==== Memorize ====

The game memorize is about finding matching pairs. A pair can consist of any multimedia object. At the moment these are images, sounds and text but this could be extended to animations or movie snippets as well. Which pairs do match is up to the creator of the game. Memorize is actually more than just a predefined game you can play, it allows you to create new games yourself as well. [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Memorize At present the home page for Memorize is with OLPC]

== About Sugar ==

Sugar is a desktop environment that is an alternative to the ones typically used in Microsoft Windows, Apple's OS X or other GNU/Linux operating systems. It is conceived as a platform upon which children learn with Sugar [[Activities]]. The platform provides mechanisms for [[Collaboration|collaboration]], [[Activities/Portfolio|reflection]], and [[View Source|exploration]]. Sugar Activities cover a broad range of applications: browsing, drawing, composing, writing, programming, etc. See this [http://www.sugarlabs.org/index.php?template=gallery&page=gallery gallery of screenshots].

[[Tutorials/Introduction to the Sugar Interface|Introduction to the Sugar Interface]] describes multiple full-screen views: a Home view, from which Activities are launched; a Neighborhood view, where learners can connect to each other through a [[olpc:Community Jabber Servers|Jabber network]]; a Journal view, which can be used as a ''lab notebook''; and the Activity view, where Sugar Activities are run.

Sugar Activities have no Save menu: everything is saved automatically. While the interface uses very little text, additional information is revealed when the user hovers over icons.

Sugar is Free Software. It is developed in [[wikipedia:Python_%28programming_language%29|Python]] and runs on a [[wikipedia:Linux|GNU/Linux]] [[wikipedia:Kernel_%28computer_science%29|Kernel]], originally from the [http://fedoraproject.org/ Fedora Project], and now from a [[Supported distributions|variety of GNU/Linux distributions]].

For an overview of the components composing a Sugar system see the [[Sugar System Stack]].

'''Developers''': Those interested in developing Sugar software should visit our [http://developer.sugarlabs.org/ developer documentation website].

==Getting Sugar==

This section aims to be an introductory walkthrough of some of the methods of installing Sugar covered on the pages [[Sugar on a Stick/Installation]] and [[Supported systems]].

===Hardware requirements===

Before you download, you need to know if you can use the 64-bit version. If your computer says on the box or documentation that it is 64-bit, you may use the 64-bit download version of Sugar called "x86_64". If you have an Intel MacIntosh, you will need the 64-bit x86_64 version. It is fairly safe to say that PCs above Pentium 2 (commenced production end 1995) and meeting the specification below can run the "i686" version. Sticks made with the "i686" version may be more transferrable between different PCs.

Fedora developers reported these minimum requirements for the Fedora 17 distributions.
: A 400 MHz or faster processor
: At least 512 MB memory (RAM), 1 GB recommended for best performance.

However by Fedora 19 specifications have risen ( http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/19/html/Release_Notes/sect-Release_Notes-Welcome_to_Fedora_.html#hardware_overview ) to:
: A 1GHz or faster processor
: 1GB System Memory - RAM

These higher specifications are probably not critical to Sugar on a Stick made by the Fedora Live USB Creator method. However the LiveCD may not boot on a PC with RAM lower than 768 MB, you may encounter an automated check which causes the boot to abort if insufficient memory is found. [[Sugar_on_a_Stick/Boot#Low_Memory.2C_RAM.2C_Hardware | Sugar on a Stick/Boot #Troubleshooting #Low Memory, RAM, Hardware]] describes a workaround.

Lower memory machines may work, the XO-1 runs with 256 MB, but running Sugar from a USB stick in a PC, (x86), environment with 256 MB RAM will be sub-optimal.

You will need to ensure the computer you plan to use is capable of booting from CD or USB.
:On older machines, you will probably need to make a change in the BIOS (see your computer's hardware documentation). Change ''Boot Order'', so that ''Boot from CD'' or ''Boot from USB'' comes before ''Boot from Hard Drive''. Many newer computers detect the USB device as a hard drive, see http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-bios-boot-options/

For SoaS the recommended minimum size of your USB flash drive is 2 GB, although a 1 GB drive will also work.

===Sugar Live CD===

The Sugar LiveCD contains a complete, functioning Sugar distribution and operating system on CD.

The Sugar LiveCD does not alter files already installed on your computer. It returns to its previous state when the LiveCD is ejected and the computer is rebooted. The Sugar LiveCD allows you to temporarily run Sugar; this allows you to explore Sugar and test how Sugar runs on your hardware. Your settings will not be saved between boots, but you can experiment with inserting a USB stick into the computer running the LiveCD, and reading from, and saving work to, the USB stick.

Produce your LiveCD by downloading the Sugar on a Stick .iso image from [[Sugar on a Stick/Downloads]] and burning it onto a blank CD.

Many computers have built in software which will convert and copy, "burn", an .iso image to a blank CD. In Windows 8 from the File Manager, right click the .iso file and select 'Burn disc image' from the context menu, or use a free utility, like [http://www.imgburn.com/ ImgBurn].

To run Sugar, insert your LiveCD into your computer and reboot into Sugar.

===Sugar on a Stick===
====Use Fedora Live USB Creator====
The page [[Sugar on a Stick/Installation]] describes a number of methods of installing Sugar on a Stick. Here we walk through a simple [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_user_interface Graphical User Interface] (GUI) method, suitable for use with a Windows computer. (Fedora Live USB Creator also works on any Fedora system.)

Have a look at the Fedora program you will use: https://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/

Follow the instructions on [[Sugar on a Stick/Installation]] under the heading
:'''2. Use Fedora Live USB Creator'''
On completion you will shutdown your PC. Restart the PC with the newly written USB stick in a USB port. See [[Sugar on a Stick/Boot]] for extra information.

This method is covered in this screenshot tutorial: [[Tutorials/Installation/Create a SoaS v7 Live USB in Windows]] and in this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieIj4aECk88 video] of an earlier version of this process.

==== livecd-iso-to-disk ====

This is the first method described on the page [[Sugar on a Stick/Installation#with Microsoft Windows]]

This is a robust method of making a Sugar on a Stick because you are making your LiveUSB from within Sugar, with a LiveCD you have already tested, and all tools are already on the CD.

You do not have to be a paid up member of the Windows community. If you are running a Linux distribution, the ''livecd-iso-to-disk'' tool will work from the CD, on any PC which will launch the LiveCD.

You may need to spend a bit of time to become familiar with the Sugar environment using your LiveCD, see [[Getting Started/Explore]]. You need to become familiar with the Terminal Activity and how to gain administrative permissions, that is become root. The Help Activity has a chapter on the Terminal.

Futher background reading:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB#Command_line_method:_Using_the_livecd-iso-to-disk_tool_.28Fedora_only.2C_non-graphical.2C_both_non-destructive_and_destructive_methods_available.29

For expert users, from a running LiveCD, Ctrl+Alt+F2 takes you to a console which could be used to run ''livecd-iso-to-disk''.

