I have cut a certain amount of output generated by inexperience. During the process I did try
iain@wheezy-box:~$ sweet upgrade
and
iain@wheezy-box:~$ sweet dextrose/sugar:emulator
Frequently a xephyr window was produced for 5 seconds and collapsed.
The common error message was
:ImportError: No module named hippo
I produced a logfile thus:
iain@wheezy-box:~$ sweets -DD --logfile=27 dextrose/sugar:emulator       
-- Solve dextrose/sugar-artwork for building

=== Bug Fix ===
At this point alsroot helps with bug-fix see:
[[Platform_Team/Guide/Sugar_via_Sweets#Debian]]
Due to the 23644010 bug in python-hippocanvas package, you need to be stuck to python2.6, e.g., you need to run a command sudo ln -fs python2.6 /usr/bin/python && sudo sed -i '/^default-version/s/python2../python2.6/' /usr/share/python/debian_defaults.
=== First successful test ===
iain@wheezy-box:~$ sudo ln -fs python2.6 /usr/bin/python && sudo sed -i '/^default-version/s/python2../python2.6/' /usr/share/python/debian_defaults.
iain@wheezy-box:~$ sweets -R dextrose/sugar:emulator -f
We have Xephyr on :30.0
About my computer.
::Build: Debian GNU/Linux testing (wheezy)
::Sugar: 0.88.1
All four views (F1 to F4) look ok, except there are no "neighbour avatars" in F1 neighbourhood view.
I copy Browse-129.xo and surf-115.xo from USB flashdrive to Journal.
Right click Browse icon in Journal, select start, flashing icon, reports fails to start.
Right click Surf icon in Journal, select start, flashing icon, reports fails to start.
Right click my avatar, My Settings, adjust keyboard, Frame. All ok.
Cursor activates frame. F5 and F6 work as expected.
Software updates:
Offers 11 updates. This offers to install new Activities.
Install all. 7.5 MB - no error reported.
No atavar except me in F1. Re-tried later and confirmed.
Start Chat activity. Switch to "sharing", balloon appears in F1.
Copy Moon.xo from USB flashdrive to Journal. Moon opens, rename activity ok
: There is an intermittent glitch that, while renaming an activity, the "Activity toolbar" will collapse on spacebar or hyphen keystroke, the dialogue box disappears, and my text is lost.
Click Moon, flashing icon and starts, rename activity ok and closes.
Start Firefox-6.xo - it is in offline mode by default. Switch online. Will browse. Close Firefox with non sugarised "Close x". Firefox icon in frame, still flashing.
:Working Activities
Click Image Viewer, flashing icon and starts, rename activity ok and closes.
Click Turtle Art, flashing icon and starts, rename activity ok and closes.
Click Calculate, flashing icon and starts, rename activity ok and closes.
Click Read Etexts, flashing icon and starts. Able to search for and download and read a Book. Rename activity ok and closes.
<u>Using Host machine</u> download Sugar_file_manager-2.xo. Copy and paste to Journal, Opens, works as expected.
Creates /home/iain/Journal on Host machine. /home/iain/Journal is an empty directory not linked to "Journal Activity in Sugar"
Download JAMedit-1.xo. Opens and works as expected.
: This note added 3 days after first tests. Having run through the test of all Activities in dextrose and sdk, Surf will now start in dextrose/sugar, browse successfully, rename Activity and closes.
Click Speak - pulsing icon, reports fails to start.
Click Log, pulsing icon. Reports fails to start.
Click Etoys, pulsing icon. Reports fails to start.
Click Memorize, pulsing icon. Reports fails to start.
Click Pippy, pulsing icon. Opens, can test a few items, but Pippy generally reports ImportError: no module named pygame.
Click Jukebox, pulsing icon. Reports fails to start.
Download Write_77.xo. Pulsing icon but reports fails to start.
In F3 Home view, all working Activities show in colour, all non-working activities are grey. In the Frame, all attached partitions show, but will not open. USB flashdrive shows distinctively and opens.
=== Second successful test ===
iain@wheezy-box:~$ sweets -R sdk/sugar:emulator -f
F1 view present.
About my computer
:Build: Debian GNU/Linux testing wheezy
:Sugar: 0.94.1
Test Terminal Activity with some simple commands eg:
iain@wheezy-box:~$ python -V
Python 2.6.7
Click Log, pulsing icon, starts, is able to capture a log and save it.
Implode tested - choose sharing view - no sign of Implode in F1
Chat opens start a chat in single view, I see no chat balloon in F1
Open Chat to "sharing" - no balloon seen. Retry later, confirm no "shared" activities show in F1
Turtle art starts test ok
Moon starts and test ok
As above non-working activities are: Speak, Etoys,Memorize, Pippy, Jukebox, Physics,
Surf-115 fails to start, and confirmed
: Note we are confined to Python v. 2.6.7, at present in Wheezy.
In both cases the host environment works fine and I saw no evidence of Sugar compromising the host in any way. No second computer available to test collaboration, so far.
Also an extended test carried out by children, barely supervised of this setup. Openbox is set up to launch the most-used programs, including GCompris [Alt+F6] and dextrose/sugar [Alt+F7] by simple key-binding. Three desktops [changed by Ctrl+Alt+arrow], 1, Iceweasel + any other programs, 2, GCompris, 3, dextrose/sugar:emulator -f.
