Sugar on Ubuntu

• This is page under construction

None of the solutions are completely satisfactory

It is Recommended to look at Trisquel for a much better solution

Trisquel is Ubuntu based and works well. (Trisquel 4 and 4.1 is based on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Trisquel 4.5, on Ubuntu 10.10.)

Sweets Distribution

NEW 02/03/2011 alsroot and satellit

This is Dextrose 2, thus more than just Sugar 0.88, it contains several features that still are not committed to the trunk + bug fixes from 0.90+.

download location changed

sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org 07/03/2011

Hi all,
If someone is using sweet packages for Ubuntu 10.04/10.10 and Trisquel
4.1/4.5 (thanks satellit for creating instructions of wiki), its download
location was changed from http://bazaar-download.sugarlabs.org/.. to:

• For Ubuntu-10.04/Trisquel-4.1:

   deb http://download.sugarlabs.org/packages/SweetsDistribution:/0.88/Ubuntu-10.04/ /
   deb-src http://download.sugarlabs.org/packages/SweetsDistribution:/0.88/Ubuntu-10.04/ /

• For Ubuntu-10.10/Trisquel-4.5:

   deb http://download.sugarlabs.org/packages/SweetsDistribution:/0.88/Ubuntu-10.10/ /
   deb-src http://download.sugarlabs.org/packages/SweetsDistribution:/0.88/Ubuntu-10.10/ /

• Repository uses new gpg key, to import it:

   gpg --keyserver keys.sugarlabs.org --recv 3182B17D
   gpg --armor --export 3182B17D | sudo apt-key add -   
New locations is being used to push packages through mirroring infra.

For Ubuntu-10.10:

sudo echo 'deb http://download.sugarlabs.org/packages/SweetsDistribution:/0.88/Ubuntu-10.10/ /' >> /etc/apt/sources.list

Import repository keys:

gpg --keyserver keys.sugarlabs.org --recv 3182B17D
gpg --armor --export 3182B17D | sudo apt-key add -

To install Sweets Distribution:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sweets-distribution

• To use Surf instead of Browse:

Download surf-115 to a USB device.

Insert this USB device into the computer running Sugar and point the Sugar cursor arrow to the Journal icon on the top Frame bar.

Move the cursor out of the Frame and then to the left bottom corner USB device icon after the Frame retracts.

Click on the USB icon and once the contents are displayed, drag with the mouse the displayed surf-115 and drop it on the Journal icon in the left bottom corner.

UbuntuSugarRemix

As of December 2009, We started a total refactoring of how Sugar is packaged in Ubuntu.

The USR project does not seem to be active anymore (satellit 07/04/2011)

• work located here: http://download.sugarlabs.org/usr/

Please See the Ubuntu Sugar Remix https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Sugar for the latest information.

The Sugar packages for Ubuntu provide a Sugar environment that is easy to install and can be configured as an X session in gdm or run in a window with sugar-emulator.

For some people the emulator mode has a serious bug where modifier keys get stuck. A work around is to disable keyboard repeat.

from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Sugar web page :

(no longer under active development) See Sweets_Distribution above

For netbooks without a CD

Use System/Administration/"USB Startup Disk Creator" in a Ubuntu Desktop to Make an Installer USB. Use this USB to install USR on your netbook.

Boot from Hard Disk

• Hint; to pull in the latest updates including activities: <ctrl> <alt> f5 will get terminal

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade 

Use this browser Surf-115.xo: http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/Surf-115.xo (sugar-browse does not work)

To install Surf: download Surf-115.xo to a USB (outside of sugar); Start USR Insert this USB and drag-drop it into the USR sugar-journal.

• Sugar is available as menu item Education/Sugar; but it is not full screen and not all of the Sugar screen is visible.

For Full Screen right click on menu item and save to desktop, then open properties of icon on desktop and change command to "sugar-emulator -f" (full screen option) Start Sugar from this icon...

http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2534#comment:1

In f1 neighborhood if you make friend the avitars are repeated so there are 2 of all of them.

Fix is to use Control Panel (Drop Down:My Settings/About Me) to change color of Avitar then restart.

Friend remains but you only have 1 set of Avitars again

recommended method to install 10.04 Lucid

DEPRECIATED (01/05/2011 satellit)

Do new install of Ubuntu 9.10
press Alt + F2 and then type "update-manager -d" (without quotes). It will show you that a newversion of Ubuntu is available.
Click on Upgrade to upgrade your current Ubuntu 9.10

Lucid has Sugar 0.88, 0.86, and 0.84 packages synced from Debian.

The current preferred method of running Sugar on Ubuntu is via Ubuntu Sugar Remix which can be downloaded at http://people.sugarlabs.org/dfarning

Packages can also be install via sudo

sudo apt-get install sugar-0.88   <possibly depreciated>

You can also install Ubuntu Sugar remix on a computer running Ubuntu 10.04. from UbuntuSugarRemix wiki: [1]01/28/2010

 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sugarteam/ppa
 sudo apt-get upgrade
 sudo apt-get install ubuntu-sugar-remix

Reporting Bugs

Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuSugarRemix/Report for information on reporting bugs.

This is likely to be reimplemented as Lucid hits Feature Freeze 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 Stable Release Updates process. Where possible we'll suggest a workaround, or provide a fix in the Sugar Team PPA first.
