| You have an Ubuntu system and you wish to try Sugar?
| | ::https://sourceforge.net/projects/cyberorg-home/files/Li-f-e/ |
| | |
| As of 2012-02, Ubuntu does not have a stable version of Sugar in the Ubuntu repositories. Until this is fixed, your choices are:
| |
| * use [[Community/Distributions/Sweets_Distribution|Sweets]] on Ubuntu, (recommended for Ubuntu 11.04),
| |
| * use a virtual appliance, (compatible with any version of Ubuntu),
| |
| * use the unstable version 0.90 of Sugar, from the Ubuntu repositories, (compatible with any version of Ubuntu),
| |
| * switch to the [[Community/Distributions/Trisquel|Trisquel distribution]],
| |
| * switch to [[Community/Distributions|some other distribution]], or;
| |
| * install from Sugar source.
| |

| |
| | |
| *click on Applications, then Ubuntu Software Centre,
| |

| ==Using Sugar 0.90 on Ubuntu==
| |
| | |
| A "Choose password for new keyring" dialog may appear. This can be cancelled.
| |
| | |
| Only the Pippy and TurtleArt activities are included.
| |
| | |
| You can download more activities from Ubuntu. Click on System, then Administration, then Synaptic Package Manager. The packages names all start with sugar- and end with -activity. For example sugar-terminal-activity.
| |
| | |
| You can download more Activities from [http://activities.sugarlabs.org/ activites.sugarlabs.org] from outside of Sugar and install each .xo bundle individually in a terminal with:
| |
| | |
| sugar-install-bundle activity.xo
| |
| | |
| Activities that you install in a Sugar Terminal activity are automatically made favourites and will appear in the home view.
| |
| | |
| Activities that you install in GNOME Terminal are not automatically made favourites, and so do not appear in the home view. Use the List View to mark them as favourites.
| |
| | |
| Browse can be installed, but does not work, because the Sugar Platform is incomplete on this version of Ubuntu; it is missing hulahop.
| |
| | |
| === Full Screen ===
| |
| By default, Sugar on Ubuntu is run in a window. To run Sugar fullscreen:
| |
| *Go to the menu Applications -> Education -> Sugar,
| |
| *Drag and drop the Sugar icon to the desktop,
| |
| *Right-click on Sugar icon and choose Properties,
| |
| *Change the command to:
| |
| /usr/bin/sugar-emulator -f
| |
| *Use the desktop icon instead of the menu to start Sugar.
| |
| | |
| === Screensaver and Power Management ===
| |
| If you need to turn off screensaver and power management:
| |
| | |

| |
| xset -dpms
