Deejoe: updating links for Fedora source packages

<noinclude>[[Category:Supported systems]]</noinclude>
[[File:Fedora.jpg]]

''Fedora and the Infinity design logo are trademarks of Red Hat, Inc.''

Fedora (formerly Fedora Core) is an operating system based on the Linux kernel, developed by the community-supported Fedora Project and sponsored by Red Hat. -- [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fedora_(operating_system) wikipedia.org]

In relation to Sugar, Fedora is a downstream distribution project that can be used to run Sugar.

== Using Sugar as a Desktop Environment ==

Install Fedora. Then, in a Terminal, type:

sudo dnf groupinstall sugar-desktop
sudo dnf install python2-decorator webkitgtk3


Then restart your computer.
At the ''Sign in'' select the ''Sugar'' desktop.

[[File:Fedora-25-gdm-desktop-choice.png|300px|Fedora 25 GDM Desktop Choice with Sugar]]


== Using Sugar with another Desktop Environment ==

Select the ''GNOME on Xorg'' or ''GNOME Classic'' desktop, then in a Terminal, type:

sudo dnf groupinstall sugar-desktop
sudo dnf install sugar-runner python2-decorator webkitgtk3
sugar-runner

Sugar will start. ''Logout'' from Sugar to return to the desktop environment you were previously using.

Sugar is also available from ''Activities'' search in GNOME.

{{Note/note|Note:|By default, ''sugar-runner'' runs full screen. To launch in a smaller window, edit the launcher to insert a default screen resolution using the command line below:}}
sudo sed -i "s/$Exec=sugar-runner$.*/\1 --resolution 1024x768/" /usr/share/applications/sugar-runner.desktop

== Using Sugar from a USB drive - Sugar on a Stick ==

Sugar on a Stick (SoaS) is a Fedora spin, made from Fedora and Sugar together.

SoaS starts from a USB drive ("stick"), and can be installed with the [http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/20/html/Installation_Guide/ Fedora installation process]. Or, the Fedora installer may be started from the Sugar Terminal activity, with the command {{Code|sudo liveinst}}, or using the [[Tutorials/Installation/Install with liveinst|tutorial]].

* See '''[[File:Soas-avocado.svg|200px|bottom|link=Sugar on a Stick]]'''.

== Fedora Versions ==

Hi all,
The question about how to get videos from Khan Academy in any language was asked several times on this list.
We planned this year to deploy offline Khan Academy videos in French to our Nosy Komba deployment. So I've worked with Bibliotheque Sans Frontiere to get French videos.
They suggested me to use KA Lite [1], a software dedicated to install a offline Khan Academy server.
BTW it's slightly intrusive and need some installation. So I've write a script to explore and extract only videos URL. You could find it here [2].
The result of the script could be seen here [3] as a tree or here [4] as a single list.
Hope it could help.

If you are using Flash you need to also install nspluginwrapper, and use it to "wrap" the plugin so WebKit can see it.
Use "yum -y install nspluginwrapper" to install the package.
The OLPC OS build scripts for custom builds use the following command (run as root or via sudo) to finish the wrapping process. I have not verified it yet on a XO-1.5:
/usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/npconfig -n -p nswrapper_32_32 -d /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins-wrapped -i /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

====[[Tutorials/Installation/Install & use liveusb-creator|Installing and using liveusb-creator in sugar]]====
:: An easy method for Fedora and Windows, however this method does not generate a separate home.img filesystem to conserve the exhaustible OS overlay (see [[LiveOS image]]), nor does it copy the livecd-iso-to-disk installation script to the new device to permit generation of a new Live USB device from the first.
: '''Note if graphical liveusb-creator program will not make a bootable USB stick from an .iso file:'''
:: (This can happen if the stick is formatted to fat16 on another PC with a different Operating System.)
: Use terminal command :
'''liveusb-creator --reset-mbr'''
: '''USB stick must be formatted: fat16/32; Labeled=LIVE; boot flag set.'''
:: (The LIVE label is only required when the device is to be used for a subsequent uncompressed installation to a hard disk.)

Deejoe: sync it

Should probably just include the Fractionauts/status subpage under the status section of the Fractionauts page, but update it, so that the Fractionauts-specific page and the Math4Team/Projects listings are in sync.

I'm writing this out instead of just doing it to instantiate an exemplary discussion around the point :-)
