The Undiscoverable
- We have tried hard to make it easy for children to discover what they can do with Sugar software without being told. But that isn't always possible. So we have a list of things that teachers should know about, and be able to demonstrate. If you find some feature of the software incomprehensible, please add it to the list, and we will see what we can do for you and everybody else who runs into the same problem. Sometimes the answer is a click of the mouse away, but not always. We are, after all, introducing children to all of human knowledge. They will inevitably need help with much of it. It took all of our ancestors many years to get this far, so it is alright if children spend a few years hitting the highlights, and getting help to do it.
OLPC Project Help and Information
- For general help and information about the OLPC Project, please see these links at the The OLPC Wiki:
- Official OLPC FAQ, Support FAQ, for questions about the XO laptop and its use, Support, for more support mechanisms, :Category:OLPC FAQ, and Ask OLPC a Question (in roughly that order).
Request new features
- Please use our Request New Features page.
- If you can't find your answer, please request one or supply one! below:
Help Requests:
- Click on an [edit] link next to a topic paragraph below to enter your request or an answer (you will see more instructions on the edit form). But first, if possible, login or register on the wiki, leave an email address (secured by your login password), and then you can choose to 'Watch' any page on the wiki (such as this one) by clicking the 'Watch tab', and you will receive an email if the page changes. Plus, others can respond to you privately by using the 'E-mail this user' link in the sidebar of your user page.
- There are also links for new questions on the Category:FAQ pages.
on Usage
- First, see the help links above.
- I would like to install Adobe Flash Player in order to access the learn-to-read website www.starfall.com with Browser. (i) Can the Sugar Browser run the Adobe Flash Player plug-in? (ii) If so, please modify the YUM instructions from Adobe (copied below) as needed for the Sugar environment. I'm a Windows user, so please include all necessary Terminal instructions (e.g., to change to the correct directory). Thanks in advance.
- Installation instructions for the YUM repository definition
- Click the download link to begin installation. A dialog box will appear asking you where to save the file.
- Save the .rpm file to your desktop and wait for the file to download completely.
- In terminal, navigate to the desktop and type # rpm -Uvh <rpm_package_file>. Click Enter. (Note: This must be done as a root user).
- Once the installation is complete, in terminal, type # yum install flash-plugin. Click Enter. (Note: This must be done as a root user).
- To verify the plugin is installed in Mozilla, launch Mozilla and choose Help > About Plug-ins from the browser menu.
- (See http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/productinfo/instructions/#section-3.) - David Kergyl 23:14, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

on the Wiki
- First, see the Wiki Team/Resources page.
on Submitting a bug
- Please report problems or bugs on Submit Bugs/Problems page.
on Releases
- First, see this page, 0.114/Roadmap.
on Distributions
- First, see the Downloads and Supported systems pages.
- Live CD in Spanish
- Purport: I see as one of the selling points of Sugar that a non-expert user can use computers "off the bat". It has been reported to me that currently the LiveCD requires some tweaking at startup to adjust it to a given locale, which I feel is to ask too much precisely from users that are not skilled.
Goal: a LiveCD version that is localized in Spanish from startup, with no tweaking required, to be distributable among the Spanish-speaking public.- Contact: yamaplos at bolinux.org

on Sugar hardware ports
- First, see the Supported systems page.
on Sugar activities
- First, see the Activity Team pages.
- According to this review, Scratch requires some setup in Terminal:
- ... Scratch lacks Sugar integration but it does have the benefit that you can store and retrieve Scratch in file folders which the user can setup. Unfortunately this does require some help with setting up files under Linux and giving the user write permission on those files. The plus side of all of this is that the user can read and write to a USB memory stick and share Scratch files with Scratch on other computers.... Rated 4 out of 5 stars by Bill on February 28, 2010
- Is this correct? Is such setup also required to use the Scratch included on the Blueberry SoaS? If so, please add a wiki section containing specific instructions for performing this setup in Terminal. The Scratch activities page should also link to the instructions. - David Kergyl 16:36, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you David for you contributions to the wiki both here and elsewhere! While you have entered your questions at appropriate places in the wiki for their future reference, if you accompany your question with a post to either of these mailing lists, It's An Education Project, IAEP (for general), or sugar-devel (for development-related) discussions, you will reach many more Sugar Labs followers who are not currently following changes on this wiki. We can then reference the discussion thread in the wiki and also provide a consolidated summary. --FGrose 17:25, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

on Sugar deployments
- First, see the Deployment Team pages.
on Sugar Labs
- See the Sugar Labs page. Sugar Labs was created to provide a mechanism for supporting the Sugar community of volunteers. These volunteers are engaged in a variety of activities: some are writing software to improve Sugar; some are porting Sugar to new platforms; some are developing new activities that run in Sugar; some are helping to debug Sugar and help with quality assurance; some are writing documentation for Sugar developers and for those who use Sugar in the field; some are developing new scenarios for learning with Sugar; some are using Sugar and reporting upon their experiences to the community; and some are providing help and support.
- Since we started Sugar Labs, we have been receiving a number of requests for help: porting Sugar to new distributions; tuning Sugar on a specific hardware platform; developing specific Sugar activity; helping with support in specific deployments, etc. Please use this page both to make requests and respond to requests for help.
