12/03/2011 satellit

• Log of what I found

With much help from alsroot

Installation

• Zero Install (thus, Sweets') workflow requires having Internet connection

Once the system is built; it is cached locally so it will start without rebuilding

Default is sugar 0.88.1

from alsroot:
If you run several different Sugar versions via sweets, you will use the same profile; so, it might be a problem, e.g., the Journal version in Sugar 0.84 is different from Sugar 0.94; but for Sugar 0.88-0.94, it should be mostly ok.

sugar 0.88

Default is sugar 0.88.1

• GNOME Terminal

sudo apt-get install packagekit-gnome
wget http://download.sugarlabs.org/sweets/sweets/installer.sh 
sh installer.sh

• Restart (to reset dbus)
• Install GPG Key (as PK does not install it.)

yum install pygobject2-devel
packages will be installed... 1 + 3 dependencies  asks for gpg key and I said Y
Importing GPG key 0xA82BA4B7

sugar 0.94.1 (Unstable)

• Terminal:

sweets dextrose/sugar:emulator = 0.94

Software update in 0.94 offers 39 updates (installs new activities)

this seems a nice workaround for lack of activities in sweets-sugar

Activities that do not start

Turtle art 105
Read 87
Browse 116
Colors 15
Ruler 7
Maze 9 (Hangs)

surf-115.xo does not start here : (

Firefox-6.xo does start

Download to 2nd USB:http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/firefox-6.xo

Browses web well; Firefox is not fully sugarized so it does not save to sugar-journal.