To proceed with ''livecd-iso-to-disk'', full instructions are here, [[Sugar on a Stick/Installation#with Microsoft Windows]], in the method headed:
::'''1. Burn a CD-ROM disc, boot from it, then run the script, ''livecd-iso-to-disk'''''

====with UNetbootin====

It is possible to install Sugar on a Stick with UNetbootin.

There is no persistent storage with this installation method. Software updates, Activities, and documents are not saved between boots, it is recommended mainly for a quick demo of the Sugar Learning Environment.

See [[Sugar on a Stick/Installation Process]]

===Sugar on a Virtual Machine===

The advantage of a Virtual Machine (VM) is that, with the full VM documentation provided online, you follow that documentation to install the VM on your PC or Mac. VirtualBox<sup>®</sup> is a suitable choice of VM for a first attempt, see their website: https://www.virtualbox.org/

As ever, download the Sugar on a Stick .iso from [[Sugar on a Stick/Downloads]]

Open the VM, bind the .iso image to the VM and boot it.

All VMs have excellent documentation on how to boot an .iso and again it is covered on this page [[Sugar on a Stick/Installation#SoaS on VirtualBox]] and the method to make a Sugar on a Stick from your VM, is covered here [[Sugar on a Stick/Installation#with Microsoft Windows]] in Method 3, Launch a virtual machine with the Sugar on a Stick .iso file, then run the script, livecd-iso-to-disk

===Sugar on Fedora===

If you have, [http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora or create,] a computer running the Fedora operating system, Sugar can be installed and launched as described [[Fedora#Sugar Learning Environment |here.]]

== Please Explore Sugar ==
:'''and take it out into your community'''

There are two further pages in the Getting Started set.
: Once you are able to launch Sugar, see [[Getting Started/Explore]].
::If you can take Sugar out into your school or community, see [[Getting Started/Presentation]] for ideas on how to demonstrate it to others.

Getting Started/Explore

2017-12-11T13:06:55Z

Inkyfingers: Provide link to Help Activity online

== Explore it ==

Once you have successfully launched Sugar, you should explore the Sugar Learning Platform.

Do try running Sugar on more than one machine, so you can enjoy its collaboration features.

Visit these annotated screenshot tutorials: [[Tutorials/Introduction to the Sugar Interface]]

[[Crib_Sheet_day1 | If you find navigation unusual, try this micro tutorial.]]

There are some useful pointers here, [[How to present Sugar]].

Activity Help is available online https://help.sugarlabs.org and provides documentation for Sugar and the XO laptop.

== Here is the user guide. ==
:'''The Sugar Learners' manual'''
{{FlossmanualBlock}}

== Configuration ==
Hover the pointer or right click the Learner icon[[File:learner.svg|link=|bottom]]in the Home view, and then click on the [[olpc:Sugar_Control_Panel#Access_the_interface|'My Settings' item on the pop-up menu]].
{{Show|collapsed=collapsed| • Sugar on a Stick uses by default the ''English (USA)'' keyboard layout. Keyboard layout and other settings:|
From the My Settings control panel you will see a 'Keyboard' control tool that will allow you to change the default keyboard layout.

Explore the other configuration changes that you may make on this panel.
: It is interesting to explore the changes you can make in 'Frame'.}}
===Connecting to the Internet===

Connecting to the Internet with Sugar depends on the computer and networking available to it. See [http://en.flossmanuals.net/sugar/ch023_getting-connected/ Getting Connected] to get started.

For the XO laptop, please refer to this [[olpc:Wifi_Connectivity|OLPC page]].

For a conventional laptop running Sugar, connecting through an access point works. (Mesh support is becoming available on more machines.) Depending upon which [[olpc:Community Jabber Servers|Jabber server]] you are connected to, you'll see different collections of "neighbors" in the [http://en.flossmanuals.net/sugar/ch009_neighbourhood-view/ Neighborhood View].

== Getting Productive ==
=== Look Around ===

==== Help ====

The Activity Help is your online manual. If you are new to Sugar, working through the Activity Help is highly recommended.

==== A browser ====

The activity named Browse is supplied on XO laptops ([[olpc:Browse |here is the homepage at OLPC]]). A separate activity named Surf is supplied with Sugar on a Stick. Both are Internet browsers.

Find the Floss manual for Browse is here, http://en.flossmanuals.net/browse/index/

Browse includes [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Gnash Gnash], the GNU Flash movie player.

You could do a quick test that your sound and video are working correctly by visiting this link http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Media_of_the_day

[[Education Team/Tutorials | This link]] is an excellent introduction to Sugar. If it is not in your first language, all the better, you can concentrate more on '''watching!'''

==== The Journal ====

The Journal activity is an automated diary of everything you do.

See the The Sugar Learners' manual chapter [http://en.flossmanuals.net/sugar/ch012_the-journal/ The Journal].

==== Memorize ====

The game memorize is about finding matching pairs. A pair can consist of any multimedia object. At the moment these are images, sounds and text but this could be extended to animations or movie snippets as well. Which pairs do match is up to the creator of the game. Memorize is actually more than just a predefined game you can play, it allows you to create new games yourself as well. [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Memorize At present the home page for Memorize is with OLPC]

This silent video clip shows Memorize in action. http://olpc.dailymotion.com/video/x9dfoq_memorize_creation

==== Record ====

The Record activity provides a simple way for children to take pictures, view slide shows, and record video and audio—all content that can be shared.

{{Iframe|[http://en.flossmanuals.net/record Record Activity Manual] | http://en.flossmanuals.net/record| 940|800|1}}

==== Turtle Art ====

You might like to watch this video clip, http://olpc.dailymotion.com/video/xa71j3_to-square_creation read a few paragraphs of [[Activities/Turtle Art#Getting Started]], then jump right in!
: Note you can expect this clip to work in Sugar, but may be blocked to other browsers.
::If the clip fails to run to the end, try this one http://olpc.dailymotion.com/video/x9coz8_turtle-art-basics_creation

Later, make sure to go back to the [http://en.flossmanuals.net/turtle-art/index/ Turtle Art manual] and the home page [[Activities/Turtle Art]].

There are some nice tutorials here [[Activities/Turtle Art/Tutorials|Turtle Art tutorials]] by Tony Forster and Mokurai.

==== Abacus ====
[[Activities/Abacus]]

==== Write ====

Write is a basic text editing application featuring straightforward tools and a simple interface.
[http://en.flossmanuals.net/write_activity '''Write''']

==== Etoys ====

Etoys is ...
* an educational tool for teaching children powerful ideas in compelling ways
* a media-rich authoring environment and visual programming system
* a free software program that works on almost all personal computers

This activity is the Sugar version of Etoys, which is compatible with the versions running on Linux, Mac, and Windows.

