	~~{{Highlight\|bgcolor=lightgreen\|It has been proposed that the remainder of this page be reviewed and moved to the correct [[:Category:Supported systems]] page.}}~~


	~~===Ubuntu===~~

	~~'''[[Ubuntu]]'''~~
	~~: UbuntuSugarRemix and 10.04LTS~~

	~~'''https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Sugar'''~~
	~~: UbuntuSugarRemix~~

	~~The Sugar packages in~~
	~~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===~~

	~~==== 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.~~

	~~:Recent development spins:~~
	~~::http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/snapshots/1/~~

	~~For more information, please refer to the announcement here:~~

	~~https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-olpc-list/2008-December/msg00061.html~~

	~~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.~~

	~~==== Other Options ====~~

	~~These are options that can be used with the update command:~~

	~~# olpc-update --help~~
	~~<pre><nowiki>~~
	~~Usage:~~
	~~olpc-update [options] --hints hints-file~~
	~~olpc-update [options] [-rf] build-number~~
	~~olpc-update [options] [-rf] --usb~~
	~~olpc-update --version~~
	~~olpc-update --help~~

	~~For example:~~
	~~olpc-update 630~~
	~~olpc-update joyride-1779~~
	~~olpc-update update.1-700~~

	~~Options:~~
	~~-h, --help show this help message and exit~~
	~~-f, --full skip incremental update attempt.~~
	~~--force force update to an unsigned build.~~
	~~-r, --reboot reboot after a successful update.~~
	~~--hints=FILE name of json-encoded hints dictionary identifying the desired~~
	~~new version.~~
	~~-u, --usb upgrade from new build on inserted USB stick.~~
	~~-v display verbose progress information; repeat for more verbose~~
	~~output.~~
	~~-q, --quiet don't output anything; use exit status to indicate success.~~
	~~--version display version and license information.~~
	~~</nowiki></pre>~~
