| + | I just wanted to give everyone a heads about something coming down the pipe:) |
| + | On of the primary frustrations that I have been hearing from the |
| + | community is their inability to easily get hardware for their |
| + | deployments. |
| + | In response, we have released of an iso running Sugar on Ubuntu at |
| + | http://ubuntu.activitycentral.com/makeiso/iso/ubuntu_12.04-20130712_i686.iso |
| + | * Username is "ubuntu", with empty password. |
| + | As alway, AC's code is 100% free and open source. |
| + | |
| + | ===What's new=== |
| + | * Tuned up python-dbus clears the last bug that made most activities |
| + | fail to start. |
| + | * Logs in into Sugar automatically. |
| + | * Most activities work (some will need some work, but it should not be |
| + | caused by problems in Sugar dependencies anymore, but things specific |
| + | to the activity). To be precise they start, didn't test them in deeply |
| + | Didn't test collaboration yet. |
| + | * General polish to make it look closer to a final product. |
| + | ===What fails=== |
| + | * Some quirks with the tamtam activities as usual, probably already |
| + | fixed in newer bundles. |
| + | * Write does not work as the gtk3 version of pyabiword or the gtk2 |
| + | version of libabiword are not available in Ubuntu, so both gtk2 and |
| + | gtk3 versions of the activity are missing half of the dependencies. |
| + | * Etoys and Scratch fail, probably because squeak-vm is not the proper |
| + | version, so I'll be packaging that later as well. |
| + | * The keyboard and network sections of the CP fail, the code makes |
| + | some assumptions about being run in a xo or under fedora, resulting in |
| + | unhandled exceptions. |
| + | * Sometimes activities may fail to start if you open them right after |
| + | logging in, because something with dbus is not yet fully running. |

| There are many problems with Sugar on Ubuntu (see [[/0.90|a list for 0.90]]), many of which have been fixed in a later version of Sugar, so we recommend the [[#How_to_install_Sweets_on_Ubuntu|Sweets]] or [[#How_to_install_a_virtual_appliance|virtual appliance]] methods above instead. | | There are many problems with Sugar on Ubuntu (see [[/0.90|a list for 0.90]]), many of which have been fixed in a later version of Sugar, so we recommend the [[#How_to_install_Sweets_on_Ubuntu|Sweets]] or [[#How_to_install_a_virtual_appliance|virtual appliance]] methods above instead. |
