Testing with updates
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 commodity hardware or virtual machines, Ubuntu#Installing_an_unstable_system install 0.105.2 using Ubuntu Trusty 14.04.2.
For Ubuntu Trusty systems tracking 0.104 packages, update all packages, like this:
sudo apt update sudo apt dist-upgrade
For Debian Jessie systems, see How to test Sugar 0.105.1 on Debian Jessie.
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
Testing with images
We have created images with the latest 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 unlocked XO for installing these images. Contact OLPC if you need signed images.
