==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)

  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

  ok, it is the keyring issue, assuming your distro has configured keyring correctly, changing the password should work

  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
::connected users shown on joined Soas-v5 frame with correct names
+
try moving /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/gnome-session-check-accelerated.desktop somewhere else
:::No joined users on Frame of XO-1
+
didn't know you needed anything additional for that.. was it always like that or did gnome 2 have that by default?
:::Name displayed in chat is xxxx@jabber... form
+
maybe thats the seahorse/keyring integration, that stuff has changed quite a bit in 3.0
 +
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

It's worth nothing, for Metacity >= 2.13.2, that if the window doesn't have a
 +
minimum size hint larger than the screen then Metacity will now force such
 +
windows to be onscreen (by shrinking and moving them as necessary).  If the
 +
window has a minimum size hint larger than the screen, then the user can use
 +
'''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
 +
  forward button. Yeah, that's just a workaround for windows that are too large,
 +
but it may be helpful information for those waiting for the UI changes to make
 +
the window usable on 800x600 resolutions.  :)

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

what, i was able to successfully install the program.

        It's kind of a definition issue. GNOME *Shell* requires acceleration.
jabber.sugarlabs.org causes dbus errors and large delays in 0.92.x sugar when active
+
        But technically GNOME 3 does not; the fallback interface is still
http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/11031 (closed ericos see> 2892; 2897)
+
        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.

        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.

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.
