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 0.112 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.

Using Sugar inside another desktop environment on Ubuntu

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 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.

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 0.112 can be installed by careful addition of the Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic packages; temporarily change sources.list, update, and install the Sugar packages again, then restore sources.list.

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 0.112 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.

Previous releases

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

+==Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic==
-The Sugar packages for Ubuntu provide a Sugar environment that is easy to install and can be configured as an X session in gdm or run in a window with sugar-emulator.
+Sugar 0.112 will be in Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic.
-== Sugar on Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid) ==

+==Using Sugar inside another desktop environment on Ubuntu==
+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.
-'''This is likely to be reimplemented as Lucid hits Feature Freeze'''
+Install the Remote Desktop packages:
-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.
+ sudo apt install xrdp rdesktop
-== Sugar on Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) ==
+Create a user for Sugar and set a default desktop environment:
+ sudo adduser sugar
+ sudo su - sugar -c 'echo sugar >> .xsession'
-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.
+Start a session:
+  rdesktop -g 1200x900 -u sugar -p sugar 0
-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.

-Ubuntu (Karmic) now provides a nicer way to add repositories. Type the

- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sugarteam/0.86
+Sugar 0.106 is in the archive for Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial, and can be installed by typing
-Using the command above results in both importing the GPG key for a

-"sugarteam-0.86-karmic.list" with all the proper magic in it.  The
-output of the command looks like this (line-wrapped for readability):
- $ add-apt-repository ppa:sugarteam/0.86
+Sugar 0.112 can be installed by careful addition of the Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic packages; temporarily change sources.list, update, and install the Sugar packages again, then restore sources.list.

+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.
-Jaunty, the current Ubuntu release, has Sucrose 0.83 packages synced from [[Community/Distributions/Debian|Debian]].

-Sugar does not work out-of-the-box under Jaunty as of 2009-07-01, although there is a workaround. See the [[Talk:Community/Distributions/Ubuntu|discussion here]] for more information.
