Talk:Raspbian

Testing on a RPi3 with a fresh install of Jessie. Installed sucrose and /usr/share/xsession/sugar.desktop looks fine, but not option to select Sugar Desktop when I try to login (no option of any sort). --Walter (talk) 08:33, 31 December 2016 (EST)

Found a panel for manually setting the desktop session. After logging out and logging back in, I got the color selector, gender selector, and a broken grade selector. Then everything switched back to the default desktop manager, but the Sugar cursor remained loaded :) Sugar is somewhere on the machine; but getting to it remains a challenge. --Walter (talk) 12:01, 31 December 2016 (EST)

Tried running Turtle Art from the shell and from the Education menu: Seg Fault. --Walter (talk) 08:33, 31 December 2016 (EST)

Started from scratch and got some unmet dependencies when trying to 'sudo apt install sucrose':

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt install sucrose
Reading package lists... Done

 You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
 The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 sonic-pi : Depends: libQt5printsupport5 but it is not installable

 E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Ran:

sudo apt-get -f install
sudo apt install sucrose

Then:

echo sugar >> .xsession

Logged out and back in and Sugar is running.

Turtle works; Browse fails due to no module collabwrapper.

But it is a start :) --Walter (talk) 17:40, 31 December 2016 (EST)

Thanks for testing. It is a moving target; I didn't get what you saw. Retested today;

• Browse fail to start is 848840 caused by missing file when Jonas added collabwrapper. A new release of Browse might help.

• Physics fails to start, box2d_arm7 not present.

• Write shows black screen. Since fixed in 842443 and waiting for abiword 3.0.2-2 to arrive in Raspbian.

• Jukebox fails to start; the `import player` invokes the Python Image Library instead. Tracked at 554906 and I've since *avoided* the problem in c913a7b.

The cursor change is Sugar changing the settings for the user instead of maintaining separate settings for the user and Sugar combined. I've prototyped a fix with a split-brained GSettings backend.
