From IRC Aug 3 2013

From Lists: support-gang@laptop.org 07/15/2013
 
−
 
−
I just wanted to give everyone a heads about something coming down the pipe:)
 
−
On of the primary frustrations that I have been hearing from the
 
−
community is their inability to easily get hardware for their
 
−
deployments.
 
−
In response, we have released of an iso running Sugar on Ubuntu at
 
−
http://ubuntu.activitycentral.com/makeiso/iso/ubuntu_12.04-20130712_i686.iso
 
−
* Username is "ubuntu", with empty password.
 
−
As alway, AC's code is 100% free and open source.
 
−
 
 
−
===What's new===
 
−
* Tuned up python-dbus clears the last bug that made most activities
 
−
fail to start.
 
−
* Logs in into Sugar automatically.
 
−
* Most activities work (some will need some work, but it should not be
 
−
caused by problems in Sugar dependencies anymore, but things specific
 
−
to the activity). To be precise they start,  didn't test them in deeply
 
−
  Didn't test collaboration yet.
 
−
* General polish to make it look closer to a final product.
 
−
===What fails===
 
−
* Some quirks with the tamtam activities as usual, probably already
 
−
fixed in newer bundles.
 
−
* Write does not work as the gtk3 version of pyabiword or the gtk2
 
−
version of libabiword are not available in Ubuntu, so both gtk2 and
 
−
gtk3 versions of the activity are missing half of the dependencies.
 
−
* Etoys and Scratch fail, probably because squeak-vm is not the proper
 
−
version, so I'll be packaging that later as well.
 
−
* The keyboard and network sections of the CP fail, the code makes
 
−
some assumptions about being run in a xo or under fedora, resulting in
 
−
unhandled exceptions.
 
−
* Sometimes activities may fail to start if you open them right after
 
−
logging in, because something with dbus is not yet fully running.

==Sweets Distribution==

*'''Sugar 0.94'''
 
−
 
 
−
As of 2012-03, Ubuntu does not have a complete, stable version of Sugar in the Ubuntu repositories.  In particular, there is no compatible web browser.
 
−
 
 
−
Until this is fixed, try one of these options:
 
−
* use [[Sweets_Distribution|Sweets]] on Ubuntu, see [[#How_to_install_Sweets_on_Ubuntu|below]],
 
−
* use a virtual appliance, compatible with any version of Ubuntu, see [[#How_to_install_a_virtual_appliance|below]],
 
−
* use the incomplete version that Ubuntu provide, see the last section below, or
 
−
* install from Sugar source.

==How to install Sugar 0.90 on Ubuntu ==
 
−
*'''NOT Recommended'''
 
−
 
 
−
There are many problems with Sugar on Ubuntu (see [[/0.90|a list for 0.90]]), many of which have been fixed in a later version of Sugar, so we recommend the [[#How_to_install_Sweets_on_Ubuntu|Sweets]] or [[#How_to_install_a_virtual_appliance|virtual appliance]] methods above instead.
 
−
 
 
−
In particular, there is no compatible web browser included, though there is a [[/0.90#Problem:_Browse_activity_does_not_work|workaround]].
 
−
 
 
−
However, if you wish to to install Sugar on Ubuntu:
 
−
 
 
−
*click on Ubuntu Software Center,
 
−
*search for Sugar,
 
−
*click on sugar-emulator or sugar,
 
−
*click on Install,
 
−
*if asked about other required applications, click to install.
 
−
 
 
−
Sugar will be downloaded and installed.
 
−
 
 
−
To start Sugar, click on Applications, then Education, then Sugar.
 
−
 
 
−
See [[Emulator/Full Screen|how to create a desktop icon that runs Sugar full screen]].
 
−
 
 
−
See [[Ubuntu/Previous]] for how to install older versions of Sugar on older versions of Ubuntu using Ubuntu Software Center.
