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.

*'''Sugar 0.94'''
    
As of 2012-03, Ubuntu does not have a complete, stable version of Sugar in the Ubuntu repositories.  In particular, there is no compatible web browser.

*'''NOT Recommended'''
    
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.