When you open Etoys the splash on lower right is the launcher for '''tutorials and demos'''. The <big><big> '''?''' </big> </big> in top left corner for help links.

==== Pippy ====

Pippy is a simple and fun introduction to programming in Python, the dynamic programming language underlying much of the software on the laptop.

[http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Pippy The home page for Pippy at OLPC]

==== Downloads ====

Along with the applications built into Sugar there is an ever-growing array of downloadable content and built-in access to popular Web-based applications. This includes Google applications, SimCity, GCompris (a suite of award-winning educational software for children), and hundreds of other applications. There are currently thousands of software developers around the world developing content for the Sugar and OLPC .

==Goals of the Help Activity==

# Provide users with easy access to documentation and manuals
# Let people understand that Sugar is a Community Project and that we would like their help
# Invite users to join the community by asking a question
# Make visible the fact that we are real people

==User Experience==

I am hoping our design people will help here. I think it should be a
blurb about being a community project, invitation to ask a question and
a link to the manual in a reader.

: This is great stuff that belongs on the [http://git.sugarlabs.org/projects/browse/repos/mainline/blobs/master/data/index.html Browse home page] in a '''Getting help''' section. If the home page were generated (as it was in OLPC releases see ticket {{bug|574}}) then it could detect if the Help content is installed and link to it as well as online doc) You can also also add the first two items to the Sugar/8_4 introductory section at http://flossmanuals.net. -- [[User:Skierpage|Skierpage]] 21:37, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

==Specific tasks we should be sure to cover==

* providing information how to setup network --> just explaning to go to F1 and to click on the essid
* function buttons F1-4 => minimal information about views world,group,me,journal/activities,
* how to set language => short cut to setting menu.

==Asking a Question==

We don't have a email client so we'll need people to ask a question on
a web page. We'll need to explain to them that they can't use it if
they are offline.

We should ask for the email address so we can answer them.

For a first iteration questions will be directed to IAEP and community
members will be asked to reply. Replying with a link to an FAQ or
Wiki page with an answer is to be encouraged.

If we get into any sort of dialog with the question we should invite
them to subscribe to IAEP and to help the community.

Sept '09 - We are now moving toward Launchpad for questions so we could potentially direct people to that website.

==Nice to Have Features==

* Look up what version of Sugar they are running and point them to the appropriate manual for that version.
*: If the Browse activity's home page were part of Sugar then it could link to the appropriate local file:// and/or online URLs. This home page could either be static and updated with each Sugar release; or it could dynamically built from a template as it was in the OLPC OS releases, and detect if the user has local help pages. You can also detect in JavaScript if a local file:// URL exists, [http://www.skierpage.com/olpc/show_help.html here's some code]. -- [[User:Skierpage|Skierpage]] 04:53, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

==Next Steps==
* Put the content of the help activity into a form that can be managed with version control so we can make different versions for the XO and SoaS and potentially let deployments customize it. - ticket {{Bug|885}}
*: The content is currently managed on http://flossmanuals.net , which uses TWiki for editing and version history. You can go to http://en.flossmanuals.net/remix and make a Sugar 0.84 manual from the Sugar/8_4 manual items.

==Resources==
[[OLPC:release 8.2.0]] ships with the [[olpc:Help activity]]. This is a dedicated browser that shows pages describing the XO-1 laptop and its software including Sugar version 0.82.

Sweets Distribution/Supported platforms

2016-05-18T22:07:23Z

Inkyfingers: Deprecated page

{{Deprecated | see [[Sweets Distribution]]}}

== Summary ==

The list of GNU/Linux distributions where Sweets Distribution has been tested.

There are two major trends:

* support platforms that are being used for XO laptops,
* support Ubuntu, and all its derivates, releases in time.

Generally, Sweets Distribution can support any RPM or DEB based distribution. Current list is limited only to platforms that are being used for Sugar deployments and the ones that are popular on regular desktops.

For new distributions, the major requirement is human help for testing new packages. If there is need in new supported platforms, please, [[#Getting_involved|contact us]].

Some of supported GNU/Linux distributions might have derivates, distributions that are being built on its parent basis. The packages built for parent GNU/Linux distribution will work also for its derivates. Right now, the following derivates are known:

* [http://trisquel.info/ Trisquel],
* [http://www.linuxmint.com/ Linux Mint];
* [[Tuquito]].

If you think that your GNU/Linux distribution is a derivate from one of supported ones but packages don't work, [[#Getting_involved|contact us]].

== Platforms ==

This is a list of GNU/Linux distributions and machine architectures that Sweets Distribution supports. Distributions form two lists according to how long they are being supported by upstream:

* long term support distributions (LTS),
* short term support distributions (STS).

{{Note/important|Note|Supported platforms include only distributions officially released by upstream, i.e., excluding alpha and beta stages. That's due to [[Platform_Team/Open_Build_Service|Open Build Service]], that Sweets Distribution packages are being built on, architecture decisions to provide reliable and long standing support for built packages with minimal costs.}}

=== LTS ===

Long-term support.

* Fedora-14 based OLPC OS for XO laptops (i586)
* Ubuntu-10.04 and derivates (i586, x86_64)
* Ubuntu-12.04 and derivates (i586, x86_64)

The general rule for 0.94 and 0.88 repositories is using activities only
from [Sweets Distribution] packages and only for Fructose. The rest of
activities need to be handled manually, e.g., installing missed
dependencies.
In other words, 0.94 and 0.88 repositories are restricted in case of
activities (in some meaning it was just a proof of the system).
Only new system (right now in Factory repository) will cover full cycle
(activities [itself] will be handled out of native packages, from Sugar
Network).
But right now, Factory is not ready for more or less regular usage. So,
for regular usage choose 0.94 (or 0.88), avoid updating Fructose activities
from ASLO (excluding only pure python and without dependencies) and use
them only from [Sweets Distribution] packages.
I've updated the Wiki:
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Community/Distributions/Sweets_Distribution#Activities
*http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Platform_Team/Harmonic_Distribution/1.0/Todo#0.3

*Hint: If you download a non working activity from ASLO:
:Delete it in list view of Home (f3) --right click on it in listing.
'''sudo sh sweets-distribution sync'''
:This reinstalls original activities

