| |
| ===Windows XP SP2===
| |
| Loads and runs VMware virtual machine in Windows XP SP2 {tested on a Dell 2350 Tower and EeePC1000 }
| |
|
| |
| Appliance (packaged virtual machine) runs from USB Stick & Hard Disk on VMPlayer or VMWorkstation
| |
|
| |
| === Ubuntu 8.04 and 9.04 ===
| |
| VMware Workstation 6.5.2 can make virtual machine image files in Ubuntu. VMware Player will run these virtual appliances. The appliance can be distributed by copying to a DVD or a 4-GiB SD or USB drive or by downloading prebuilt VMPlayer Appliances from Sugar Labs [[http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/]] or other server.
| |
| ====For VMWorkstation HD Installs in Ubuntu====
| |
| * (also works for HD installs to PC)
| |
|
| |
| * Ubuntu Installations use sugar-PPAs:[http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Community/Distributions/Ubuntu#Using_sugar_PPAs]
| |
|
| |
| * see Trisquel 3.0-Sugar [http://devel.trisquel.info/sugar/] (based on Ubuntu 9.04)

| ====Soas-v2-blueberry.iso Install using zyx-liveinstaller ====
| |
| Download link: [http://download.sugarlabs.org/soas/releases/soas-2-blueberry.iso]
| |
| # Method used for this Install to VMware 4GB IDE(custom)Hard disk /(SCSI will not work):
| |
|
| |
| *'''<<In sugar terminal as root>>'''
| |
| * zyx-liveinstaller
| |
| *'''Grapical Installer Starts'''
| |
| *START PARTITIONER
| |
| *4GB unallocated
| |
| *Make new partition (All of it;that just creates the partition scheme, you can create the partitions afterwards)
| |
| =====Create new Partitions=====:
| |
| * 200 MiB ext2 for /boot
| |
| * 2.93 GiB ext4 for /
| |
| * 902 Mib linux-swap
| |
| * Edit-Apply all Operations
| |
| *CANCEL PARTITIONER (hit X in Right top corner)
| |
| *zyx-live installer behind in window
| |
| *select the data and boot partitions and start install.
| |
|
| |
| Also will write to USB/SD

| === Fedora12-EDU Spin ===
| |
| http://spins.fedoraproject.org/edu/#downloads
| |
| http://spins.fedoraproject.org/edu/
| |
| * F12 release 12 (Constantine)
| |
| * Use as a Live CD or as a 8-GB Appliance for VMware Player.
| |
| * 0.86.3 Sugar and Gnome Desktop.
| |
| * It installs nicely in the normal manner with liveinst (or anaconda from terminal)
| |
| * dd install works (8GB USB) to make non-persistent installer USB for Netbooks
| |
|
| |
| * See the procedure above to make a VMplayer on a USB boot stick run this latest version of the Sugar platform as an Appliance..
| |
|
| |
| ===Fedora 11===
| |
| VMware Player will not load in Fedora 11 beta or Fedora Preview loaded with shell command; One gets "Unable to modify kernel" error and quits.
| |
|
| |
| ===Fedora 10===
| |
| * VMplayer can be loaded in Fedora 10 and used to run a VMplayer Appliance of Sugar platform based on Fedora 11.
| |
| * The Sugar platform included in Fedora 10 is not the current version.
| |
|
| |
| ===openSUSE===
| |
| * Prebuilt .vmx file for Download: https://sourceforge.net/projects/opensuse-edu/files/Sugar/
| |
| * http://en.opensuse.org/Sugar
| |
| :(See: nubae and cyberorg on #irc #sugar #opensuse-edu for details.)
| |
|
| |
| SUSE is building and hosting appliances at these sites for downloading.
| |
|
| |
| =====Live CD=====
| |
|
| |
| * http://education.opensuse.org/download/ISOs/
| |
| * http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Education/images/iso/
| |
| * Newest versions of live .iso can be installed to USB/SD with dd command:
| |
| * Now 2nd partition can be created with a script: http://en.opensuse.org/Live_USB_stick
| |
|
| |
| *(x)be careful to use correct device or you can wipe your hard disk!

|
| |
| http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Education/images/ (.raw format for USB Sticks)
| |
| * Run on VMware Player or VirtualBox after decompressing.
| |
|
| |
| =====Instructions=====
| |
| '''Important, for all openSUSE Appliances:'''
| |
| openSUSE-Sugar-0.1.0-Build2.26.1.vmx
| |
| no password req to start
| |
| Password(root)=sugaruser
| |
| ====================================
| |
| To reset SUGAR ENTIY:
| |
| (Clear out name, color, and Sugar Journal contents)
| |
| <sugar terminal>
| |
| rm -rf ~/.sugar
| |
| su -
| |
| password:sugaruser
| |
| shutdown -h now
| |
| restart sugar
| |
|
| |
| INSTRUCTIONS ***VERY IMPORTANT!***
| |
| ======================================
| |
| when you open this VM Appliance with VMPlayer for first time:
| |
| use "I moved it"
| |
| NO NOT click "I Copied it"
| |
| Doing so generates a 2nd MAC id for the network card and leaves it as eth0
| |
| not configured (It will not work)
| |
| clearing the /.sugar entity (see above) does not affect Mac address
| |
| Nor does changing the color or name on the sugar control panel.
| |
|
| |
| ***** ALSO Do the following Right away after opening sugar for the first time:*****
| |
| *<sugar terminal>
| |
| su -
| |
| Password:xxx (see above)
| |
| yast2 sysconfig
| |
| System>Sysconfig>Enable Sysconfig>(NO)
| |
| (this locks out network reconfig)
| |
| exit, shutdown, restart
| |
| **(This seems to stop the autoconfiguration of openSUSE on restart)**
| |
| ---------------------------------------
| |
| IF F1 Neighborhood is not connecting:
| |
|
| |
| Try this First to start Network Manager:
| |
| *<sugar terminal>
| |
| su -
| |
| password:xxx
| |
| rcnetwork restart
| |
| =============
| |
| NETWORKING FIX:
| |
| (Networking Fix for loss of F1 Neighborhood:)
| |
| <sugar terminal>
| |
| su-
| |
| Password:xxx (see above)
| |
| yast2 lan
| |
| switch to non-Network Manager control
| |
| Delete other network cards
| |
| configure DHCP 4 with hardware and eth0
| |
| exit
| |
|
| |
| once you get networking to work;
| |
| *<sugar terminal>
| |
| su -
| |
| Password:xxx (see above)
| |
| yast2 lan
| |
| select Network Manager
| |
| exit
| |
| (change to network manager for wireless configration)
| |
| then:
| |
| *<sugar terminal>
| |
| su -
| |
| Password:xxx (see above)
| |
| yast2 sysconfig
| |
| System>Sysconfig>Enable Sysconfig>(NO)
| |
| (this locks out network reconfig)
| |
| exit, shutdown, restart
| |
|
| |

| * Details on how to use uncompresses raw file: http://en.opensuse.org/Disc_image_howtos
| |
| Latest .raw file: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Education/images/
| |
| * Extract raw file
| |
| : Unmount the USB first, then from terminal:

| |
| ===== Typical Imaging Session=====
| |
| With raw file on ~/Desktop (BE CERTAIN your USB is sdb (the volume ID). (DO NOT use sdb1, the first partition ID). Change, if different.
| |
| <pre>XXXX:~/Desktop/$ sudo dd if=openSUSE-Sugar-liveUSB-unstable.i686-0.0.3-Build4.17.raw of=/dev/sdb bs=4k
