[Sugar-devel] Greetings from Sugar Labs DC!

[Christian Faris]

Hello James,

Thank you for the directions on installing Sugar on Buster. I can 
confirm that sugar is able to boot and the installation was a success. 
One critical note i should mention is that installing sucrose before 
installing sugar creates several issues where you can't install any 
packages. I found fix where you install all of sugar's applications 
first before sucrose. Bellow is my edited version.

/Please install Raspbian Buster, then;//
//
//- add to /etc/apt/sources.list file this line;//
//
//deb [arch=armhf trusted=yes] http://people.sugarlabs.org/~quozl/rb 
buster main//
//
//- run "sudo apt update",//
//
//- run "sudo apt install 
sugar-{abacus,browse,calculate,chart,chat,clock,develop,finance,findwords,fototoon,fractionbounce,gears,imageviewer,implode,jukebox,letters,log,maze,measure,memorize,moon,music-keyboard,paint,physics,pippy,poll,portfolio,read,record,speak,stopwatch,story,terminal,words,write}-activity"//
//
//- run "sudo apt install sucrose",//
//
//- choose Sugar for restart by adding a file//
//
//  echo sugar > .xsession//
//
//- restart the Raspberry pi./


Thanks you,

Christian "Chip" Faris

I believe James Cameron has some current Sugar packages for Debian he may be able/willing to share with you. We are actually in need of someone to take over packaging of the Sugar packages in Debian. Is that something you might be interested in helping us with?

I am helping out a student who has a capstone project of helping Sugar Labs DC to use Sugar on Debian Buster. The GitHub for installing Sugar on Debian Buster has not updated in quite sometime. Since most of the hardware we have (mainly raspberry pi 3B+ and 4) run Debian Buster, I wonder if there is a way to install Sugar on Debian Buster as this will be a huge help with labs and events for our elementary and early childhood education students.