* Review [https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/index.php?title=Special%3AListUsers&username=&group=&editsOnly=1&creationSort=1&desc=1&limit=5000 User profiles] and add them to the www-sugarlabs repo ([[User:Avni|Avni]]/ [[User:Elih|EliH]])
* <s>Review [[Special:ListUsers/bureaucrat]]</s>
* <s>Review [[Development Team/Release/Modules]] Point to github source.</s>
* Review [[Activities/Activities_needing_documentation]]
* Review [[Features]] to clearly mark which features already implemented; which features have been rejected.
* Review [[Activity Team]] (lots of obsolete references and no JS activity references)
* Review [[Getting Involved]] (make it relevant to Sugar in 2016)
* Review [[Education Team]] (make it relevant to 2016 realities)
* Review [[Special:BrokenRedirects]], [[Special:DoubleRedirects]], set up redirects for [[Special:WantedPages]] where possible
* Review [[Special:LonelyPages]], [[Special:AncientPages]], [[Special:ShortPages]], [[Special:DeadendPages]], [[Special:FewestRevisions]], and mark all as deprecated
* Review [[Special:ProtectedPages]] and confirm they should all be protected
* Categorize all uncategorized templates, [https://wiki.sugarlabs.org/index.php?title=Special:UncategorizedTemplates&limit=500&offset=0 Special:UncategorizedTemplates]
* Deduplicate files [[Special:ListDuplicatedFiles]]
* Find any archived/backup copies of the files in [[Special:WantedFiles]]
* Update the blue 'top bar' in the wiki ([[MediaWiki:Sitenotice]])
Classic tasks:
* Cleaning up older, out-of-date articles
* Updating existing article
* Organizing, categorizing, & restructuring the Wiki content
* Editing existing articles
* Developing ideas to improve the organization of the content on the Wiki
* Reverting the occasional wiki vandalism

As pages graduate to the main website, it would be great to mark them as pending redirect and then have https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ExternalRedirect to autoredirect

== Local Labs ==
* DC suggests consolidating http://pe.sugarlabs.org/ir/ back into the central wiki as a subpage section; and graduating its core content to http://www.sugarlabs.org/es

* Walter will contact the [[Sugar Labs DC]] teacher to see if it is still active

== SL BAR==

#3034 Update SL bar
https://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/3034

Accomplish by editing http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/MediaWiki:Sitenotice

#3047 Adopt SL bar on translate.sugarlabs.org
https://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/3047

Applying http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/MediaWiki:Sitenotice to the front page of http://translate.sugarlabs.org/ can be accomplished, if it can be made simple HTML.

== Sugar Creation Kit ==

[[Sugar_Creation_Kit]] is a long page with some great content and some stale content, owned by [[User:Satellit]] who will clean it up in the coming weeks/months

== Activity Team==

[[Activity_Team]] role needs some love, with the migration off of a centralized git-based repository [https://git.sugarlabs.org/ Gitorious] to diverse GitHub repos has to some extent decentralized a developer and localizer community that previously had a common point of contact.

* Who adopts Activities stranded in Gitorious?
* How to provide the best linkage for Activity feedback from less-sophisticated users back to developers/maintainers?
* [[Translation_Team]] needs direct channels and responsive maintainers to advance i18n and L10n.
== Activity pages==

It would be highly desirable to develop a template for an activity page. It should have a box/table that displays all of the information contained (or that should be contained) in the activity.info file.

Can we get wiki pages created for these activities?

* [[Activities/Annotate]]
* [[Activities/CardSort]]
* [[Activities/Convert]]
* [[Activities/Deducto]]
* [[Activities/DotsAndBoxes]]
* [[Activities/FavoriteFonts]]
* [[Activities/FollowMe Butia]] - http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4368
* [[Activities/SimpleGraph]] merge with [[Activities/Chart]] (identical?)
* [[Activities/TurtleArtExtras]]
* [[Activities/TurtleBlocksJS]]

Can we identify the activities referenced in these wiki pages with a package in ASLO?

* [[Activities/Buscaterrones]] ??
* [[Activities/Butia]]
* [[Activities/Count My Steps]]
* [[Activities/Elect]]
* [[Activities/Expresar]]
* [[Activities/Fantasy]]
* [[Activities/Hello Mesh]]
* [[Activities/Inform7]]
* [[Activities/PyCut]] - https://github.com/jflory7/PyCut
* [[Activities/Smile]] - http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4210
* [[Activities/SoaS Loader]] - is not in ASLO, https://github.com/inkyfingers/SoaS_Loader

* [[Activities/Takbo]]
* [[Activities/Thumbs View in Journal]]
* [[Activities/TransBot]] - https://git.fedorahosted.org/git/transbot.git
* [[Activities/VLC]] - No, method is rpm --import

== Translation Team==

Chris Leonard [[User:Cjl]] would like to respectfully request editorial control over the Translation Team [[Translation_Team]] branch structure. I have some major work to do and it is going to be easiest to use wiki markup in the editing process. This is a very small portion of over all wiki content.

Getting Started/Explore

2016-05-11T08:24:11Z

Inkyfingers: /* Help */ correction - update

== Explore it ==

Once you have successfully launched Sugar, you should explore the Sugar Learning Platform.

Do try running Sugar on more than one machine, so you can enjoy its collaboration features.

Visit these annotated screenshot tutorials: [[Tutorials/Introduction to the Sugar Interface]]

[[Crib_Sheet_day1 | If you find navigation unusual, try this micro tutorial.]]

There are some useful pointers here, [[How to present Sugar]].

== Here is the user guide. ==
:'''The Sugar Learners' manual'''
{{FlossmanualBlock}}

== Configuration ==
Hover the pointer or right click the Learner icon[[File:learner.svg|link=|bottom]]in the Home view, and then click on the [[olpc:Sugar_Control_Panel#Access_the_interface|'My Settings' item on the pop-up menu]].
{{Show|collapsed=collapsed| • Sugar on a Stick uses by default the ''English (USA)'' keyboard layout. Keyboard layout and other settings:|
From the My Settings control panel you will see a 'Keyboard' control tool that will allow you to change the default keyboard layout.

Explore the other configuration changes that you may make on this panel.
: It is interesting to explore the changes you can make in 'Frame'.}}
===Connecting to the Internet===

Connecting to the Internet with Sugar depends on the computer and networking available to it. See [http://en.flossmanuals.net/sugar/ch023_getting-connected/ Getting Connected] to get started.

For the XO laptop, please refer to this [[olpc:Wifi_Connectivity|OLPC page]].

For a conventional laptop running Sugar, connecting through an access point works. (Mesh support is becoming available on more machines.) Depending upon which [[olpc:Community Jabber Servers|Jabber server]] you are connected to, you'll see different collections of "neighbors" in the [http://en.flossmanuals.net/sugar/ch009_neighbourhood-view/ Neighborhood View].

The Activity Help is your online manual. If you are new to Sugar, working through the Activity Help is highly recommended.

==== A browser ====

The activity named Browse is supplied on XO laptops ([[olpc:Browse |here is the homepage at OLPC]]). A separate activity named Surf is supplied with Sugar on a Stick. Both are Internet browsers.

Find the Floss manual for Browse is here, http://en.flossmanuals.net/browse/index/

Browse includes [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Gnash Gnash], the GNU Flash movie player.

You could do a quick test that your sound and video are working correctly by visiting this link http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Media_of_the_day

[[Education Team/Tutorials | This link]] is an excellent introduction to Sugar. If it is not in your first language, all the better, you can concentrate more on '''watching!'''

==== The Journal ====

The Journal activity is an automated diary of everything you do.

