'''Note:''' When booting a Live CD, the Journal is not automatically saved on shutdown, because the boot media is readonly. All changes are lost upon shutdown or reboot.

| |
| − | :Project page: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Sugar (superseding: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Sugar_Spin)
| |
| − | | |
| − | With this spin, you'll be able to run Sugar, which is developed by Sugarlabs and the desktop environment used on the OLPC, directly from a Live CD! You'll find several activities on the image including most notably...
| |
| − | | |
| − | * sugar-browse - a web browsing activity based on xulrunner
| |
| − | * sugar-write - a word processor based on abiword
| |
| − | | |
| − | ...along with several other activities including Chat support.
| |
| − | | |
| − | :See our [[Sugar_on_a_Stick | Sugar on a Stick page]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Fedora OLPC SIG, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/OLPC, will be importing further activities into Fedora, which might be installed using ''yum install sugar-*'' at a later time.
| |
| − | | |
| − | :Recent development spins:

| − | https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-olpc-list/2008-December/msg00061.html
| |

| − | Fedora 11 Preview contains USB Creator which can make USB and SD's with persistence of Fedora F11 (and Sugar if added with Synaptic) and Soas-beta's [satellit 04/30/2009]
| |
| − | | |
| − | What if you wanted to put it quickly onto your USB Key? You'll just need to grab Luke Macken's liveusb-creator, which already includes support for the Sugar Spin. Here's the link:
| |
| − | | |
| − | :http://fedorahosted.org/liveusb-creator/
| |
| − | | |
| − | The liveusb-creator still contains an old link, which is the reason why you'll need to download the spin manually until this gets fixed.

| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Fedora on an OLPC XO ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | On an OLPC XO-1 laptop, run olpc-update as root.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Normally you only need to run ''olpc-update'' in the Terminal application with a build number, like this:
| |
| − | | |
| − | # sudo olpc-update 767
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Note:''' Now you can do this by means of the graphical [[olpc:Sugar Control Panel|Sugar Control Panel]].

| − | ====Joyride====
| |
| − | See [[OLPC:Future releases]], the Joyride train is in the round house.
| |
| − | | |
| − | <big><font color=red>Joyride is for developers; it is not supported. Joyride builds may cause data corruption and in rare cases, even cause hardware damage, so please do not use Joyride on mission-critical systems.</font></big>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Joyride contains all the "bleeding-edge" features that are being debugged for inclusion in the next release.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Open the Terminal application and type the following, substituting 2469 for the latest version number.
| |
| − | | |
| − | # olpc-update joyride-2469 | |
| − | | |
| − | '''What's the latest version?''' You can find the latest build number (shown above as 1779) at the bottom of http://xs-dev.laptop.org/~cscott/xo-1/streams/joyride/
| |
| − | | |
| − | Updates usually takes 10–15 minutes. It's advised that you plug your XO in while Sugar updates itself, then reboot it to see the new OS take effect.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Other Options ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | These are options that can be used with the update command:
| |
| − | | |
| − | # olpc-update --help
| |
| − | <pre><nowiki>
| |
| − | Usage:
| |
| − | olpc-update [options] --hints hints-file
| |
| − | olpc-update [options] [-rf] build-number
| |
| − | olpc-update [options] [-rf] --usb
| |
| − | olpc-update --version
| |
| − | olpc-update --help
| |
| − | | |
| − | For example:
| |
| − | olpc-update 630
| |
| − | olpc-update joyride-1779
| |
| − | olpc-update update.1-700
| |
| − | | |
| − | Options:
| |
| − | -h, --help show this help message and exit
| |
| − | -f, --full skip incremental update attempt.
| |
| − | --force force update to an unsigned build.
| |
| − | -r, --reboot reboot after a successful update.
| |
| − | --hints=FILE name of json-encoded hints dictionary identifying the desired
| |
| − | new version.
| |
| − | -u, --usb upgrade from new build on inserted USB stick.
| |
| − | -v display verbose progress information; repeat for more verbose
| |
| − | output.
| |
| − | -q, --quiet don't output anything; use exit status to indicate success.
| |
| − | --version display version and license information.
