== Using Sugar 0.110 on Debian ==
   −
There are no pre-built Debian images for Sugar. Sugar is available in Debian.  To use Sugar in Debian:
+
Sugar 0.110 is available in Debian ''Stretch'':
   −
* install Debian ''Jessie'' in the usual way, see [https://www.debian.org/ debian.org],
+
* install Debian ''Stretch'' in the usual way, see [https://www.debian.org/ debian.org], and [https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch/debian-installer/ debian-installer],
* change <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt> to use the Debian ''Stretch'' testing release,
+
* when asked mid-way through install what to include, deselect all,
sudo sed -i 's/jessie/stretch/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
+
* when the install has completed, log in, install Sugar, a display manager, and reboot,
* update the package lists,
+
  sudo apt install sucrose lightdm
sudo apt update
+
  exec sudo reboot
* install Sugar,
+
* in the graphical login screen, change from the default X session to Sugar,
  sudo apt install sucrose-0.104
+
* log in as your non-root user, created during install.
* start a display manager or reboot,
  −
  sudo service gdm3 start
  −
* log in with the Sugar desktop selected.
     −
We use the testing ''Stretch'' release because Sugar is not in the current stable ''Jessie'' release, as it was not ready. But this has been fixed.
+
Known bugs include;
 +
* [https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=848841 848841] journal view multiple select does not show actions toolbar,
 +
* Browse busy cursor may get stuck on.

== Testing Sugar on Debian ==
+
== Pre-built Images ==
   −
One Laptop per Child has been curating Sugar and Activities that can be used on Debian, and are in some cases more recent than the Debian ''Jessie'' stable release, or the Debian ''Stretch'' testing releaseThis will change over time, as package version numbers are kept below Debian versions so that Debian packages will be installed by preference.
+
There are few pre-built Debian images for Sugar, and the tools available in Debian make this easy for any integration or deployment teamThere's no need for us to duplicate documentation here.

How to add Sugar 0.105.1 (unstable) to an Debian ''Jessie'' system:
+
See also https://wiki.debian.org/SugarBlend for one method and an image.

This was my workaround to this problem:
  −
  −
1. /etc/apt/sources.list
  −
  −
  deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
  −
  deb-src ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
  −
  −
2. update the package database
  −
  −
  sudo apt-get update
  −
  −
3. download the source code
  −
  −
  cd /tmp
  −
  mkdir pygobject
  −
  apt-get source python-gi
  −
  −
4. install dependencies
  −
  −
  sudo apt-get build-dep python-gi
  −
  sudo apt-get install python-gobject-2-dbg
  −
  −
5. compile python-gi
  −
  −
  cd pygobject-3.2.0
  −
  wget -c http://mkaufmann.com.ar/~humitos/olpc/pygi-d37680bb9390426f7f58ea3d352c3e5e2106e978_modified.patch
  −
  git apply pygi-d37680bb9390426f7f58ea3d352c3e5e2106e978_modified.patch
  −
  dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b
  −
  −
6. install compiled packages
  −
  −
  sudo dpkg -i ../*.deb
  −
  −
Now, when I run "./sugar-jhbuild run sugar-emulator" I can see the
  −
icons and the toolbar properly.
  −
== Testing ==
  −
Where Debian is installed via the Debian installer or virtual machine, Sugar has been reported to run nicely.
  −
:Sugar 0.88.0 works nicely in Debian squeeze.
  −
Low footprint versions (eg no Gnome Display Manager) with SLiM and Openbox only, are reported [[User:Inkyfingers/Debian | in this link]] to cause a problem.
