Ubuntu is a Debian-based Linux operating system, with Unity as its default desktop environment. -- wikipedia.org

In relation to Sugar, Ubuntu is a downstream distribution project that can be used to run Sugar.

Ubuntu 17.04 Zesty

Sugar 0.110 is in the archive for Ubuntu 17.04 Zesty, and can be installed by typing

sudo apt install sucrose

log out,
log in with the Sugar desktop selected.

Using Sugar inside another desktop environment

Sugar is a desktop environment. For developers who use Ubuntu Unity or another desktop environment, Sugar can be run inside that environment as a window.

Install the Remote Desktop packages:

sudo apt install xrdp rdesktop

Create a user for Sugar:

adduser sugar
echo sugar >> /home/sugar/.xsession

Start a session:

rdesktop -g 1200x900 -u sugar -p sugar 0

Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial LTS

Sugar 0.106 is in the archive for Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial, and can be installed by typing

sudo apt install sucrose

Sugar 0.110 can be installed by careful addition of the Ubuntu 17.04 Zesty packages.

Organisations that require Ubuntu 16.04 support for Sugar may consider getting involved in the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates process.

OLPC Ubuntu Sugar 16.04 Xenial LTS

One Laptop per Child has been curating Sugar 0.110 and Activities on the Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial operating system. This build has entered production, and can be acquired through private negotiation or by ordering laptops from OLPC.

OLPC Ubuntu Sugar 14.04 Trusty LTS

One Laptop per Child was curating Sugar and Activities on the Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty operating system, but support for this version has since ended.

Installing a system

How to install Ubuntu with Sugar 0.106:

you must already be familiar with how to install Ubuntu, if not, see Download Ubuntu Desktop, and Install Ubuntu Desktop,
download our installer image (1.2 GB) md5, package list
boot our image and install in the usual way,
log out of the Unity desktop, and then log in with the Sugar desktop selected.

Adding to a system

Note: only available for 64-bit systems, check that uname -i shows x86_64.

How to add Sugar 0.107 to an Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty system:

edit /etc/apt/sources.list to add the OLPC archive,

deb [trusted=yes arch=amd64] http://dev.laptop.org/pub/us trusty main

update the package lists, and install Sugar,

sudo apt update && sudo apt install olpc-ubuntu-sugar

log out of the Unity desktop, and then log in with the Sugar desktop selected.

Upgrading a system

How to upgrade to Sugar 0.107 on an existing Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty system with an earlier version of Sugar already installed:

update the package lists, and apply all pending updates,

sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade

log out, and then log in with the Sugar desktop selected.

Previous releases

See Ubuntu/Previous for how to install older versions of Sugar on older releases of Ubuntu.

-If you need log files for debugging, use the following command in a GNOME terminal ''(not Sugar Terminal)'' to run sugar with debug logs turned on:

-  SUGAR_LOGGER_LEVEL=debug PRESENCESERVICE_DEBUG=1 sugar-emulator

-To report a bug on Sugar or one of the Sugar activities on Ubuntu, use the following steps:
+==Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial LTS==
-* Go to https://launchpad.net/sucrose which represents all the Sugar components and activities supported in Ubuntu.
-* Click on the appropriate component at the bottom of the page. If in doubt, click "Sugar shell" which is the base Sugar component.
-* On the resulting page, scroll down to "Packages" and click on the hardy or intrepid package.
-* On the resulting page, click on the "Bugs" tab at the top of the page.
-* That takes you to a page listing known bugs on the package, and with a red "Report a bug" button.
-Please include any relevant log files in a bug report: activity log files usually are named similarly to "org.laptop.Chat-1.log" (which is the log file for Chat). If you have run the activity multiple times in the current Sugar session, there will be Chat-2, Chat-3, etc so try to include the appropriate one.

+ sudo apt install sucrose
+<!-- last tested with Ubuntu 16.04.1 Xenial) -->
-'''Please note''': The Ubuntu Sugar team will do their best to provide fixes for bugs, but it does take time to get an updated package uploaded through Ubuntu's [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates Stable Release Updates] process. Where possible we'll suggest a workaround, or provide a fix in the [https://launchpad.net/~sugarteam/+archive Sugar Team PPA] first.
+Sugar 0.110 can be installed by careful addition of the Ubuntu 17.04 Zesty packages.
-== Sugar on Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) ==
+Organisations that require Ubuntu 16.04 support for Sugar may consider getting involved in the Ubuntu [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates Stable Release Updates] process.
-The prefered way to run Sugar  on karmic is via sugar-* PPA. The purposes to have these PPAs are that for now there is a lack of official sugar packages in ubuntu(hope it will be resolved soon by porting Debian packages) and give users a chance to test last development releases.
+==OLPC Ubuntu Sugar 16.04 Xenial LTS ==
-Its possible because these PPAs are based on packages generated by [[Deployment_Team/jhconvert|jhconvert]], its not a problem to support them. These packages are pretty simple and straightforward and were generated with one idea in mind - start sugar, so they don't follow any Debian/Ubuntu policies and aren't intended to be official packages.
