Sugar on a Stick - Mirabelle

a Sugar environment you can carry in your pocket

This document will provide instructions for preparing a Sugar on a Stick (SoaS) installation. It should contain a list of known issues and sources of further information, for example how to use a Boot Helper CD for very old PCs.

Testing and documentation assistance is welcome.

Fedora has hosted the build environment for this version of Sugar on a Stick. See this Fedora Sugar on a Stick Spin page for more information.

Download from this page.

See this wiki page for installation options.

Install, test, report

  • See Sugar on a Stick/Installation
    • Note that with larger images one may need to adjust the overlay or home folder size in order to fit the installation onto a 1-GB USB device (for example, with soas-x86_64-20101004.16.iso (503 MB), --home-size-mb 190 was needed), otherwise, the filesystem will get corrupted during the creation of the home folder as the disc space is exhausted.

This page is for QA activities related to Sugar on a Stick. We are currently testing the v.4.0 Mango Lassi release, so this page is a work in progress and may be rough.

Smoke tests

  • Boot: Test Matrix Does it boot? Can you choose a name and colors, and navigate through the Neighborhood/Friends/Home/Journal screens?
  • Neighborhood? Can you get on Jabber and see other Sugar users in your Neighborhood? (This also implies that your wifi or wired Network Connection works.)
  • Activity tests: For each Activity, the following criteria must be met:
    • The Activity starts from Home view.
    • You can perform a basic action in the Activity (for instance, loading a webpage in Browse, or joining a channel with IRC, or typing some words in Write.)
    • The Activity can be stopped via the button in the Frame.
    • The Activity session is saved in the Journal.
    • The Activity can be shared with other Sugar users in your Neighborhood.
    • Collaboration Test Reports: Collaboration
    • Activities tested to be compatible with Mango Lassi Activity Testing
