Installing sweets-sugar from Fedora 16 GNOME 3 Terminal

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

Why apt-get instead of yum (this is F16 after all)? sudo yum install gnome-packagekit --Walter 07:11, 4 December 2011 (EST)

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 starts in Xephyr

at color screen

need to <== to rename it then ==> twice

no activities on f3

about my computer says Fedora release 16 (Verne) 0.88.1

Exit
Terminal

sweets -S dextrose/sugar:emulator -f

Hover over XO icon click on My Settings in drop down
Move bottom slider "edge" fully Left

restart

Terminal

sweets -S dextrose/sugar:emulator -f

Click on sugar journal icon in f3 screen
Drag drop surf-115.xo from 2nd USB

http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/Surf-115.xo

Download to a USB and insert the USB in running sweets-sugar

click on surf in f3
Activities (upper right screen)

Load the activities you want from ASLO (or from the 2nd USB by drag drop) irc;chat;...etc

Have fun

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)
Poll 27
Get Books 5
Tetris Mat 1

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.

Notes on how to start 0.88 or 0.94

commands to start sweets-sugar in terminal:

Full Screen

sweets -S dextrose/sugar:emulator -f

0.88

sweets -S dextrose/sugar:emulator = 0.94 -f

0.94

after installing the activities in software update in 0.94 they remain in sugar 0.88 and work.
