Ubuntu 10.10 for PowerPC

UbuntuSugarRemix

As of December 2009, We started a total refactoring of how Sugar is packaged in Ubuntu.

Please See the Ubuntu Sugar Remix https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Sugar for the latest information.

The Sugar packages for Ubuntu provide a Sugar environment that is easy to install and can be configured as an X session in gdm or run in a window with sugar-emulator.

For some people the emulator mode has a serious bug where modifier keys get stuck. A work around is to disable keyboard repeat.

from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Sugar web page :

When the CD is ready, simply put it in your CD drive, restart your computer and follow the instructions that will appear on your screen. Don't forget that you can create more copies and pass the CD to as many people as you like.
For netbooks without a CD
Use System/Administration/"USB Startup Disk Creator" in a Ubuntu Desktop to Make an Installer USB. Use this USB to install USR on your netbook.
Boot from Hard Disk
  • Hint; to pull in the latest updates including activities: <ctrl> <alt> f5 will get terminal
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Use this browser Surf-115.xo: http://people.sugarlabs.org/Tgillard/Surf-115.xo (sugar-browse does not work)
To install Surf: download Surf-115.xo to a USB (outside of sugar); Start USR Insert this USB and drag-drop it into the USR sugar-journal.
  • Sugar is available as menu item Education/Sugar; but it is not full screen and not all of the Sugar screen is visible.
For Full Screen right click on menu item and save to desktop, then open properties of icon on desktop and change command to "sugar-emulator -f" (full screen option) Start Sugar from this icon...

Known Bugs:

  • 1-)
http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2534#comment:1
In f1 neighborhood if you make friend the avitars are repeated so there are 2 of all of them.
Fix is to use Control Panel (Drop Down:My Settings/About Me) to change color of Avitar then restart.
Friend remains but you only have 1 set of Avitars again

recommended method to install 10.04 Lucid

DEPRECIATED (01/05/2011 satellit)
Do new install of Ubuntu 9.10
press Alt + F2 and then type "update-manager -d" (without quotes). It will show you that a newversion of Ubuntu is available.
Click on Upgrade to upgrade your current Ubuntu 9.10

Lucid has Sugar 0.88, 0.86, and 0.84 packages synced from Debian.

The current preferred method of running Sugar on Ubuntu is via Ubuntu Sugar Remix which can be downloaded at http://people.sugarlabs.org/dfarning

Packages can also be install via sudo 

sudo apt-get install sugar-0.88   <possibly depreciated>

You can also install Ubuntu Sugar remix on a computer running Ubuntu 10.04. from UbuntuSugarRemix wiki: [4]01/28/2010 

 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sugarteam/ppa
 sudo apt-get upgrade
 sudo apt-get install ubuntu-sugar-remix

Reporting Bugs

Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuSugarRemix/Report for information on reporting bugs.

This is likely to be reimplemented as Lucid hits Feature Freeze The Ubuntu Sugar team will do their best to provide fixes for bugs, but it does take time to get an updated package uploaded through Ubuntu's Stable Release Updates process. Where possible we'll suggest a workaround, or provide a fix in the Sugar Team PPA first.

Sugar-0.88 on Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic)

NOTE If 0.86 ppa was used before, you'll have to clean it up (unfortunately 0.86 ppa uses epoch versions and couldn't be used with 0.88 one): 

sudo apt-get remove `dpkg-query -W -f '${package} ${maintainer}\n' | grep alsroot | awk '{print $1}'`
sudo sed -i '/alsroot.sugar-0.86/d' /etc/apt/sources.list

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install sugar-platform
