===Install sugar-desktop===
Without a working browser, we can use the host browser, midori, and pcmanfm unzip tool.
yum groupinstall sugar-desktop
:::633kb | 133MB  138 files
yum install sugar-emulator


Select a new Activity from ASLO, http://activities.sugarlabs.org//en-US/sugar/ . (Packages selected to run in Sugar 0.94.1 can be identified in ASLO, using "Advanced Search"). Using Midori, download chosen Activities to, say, ~/downloads. Open ~/downloads with pcmanfm, select the NewActivity.xo, right click, chose extract to, enter ~/Activities, press Save. The Activity will unzip ready to use. You can check in ~/Activities that you have NewActivity.activity

==== Fixed Items ====
===Sugar===
Earlier in the process, to fix:
*Build: Fedora remix release 18 (Raspberrypi Fedora Remix)
*Sugar: 0.98.2
====Create and read wiki-page.pdf files in LDXE and Sugar====
*You can Create wiki-page.pdf files in LDXE using the RPi to load on a USB for access in sugar-read :
:See: [[Tutorials/Tutorials.iso]]
:Browser in LDXE can print Wiki pages to a .pdf file
yum install evince
:evince is added so .pdf files can be read in LDXE
::Read in sugar already can open the .pdf files on a 2nd USB
*Evince reading Tutorials USB on LDXE Desktop

*To run sugar: log-out/log-in then choose sugar in switcher after you enter your user name.
*Information; http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Raspberry_Pi_Fedora_Remix
*Sugar IRC-10 in RPi "B" 512 on rpfr-f18-rc1 (arm) and rpfr-17-xfce-r2 use IP6 ...all my other devices use IP4
...
In general newer versions of Fedora will try and autodiscover IPv6 networks.
  If it finds one with a non-local (not fe80::) IP address it will get on it, and used the IPv6 routers spotted if present
Given a DNS name with both IPv4 & v6 addresses set, it's mostly up to the application to see if asks the OS to do v4, v6,
or just generically whichever the OS thinks makes the most sense

*'''RECOMMENDED'''
*http://scotland.proximity.on.ca/raspberrypi/test-releases/rpfr17/
Changes in this release:
- Image resize/swap space creation is now more reliable (note, however,
that it will take several minutes after the firstboot setup before the
resize/swap takes effect - the system may be used during this time). I
think we've probably nailed the last of the significant
firstboot/resize/swap issues.
- The image is now 1.852G in size and will fit a 2GB card (4GB or larger
card is recommended to allow plenty of space for data/extra
software/swap). The download is 665MB.
Next week we'll start performance tests with armv6 rebuilds (sfp & hfp)
and continue work on image size reduction and boot cutdown.

:search for sugar
  <inkyfingers> Image from: http://www.raspbian.org/
:Select:
<inkyfingers> is Debian Hard Float (armhf) for RPi
::sugar-session-0.96 - 315 files
  <inkyfingers> Is armhf likely to be a problem for <sweets>?
 
  <alsroot> inkyfingers: I didn't try to run sugar on arm. OLPC people support it but I dunno do they use sugar directly from upstream brunches (what was used for sweets (not SD)) or not
===About my Computer===
  <inkyfingers> #644010 is now marked fixed - so wheezy seems fine to me with python 2.7 - I believe eliminated.
*Caution Keyring password is asked at start
<alsroot> btw, whats exact sugar version you are running on Raspberry?
:This password required to be used to start Jabber.sugarlabs.org
  <inkyfingers> Ok tried sdk/sugar and dextrose/
Build Debian GNU/Linux testing/unstable
  <inkyfingers> dextrose marginally more success.
  Sugar 0.96.1
  <inkyfingers> * Booting Rpi ... will try to ssh for notes . I tested Sugar 0.88 and 0.94
===Notes===
  ...
*1 Amp Power Supply is marginal with a Dell USB Keyboard and Dell USB Wheel-Mouse connected to the 2 supplied connectors on RPi
  <inkyfingers> raspbian@pisces:~$ sweets dextrose/sugar:emulator
*'''Use a 4-Port Powered Desktop Hub  to connect them instead'''  (Belkin 4-port Powered Hub F4U20-8830-06939 Rev A00) worked
  <inkyfingers> Xephyr on :30.0
====Install More Activities in Sugar====
<inkyfingers> About my computer:
*Download the Activities you want to a USB from http://activities.sugarlabs.org/
  <inkyfingers> Build: Debian GNU/Linux testing/unstable
*USB's do not Automount on insertion on the RPi
  <inkyfingers> Sugar: 0.88.1
=====Mount/Unmount USB=====
  ...
*'''Mount USB'''
  <inkyfingers> I will try to write only about sweets dextrose/sugar:emulator ...
:Terminal:
  <inkyfingers> F1 to F6 all fine ok
  sudo su
  <alsroot> thats fine..
  (password)
<alsroot> though, in my mind SD, finally, is more useful way to start sugar itself. but unfortunately, it does not [yet]support arm
  root@pisces:/home/raspbian# mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /home/raspbian/USB
<inkyfingers> I could see no avatars in F1 in dextrose <seen fine in sdk, 0.94>
*USB appears on Desktop and in Sugar Frame when clicking on Journal
<inkyfingers> I have no Activities in F3
*[[Tutorials/Copy_with_drag_%26_drop|Drag Drop install xxxx.xo files]] from USB to the Sugar Journal
  <alsroot> for activities, you can unzip some of them (that are pure python) to ~/Activities
*'''Unmount USB'''
  <inkyfingers> That would be a good next step.
  root@pisces:/home/raspbian# unmount /dev/sda1
  <inkyfingers> Two usb ports are used by mouse and kbd. I will prepare a USB stick next and try that out.
 
  <alsroot> inkyfingers: btw, how long it took to build sugar via "sweets" command?
