Over the weekend I got Sugar running under Ubuntu on my PowerPC (Mac PowerBook G4), but have run into several issues that I'm hoping to find some leads on. I tried searching the olpc tickets, but didn't find anything. I've put each one in it's own thread. Let me know if there's somewhere else I should be posting this type of stuff.
#1: My biggest concern out of the box is the web browser is missing. The icon is there, but when I click I don't get a browser. When I tried the vanilla './sugar-jhbuild' it gave me a dependency warning about xul<something> 1.8/1.9, but when I did './sugar-jhbuild build-base' it only got stuck on ALSA Midi support for Squeak and consequently on EToys. I'm not that worried about EToys, but not having the browser is major for me. The News Reader is failing in the same way as the web browser, but that's less of a concern for me personally. I'm guessing this has something to do with the 'Network manager service not found.' message, but have no idea how to fix it. The output in the log is: INFO - Hardware manager service not found. INFO - Network manager service not found.
