Revision as of 06:34, 22 September 2010

This is a quick guide to the locations of various forms of Sugar and the XS school server software that can run in QEMU VMWare or VirtualBox emulation. You can download installation .isos for other Linux distributions that support Sugar and create your own bootable images with Sugar installed. See QEMU or VirtualBox for how to run an image, and Supported systems for more information on what is available.

Many of these images (older than Sugar on a Stick) do not include the latest 0.84 release. Some that do have 0.84 have serious bugs that prevent them from running at all, or have Activities that do not run.

Sugar on a Stick

Note: PARTS OF THIS PAGE ARE OLD and need revision.

Current

Prebuilt VirtualBox Appliances:

  • Blueberry-v2: [4] ReadME:[5]
  • Mirabelle-v3-(Current): [6] ReadME:[7]

Older builds

Routine (formerly daily) Builds

XO 1.5 test

Fedora 11 with Sugar 0.84 and Gnome. There are preliminary versions of this software built for XO 1.0, in .img and .iso files. In a menu at the bottom of the initial screen, you can choose either Sugar or Gnome sessions before logging in.

Chris Ball promises a regular release schedule of 1.5 builds by the time XO 1.5 prototypes enter production. If you're interested in contributing or testing, they would certainly love your help. You can find them on the fedora-olpc mailing list, and freenode IRC's #fedora-olpc channel.

Releases

  • Prebuilt Sugar 0.84 images are not yet regularly available.
  • Fedora Sugar Spin image
    NOTE:later Fedora 12 SUGAR 0.86 Spin: http://spins.fedoraproject.org/edu/
  • XS Installer Warning: If you are not paying attention, this will format your hard drive. Of course, if you boot this in kvd/qemu/VirtualBox alongside an empty hard drive image, you probably want it to format your drive image and install the School Server.
  • Various Linux distro installation images, where Sugar can be installed from packages: Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu Intrepid (but not Jaunty so far), ALT Linux, Mandriva, Caixa Mágica, Gentoo, OpenSUSE, Slackware. Not all of them work. Note that the command to start Sugar is usually 'sugar-emulator'. The command 'sugar' will seem to start, but will have a broken UI, and packages will not start.

Live CDs

sugar-jhbuild

  • binary.iso 27-Nov-2008. You would do better to install Fedora in an image, and build sugar-jhbuild there. Unfortunately, sugar-jhbuild does not build reliably on Debian-based distributions.
