Consequently, ''outside the chroot'', we need to − − sudo mount --bind /var/run/dbus $CHROOT/var/run/dbus − − before entering the chroot. (Mock uses unshare() to enter a new mount-point namespace since this makes garbage collection of mountpoints much easier.) − − − − We need to point Sugar at an X server. One easy (but insecure) way to do this is to make a nested X server like so, ''outside the chroot'': − − Xephyr -ac :1 -screen 800x600x24 − − See the talk page for more secure alternatives. − − === Running Sugar === − − Then, inside the chroot, you can happily run sugar as user 'sugar' with something like − − sudo chroot $CHROOT /bin/bash -l − su sugar - − export DISPLAY=:1 − export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=$(dbus-daemon --session --print-address --fork) − sugar

As excerpted from the '''[http://dev.laptop.org/git/users/mstone/sugar-chroot/plain/README README]''':
sugar-chroot consists of simple scripts. Download and unpack them like so:
NV=sugar-chroot-0.1

cd $NV
To use them, pick a supported distro:
==== Fedora rawhide chroot ====
DISTRO=debian
DISTRO=fedora
To configure:
echo $DISTRO > conf/distro
$EDITOR conf/$DISTRO.mk
Then run
sudo make r/distro
to install your chroot.
