From IRC Aug 3 2013

<dfarning> You can download the new alpha image from
 +
<dfarning> http://ubuntu.activitycentral.com/makeiso/iso/ubuntu_12.04-20130730_i686.iso
 +
<dfarning> (md5 a91fb1e3b8bdc1c8bdea701702ef807c)
 +
<dfarning> In this release all control panel sections should work:
 +
<dfarning> - The keyboard section was failing because of libxklavier lacking the...
 +
...
 +
<dfarning> satellit_e:  Dextrose on Trisquel, the new toast, should be coming out this week or later for those who prefer 100% free :)
 +
 +
From Lists: support-gang@laptop.org 07/15/2013
 +
 +
I just wanted to give everyone a heads about something coming down the pipe:)
 +
On of the primary frustrations that I have been hearing from the
 +
community is their inability to easily get hardware for their
 +
deployments.
 +
In response, we have released of an iso running Sugar on Ubuntu at
 +
http://ubuntu.activitycentral.com/makeiso/iso/ubuntu_12.04-20130712_i686.iso
 +
* Username is "ubuntu", with empty password.
 +
As alway, AC's code is 100% free and open source.
 +
 +
===What's new===
 +
* Tuned up python-dbus clears the last bug that made most activities
 +
fail to start.
 +
* Logs in into Sugar automatically.
 +
* Most activities work (some will need some work, but it should not be
 +
caused by problems in Sugar dependencies anymore, but things specific
 +
to the activity). To be precise they start,  didn't test them in deeply
 +
  Didn't test collaboration yet.
 +
* General polish to make it look closer to a final product.
 +
===What fails===
 +
* Some quirks with the tamtam activities as usual, probably already
 +
fixed in newer bundles.
 +
* Write does not work as the gtk3 version of pyabiword or the gtk2
 +
version of libabiword are not available in Ubuntu, so both gtk2 and
 +
gtk3 versions of the activity are missing half of the dependencies.
 +
* Etoys and Scratch fail, probably because squeak-vm is not the proper
 +
version, so I'll be packaging that later as well.
 +
* The keyboard and network sections of the CP fail, the code makes
 +
some assumptions about being run in a xo or under fedora, resulting in
 +
unhandled exceptions.
 +
* Sometimes activities may fail to start if you open them right after
 +
logging in, because something with dbus is not yet fully running.
