I have updated most activities in X11:Sugar.
Some of them failed to start as no updated version is available, namely:
Analyze, Colors!, Connect, FiftyTwo, Mail, View Slides
Some other problems are:
1. DrGeoII failed to start.
2. Cursor in Story Builder does not display properly.
3. Speak runs a bit slow. (not sure if it is a problem)
4. Record failed to record audio.
5. Jukebox failed to play audio.

Instructions

Important, for VMX openSUSE Appliances:

openSUSE-Sugar-0.1.0-Build2.26.1.vmx
no password req to start
Password(root)=sugaruser
====================================
To reset SUGAR ENTIY:
(Clear out name, color, and Sugar Journal contents)
       <sugar terminal>
	rm -rf ~/.sugar
	su -
	password:sugaruser
	shutdown -h now
	restart sugar

INSTRUCTIONS ***VERY IMPORTANT!***
======================================
when you open this VM Appliance with VMPlayer for first time:
	use "I moved it"
	NO NOT click "I Copied it"
	Doing so generates a 2nd MAC id for the network card and leaves it as eth0
	not configured  (It will not work)
	clearing the /.sugar entity (see above) does not affect Mac address
	Nor does changing the color or name on the sugar control panel.

***** ALSO Do the following Right away after opening sugar for the first time:*****
*<sugar terminal>
	su -
 	Password:xxx (see above)
	yast2 sysconfig
	System>Sysconfig>Enable Sysconfig>(NO)
		(this locks out network reconfig)
	exit, shutdown, restart
 **(This seems to stop the autoconfiguration of openSUSE on restart)**

IF F1 Neighborhood is not connecting:

Try this First to start Network Manager:

<sugar terminal>

su -
password:xxx
rcnetwork restart
=============
NETWORKING FIX:
	(Networking Fix for loss of F1 Neighborhood:)
	<sugar terminal>
	su-
	Password:xxx (see above)
	yast2 lan 
	switch to non-Network Manager control
	Delete other network cards 
	configure DHCP 4 with hardware and eth0
	exit 

once you get networking to work;
	*<sugar terminal>
	su -
	Password:xxx (see above)
	yast2 lan
	select Network Manager
	exit
		(change to network manager for wireless configration)
then:
	*<sugar terminal>
	su -
 	Password:xxx (see above)
	yast2 sysconfig
	System>Sysconfig>Enable Sysconfig>(NO)
		(this locks out network reconfig)
	exit, shutdown, restart
