If you need log files for debugging, use the following command in a GNOME terminal ''(not Sugar Terminal)'' to run sugar with debug logs turned on:
Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SugarTeam/Report for information on reoporting bugs.
SUGAR_LOGGER_LEVEL=debug PRESENCESERVICE_DEBUG=1 sugar-emulator


This generates log files in the .sugar/default/logs directory under your home directory.


To report a bug on Sugar or one of the Sugar activities on Ubuntu, use the following steps:
'''This is likely to be reimplemented as Lucid hits Feature Freeze'''
* Go to https://launchpad.net/sucrose which represents all the Sugar components and activities supported in Ubuntu.
The Ubuntu Sugar team will do their best to provide fixes for bugs, but it does take time to get an updated package uploaded through Ubuntu's [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates Stable Release Updates] process. Where possible we'll suggest a workaround, or provide a fix in the [https://launchpad.net/~sugarteam/+archive Sugar Team PPA] first.
* Click on the appropriate component at the bottom of the page. If in doubt, click "Sugar shell" which is the base Sugar component.
* On the resulting page, scroll down to "Packages" and click on the hardy or intrepid package.
* On the resulting page, click on the "Bugs" tab at the top of the page.
* That takes you to a page listing known bugs on the package, and with a red "Report a bug" button.
 
Please include any relevant log files in a bug report: activity log files usually are named similarly to "org.laptop.Chat-1.log" (which is the log file for Chat). If you have run the activity multiple times in the current Sugar session, there will be Chat-2, Chat-3, etc so try to include the appropriate one.
 
If a problem or bug involves seeing (or not seeing) people in Neighborhood View, or activity sharing/collaboration, please also include presenceservice.log in the bug report.
