==OLPC Ubuntu Sugar 14.04 Trusty LTS ==
 
I just wanted to give everyone a heads about something coming down the pipe:)
 
On of the primary frustrations that I have been hearing from the
 
community is their inability to easily get hardware for their
 
deployments.
 
In response, we have released of an iso running Sugar on Ubuntu at
 
http://ubuntu.activitycentral.com/makeiso/iso/ubuntu_12.04-20130712_i686.iso
 
* Username is "ubuntu", with empty password.
 
As alway, AC's code is 100% free and open source.
 
  
===What's new===
+
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.
* Tuned up python-dbus clears the last bug that made most activities
 
fail to start.
 
* Logs in into Sugar automatically.
 
* Most activities work (some will need some work, but it should not be
 
caused by problems in Sugar dependencies anymore, but things specific
 
to the activity). To be precise they start,  didn't test them in deeply
 
  Didn't test collaboration yet.
 
* General polish to make it look closer to a final product.
 
===What fails===
 
* Some quirks with the tamtam activities as usual, probably already
 
fixed in newer bundles.
 
* Write does not work as the gtk3 version of pyabiword or the gtk2
 
version of libabiword are not available in Ubuntu, so both gtk2 and
 
gtk3 versions of the activity are missing half of the dependencies.
 
* Etoys and Scratch fail, probably because squeak-vm is not the proper
 
version, so I'll be packaging that later as well.
 
* The keyboard and network sections of the CP fail, the code makes
 
some assumptions about being run in a xo or under fedora, resulting in
 
unhandled exceptions.
 
* Sometimes activities may fail to start if you open them right after
 
logging in, because something with dbus is not yet fully running.

Ubuntu-small.jpg

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:

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.
