Bug#586243: no Sugar working decent in Squeeze
The package Educational-Desktop-Sugar in Squeeze is as buggy as the other packages of Sugar in Debian, activities don't start. After an aptitude upgrade of Debian Squeeze having Educational-Desktop-Sugar installed there is no more GUI interface to login with Gnome, Gdm doesn´t appear any more. There are no decent working Sugar packages in Squeeze, Virtualbox is buggy in Squeeze, Qemu is too slow... There are not much alternatives left.
Bug#586243: education-desktop-sugar: please remove this package, it's outdated and confuses users
I tried yesterday all sucrose packages (0.84, 0.86 0.88) installed with dependencies from Debian Squeeze repos and Synaptic with Squeeze full updated and not updated. They work remote butFail to start most activities. I tried the same with sucrose package in Lenny, it did the same. Trying to install backported packages sucrose 0.88 from Sugar-Debian Team gives me warnings about dependencies not accomplished and possible conflicts -impossible to install- Jhbuilds in Sugarlabs site have warnings about conflicts in Debian. Only Educational-Desktop-Sugar in Lenny seems to work nearly right has for children too little font size and no instruction for solving it. It´s a pitty because Debian is a fine and light distro. I recommend to take a look maybe I am doing something wrong (?). - Original Message - From: Sascha Silbe sascha-debian-bugs-education-desktop-sugar-2010-06...@silbe.org To: Andreas Tille andr...@an3as.eu; 586...@bugs.debian.org Sent: Monday, June 28, 2010 8:35 AM Subject: Bug#586243: education-desktop-sugar: please remove this package, it's outdated and confuses users -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#586243: education-desktop-sugar: please remove this package, it's outdated and confuses users
In Lenny I could have multiple sessions of Sugar with rdesktop but had to install all Sugar packages and the presentation of Lenny changed to Debian Edu. In Squeeze it changed too but I never could share Sugar with rdesktop. Accessing Sugar from desktop terminals or thinstations is important, please don`t forget it while removing packages. - Original Message - From: Sascha Silbe sascha-debian-bugs-education-desktop-sugar-2010-06...@silbe.org To: Debian Bug Tracking System sub...@bugs.debian.org Sent: Thursday, June 17, 2010 12:46 PM Subject: Bug#586243: education-desktop-sugar: please remove this package, it's outdated and confuses users Package: education-desktop-sugar Severity: important Please remove education-desktop-sugar from sid/squeeze. It depends on obsolete package names and confuses users. The description suggests this is what to install to get a complete Sugar installation on a desktop, whereas it will actually install the Debian Edu suite (+ Sugar). One user even reported it will hose your boot (the system hung part-way through the boot process - unfortunately no more details are available as he was in a hurry and overwrote the installation with Fedora afterwards in order to get a working Sugar installation). -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31.6-xo1.5-2-00364-g7317f88 (PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-edu-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
