Testing on a RPi3 with a fresh install of Jessie. Installed sucrose and /usr/share/xsession/sugar.desktop looks fine, but not option to select Sugar Desktop when I try to login (no option of any sort). --Walter (talk) 08:33, 31 December 2016 (EST)
Found a panel for manually setting the desktop session. After logging out and logging back in, I got the color selector, gender selector, and a broken grade selector. Then everything switched back to the default desktop manager, but the Sugar cursor remained loaded :) Sugar is somewhere on the machine; but getting to it remains a challenge. --Walter (talk) 12:01, 31 December 2016 (EST)
Tried running Turtle Art from the shell and from the Education menu: Seg Fault. --Walter (talk) 08:33, 31 December 2016 (EST)
Started from scratch and got some unmet dependencies when trying to 'sudo apt install sucrose':
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt install sucrose
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
sonic-pi : Depends: libQt5printsupport5 but it is not installable
sucrose : Depends: sugar-session
Depends: python-carquinyol
Depends: sugar-chat-activity
Depends: sugar-browse-activity
Depends: sugar-read-activity but it is not going to be installed

E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
Ran:
sudo apt-get -f install sudo apt install sucrose
Then:
echo sugar >> .xsession
Logged out and back in and Sugar is running.
Turtle works; Browse fails due to no module collabwrapper.
But it is a start :) --Walter (talk) 17:40, 31 December 2016 (EST)
- Thanks for testing. It is a moving target; I didn't get what you saw. Retested today;
- Browse fail to start is 848840 caused by missing file when Jonas added collabwrapper. A new release of Browse might help.
- Physics fails to start, box2d_arm7 not present.
- Write shows black screen. Since fixed in 842443 and waiting for abiword 3.0.2-2 to arrive in Raspbian.
- The cursor change is Sugar changing the settings for the user instead of maintaining separate settings for the user and Sugar combined. I've prototyped a fix with a split-brained GSettings backend.
