| |
| − | 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.
