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

===What's new===
+
* log out,
−
* Tuned up python-dbus clears the last bug that made most activities
+
* log in with the Sugar desktop selected.
−
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 18.04 Bionic

Sugar 0.110 or 0.112 will be in Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic.

Ubuntu 17.10 Artful

Sugar 0.110 is in the archive for Ubuntu 17.10 Artful, and can be installed by typing 

sudo apt install sucrose gir1.2-webkit-3.0
  • log out,
  • log in with the Sugar desktop selected.

Installing the package gir1.2-webkit-3.0 is a workaround for Debian bug #877812.

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, Gnome 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 and set a default desktop environment: 

sudo adduser sugar
sudo su - sugar -c 'echo 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.
