Supported versions

Ubuntu is currently unsupported because all recent versions lack at least one important package (python-xpcom).

Prerequisites

In order to install sugar-jhbuild, you need git-core and subversion.

Installing dependencies

After installing and updating sugar-jhbuild according to the common instructions, you can use this invocation to install all dependencies automatically:

./sugar-jhbuild depscheck -s | sudo xargs aptitude -y install

Significant bugs

• broken D-Bus security configuration that prevents sugar-emulator from working (because Xephyr cannot work).
• sugar-emulator doesn't work properly if the X server uses evdev as keyboard driver (because of a Xephyr bug).
• python-xpcom missing (and thus Browse cannot work)

Potential pitfalls

• gtk-recordmydesktop may prevent sugar-emulator from working properly
