For Fedora systems such as the XO laptop, with 0.104.1 and earlier versions.

Update only the Sugar packages, like this:

su
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
wget http://dev.laptop.org/~german/rpms-0105/rpms-0105.repo
yum update sugar*
reboot

For Ubuntu Trusty systems tracking 0.104 packages, update all packages, like this:

sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade

Please test without removing the .sugar directory, so that we can find any update problems. To test removing the directory:

rm -fr /home/olpc/.sugar

We have created images with the latest Sugar 0.105 packages. These builds are "clean" Sugar Labs images, which do not include any customization.

These images are NOT signed by OLPC, therefore you need an unsecured XO for installing these images. Contact OLPC if you need signed images.