See the The Sugar Learners' manual chapter [http://en.flossmanuals.net/sugar/ch012_the-journal/ The Journal].

==== Memorize ====

The game memorize is about finding matching pairs. A pair can consist of any multimedia object. At the moment these are images, sounds and text but this could be extended to animations or movie snippets as well. Which pairs do match is up to the creator of the game. Memorize is actually more than just a predefined game you can play, it allows you to create new games yourself as well. [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Memorize At present the home page for Memorize is with OLPC]

This silent video clip shows Memorize in action. http://olpc.dailymotion.com/video/x9dfoq_memorize_creation

==== Record ====

The Record activity provides a simple way for children to take pictures, view slide shows, and record video and audio—all content that can be shared.

{{Iframe|[http://en.flossmanuals.net/record Record Activity Manual] | http://en.flossmanuals.net/record| 940|800|1}}

==== Turtle Art ====

You might like to watch this video clip, http://olpc.dailymotion.com/video/xa71j3_to-square_creation read a few paragraphs of [[Activities/Turtle Art#Getting Started]], then jump right in!
: Note you can expect this clip to work in Sugar, but may be blocked to other browsers.
::If the clip fails to run to the end, try this one http://olpc.dailymotion.com/video/x9coz8_turtle-art-basics_creation

Later, make sure to go back to the [http://en.flossmanuals.net/turtle-art/index/ Turtle Art manual] and the home page [[Activities/Turtle Art]].

There are some nice tutorials here [[Activities/Turtle Art/Tutorials|Turtle Art tutorials]] by Tony Forster and Mokurai.

==== Abacus ====
[[Activities/Abacus]]

==== Write ====

Write is a basic text editing application featuring straightforward tools and a simple interface.
[http://en.flossmanuals.net/write_activity '''Write''']

==== Etoys ====

Etoys is ...
* an educational tool for teaching children powerful ideas in compelling ways
* a media-rich authoring environment and visual programming system
* a free software program that works on almost all personal computers

This activity is the Sugar version of Etoys, which is compatible with the versions running on Linux, Mac, and Windows.

When you open Etoys the splash on lower right is the launcher for '''tutorials and demos'''. The <big><big> '''?''' </big> </big> in top left corner for help links.

More at the homepage: http://squeakland.org/

==== Pippy ====

Pippy is a simple and fun introduction to programming in Python, the dynamic programming language underlying much of the software on the laptop.

[http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Pippy The home page for Pippy at OLPC]

==== Downloads ====

Along with the applications built into Sugar there is an ever-growing array of downloadable content and built-in access to popular Web-based applications. This includes Google applications, SimCity, GCompris (a suite of award-winning educational software for children), and hundreds of other applications. There are currently thousands of software developers around the world developing content for the Sugar and OLPC .

To download and install a new activity:
# start the Activity Browse or Surf,
# go to http://activities.sugarlabs.org webpage, (or click the Activities link, third from left on the colored navigation bar along the top of this page.)
# search for a new activity,
# say you chose Listen and Spell 2
# click on the '''Download Now''' button under the title to download Listen and Spell 2
# Wait for the download to complete
# open the Journal activity
# start the downloaded activity from the Journal entry; the new activity will install and launch.

This OLPC page has some guidance on [[olpc:Download|downloading from the Internet]].

==== TamTam ====
'''TamTamMini''' for the very young

'''TamTamJam''' is the music performance activity. Sounds are played by striking individual keys on the keyboard

'''TamTamEdit''' a colorful and intuitive graphical interface to create, modify and organise notes on five virtual “tracks”

'''SynthLab''' is an advanced application for those who are ready to venture into sophisticated sound design.

[http://wiki.laptop.org/go/TamTam Here is the homepage at OLPC]

==== Read an eBook ====

Read your favorite book. [[Activities/Read Etexts]]

==== Calculate ====

A simple calculator.

=== More to explore ===
Have you noticed? When you are thinking '''''how do I work this?''''' the first place to look is the homepage of the activity. They are listed here [[:Category:Activities]]. If you do not find what you need, try the developer pages - [[Activities]] - this is the same link as "Activity pages" in the navigation sidebar.

=== Activity Manuals and Tutorials ===

You will find the range of Floss Activity manuals [http://en.flossmanuals.net/ here], look under OLPC / Sugar

==== Manuals in .pdf ====
[http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/floss_manuals/Record_06Sep08.pdf This is a link to a .pdf manual for the Activity Record]. When you click on the link you have the opportunity to download the file. Click the download link and the file will start to download. When the download is complete the file will be in your Journal. Provided you have the Activity Read successfully installed, the .pdf file will open when you click on it.
:'''You should note that the Activity Read, is known not to work, at present, on Sugar On a Stick.'''
:'''Trisquel sugar 5.0 can read .pdf files as a Booted CD or Installed from the CD to a 4GB USB'''
::http://devel.trisquel.info/sugar/toast/iso/trisquel-sugar_5.0_i686-20111204.iso

Wiki Team/Wiki Gardening Weekend 2016

2016-04-25T20:42:12Z

Inkyfingers: SoaS Loader - not in ASLO

* Review [[Wiki_Team/Roadmap]]
* Review [[Special:ListUsers/bureaucrat]]
* Review [[Activities/Activities_needing_documentation]]
* Review [[Activity Team]] (lots of obsolete references and no JS activity references)
* Review [[Getting Involved]] (make it relevant to Sugar in 2016)
* Review [[Education Team]] (make it relevant to 2016 realities)

== SL BAR==

#3034 Update SL bar
https://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/3034

#3047 Adopt SL bar on translate.sugarlabs.org
https://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/3047

== Activity Team==

[[Activity_Team]] role needs some love, with the migration off of a centralized git-based repository [https://git.sugarlabs.org/ Gitorious] to diverse GitHub repos has to some extent decentralized a developer and localizer community that previously had a common point of contact.

* Who adopts Activities stranded in Gitorious?
* How to provide the best linkage for Activity feedback from less-sophisticated users back to developers/maintainers?
* [[Translation_Team]] needs direct channels and responsive maintainers to advance i18n and L10n.

== Activity pages==

It would be highly desirable to develop a template for an activi9ty page. It should have a box/table that displays all of the information contained (or that should be contained) in the activity.info file.

Can we get wiki pages created for these actvities?

