Requirement Gnome?

Comparison of these two reports

Testing/Reports/Sweets on Debian Wheezy and Testing/Reports/Sweets on Gnome Debian Wheezy

would suggest improvements can be made to wording in Debian section of Platform Team/Guide/Sugar via Sweets#Supported distributions --Inkyfingers 06:57, 16 July 2012 (EDT)

Installing sweets-sugar from Fedora 16 GNOME 3 Terminal

12/03/2011 satellit
  • Log of what I found
With much help from alsroot

Installation

  • Zero Install (thus, Sweets') workflow requires having Internet connection
Once the system is built; it is cached locally so it will start without rebuilding
Default is sugar 0.88.1
35px-Activity-write.png
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 
sh installer.sh
  • Restart (to reset dbus)
  • Install GPG Key (as PK does not install it.)
Installing in XFCE Beta TC1 x86-64 install is this next section still needed? --Satellit 18:05, 12 March 2012 (EDT)
I did it and no GPG Key was requested
yum install pygobject2-devel
packages will be installed... 1 + 3 dependencies  asks for gpg key and I said Y

Software update in 0.94 offers 39 updates (installs new activities)
this seems a nice workaround for lack of activities in sweets-sugar

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.


Installing Sugar via sweets - in Mint-12

17/12/2011 by inkyfingers

Host environment: Mint-12 installed three days prior to start from:linuxmint-12-gnome-cd-nocodecs-32bit.

Testing Mint-12 over three days, it is fairly sound, but some freezing when using Firefox 8. I wait 10 seconds for unfreeze, no crashes.

My machine: http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_98841a4d-b674-4a44-804b-d7cee2872a09

Now there is a three day gap - I learn that the sweet "base/x11-libs" had a bug found in Mint.

Now use -R option to refresh.

However this produces Sugar in a window.

Testing Sugar in a window

The product of this command under Mint-12 in GUI xterm: sweets -R sdk/sugar:emulator

Title bar reads: Sugar in a window

Build: Linux Mint 12 Lisa
Sugar: 0.94.1
Firmware: 6.00 PG

Very first screen: icon colour change.

Home view: Favourites view and list view appear, are empty

F1 names of neighbours 'show on hover'

From configuration screen

About me, offers to colour change fine. Has correctly taken my name from Host.
Frame adjust seems to work - asks for restart as expected. I respond - Later.
Keyboard sttings changed and tested ok
Hit software Updates ckecking for updates. Updating appears - no obvious activity in 7 seconds. Hit cancel.
No updating seems to start.
Date & time: Able to select TZ, asks for restart, I respond: Later.

Function keys F1 to F6 all work - Journal appears.

USB device, (which was inserted pre-start) is visible,

Relationship between Host environment - typing this - and Sugar in a window is absoutely predictable, ok.

  • In Host environment,the original xterm window: last 3 lines are now:
   ls: cannot access /usr/lib*/xulrunner-1.*: No such file or directory
   Window manager warning: Invalid WM_TRANSIENT_FOR window 0xc003bd specified for 0
   Window manager warning: Invalid WM_TRANSIENT_FOR window 0xc02eda specified for 0

Use Firefox on Host environment to download to USB flashdrive.

Download: http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/Surf-115.xo. Save to USB flashdrive.

Download from Aslo: Browse-129.xo and Terminal-35.xo. Save to USB flashdrive,

  • In Sugar in a window:

Start Software update: checking for updates ... no activity, 5 mins.

Drag and drop Browse-129.xo and Terminal-35.xo and Surf-115.xo from flashdrive to Journal.

Activities appear in F3 Home view, List,

Click Browse, flashing icon ... reports, fails to start.

Click Surf, flashing icon ... reports 'Surf failed to start.'

Click Terminal, flashing icon and starts. 

uname -a - ok
  • Download using Host environment: moon-13.xo and irc-10.xo. Save to USB flashdrive.
  • In Sugar in a window:

Drag and drop from flashdrive to Journal, moon-13.xo and irc-10.xo

Click Moon, flashing icon and starts ok.

Click IRC, flashing icon and starts ok. tx out appears to work.

Close the host environment terminal.

End of test.
NOTE the above was carried out without the benefit of -S switch.

Testing Xephyr

Immediately follows the above.

The product of this command under Mint-12 in GUI xterm: sweets dextrose/sugar:emulator

Title bar reads: Xephyr on :30.0

Build: Linux Mint 12 Lisa
Sugar: 0.88.1

PS Note this test is without benefit of -S switch.

F1 to F6 work - pre-existing journal is intact.

Terminal starts - simple commands work.

About my computer: Sugar 0.88.1

Keyboard settings survived.

Pre-existing downloaded Activites are in Home View.

Click irc, flashing icon, starts. Test tx in and out ok.

Click Surf-115.xo, flashing icon, starts, is online.

Write appears in journal. Right click, resume, - flashing icon, but reports fails to start.

Using Surf, download Sugar file manager.

Successful and Sugar File manager starts and works.

Attempt to download Write again.

Write icon in Home View, Click Write,- flashing icon - reports, 'fail to start'

Back to Host environment

xterm output is as follows. ie this is the last few lines of the traceback which launched the test in progress.

Extended test: Two sweets running at once!

Note this is not good practice, its a bit like riding a bike with no hands, showing off and might result in breakage.

With Xephyr on :30.0 running on desktop 4.
