:''Debian is a free operating system (OS) for your computer. An operating system is the set of basic programs and utilities that make your computer run.'' -- [https://www.debian.org/ debian.org]

In relation to Sugar, Debian is a downstream distribution project that can be used to run Sugar.

== Using Sugar on Debian ==
  −
 
  −
There are no pre-built Debian images for Sugar.  Sugar is available in Debian.  To use Sugar in Debian:
  −
 
  −
* install Debian ''Jessie'' in the usual way, see [https://www.debian.org/ debian.org],
  −
* change <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt> to use the Debian ''Stretch'' testing release,
  −
sudo sed -i 's/jessie/stretch/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
  −
* update the package lists,
  −
sudo apt update
  −
* install Sugar,
  −
sudo apt install sucrose-0.104
  −
* 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.
  −
 
  −
== Testing Sugar on Debian ==
  −
 
  −
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 release.  This will change over time, as package version numbers are kept below Debian versions so that Debian packages will be installed by preference.

  −
How to add Sugar 0.105.3 (unstable) to a Debian ''Jessie'' system:
  −
* edit <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt> to add the OLPC archive,
  −
deb [trusted=yes] <nowiki>http://dev.laptop.org/pub/us</nowiki> stretch main
  −
* update the package lists,
  −
sudo apt update
  −
* install Sugar,
  −
sudo apt install sucrose-0.104 olpc-activities olpc-powerd- git- fakeroot- consolekit-
  −
* log out of your default desktop, and then log in with the Sugar desktop selected.
  −
 
  −
Note: only amd64 architecture is supported.  This removes the Abiword support for the Write activity on 32-bit systems.
  −
 
  −
== Packaging ==
  −
 
  −
Packaging of Sugar on Debian is done by a team:
  −
* [https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-sugar/ pkg-sugar project],
  −
* [https://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-sugar-devel pkg-sugar-devel mailing list],
  −
* [https://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-sugar-commit pkg-sugar-commit mailing list],
  −
* [https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-sugar/ pkg-sugar git repositories],
  −
* [http://debian.jones.dk/pkg/sugar_/ package archive of Jonas Smedegaard],
  −
 
  −
Sucrose packages are usually updated in the unstable release. These packages migrate to the testing release after a while. You can see the current package versions [http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=sugar&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all here].
  −
 
  −
Those interested in developing Sugar software should visit our [http://developer.sugarlabs.org/ developer documentation website].

Derivatives of Debian include:
  −
* [[Ubuntu]],
  −
* [[Raspbian]] for the Raspberry Pi.

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.
