I have put together a sugar desktop appliance [1], but I am not very familiar with the sugar desktop in order to adequately test it. I am looking for anyone who is willing to take a few minutes and give it a spin. The directions for xen/kvm are: 1) Download [1] 2) Untar and unzip it 3) run virt-image sugar.xml 4) At the fedora login, select "Autologin" You are good to go. If you would like to build it yourself, you can get build this with the appliance creator [2] using the kickstart file [3]. -- bk [1] http://sugar.s3.amazonaws.com/sugarAppliance.tar.gz [2] http://www.thincrust.net/tooling.html [3] http://sugar.s3.amazonaws.com/sugar.ks

I pulled it into VirtualBox and it boots okay and I can login to sugar. But that is about it. Wish you had the log activity.

Also the only chat server I have been able to get to work is xochat.org, and that is what the livecd has on it. I can't get any of the Activities to run. Looking at Terminal log I see: File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/sugar/activity/activity.py", line 59, in <module> Import json importError: No module named json

I installed http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/9/Everything/i38 6/os/Packages/python-json-3.4-3.fc9.noarch.rpm And now terminal works :) And looks like browser also works. Looks like chat is broken because it can't find locale/de/activity.linfo for most languages.

Well at least Terminal works in the new version. Also networking wasn't working for me last time and still isn't. I had to run chkconfig network on. Chkconfig iptables off Chkconfig ip6tables off

Have the browser working, but still can't see the neighborhood.

And you can't download anything with the browser either.

It looks like chat is still missing the locale directory. On my box I have: /home/jwilliam/Sugar/sugar-jhbuild/install/share/sugar/activities/Chat.activ ity And it has a locale directory. You have /usr/share/sugar/act

locale directory.

Also I have noticed the liveCD has /home/olpc and I know that Pacman has that path hard coded in it, so it will only run if the home directory is /home/olpc.

And it has /home/olpc/Activities and all of the activities including Chat are in there. When I look at the logs in /home/sugar/.sugar/default/logs Looks like journal has an issue with a volume button. /usr/share/sugar/activities/Journal.activity/volumestool.py line 123, in __init__ volume.icon_color)

Hope this helps, Jerry Williams > -----Original Message----- > From: Bryan Kearney [mailto:bkearney@redhat.com] > Sent: Tuesday, July 29, 2008 10:56 AM > To: Jerry Williams > Cc: fedora-olpc-list(a)redhat.com > Subject: Re: [Fedora-olpc-list] Re: Looking for Testers: Sugar Appliance > > Thank you for testing.
