Sugar won’t install by default. I have tried hitting tab and adding noreplace-paravirt to no avail 🙁
This is a screen dump of what I have..
Adding add vga=0x32D will boot me into the GUI but I have no mouse!
Adding i8042.noloop gives me a mouse!
How to do it:
Grab the ISO Image from http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Downloads
- Create a Virtual PC
- Set RAM to 256MB
- Mount Sugar ISO image
- Start up your Virtual PC
- A message will pop up saying “Automatic boot up in 1 second” – Hit TAB!
- You will see a line saying “vmlinuz0 initrd=initrd0.img root=CDLABEL=Soas2-200906221314 rootfstype=auto ro liveimg quiet rhbg”. Remove the last 2 words (quiet and rhbg)
- Add “vga=0x32D i8042.noloop” to the end of the line
The line should read…
vmlinuz0 initrd=initrd0.img root=CDLABEL=Soas2-200906221314 rootfstype=auto ro liveimg vga=0x32D i8042.noloop
*Note the CDLABEL value may change dependant on the release you use!
**Note Files will not be saved in this version, there will be no persistence so updates will not be saved either. This is not the case if you boot from a USB Key
Congrats – Working Sugar on a virtual PC 🙂
