I installed the Sugar packages in Ubuntu 10.4 Lucid native. Pippy,
Terminal, and Turtle Art started for me, but Read hung.

Pippy displayed the sample menu in too narrow a space to read. No
program controls were visible. I could scroll and edit programs, but
not run them.

Terminal executes basic Linux commands correctly.

I built some elementary Turtle Art programs, which executed correctly.

Synaptic says that I installed

flipsticks
jigsawpuzzle
logviewer
memorize
pollbuilder
sliderpuzzle

but they are nowhere to be seen within Sugar.

I should test xo-get, and see whether I can install Browse and thus
access Sugarlabs, or whether I can use the PPA packages.

Does anybody know whether this error message is significant?

I tried Sugar in several other distros in a VM before the Ubuntu
version became at all usable.
