You have an Ubuntu system and you wish to try Sugar?

  −

  From Lists: support-gang@laptop.org 07/15/2013
+
  sudo apt install sucrose
  −
I just wanted to give everyone a heads about something coming down the pipe:)
  −
On of the primary frustrations that I have been hearing from the
  −
community is their inability to easily get hardware for their
  −
deployments.
  −
In response, we have released of an iso running Sugar on Ubuntu at
  −
http://ubuntu.activitycentral.com/makeiso/iso/ubuntu_12.04-20130712_i686.iso
  −
* Username is "ubuntu", with empty password.
  −
As alway, AC's code is 100% free and open source.
  −
  −
===What's new===
  −
* Tuned up python-dbus clears the last bug that made most activities
  −
fail to start.
  −
* Logs in into Sugar automatically.
  −
* Most activities work (some will need some work, but it should not be
  −
caused by problems in Sugar dependencies anymore, but things specific
  −
to the activity). To be precise they start,  didn't test them in deeply
  −
  Didn't test collaboration yet.
  −
* General polish to make it look closer to a final product.
  −
===What fails===
  −
* Some quirks with the tamtam activities as usual, probably already
  −
fixed in newer bundles.
  −
* Write does not work as the gtk3 version of pyabiword or the gtk2
  −
version of libabiword are not available in Ubuntu, so both gtk2 and
  −
gtk3 versions of the activity are missing half of the dependencies.
  −
* Etoys and Scratch fail, probably because squeak-vm is not the proper
  −
version, so I'll be packaging that later as well.
  −
* The keyboard and network sections of the CP fail, the code makes
  −
some assumptions about being run in a xo or under fedora, resulting in
  −
unhandled exceptions.
  −
* Sometimes activities may fail to start if you open them right after
  −
logging in, because something with dbus is not yet fully running.

"We are trying to create a community like XSCE to support sugar on ubuntu."

* log in with the Sugar desktop selected.

<!-- last tested with Ubuntu 17.04 Zesty daily live image dated 2017-03-21 plus updates on 30th March 2017 -->
   −
As of 2012-03, Ubuntu does not have a complete, stable version of Sugar in the Ubuntu repositories.  In particular, there is no compatible web browser.
+
== Using Sugar inside another desktop environment ==
   −
Until this is fixed, try one of these options:
+
Sugar is a desktop environment.  For developers who use Ubuntu Unity or another desktop environment, Sugar can be run inside that environment as a window.
* use [[Sweets_Distribution|Sweets]] on Ubuntu, see [[#How_to_install_Sweets_on_Ubuntu|below]],
  −
* use a virtual appliance, compatible with any version of Ubuntu, see [[#How_to_install_a_virtual_appliance|below]],
  −
* use the incomplete version that Ubuntu provide, see the last section below, or
  −
* install from Sugar source.

==How to install '''Sugar 0.90''' on Ubuntu ==
+
One Laptop per Child has been curating Sugar 0.110 and Activities on the Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial operating system.  This build has entered production, and can be acquired through private negotiation or by ordering laptops from OLPC.
*'''NOT Recommended'''
     −
There are many problems with Sugar on Ubuntu (see [[/0.90|a list for 0.90]]), many of which have been fixed in a later version of Sugar, so we recommend the [[#How_to_install_Sweets_on_Ubuntu|Sweets]] or [[#How_to_install_a_virtual_appliance|virtual appliance]] methods above instead.
+
==OLPC Ubuntu Sugar 14.04 Trusty LTS ==
   −
In particular, there is no compatible web browser included, though there is a [[/0.90#Problem:_Browse_activity_does_not_work|workaround]].  
+
One Laptop per Child was curating Sugar and Activities on the Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty operating system, but support for this version has since ended.
