You have an Ubuntu system and you wish to try Sugar?

There are now 2 versions to use:

==Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS - Dextrose Sugar Live==

:NEW 07/19/2013

*'''Sugar 0.98.7'''

===Download===

*''' http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/ubuntu_12.04-20130712_i686.iso '''

===Install to Hard Disk===

#Ubuntu Startup-disk-creator will create a USB installer

#Boot from Live DVD

* "Username is "ubuntu", with empty password."

:Either method will run as a live CD or Install to Hard Disk

==~~Installation~~==

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.

*'''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.

===How to install Sugar on Ubuntu ===

===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.
