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 17.10 Artful==
- 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===
+Sugar 0.110 is in the archive for Ubuntu 17.10 Artful, and can be installed by typing
- * 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.

-As of 2012-03, Ubuntu does not have a complete, stable version of Sugar in the Ubuntu repositories.  In particular, there is no compatible web browser.
+Installing the package gir1.2-webkit-3.0 is a workaround for [https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=877812 Debian bug #877812].
-Until this is fixed, try one of these options:

-* use [[Sweets_Distribution|Sweets]] on Ubuntu, see [[#How_to_install_Sweets_on_Ubuntu|below]],
-* use a virtual appliance, compatible with any version of Ubuntu, see [[#How_to_install_a_virtual_appliance|below]],
-* use the incomplete version that Ubuntu provide, see the last section below, or
-* install from Sugar source.

-*'''NOT Recommended'''
-There are many problems with Sugar on Ubuntu (see [[/0.90|a list for 0.90]]), many of which have been fixed in a later version of Sugar, so we recommend the [[#How_to_install_Sweets_on_Ubuntu|Sweets]] or [[#How_to_install_a_virtual_appliance|virtual appliance]] methods above instead.
+ sudo apt install sucrose
