How to test Sugar 0.100

We have different ways of testing Sugar 0.100:

  • Using a testing image (available for all XO laptops models)
  • Using a 13.2.0 image and installing rpms.
  • Using sugar-build

Testing images

These images from OLPC Australia can be installed in an XO without security enabled.

updated on: 21 January 2014

XO-4: 33028xx4.zd (md5)

XO-1.75: 33028xx2.zd (md5)

XO-1.5: 33028xx1.zd (md5)

XO-1: 33028xx0.img 33028xx0.crc (md5)

clean install from USB drive: at firmware ok prompt: copy-nand u:\xxxxxxxx.img

The olpc-os-builder configuration used to create these images is here.

Installing Sugar 0.100 testing rpms

The first step is to install a 13.2.0 image, downloaded here.

The second step is to create a file /etc/yum.repos.d/au1b-updates.repo with the following contents: 

[au1b-updates]
name=au1b-udates
baseurl=http://harvest.one-education.org/public/au1b-updates/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

Later you need to run these commands: 

rpm -e sugar-update-control
yum update

If you want a fresh start, and do not care about LOSING EVERYTHING YOU HAVE IN YOUR JOURNAL, you can execute this command: 

rm -rf .sugar

And finally, restart your computer.

Using sugar-build

Detailed instructions to use sugar-build are here [1].

In addition to the new features described in the Sugar 100 release notes, these builds have some features being developed for the OLPC Australia deployment. These include the following:
