== Running sugar-emulator in a VNC session ==
 +
 +
Many users and developers have reported problems with running sugar-emulator in xephyr. As an alternatice, you can run sugar emulator inside a VNC session. To accomplish this, install any generic vncviewer package and create a <code>~/.vnc/xstartup</code> file containing the code below:
 +
<pre>
 +
#!/bin/sh
 +
exec ~/sugar-jhbuild/sugar-jhbuild run dbus-launch --exit-with-session sugar
 +
</pre>
 +
Now, you may run sugar-emulator by creating a generic VNC session and accessing it using a VNC viewer.
