It is hoped that SoaS will get into the final release.
It was fault in the builders that caused this to occur.[1]

Used for install of any DE to Hard Disk as networkinstall (Including Sugar-Desktop)

Here are some ways to get .108 sugar:

You can also use the everthing netinstall to install sugar-desktop

look for Software selection in installer then choose sugar desktop environment
  • Checksum:

or use in another f24 Desktop Environment:

"dnf groupinstall sugar-desktop-environment"
(sudo dnf group list hidden -v)

Nightly F-24 images here from a couple of days ago:

They will most definitely be there for F-24 GA, and there's the nightly composes of F-24 where they're there most of the time. The
rel-eng process has been massively overhauled this dev cycle and there's still a few gremlins lurking.

copr update to 0.109 sugar

copr installed in f24 workstation with a sugar-desktop installed (0.108)
I see sugar 0.109 after dnf update and reboot. (satellit 06/05/2016)

"The copr doesn't include activities yet. If any activity authors want their activities in the copr, please send me tarballs (and probably send them to Peter Robinson as well so that they get into rawhide).

  • snip...(earlier note to [sugar-devel) list
I will be doing the release management for the 0.110 cycle. Please see the timeline [1]. I would appreciate any comments on the timeline.
I've also setup a COPR for sugar, which I hope to maintain throughout this cycle. Are there any other packaging services that we should have to push testing releases to?
Is there a service for automatic building of live SoaS images? XO images? Let's make this the most tested sugar release ever!
Thanks,Sam"

  • How to test if you are using wayland
1) You can check if you're on wayland by running
$ ls -l $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/wayland-0
if it returns a socket you're probably using wayland.
2)'xrandr' is easier to type... Output names have WAYLAND in them under wayland.
