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].

Yeah... great!
If I got some spare time, I'll make sure to give it a try ;) It's just that my CPU isn't xen/kvm compatible, so I'll need to convert the applicane...
By the way: This may be a very well start for a possible sugar-based spin. I'm going to dig a little bit deeper into it :)

It was brought to my attention that the appliance above violates the Fedora Trademark guidelines since it mixes fedora and non-fedora (i.e Sugar) packages.
I have uploaded a new version with the appropriate packages removed, and references to Fedora removed as well [1]. The new kickstart file [2] includes the rebranding logic.

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.

It has been added to the new verison.

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 missed this from the kickstart files, and did not know where to look for the errors. Thanks for pointeres on both. It is in the new version.
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.
Where should these files be coming from? I looked in the sugar repos (http://dev.laptop.org/pub/sugar/fedora) and did not see anything obvious.
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/activities/Chat.activity but it doesn't have the 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)

How should I "see" the neighborhood?

Yeah, I cant either. How does that work in the real XO?

The list might be interested in the debugging environment variables available in ~olpc/.xsession.example, which can be used by uncommenting the desired ones, cp/mv to ~olpc/.xsession, and restarting X (at least in the OLPC distro, not sure about the Sugar Appliance).
Check

You should post the link for the file each time. There are people that might have just come on board.
Well I had to do chkconfig network on and start network to get a connection.
I wish you had gcc installed, I am running this on VirtualBox and I can't install the additions so that I can cut and paste things. :(
From: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/AttachingSugarLogsToTickets The file /home/olpc/.xsession-example contains other settings useful for debugging, you can copy individual lines from this or copy the entire file to /home/olpc/.xsession. Could you add the .xessions-example file?
Looks like browser is old need version 94.
I am seeing an error in WebActivity log: TypeError: promptForSaveToFile() takes exactly 5 arguments (6 given)
Installed Browser-94 and now it won't run, browser.py line 30, in <module> from hulahop.webview import lookup_view ImportError: cannot import name lookup_view

Yeah, Browse and xulrunner mismatch.
Installed Browser-94 and now it won't run, browser.py line 30, in <module> from hulahop.webview import lookup_view ImportError: cannot import name lookup_view
Looks like we have a too old hulahop in F9. Can somebody update the F9 branch? Not sure if there will be any problem with the xulrunner in there.
Also in JournalActivity log; File "/usr/share/sugar/activities/Journal.activity/volumestoolbar.py", line 123, in __init__ volume.icon_color) TypeError: __init__() takes exactly 1 argument (4 given)
That sounds like a too old sugar-journal to me, there's a newer one already built in F9, but maybe is still in testing. Do we have a volunteer for making sure that the set of Sugar packages in stable are coherent and more or less updated?
Thanks,
