==Split page==
* Note Spiral f3 home arrangement if all activites are favorites
+
Please consider reorganizing this page to start with the current stable release of Fedora and the easiest way to run Sugar with it. Follow that by sections for alpha/beta versions of Fedora Sugar, a short section with links to SoaS, and then links to subpages for ARM, PPC, & older versions of Fedora Sugar. Guidance for GNOME on Fedora and other peripheral content should also probably be on subpages. --[[User:FGrose|FGrose]] 11:45, 30 June 2012 (EDT)

::Having now created pages for Fedora 18, 19, and 20, entry level Sugar information (however up to date) remains, but mixed in with [legacy] Fedora 17. I propose moving all Sugar material, (which I would like to expand) above Fedora 17 material on this page. I wonder whether later, a new page for Fedora 17, would fit better with the current Fedora page naming? Any better suggestions? --[[User:Inkyfingers|Inkyfingers]] ([[User talk:Inkyfingers|talk]]) 17:59, 12 October 2013 (EDT)

::: I would like this page to be the primary location for information on using '''Sugar''' on the current stable release of Fedora (as suggested in the first sentence above), and so, would have to be edited to remain current. The Fedora NN pages should address any special version-specific information or testing, advice, etc., and be considered as secondary pages, which naturally become dated with timeSo, yes I agree that the Fedora 17 content could be moved to a Fedora 17 page, and this page always updated for the easiest way to run Sugar on the current version of Fedora. Information not related to running Sugar on Fedora should be minimal on this page--[[User:FGrose|FGrose]] ([[User talk:FGrose|talk]]) 19:41, 12 October 2013 (EDT)

====Keyring Password Explained====
  paint 34.1
+
  what do you have to enter when connecting to wlan, the keyring password or the wlan-password?
  moon 12
+
  first i must enter the keyring password (root password here) and then i entered the wireless password
help 12
+
  the keyring-password should not be your root password, it should be your users password so automatically unlocking could work
clock 6
+
  it may happen but during current session, after i reboot it appears again
chat 70
+
  ok, it is the keyring issue, assuming your distro has configured keyring correctly, changing the password should work
*tamtamsynth lab 55

  root pass?

  distance 22
+
  as user (the login-keyring)
  record 92.1
+
  keyring is a way to store your "gnome" passwords
  implode 10
+
  So, with one password (the keyring one), you "auto-type" the passwords it contains
  *terminal 31
+
  if the keyring-password is your login password, it's automatically authenticated
  abacus 19
+
  keyring stores the passwords encrypted with the according keyring-password, and automatic unlocking works by getting the password through pam on login through gdm and then use it to unencrypt the passwords - and that can only work if your login-password is the same as the keyring-password

  why doesn't gnome 3 display "interactive dialogs" when applications ask for input
===Collaboration Tests===
+
yes, also from gnome 3
====os874 on XO-1 and os873 on XO-1.5====
+
when you run the shell script from nautilus, it doesn't display a dialog
====os874 on XO-1 and git Soas-v5-Coconut (0.92.4) ====
+
"Enter passphrase for ..."
::chat 70 has title displayed on 0.92.4 but not on 0.92.2
+
you can use zenity for that
====Chat 70====
+
try moving /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/gnome-session-check-accelerated.desktop somewhere else
:starts from either XO-1 or XO-1.5
+
didn't know you needed anything additional for that.. was it always like that or did gnome 2 have that by default?
::Sharing works either way
+
maybe thats the seahorse/keyring integration, that stuff has changed quite a bit in 3.0
::Colors OK
+
but i thought you meant a more generic approach of showing dialogs from scripts
 +
i'm actually doing the ssh-add from a process spawned by a pygtk app
 +
if it is only this specific case, you should probably still use keyring/seahorse (whatever should do that now) as it would not be passing around passwords unencrypted between processes (at least afaik)
 +
worked!
 +
do you somehow run gdm with a different driver or some weird setup like that?
 +
so it's not possible to get the old behavior, and it needs some additional code to get it to work with seahorse/keyring?
 +
which distro is this?
 +
fedora 15 beta
 +
i've tested the same code on fedora 14 and linuxmint (both gnome 2)
 +
when the ssh-add {key_path} process is spawned, the GUI dialog appears asking you to type in your passphrase
 +
  ssh-add succeeds, and them the rest of the pygtk app continues
 +
it doesn't even care whether the key is password protected or anything
 +
i think there needs a daemon to be running that doesn't get started by fedora
 +
this happens both in standard and fallback mode
 +

