Line 53: − + − − ===Problem: collaboration is broken=== − − Activity collaboration over a local area network does not work. There is no workaround. − − ===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. However, Firefox is not integrated with Sugar, and does not access the journal or install activity bundles. − − ===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
