Ubuntu 9.04 and 8.10 [[Ubuntu#Using_sugar_PPAs]].
  −
  −
For a LiveCD/LiveUSB, check out the instructions [http://dev.laptop.org/~probono/sbuntu/].'''(Note that this produces a very old sugar version 0.82.1)'''
  −
  −
Updated sucrose packages are usually published in a PPA: See [[Ubuntu#Sugar_on_Ubuntu_8.04|here]] for details.
  −
  −
If you want up-to-the-minute freshness (and brokenness) you can use [[Development Team/Jhbuild|jhbuild]] to build from source instead of the released packages. Follow the instructions [[Development Team/Jhbuild#Creating_an_xsession_for_Sugar-jhbuild|here]] to install sugar-jhbuild as an xsession option.

==== Fedora LiveCD/Live USB ====
  −
:Project page: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Sugar (superseding: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Sugar_Spin)
  −
  −
With this spin, you'll be able to run Sugar, which is developed by Sugarlabs and the desktop environment used on the OLPC, directly from a Live CD! You'll find several activities on the image including most notably...
  −
  −
* sugar-browse - a web browsing activity based on xulrunner
  −
* sugar-write - a word processor based on abiword
  −
  −
...along with several other activities including Chat support.
  −
  −
:See our [[Sugar_on_a_Stick | Sugar on a Stick page]].
  −
  −
The Fedora OLPC SIG, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OLPC, will be importing further activities into Fedora, which might be installed using ''yum install sugar-*'' at a later time.

  −
  −
Fedora 11 Preview contains USB Creator which can make USB and SD's with persistence of Fedora F11 (and Sugar if added with Synaptic) and Soas-beta's [satellit 04/30/2009]
  −
  −
What if you wanted to put it quickly onto your USB Key? You'll just need to grab Luke Macken's liveusb-creator, which already includes support for the Sugar Spin. Here's the link:
  −
  −
:http://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/
  −
  −
The liveusb-creator still contains an old link, which is the reason why you'll need to download the spin manually until this gets fixed.

'''Tip of the hat:''' Sebastian Dziallas and the Fedora team
  −
  −
==== Fedora on an OLPC XO ====
  −
  −
On an OLPC XO-1 laptop, run olpc-update as root.
  −
  −
Normally you only need to run ''olpc-update'' in the Terminal application with a build number, like this:
  −
  −
# sudo olpc-update 767
  −
  −
'''Note:''' Now you can do this by means of the graphical [[olpc:Sugar Control Panel|Sugar Control Panel]].
  −
  −
  −
====Joyride====
  −
See [[OLPC:Future releases]], the Joyride train is in the round house.
  −
  −
<big><font color=red>Joyride is for developers; it is not supported. Joyride builds may cause data corruption and in rare cases, even cause hardware damage, so please do not use Joyride on mission-critical systems.</font></big>
  −
  −
Joyride contains all the "bleeding-edge" features that are being debugged for inclusion in the next release.
  −
  −
Open the Terminal application and type the following, substituting 2469 for the latest version number.
  −
  −
# olpc-update joyride-2469
  −
  −
'''What's the latest version?''' You can find the latest build number (shown above as 1779) at the bottom of http://xs-dev.laptop.org/~cscott/xo-1/streams/joyride/
  −
  −
Updates usually takes 10–15 minutes. It's advised that you plug your XO in while Sugar updates itself, then reboot it to see the new OS take effect.
  −
  −
