<div dir="ltr">Hi all! I'm responding with an update and some thanks for James... James, your "~quozl" deb package repo worked great with Ubuntu 20.04. It allowed me to install newer Sugar on a Dell Mini 1012 laptop for my daughter to play with. So thanks again! I've also had success building Sugar from source using the "v.0117" git tag you mentioned. I have another laptop with a 32bit processor so I've been building on Debian 10.4 and Ubuntu 18 (since 20.04 doesn't run on 32bit machines). Using what I've found in the sugar-live-build repo, I finally have a build script that works. My gist for building under Debian is here: <a href="https://gist.github.com/alanszlosek/8eb03f5a3915e1e48fee61531e369355">https://gist.github.com/alanszlosek/8eb03f5a3915e1e48fee61531e369355</a> I did find a very odd difference between Debian and Ubuntu that I felt important to point out .... On my Debian build, when Sugar starts up and "takes inventory" of the installed activities, it expects "locale/en_US.UTF-8" to exist in each activity folder. On Ubuntu 18, the encoding isn't part of the expected path, so it only looks for "locale/en_US" which seems correct. Any idea what's going on here?</div> <div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, May 14, 2020 at 8:17 PM James Cameron <<a href="mailto:quozl@laptop.org">quozl@laptop.org</a>> wrote: </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">G'day Alan, I don't know if HEAD of the four repositories will work together at the moment. I only make sure of that during release. I'm unaware of anyone else making that check for me. 0.117 was the most recent release on 17th March. There's a v0.117 tag in each repository. My guess is that a required dependency is missing. We don't have a complete list of dependencies in the source, but downstream packagers do have complete lists. Check shell.log again after stopping the Jarabe process, or a reboot. The logs are buffered. Check also datastore.log after allowing time for the Datastore process to timeout, or a reboot. If you had previously installed the Ubuntu 18 package sucrose, then you will have Python 2 dependencies for Sugar and Datastore. These are insufficient for 0.117 as it builds with Python 3. I was able to build on Ubuntu 18 but I needed to make custom builds of several of the dependencies that weren't available. I suggest Ubuntu 20.04, using my packages; 1. add this to /etc/apt/sources.list deb [trusted=yes arch=amd64] <a href="http://dev.laptop.org/~quozl/.us" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://dev.laptop.org/~quozl/.us</a> focal main 2. sudo apt update 3. sudo apt install olpc-ubuntu-sugar On Thu, May 14, 2020 at 07:20:35AM -0400, Alan W Szlosek Jr wrote: > I've checked out, built and installed sugar (all 4 repos: sugar, datastore, > artwork, toolkit) on Ubuntu 18.
