Revision as of 06:41, 3 December 2010
This is a quick guide to the locations of various forms of Sugar software that can run in QEMU emulation or VMware or VirtualBox virtualization.
You can download installation images (.iso files) for Linux distributions that support Sugar and create your own bootable images with Sugar installed.
See VirtualBox, VMware, or QEMU for more information on how to run an image, and Supported systems for more information on what is available.
Other virtual machines
- wikipedia Comparison_of_platform_virtual_machines Very nice comparison of features of various Virtual Machines Platforms
VirtualBox
- Appliance of Sugar on a Stick v3-Mirabelle
- firstboot has not yet run; so a new user name and password will be set for the gdm login on startup for the first time
- How Built:
- root=sugarroot
- 8-GB VirtualBox hard disc
- English and English keyboard
- USA-Los Angeles (Pacific timezone)
- download and import 2 files:

- Note1:Use the latest version of Oracle VM VirtualBox (3.2_10.8-64453 or later). Some appliances have multiple hard disc controllers and the earlier Sun VirtualBox 3.1 version does not support them.
- Note2: All appliances were built on a MacBook Air with Oracle VM VirtualBox (3.2.10-r66523) then tested on a Ubuntu installation on an Acer Aspire One Netbook imported into VirtualBox (3.2.10 r66523)
- Note3:Set ControlPanel/Frame "Edge" slider to far left for easier access to sugar-frame features
- Appliance of Sugar on a Stick v2 Blueberry
Read this first.
- download and import 3 files: soas-2-blueberry.ovf soas-2-blueberry.mf soas-2-blueberry.vmdk
- VirtualBox disc image of Sugar on a Stick v1 Strawberry
See SoaS on VirtualBox for more context.
- soas-strawberry-vdi.zip Sugar 0.84 (22 June 2009)
- Appliance of openSUSE-Sugar-11.3 [1] Uploaded 26 September 2010
- download and import 3 files:openSUSE_sugar.ovf openSUSE_sugar.ovf openSUSE_sugar.mf openSUSE-Sugar-11.3.vmdk
- 8-GB VirtualBox hard disc
- English and English keyboard
- USA-Los Angeles (Pacific timezone)
- Autologin- user=sugar password=sugaruser
- Ready to auto-configure to your hardware on first booting.
- note choose /dev/sda2 when prompted to do so on first run
- Appliance of UbuntuSugarRemix
- Reference links: Community/Distributions/Ubuntu, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Sugar
- download and import 3 files: USR-922-IRC-Remix.ovf USR-922-IRC-Remix.mf USR-i386-20100922.vmdk
- TZ=LA USA USA Keyboard 8-GB HD fully updated on 22 September 2010 with
- apt-get Updates
- apt-get Upgrade
- Remixed to add
- Surf-115.xo browser
- IRC.xo -(edited to log in to #sugar and #ubuntu-sugarteam)
- Analyze.xo
- Import the 3 files into Oracle Virtualbox
- User=sugar autologin
- Password=sugaruser
- install the virtualbox guest additions
- Integrates a Running Virtualbox Appliance with the desktop
- install the virtualbox guest additions with sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-guest-utils
VMware Player
- VMware Player appliance of one of the nightly composes of Sugar on a Stick (soas-i386-20100818.16.iso)
- VMware Player of Sugar on a Stick v2 (Blueberry)
- Open-suse-education
QEMU
See here for other experiments
Image installation tools
ZyX-LiveInstaller
- ZyX-LiveInstaller allows you to install Sugar from either a booted Live USB device or Live CD media to a system or external disk. It creates a traditional operating system installation on disk (or removable media such as SD or USB storage devices).
- This program can be useful for installing to a virtualized hard disk. It is not included in builds after soas-v2 Blueberry, so it must be downloaded and installed to use.
- In a running SoaS Terminal session or console, execute the following commands:
suyum install zyx-liveinstaller gparted
EasyVMX!
- Make a VMware Player appliance with-out needing a copy of VMware Workstation
- web site that builds a vmx file to your specifications (free)
- Works fine, runs on most platforms, and has persistence
- VMware Player download (free): http://www.vmware.com/tryvmware/
- EXAMPLE: soas-i386-20100926.17.iso burned to a CD
- specified a 8 GB Hard Drive and other parameters
- downloaded, in browse, the Custom vmx file as a .zip file
- Decompressed the .zip file
- Put soas-i386-20100926.17 CD in your CD Drive
- Open VMPlayer and point it to this vmx file
- CD boots in VMplayer application
- Sugar Starts
- To install to VMplayer Hard Disk:
- Open Sugar-terminal:
su liveinst Anaconda installer opens Initialize all disks Install procedes normally reboot firstboot Log in to user you specified
HINT: put the VMplayer Hard Disk Files on a 2 GB USB stick.
- (note runs about 10x slower on a USB stick)
- Example above created a 1.4 GB set of files'
- Copy-Paste all files
- Sugar on a Stick in VM Player form with persistence
- Portable (Student can take home and run on home Computer)
- Run it on different Platforms
