− | <dfarning> You can download the new alpha image from

| |
− | <dfarning> In this release all control panel sections should work:

| |
− | | |
− | From Lists: support-gang@laptop.org 07/15/2013
| |
− |
| |
− | 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.
| |
− | | |
− | Until this is fixed, try one of these options:
| |
− | * use [[Sweets_Distribution|Sweets]] on Ubuntu, see [[#How_to_install_Sweets_on_Ubuntu|below]],
| |
− | * use a virtual appliance, compatible with any version of Ubuntu, see [[#How_to_install_a_virtual_appliance|below]],
| |
− | * use the incomplete version that Ubuntu provide, see the last section below, or
| |
− | * install from Sugar source.

| |
− | | |
− | Install packages on an Ubuntu system so that you may run Sugar.
| |
− | | |
− | See [[Sweets Distribution#Installation|How to install Sweets Distribution]].
| |
− | | |
− | ===How to install a virtual appliance===
| |
− | | |
− | Install a virtual appliance based on Ubuntu:
| |
− | | |
− | *the [[Sugar_Creation_Kit/sck/Sugar-in-Virtualization#Ubuntu_11.04_Sweets_Distribution_sugar_0.94|Ubuntu 11.04 Sweets Distribution Sugar 0.94 virtual appliance]],
| |
− | *a tutorial on [[Tutorials/Installation/Import a VirtualBox appliance|How to import a virtual appliance into VirtualBox]].
| |
− | | |
− | There are other virtual appliances based on other distributions, which can be imported into virtualization software on Ubuntu.

− | *see [[Sugar_Creation_Kit/sck/Sugar-in-Virtualization|Emulator image files]].

− | ==How to install '''Sugar 0.90''' on Ubuntu ==
| |
− | *'''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.
| |
− | | |
− | In particular, there is no compatible web browser included, though there is a [[/0.90#Problem:_Browse_activity_does_not_work|workaround]].
| |
− | | |
− | However, if you wish to to install Sugar on Ubuntu:
| |
− | | |
− | *click on Ubuntu Software Center,
| |
− | *search for Sugar,
| |
− | *click on sugar-emulator or sugar,
| |
− | *click on Install,
| |
− | *if asked about other required applications, click to install.
| |
− | | |
− | Sugar will be downloaded and installed.
| |
− | | |
− | To start Sugar, click on Applications, then Education, then Sugar.
| |
− | | |
− | See [[Emulator/Full Screen|how to create a desktop icon that runs Sugar full screen]].
| |
− | | |
− | See [[Ubuntu/Previous]] for how to install older versions of Sugar on older versions of Ubuntu using Ubuntu Software Center.
