NEXT Ubuntu Sugar Team MEETING:
TBA #ubuntu-sugarteam (details)

Install

Use cases follow. If you don't already have Ubuntu running, you should consider installing Ubuntu in a VM.

Use Case I: Laptop Already Running Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid)

Start-up

Actions

  • Boot the XO

  • Press the image:Mesh_key_f1_small.png‎ button to navigate to the Neighborhood, this is where you connect to wireless networks and other XO's in your classroom.

  • Join the "RIT" (Unsecured) wireless network.
  • Verify you are not connected to a Mesh network. (See the third note below.)

Notes

  • The XO boots into Sugar, the XO's Fedora Linux-based operating system.

  • The XO will connect properly to a WEP or WPA enabled AP. However, The XO's are unable to see the WPA network SSID on RIT's campus.
  • XOs are able to simultaneously connect to both a mesh network as well as an access point. Because of special ad-hoc mitigation on RIT's network, this functionality is currently unavailable. Therefore, you must always ensure you are using only one of the interfaces while on campus.
  • * Point the mouse into any corner of the screen to show the Frame. Towards the right, next to the power indicator, you will see the currently active connections.

Connect to the Internet, Download and Use IRC

Actions

  • Go back to "Home view" using the Home button: image:OLPC_Home_Key_F3.png

  • <u>Single</u> click the globe icon image:browse_activity.png to open Browse. Check your e-mail, perform a Google search, etc.

  • (There is no double clicking in Sugar. Double clicking can launch two instances of an Activity, which will be confusing and consume precious memory.)

  • Navigate to http://activities.sugarlabs.org search for and download the irc client.

  • Use the Frame Journal icon, image:Journal.jpg, to open the Journal. It is a datastore browser and record of everything that occurs with Sugar.

  • When it is finished downloading, click the image:Olpc_irc.png icon and the IRC activity will start and be put in your activity list.

  • IRC is set to automatically connect to irc.freenode.net and join the channels #olpc-help and #sugar. Feel free to introduce yourself in the #sugar channel or ask for help in #olpc-help.

Verify

  • The file downloads from the browser.
  • The Activity is installed, and its icon shows up in the Frame.
  • The Activity loads.

Playing an .ogg file in Browse

Actions

  • Click on the Browse Activity in the Frame to switch to it and type "ogg samples" in the Google search bar.
  • Click on the first link.

  • The file is played.

  • Download the sudoku Activity bundle (sudoku.activity.xo) <!the sudoku bundle doesn't even work on Build 653 -- see bug #5839 -- perhaps try another activity instead? --chihyu>

  • Copy this to a FAT-filesystem USB key.
  • Put the USB key into the XO.
  • Go to the Journal and click on the USB key icon.
  • Type "sud" in the search window. Find the sudoku.activity item, and click on it.

  • Resuming the bundle, installs the Activity and runs it.

  • * The Activity bundle should be unzipped in /home/olpc/Activities (that's what is meant by installed) <!due to bug [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/5839 #5839], /home/olpc/Activities won't even exist if there are no other activities installed prior to the test --[http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:chihyu|chihyu])-->