* [[Activities/Annotate]]
* [[Activities/CardSort]]
* [[Activities/Convert]]
* [[Activities/Deducto]]
* [[Activities/DotsAndBoxes]]
* [[Activities/FavoriteFonts]]
* [[Activities/FollowMeButia]]

## Type <code>sudo dd if=<<i>Sugar on a Stick image file</i>>.img.dmg of=<<i>device name</i>> bs=1m</code>. <code>sudo</code> will ask for your password, and then <code>dd</code> will start writing the disk file.
## When <code>dd</code> finishes writing the disk file, type <code>sudo diskutil eject <<i>device name</i>></code>.
# '''Boot''': Insert the USB stick into a USB port on your computer, then reboot and press and hold the Option key while rebooting. You should see a list of all the EFI-recognizable USB drives that can be bootstrapped. If Sugar on a Stick is not one such drive, it cannot be bootstrapped: you need rEFInd (a fork of rEFIt).<br>

Testing/Reports/Sugar on a Stick Persistence

2015-08-06T07:28:40Z

Inkyfingers: Link to tutorial presentation of this method, http://soas-loader.readthedocs.org/

{{Message|Presenting this method to a wider audience is still a work in progress. The working title is [[Activities/SoaS_Loader |SoaS Loader]]. You will find a tutorial presentation of this method here http://soas-loader.readthedocs.org/.

Limitations may be discussed on the [[Talk:Testing/Reports/Sugar on a Stick Persistence | talk]] page.}}

The starting point is

* a PC, laptop, or netbook
* a clean 2GB or 4GB USB stick to use as the target device.
* a Sugar [[LiveOS image]] to use as the "host" media.

It does not really matter what operating system you are using. To make your persistent Sugar on a Stick you will [[Sugar on a Stick/Boot|boot]] your computer with a Sugar LiveOS "host" media, which might be:

* A CD-ROM made from the Sugar.iso available from [[Sugar on a Stick/Downloads]]
:The CD-ROM could be made from the default CD writing software of your PC.
* A UNetbootin USB as described in [[Sugar on a Stick/Installation Process]]
* A USB stick written with the Linux command {{Code|dd}} from the Sugar.iso available from [[Sugar on a Stick/Downloads]],
sudo dd if=Fedora-Live-SoaS''version''.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=8M
* A USB stick written with Nautilus (Files).
* or any other Sugar on a Stick.

== Method ==

Boot your computer with the chosen LiveOS media. Once Sugar is running,

'''Either''' enter a console with Ctrl+Alt+F2,

'''or''' open the Terminal Activity, [[File:Activity-terminal.png|bottom|link=http://en.flossmanuals.net/terminal]], from the <span class=plainlinks>[http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/images/9/9b/Home_ListView_button.png Home list View]</span>.

Plug a clean 2GB memory stick, the target device, into the PC.

Run the command,
df -Th
to establish the device location.
{{Show|extra detail.
|<pre>
First, running the command `df -Th` before plugging in the target stick, expect output like this:

Then, running the command `df -Th` after the target stick is inserted, the command produces an extra line at the bottom:

The new line reads:
/dev/sdb1 vfat 1.8G 2.0K 1.8G 1% /run/media/liveuser/SanDisk
and the first element reports that the target device is represented as /dev/sdb1.
Write down your target in the format, /dev/sd?1, where ? is likely to be b, c, d or e.
</pre>}}

Unmount the target USB stick - edit to reflect your target:

umount /dev/sd?1

For a nominal 2GB stick, enter this command - edit to reflect your target:

su -c "livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 500 --home-size-mb 800 --unencrypted-home /run/initramfs/livedev /dev/sd?1"

Writing the stick will take some time, and when successful will finish by reporting

"Target device is now set up with a Live image!"

Your persistent Sugar on a Stick is ready to run.

Shut down your "host" Sugar LiveOS media system [[Sugar on a Stick/Boot|and boot the new.]]

For a nominal 4GB stick use this command,

su -c "livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 1000 --home-size-mb 1600 --unencrypted-home /run/initramfs/livedev /dev/sd?1"

== Maintenance ==

The persistent overlay status may be queried by issuing this command on the live system:
dmsetup status live-rw
The returned value may look like this:
live-rw: 0 8388608 snapshot 42296/204800 176
where the fraction after 'snapshot' for the logical volume is that of 512-byte sectors consumed in the overlay.

A tutorial with instructions to write Sugar to a USB stick.

== Owner ==

* Name: [[User:inkyfingers| Iain Brown Douglas]]
* Email: iain at browndouglas dot plus dot com

== Current status ==

Working demonstration built.

https://github.com/inkyfingers/SoaS_Loader

With thanks to [https://readthedocs.org/ Read the Docs] SoaS Loader is available to preview on http://soas-loader.readthedocs.org

== Detailed Description ==

The method involves `livecd-iso-to-disk` as this [[Testing/Reports/Sugar_on_a_Stick_Persistence|page]].

Construction is copied from Help Activity, which uses Sphinx, http://sphinx-doc.org/.

A {{code|liveinst}} method is under consideration.

Pro, makes nice 4 or 8 GB sticks.

Con, instructions are more difficult to write for novices.
: '''If''' the tutorial is to be available to all users, they should not easily be able to delete the host OS as could happen with anaconda.
: Fairly detailed instructions are necessary to explain how to set up a ''satisfactory for children'' boot record.

=== Future versions ===

'''Might''' include a script which would probe the capacity of an inserted USB stick,and deliver the livecd-iso-to-disk command on confirmation by the user.

'''Might''' include liveinst instructions under the heading `How to install Sugar on an expired Windows XP machine`.

== Benefit to Sugar ==

Allow new users to adopt Sugar more easily.

Activities/Help/Contribute

2015-02-11T16:38:17Z

Inkyfingers:

This page aims to inform anyone interested in contributing to Sugar documentation.

This page acts as a "Landing page" for those who have read "How to edit Help and contribute" in XO Help, and to encourage others to test it.

Any updates to the technical contents of that page will be announced here. Please see [[#Known issues]].

== History ==

Based on IAEP community edits made in 2012, http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Help_Activity_refresh, a new Help 16 Activity was created.

Previous recent history is here: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Help_Activity_refresh/0.98

== Localization, other tools ==

Primary reference http://translate.sugarlabs.org/.

== Contact ==

Anybody interested in contributing can send a mail to sugar-devel mailing list http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel or to gonzalo at laptop dot org

Users actively involved, who are prepared to review the work of contributors:

[[User:Inkyfingers]]

Please add you name ...

== TODO ==

This is a list of topics we need improve in the help content (--[[User:Godiard|Godiard]] ([[User talk:Godiard|talk]]) 11:24, 14 January 2014 (EST) Jan 14, 2014)

* Browse activity: need add a section about collaboration, explaining how works (sharing favorite pages)
* Collaboration page: need show how invite to a friend works.

== XO Help Contents ==

=== Mallard ===

How does this effort support Mallard? Please see also [[Documentation_Team/Notes/1.0]]

Pages written in reStructuredText can generally be read in Yelp, with a few errors.

=== Wish list for new documentation ===

Compare with the old content, and check if something is missing http://dev.laptop.org/~gonzalo/old_help/XO_Introduction.html

Keyboard shortcuts - not yet well covered.

Please add any item you see missing.

Please add your ideas

This version of Help allows us to have an open mind about how Help documentation evolves, depending on the content provided by contributors.

What ideas can be added to improve XO Help?

