|
| |
| For a LiveCD/LiveUSB, check out the instructions [http://dev.laptop.org/~probono/sbuntu/].'''(Note that this produces a very old sugar version 0.82.1)'''

| Updated sucrose packages are usually published in a PPA: See [[Community/Distributions/Ubuntu#Sugar_on_Ubuntu_8.04|here]] for details.

| If you want up-to-the-minute freshness (and brokenness) you can use [[Development Team/Jhbuild|jhbuild]] to build from source instead of the released packages. Follow the instructions [[Development Team/Jhbuild#Creating_an_xsession_for_Sugar-jhbuild|here]] to install sugar-jhbuild as an xsession option.

|
| |
| ==== Fedora LiveCD/Live USB ====
| |
| :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:
| |
| ::http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/snapshots/1/
| |
|
| |
| For more information, please refer to the announcement here:

| |
| 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.
