− | :{I might get flamed for this; I know I shouldn't post on a wiki like this, but no one will read the discussion: can we list a simple way of installing from jhbuild on Ubuntu 9.04 or installing from a PPA? Is 0.83 in the Ubuntu sugar PPA recent enough? How about installing from source (not git/jhbuild) and then adding an X session? With Ubuntu being the most popular Linux distribution, it is in the interest of this project to flesh out these details.}

| + | Note: only available for 64-bit systems, check that ''uname -i'' shows x86_64. |
− | * Go to https://launchpad.net/sucrose which represents all the Sugar components and activities supported in Ubuntu.
| |
− | * Click on the appropriate component at the bottom of the page. If in doubt, click "Sugar shell" which is the base Sugar component.
| |
− | * On the resulting page, scroll down to "Packages" and click on the hardy or intrepid package.
| |
− | * On the resulting page, click on the "Bugs" tab at the top of the page.
| |
− | * That takes you to a page listing known bugs on the package, and with a red "Report a bug" button.
| |
| | | |
− | Please include any relevant log files in a bug report: activity log files usually are named similarly to "org.laptop.Chat-1.log" (which is the log file for Chat). If you have run the activity multiple times in the current Sugar session, there will be Chat-2, Chat-3, etc so try to include the appropriate one.