windows to be onscreen (by shrinking and moving them as necessary).  If the

'''alt+left-click-and-drag (or alt+f7 and then the arrow keys) to move the window

upwards''' (including moving the titlebar offscreen) in order to get to the

but it may be helpful information for those waiting for the UI changes to make

why not use a keyboard shortcut. the "next" button is marked "forward" so i hit '''alt + f''' and guess

====Alt+Tab switches between windows====
 +
: hot corner = upper left switches between shell and running applications
 +
: '''Alt+F2 allows entering a command to launch an application.'''  
 +
      the Shell simply always behaves so there's exactly one empty workspace.
 +
      So when you start a session you have one workspace.
 +
      As soon as you run something it goes into that workspace and
 +
      you get a second empty workspace. As soon as you put any app into that
 +
      empty workspace, a new empty workspace is created. If you remove
 +
      everything from any workspace, it will disappear, so there's still only
 +
      one empty workspace at the bottom of the list. So, there's never any
 +
      need to manually add a new workspace. Pretty neat system.

===About my Computer===

      From http://gnome3.org/faq.html ...
Build 871
+
        The GNOME 3 desktop does require hardware accelerated graphics
sugar 0.92.2
+
        in order to provide a cutting-edge experience however, and the
firmware q2e45
+
        complete GNOME 3 experience will only be available on computers
wireless firmware 5.110.22.p23
+
        capable of this. Do not worry though: GNOME 3 will come complete
*note very slow response
+
        with a fallback interface which will provide an excellent
*'''Activities only start on second try''' (get "failed to start" on first try)
+
        experience in the absence of hardware acceleration, and which
: (This is related to a by a dbus timeout in Soasv4 and v5)
+
        incorporates many of the improvements that can be found in GNOME
: it takes about 15 seconds for a response.Including exiting an activity.
+
        3.
 +
        -------------------------------------------
 +
      test Digest, Vol 85, Issue 60, Message: 7
 +
        It's kind of a definition issue. GNOME *Shell* requires acceleration.
 +
        But technically GNOME 3 does not; the fallback interface is still
 +
        considered to be 'GNOME 3'. So you do need acceleration to get the Shell
 +
        interface that's the 'big new thing' in GNOME 3, but still, if you don't
 +
        have acceleration and you get the fallback interface instead, what
 +
        you're running is still GNOME 3. Just GNOME 3's fallback interface.
 +

      Message: 8
 +
        In any case, VBox with 3d accelleration enables and 128MB for video memory
 +
        is not sufficient for GShell.  (VBox 4.0.4)
 +
      Message: 13
 +
        Also, on that last note, we should clarify that right now Shell doesn't
 +
        work even in virtualized environments where accelerated graphics *are*
 +
        available, e.g. VirtualBox with appropriate hardware and drivers. In
 +
        theory it should be possible to make this work, but in practice it
 +
        currently doesn't.
 +
        So there's two angles we can approach this from; make Shell run with
 +
        software GL, or fix up Shell to work with virtualized graphics
 +
        acceleration passthrough. But it's not at all guaranteed that we'll
 +
        manage either in time for f15.

  I formatted the partition to make space for a working distro. i have refit installed and my mbp boots to that at startup by default. that didnt make 15 alpha work. 14 did though
tamtamedit 55

  okay. I will try to install again later and do that. Thank you so far. Will get back to you guys

This is a significant problem. Sugar will be more successful if Linux users can easily find it by a simple keyword search in the default installer. A user should not have to install a new installation app in order to find Sugar. I suggest that the team create an "application" that (i) meets Fedora's criteria for applications and (ii) automatically executes a script that downloads and installs the necessary components of Sugar.  Better yet, the Sugar Learning Platform Package App could even give a user a set of choices of available components and/or activity packages to add to the script.
