NOTE: The current Ubuntu version uses the previous version of Sugar 0.90. Collaboration is broken

  • Install package 'sucrose-0.90' with apt or Ubuntu Software Center.
  • Only comes with pippy and turtleart
  • You'll need to install the remaining individual activities by downloading them from http://activities.sugarlabs.org/ and installing each within a terminal:
sugar-install-bundle activity.xo
  • To turn off screensaver and power management:
terminal:
xset s off
xset -dpms
