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

https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/24/Fedora-24-20160504.0/compose/Everything/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Everything-netinst-x86_64-24_Beta-1.6.iso
look for Software selection in installer then choose sugar desktop environment
  • Checksum:
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/24/Fedora-24-20160504.0/compose/Everything/x86_64/iso/

or use in another f24 Desktop Environment:

"dnf groupinstall sugar-desktop-environment"
"dnf install sugar-runner webkitgtk3
(webkitgtk3 is required for sugar to work in f24)
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1363915#c18

sugar-runner only works in GNOME on Xorg

sugar-desktop works in GNOME as separate login

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.
