Supported versions

Currently only Karmic (9.10) is supported. All more recent versions of Ubuntu lack at least one important package.

Prerequisites

In order to install sugar-jhbuild, you need git-core and svn.

Installing dependencies

After installing and updating sugar-jhbuild according to the common instructions, you can use this invocation to install all dependencies automatically:

./sugar-jhbuild depscheck -s | sudo xargs aptitude -y install

Significant bugs

Karmic (9.10) has a broken D-Bus security configuration that prevents sugar-emulator from working (because Xephyr cannot work). On all versions sugar-emulator doesn't work properly if the X server uses evdev as keyboard driver (because of a Xephyr bug).

Potential pitfalls

gtk-recordmydesktop may prevent sugar-emulator from working properly

-== Fixing RPATH (Jaunty/9.04 only) ==
-To work around a bug in the Gnome Python bindings shipped by Jaunty (9.04), you need to issue the following commands after installing all dependencies:
- sudo aptitude install chrpath
- find /usr/lib/python-support/python-gnome2/python2.5/gtk-2.0 \
-     /usr/lib/python-support/python-gconf/python2.5/gtk-2.0 \
-     -name "*.so" | sudo xargs chrpath -d
