Sugar on openSUSE
openSUSE-Li-f-e 12.3
- Quoted from the webpage:
"openSUSE Education team is proud to present openSUSE-Edu Li-f-e (Linux for Education) based on openSUSE 12.3. The image is a "hybrid" iso image, the same image can be used to burn a Live DVD or to create a Live USB stick. This release includes carefully selected software for students, educators as well as parents. The software selection encompasses everything required to make computers productive for either home or educational use without having to install anything additional. The Live DVD contains KIWI-LTSP server that can be enabled even by non-technical user, it comes bundled with tons of useful applications from openSUSE Education, Build Service and Packman repositories. With the KIWI-LTSP server you can PXE(network) boot other PCs to use this live DVD without installing or modifying anything on them. Booting from hard disk again will leave those PCs as they were. (Please note that running LTSP from Live DVD/USB is meant for demo/testing purpose only, install on the hard disk to use it in production). "

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

Add 2nd Persistent Partition:
fdisk /dev/sd(x)
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 1959.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
