-==Summary==

-You have an Ubuntu system and you wish to try Sugar?
-As of 2012-02, Ubuntu does not have a stable version of Sugar in the Ubuntu repositories.  Until this is fixed, your choices are:
-* use [[Community/Distributions/Sweets_Distribution|Sweets]] on Ubuntu, (recommended for Ubuntu 11.04),
-* use a virtual appliance, (compatible with any version of Ubuntu),
-* use the unstable version 0.90 of Sugar, from the Ubuntu repositories, (compatible with any version of Ubuntu),
-* install from Sugar source.
-==How to install Sweets on Ubuntu==
-This is explained in a section of the Sweets distribution page:
-*[[Community/Distributions/Sweets#Ubuntu_and_its_derivates How to install Sweets on Ubuntu]]
-==How to install a virtual appliance ==
-This is explained in a section of the Sugar Creation Kit page:
-*http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Creation_Kit#Ubuntu_11.04_sweets-distribution_sugar_0.94
-There are other virtual appliances based on other distributions, which can be imported into virtualisation software on Ubuntu.
-==How to install Sugar 0.90 on Ubuntu 11.10==
-*click on Ubuntu Software Centre,
-*search for Sugar,
-*click on sugar-emulator-0.90,
-*click on Install,
-Sugar will be downloaded and installed.
-To start Sugar, click on Dash, then search for Sugar.
-==How to install Sugar 0.90 on Ubuntu 11.04==
-*click on Applications, then Ubuntu Software Centre,
-*search for Sugar,
-*click on Install,
-Sugar will be downloaded and installed.
-To start Sugar, click on Applications, then Education, then Sugar.
-==Using Sugar 0.90 on Ubuntu==
-===Problem: unexpected dialog===
-A "Choose password for new keyring" dialog may appear the first time Sugar is started.
-Workaround: the dialog can be cancelled.
-===Problem: Browse activity does not work===
-Browse can be installed, but does not work, because the Sugar Platform is incomplete on this version of Ubuntu; it is missing hulahop.
-Workaround: use the Surf activity:
-* download http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/Surf-115.xo
-* install the bundle in a terminal by typing:
- sugar-install-bundle Surf-115.xo
-Workaround: use Firefox started from Terminal.
-===Problem: very few activities===
-Only the Pippy and TurtleArt activities are included.
-Workaround: you can download more Activities from [http://activities.sugarlabs.org/ activites.sugarlabs.org] using Surf.
-Workaround: you can download more activities from Ubuntu.  Click on System, then Administration, then Synaptic Package Manager.  The packages names all start with ''sugar-'' and end with ''-activity''.  For example ''sugar-terminal-activity''.
-Workaround: you can download more Activities from [http://activities.sugarlabs.org/ activites.sugarlabs.org] from outside of Sugar and install each .xo bundle individually in a terminal with:
- sugar-install-bundle activity.xo
-Activities that you install in a Sugar Terminal activity are automatically made favourites and will appear in the home view.
-Activities that you install in GNOME Terminal are not automatically made favourites, and so do not appear in the home view.  Use the List View to mark them as favourites.
-===Problem: Sugar is not full screen===
-Sugar on Ubuntu is run in a window.  For some ages of learner, a full screen is better, to avoid distractions.
-Workaround: to run Sugar full screen:
-*Go to the menu Applications -> Education -> Sugar,
-*Drag and drop the Sugar icon to the desktop,
-*Right-click on Sugar icon and choose Properties,
-*Change the command to:
-  /usr/bin/sugar-emulator -f
-*Use the desktop icon instead of the menu to start Sugar.
-===Problem: no screensaver or power management controls in Sugar===
-Sugar does not have screensaver or display power management controls compatible with Ubuntu.
-Workaround: turn off screensaver and power management, using Terminal commands:
- xset s off
- xset -dpms