=== Sugar features page ===

An experimental page was produced quickly before Help 17 was published.

The current content is View source and Say selected text. This section is hoped to expand.

Please add undocumented features.

=== New to Sugar pages===

Entry level contributions are particularly welcome.

There is the possibility of modifying some pages, so that towards the top of page one finds "entry level" links to compact topics like :

* navigation
* function keys
* frame
* add features and tools, which are needed for competent use of Sugar.

Please add your ideas

== Collaboration ==

It would be good to find a model for collaboration. It might be possible within the Sugarlabs system to upload a {{Code|help_page.rst}} for multiple editors.

Any suggestions welcome for a repository for "Documentation - work in progress".

The paragraph [[Documentation Team/Notes/1.0#Activity documentation template]] demonstrates a model for collaboration. Here the wiki page for Portfolio, [[Activities/Portfolio]], was edited into the preferred format, and then lifted straight into "the documentation project".

Where wiki pages are suitable for transfer to Help they could be highlighted here.

== How to get freshest Help sources ==

To see work in progress since the previous XO Help, this command:
git clone https://github.com/godiard/help-activity.git
you will get the Help Activity _with_ the sources included.

You can install it in your development environment doing:

cd mainline
./setup.py dev
(if you have the activity already installed, uninstall it first)

Now you can modify any .rst file in source directory or the images in the images directory,
and to create the html files, you only need do:

make html

* In Sugar
You don’t need to restart the activity to see the changes, can do click
with the secondary button, and select reload.

* In any other Linux environment
The output of make html is in /mainline/html, and is opened by opening
index.html in a browser, it is easy to see the changes as you work.

== Further reading ==

Quick reStructuredText, http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/rst/quickref.html, is a cheat-sheet for reStructuredText.

"reStructuredText Directives" http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/directives.html by David Goodger, March 2013.

Sphinx reStructuredText Primer, http://sphinx-doc.org/rest.html, a brief introduction to reStructuredText concepts and syntax.

Sphinx home page, http://sphinx-doc.org/index.html.

Another tutorial, http://matplotlib.org/sampledoc/.

== Known issues ==

=== Not fully documented ===

a. If work you have done seems to have corrupted Help,

b. or in the event you wish to make changes to the index, over and above, adding a new line to the bottom a table of contents as described in the tutorials,

you may delete all the output files, that is, {{Code|~/mainline/html/}} and {{Code|~/mainline/doctrees/}}. They will be regenerated by {{Code|make html}}.

=== Reconfigure Help to show View source ===

In Sugar as we already have a View source button in the Frame.

If you are working with the Help software in a browser, you can add a ''View source'' button, which will appear in the navigation panel. You need to alter three lines in {{Code|~/mainline/source/conf.py}}. Each of the entries listed below comprise a comment line, starting with a "#" followed by the code line. Find each pair of lines in {{Code|conf.py}} and change the value in the code line like this.

# Custom sidebar templates, maps document names to template names. ## Edit: Sugar default is without 'sourcelink.html'
html_sidebars = {'**':['localtoc.html', 'sourcelink.html']}

# If true, links to the reST sources are added to the pages. ##Edit: Sugar default is False
html_show_sourcelink = True

# Do not copy .rst files ##Edit: Sugar default is False
html_copy_source = True

A disadvantage of doing this is that extra folders are created, which might be confusing at first, and the duplication of files can make it difficult to correct certain mistakes. The command ``make html`` also takes longer to run. It is recommend not to make these changes before you are confident navigating the source and HTML folders.

===Graphical interface method===

: GNOME Software Center, is the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/AppInstaller new] default software installer for Fedora 20. Searching for Sugar with [https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Software Software] ({{Code|gnome-software}}) fails to find it. [https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/34820/where-is-the-add-remove-software-application-gone-in-fedora-20/ This link to ask.fedoraproject.org] explains that Software only targets "Applications".

: Yum Extender is the default graphical software installer tool in certain Fedora Desktop Environments, for instance XFCE, and is found in ''Applications Menu -> Administration -> Yum Extender''.

: If not installed, use the default software installer tool to search for and install ''yumex''. See also [http://www.yumex.dk/p/documnetation.htm YumEx documentation].

: Open Yum Extender. ''Package Filters'' are found on the line below the main search bar. Use the Package Filter buttons to select "Groups".

: The navigation pane on the left, now lists all Package Groups in alphabetical order.
: Near the foot of the list, press the "+" to open "Sugar Desktop Environment".

: This will reveal two "Groups". Place a check in the box for "Sugar Desktop Environment". Review the selection in the right pane.
: At the foot of the Yum Extender window, "Install All" will mark all packages for installation.

: Now press "Apply" to have all necessary packages and dependencies installed, together with a useful selection of Activities.

: In order to be able to use ''Sugar-runner'', enter sugar-runner in the search field, press "Enter", mark it for installation and press "Apply".

: Later (if desired) you can return to Yum Extender and install further packages within "Additional Sugar Activities".

==Launching Sugar==

With {{Code|sugar-desktop}} and {{Code|sugar-runner}} installed you have two simple ways of running Sugar.

: 1. The ''Sugar Runner'' will be available (no restart required) from the ''Applications Menu -> Education -> Sugar''.
::* Sugar will run in a [[wikipedia:Xephyr|Xephyr]] window, entitled 'Sugar Runner', within your current desktop environment. You will have full access to Sugar features, and may even run multiple instances. Networking bugs may currently prevent collaboration with others in the jabber.sugarlabs.org server Neighborhood. Press key '''F1''' to see the Sugar Neighborhood view.
{{Note/note|Note:|By default, ''sugar-runner'' runs full screen.
* "Logout" of Sugar (from the Home screen's central avatar hover palette), to return to the desktop environment you were previously using.
* See also [[The Undiscoverable#sugar-emulator, sugar-runner, and sweets-sugar-emulator|emulator screen size adjustment]] for alternative emulator sizing.}}

[[File:F20-Beta-TC2_gdm.png|right|250px]]
: 2. You may also boot directly to the Sugar Desktop Environment (also known as a Sugar session).
::* On reboot, at the login screen, a "Sugar" entry will now be present in the login screen, under a "settings icon" or under "Session Type".
::*: The "Sugar" entry in the login screen may not be very obvious at first, and the look will depend on the login manager on your system. This image shows the "Sugar" entry being selected in Fedora 20 GNOME3. (Click the image to see an enlarged version.)
::* Select "Sugar" within the login prompt, enter your password, and '''Enter''', and the computer will boot into the Sugar Desktop Environment.

==Fedora Sugar on a Stick Spin==

Fedora spins are alternative versions of Fedora, tailored for various types of users. The Fedora Sugar on a Stick Spin, http://spins.fedoraproject.org/soas/, is the variant of Fedora, with [[Sugar on a Stick]] components included.

