Note that due to a [https://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/342 bug in Xephyr] your keyboard might not work as expected. A partial workaround is to run <code>setxkbmap <keymap name></code> by adding this command line to <code>~/.sugar/debug</code>. Most "regular" keys should work fine after that, some "special keys" (e.g. cursor up/down) might still refuse to operate as intended.

== Running sugar in a VNC session ==
Many users and developers have reported problems with running sugar-emulator because it uses Xephyr. As an alternative, you can run sugar in a VNC session. To accomplish this create a <code>~/.vnc/xstartup</code> file containing the code below:
#!/bin/sh
exec ~/sugar-jhbuild/sugar-jhbuild run dbus-launch --exit-with-session sugar
Note: The above code assumes that sugar-jhbuild is installed in the <code>~/sugar-jhbuild/</code> directory.
Now, you may run Sugar by creating a VNC session and accessing it using a VNC viewer. E.g.:
vncserver :1
vncviewer :1

./sugar-jhbuild run sugar-emulator --dimensions 1200x900
./sugar-jhbuild run sugar-emulator --dimensions 832x624
The default size of 800x600 is currently the minimum that should work without issues. I.e. activities should be tested to work in this mode (and in others as well).
The default size of 800x600 is currently the minimum that should work without issues. I.e., activities should be tested to work in this mode (and in others as well). 832x624 approximates the display proportions of the XO laptops, closely matching the toolbar, for example.

== Dual-Booting F17 and F14 ==
=== Install F17, using a LiveUSB. This would erase all the previous existing OSes (if any). ===
* Start "Install to Hard Drive".
* Choose "Use the entire space", with "Use LVM" UNCHECKED. Note that this is important, since using the LVM option prevents the drive to be partitioned later for the two Fedoras.
* When asked for bootloader-installation position, choose "MBR in /dev/sda".
* Installation should complete successfully.
=== Re-install F17, using a LiveUSB (but this time on a dedicated partition) ===
* Start "Install to Hard Drive".
* Choose "Create Custom Layout".
* Delete "dev/sda4" (extended-partition-root). This should also automatially delete "/dev/sda5" (extended-partition-leaf).
* Now, select on the "Free" chunk (mine was 500 GB).
** Click "Edit".
** Select "/" as the mount-point.
** Choose an appropriate space (I chose 300 GB).
** Click "OK".
** This sould create "/dev/sda4" as the extended-partition-root, and "/dev/sda5" (worth 300 GB of space) as extended-partition-leaf.
* Click "Next".
* When asked for bootloader-installation position, choose "MBR in /dev/sda".
* Installation should complete successfully.
=== Install F14, using a LiveUSB (on a dedicated partition) ===
* Start "Install to Hard Drive".
* Choose "Create Custom Layout".
* Now, select on the "Free" chunk (mine was about 175 GB).
** Click "Edit".
** Select "/" as the mount-point.
** Choose an appropriate space (I chose 175 GB).
** Click "OK".
** This sould create "/dev/sda6" as the extended-partition-leaf.
* Click "Next".
* When asked for bootloader-installation position, choose "First sector of /dev/sda6".
* Installation should complete successfully.
=== Enabling dual-boot ===
* At the moment, with all LiveUSBs removed, I was able to boot into F17 only. I could not see any option to boot into F14.
* Boot into F17.

* Now, in the originally opened "/etc/grub2.cfg", add the entry for boot-option for Fedora-14. Take note that
** Replace the UUID, with the UUID of F14 partition (as seen from contents of "qq/boot/grub/menu.lst".
** The arguments to "initrd" should of the initramfs of F14 (As seen from the output of '''ls qq/boot''').
** '''hd0,msdos5''' (corresponding to "/dev/sda5" for F17) is replaced by '''hd0,msdos6''' (corresponding to "/dev/sda6" for F14).
** Finally, the command '''kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686 ro root=UUID=333b5104-4f4a-41d9-856a-c7802677bec0 rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us rhgb quiet''' (as seen in '''qq/boot/grub/menu.lst''', used to boot up kernel vis F14's grub) is replaced by '''linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.35.6-45.fc14.i686 ro root=UUID=333b5104-4f4a-41d9-856a-c7802677bec0 rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_LVM rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us rhgb quiet''' (in '''/etc/grub2.cfg''', since we intend to boot F14 via F17's grub2).
