup)
Fedora-20 anaconda 20.12-1 installer
- NOTE: Latest anaconda 20.25.6-1 in Beta TC-1 is very similar to what is shown below 11/17/2013
- Note also same installer is on F20-DVD and netinstall but with more options.
- Install Destination
- Install Destination select disk and [Back]
- Installation Options
- Choose type of formatting
- Begin Installation
- Installation finished
- Reboot and log in
- Remember to check that installation DVD/CD (or .iso in VM) is removed before retarting
- This may not occur automaticaly with a live .iso-DVD/CD
- 20 Gnome3.10.1 Sugar-runner running f20 sugar 0.100 in VirtualBox. Background from cp is set from picures on f20 install
- If installing sugar from another DE (ie gnome3 or KDE) as a second Desktop Environment:
- In Root Terminal:
yum install @sugar-desktop sugar-runner xorg-x11-server-Xephyr
- sugar-runner is the replacement for sugar-emulator.
- It allows sugar to run full screen from another DE (ie gnome3 or KDE) menu as: Education/sugar
