  • Log of what I found

Once the system is built; it is cached locally so it will start without rebuilding
Default is sugar 0.88.1

from alsroot:
If you run several different Sugar versions via sweets, you will use the same profile; so, it might be a problem, e.g., the Journal version in Sugar 0.84 is different from Sugar 0.94; but for Sugar 0.88-0.94, it should be mostly ok.

sugar 0.88

Default is sugar 0.88.1
  • GNOME Terminal
sudo yum install gnome-packagekit
wget http://download.sugarlabs.org/sweets/sweets/installer.sh

  • Sugar starts in Xephyr

http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/Surf-115.xo
Download to a USB and insert the USB in running sweets-sugar
  • click on surf in f3
  • Activities (upper right screen)
Load the activities you want from ASLO (or from the 2nd USB by drag drop) irc;chat;...etc

Have fun

sugar 0.94.1 (Unstable)

  • Terminal:
sweets dextrose/sugar:emulator = 0.94
Software update in 0.94 offers 39 updates (installs new activities)
this seems a nice workaround for lack of activities in sweets-sugar

Activities that do not start

Turtle art 105
Read 87
Browse 116
Colors 15
Ruler 7
Maze 9 (Hangs)
Poll 27
Get Books 5
Tetris Mat 1
surf-115.xo does not start here : (
Firefox-6.xo does start
Download to 2nd USB:http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/firefox-6.xo
Browses web well; Firefox is not fully sugarized so it does not save to sugar-journal.

Notes on how to start 0.88 or 0.94

  • commands to start sweets-sugar in terminal:
Full Screen
sweets -S dextrose/sugar:emulator -f
0.88
sweets -S dextrose/sugar:emulator = 0.94 -f
0.94
  • after installing the activities in software update in 0.94 they remain in sugar 0.88 and work.

Sweets errors in Ubuntu 11.04

  • Re: [Sugar-devel] [Sugar emulator][Ubuntu 11.04] I can't install an activity (with the setup.py)

Yeah, that's ubuntu-11.04's long standing bug that was reported, fixed in
proposed-updates but not in updates. You need to add proposed updates,
and upgrade from them:

    sudo apt-add-repository 'deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-proposed main universe'
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get upgrade