While the Spin is optimized for installation on a USB thumbdrive ("stick"), it can be installed to a hard drive by following the Fedora installation process documented [http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/20/html/Installation_Guide/ here]. The installer is started from the Sugar Terminal Activity, with the command {{Code|liveinst}}, run as root. There is a tutorial [[Tutorials/Installation/Install with liveinst|here]].

Testing/Reports/Sugar on a Stick Persistence

2014-06-14T09:29:54Z

Inkyfingers: /* Method */ clarify

{{Message|This method is taken from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_and_use_Live_USB#Creating_a_USB_stick_from_a_running_live_environment, and is different from the contents of other Sugar on a Stick pages.

This method has worked without reported errors, is flexible, and requires minimal documentation. Limitations may be discussed on the [[Talk:Testing/Reports/Sugar on a Stick Persistence | talk]] page.}}

The starting point is

* a PC, laptop, or netbook
* a clean 2GB or 4GB USB stick to use as the target device.
* a Sugar [[LiveOS image]] to use as the "host" media.

It does not really matter what operating system you are using. To make your persistent Sugar on a Stick you will [[Sugar on a Stick/Boot|boot]] your computer with a Sugar LiveOS "host" media, which might be:

* A CD-ROM made from the Sugar.iso available from [[Sugar on a Stick/Downloads]]
:The CD-ROM could be made from the default CD writing software of your PC.
* A UNetbootin USB as described in [[Sugar on a Stick/Installation Process]]
* A USB stick written with the Linux command {{Code|dd}} from the Sugar.iso available from [[Sugar on a Stick/Downloads]],
sudo dd if=Fedora-Live-SoaS''version''.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=8M
* A USB stick written with Nautilus (Files).
* or any other Sugar on a Stick.

== Method ==

Boot your computer with the chosen LiveOS media. Once Sugar is running,

'''Either''' enter a console with Ctrl+Alt+F2,

'''or''' open the Terminal Activity, [[File:Activity-terminal.png|bottom|link=http://en.flossmanuals.net/terminal]], from the <span class=plainlinks>[http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/images/9/9b/Home_ListView_button.png Home list View]</span>.

Plug a clean 2GB memory stick, the target device, into the PC.

Run the command,
df -Th
to establish the device location.
{{Show|extra detail.
|<pre>
First, running the command `df -Th` before plugging in the target stick, expect output like this:

[root@localhost ~]# df -Th
Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/live-rw ext4 2.9G 2.1G 773M 74% /
devtmpfs devtmpfs 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /dev
tmpfs tmpfs 2.0G 72K 2.0G 1% /dev/shm
tmpfs tmpfs 2.0G 632K 2.0G 1% /run
tmpfs tmpfs 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/sr0 iso9660 670M 670M 0 100% /run/initramfs/live
tmpfs tmpfs 2.0G 32K 2.0G 1% /tmp
varcacheyum tmpfs 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /var/cache/yum
vartmp tmpfs 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /var/tmp

Then, running the command `df -Th` after the target stick is inserted, the command produces an extra line at the bottom:

[root@localhost ~]# df -Th
Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/live-rw ext4 2.9G 2.1G 773M 74% /
devtmpfs devtmpfs 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /dev
tmpfs tmpfs 2.0G 72K 2.0G 1% /dev/shm
tmpfs tmpfs 2.0G 632K 2.0G 1% /run
tmpfs tmpfs 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/sr0 iso9660 670M 670M 0 100% /run/initramfs/live
tmpfs tmpfs 2.0G 32K 2.0G 1% /tmp
varcacheyum tmpfs 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /var/cache/yum
vartmp tmpfs 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /var/tmp
/dev/sdb1 vfat 1.8G 2.0K 1.8G 1% /run/media/liveuser/SanDisk

The new line reads:
/dev/sdb1 vfat 1.8G 2.0K 1.8G 1% /run/media/liveuser/SanDisk
and the first element reports that the target device is represented as /dev/sdb1.
Write down your target in the format, /dev/sd?1, where ? is likely to be b, c, d or e.
</pre>}}

Unmount the target USB stick - edit to reflect your target:

umount /dev/sd?1

For a nominal 2GB stick, enter this command - edit to reflect your target:

su -c "livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 500 --home-size-mb 800 --unencrypted-home /run/initramfs/livedev /dev/sd?1"

Writing the stick will take some time, and when successful will finish by reporting

"Target device is now set up with a Live image!"

Your persistent Sugar on a Stick is ready to run.

Shut down your "host" Sugar LiveOS media system [[Sugar on a Stick/Boot|and boot the new.]]

For a nominal 4GB stick use this command,

su -c "livecd-iso-to-disk --reset-mbr --overlay-size-mb 1000 --home-size-mb 1600 --unencrypted-home /run/initramfs/livedev /dev/sd?1"

== Maintenance ==

The persistent overlay status may be queried by issuing this command on the live system:
dmsetup status live-rw
The returned value may look like this:
live-rw: 0 8388608 snapshot 42296/204800 176
where the fraction after 'snapshot' for the logical volume is that of 512-byte sectors consumed in the overlay.

<span class="weblink">[[File:Debian.jpg|link=https://wiki.debian.org/Sugar]]</span>

Current stable [https://www.debian.org/releases/wheezy/ Wheezy Release Information]

The Debian wiki has a specific page for Sugar at [https://wiki.debian.org/Sugar '''Debian install Sugar''']

The stable Debian 7.0 "Wheezy" includes parts of 0.96: most of Glucose, but missing most of Fructose.

Sucrose packages are usually updated in the unstable repository. These packages migrate to the testing repository after a while. You can see the current package versions [http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=sugar&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all here].

Those interested in developing Sugar software should visit our [http://developer.sugarlabs.org/ developer documentation website].

For virtulalization and emulation see also [[Emulator image files]].

This was my workaround to this problem:

1. /etc/apt/sources.list

deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
deb-src ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free

2. update the package database

sudo apt-get update

3. download the source code

cd /tmp
mkdir pygobject
apt-get source python-gi

4. install dependecies

sudo apt-get build-dep python-gi
sudo apt-get install python-gobject-2-dbg

5. compile python-gi

cd pygobject-3.2.0
wget -c http://mkaufmann.com.ar/~humitos/olpc/pygi-d37680bb9390426f7f58ea3d352c3e5e2106e978_modified.patch
git apply pygi-d37680bb9390426f7f58ea3d352c3e5e2106e978_modified.patch
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b

6. install compiled packages

sudo dpkg -i ../*.deb

Now, when I run "./sugar-jhbuild run sugar-emulator" I can see the
icons and the toolbar properly.
== Testing ==
Where Debian is installed via the Debian installer or virtual machine, Sugar has been reported to run nicely.
:Sugar 0.88.0 works nicely in Debian squeeze.
Low footprint versions (eg no Gnome Display Manager) with SLiM and Openbox only, are reported [[User:Inkyfingers/Debian | in this link]] to cause a problem.
