Official EAC Ubuntu install instructions.

These specs were tested on a 600 MHz machine with 256 MB of RAM.

There should be a usb key floating around the shop with the label “UBU”.

That key has the installation scripts, and the Scratch tarball.

The steps outlined here will install everything + Scratch.

1. If you have the USB key, put it into the computer.
   • If we've lost the install script, the script can be re-created using the packages in the Ubuntu Packages section, and you'll need to re-create the Scratch install script from the Scratch Stuff section if we've lost that as well
2. Go to the terminal, and cd to /media/Lexar
3. Run ./copy_scripts.sh
   • All the stuff on the USB key will be copied to the hidden ~/.bworks directory
4. Type cd ~/.bworks
   • You can now unmount the USB key
5. Type ./install_both.sh – Do not use sudo.
   • The first few steps will require user interaction.
   • After you answer about 3 questions, you can let the script run.
6. Follow up with the next sections, and stop when you get to Appendix

• Put scratch in the GNOME toolbar by dragging/dropping the icon from the desktop to the toolbar.
• Go to System → Preference → Main Menu, and put Scratch in the “Programming” menu by dragging the icon from the desktop.
• Delete desktop icon!

• Double-click the new Scratch icon, and make sure that it starts up in a reasonable amount of time.
• Go to File…Open
• You should see a folder called “NatesFavoriteScratchPrograms”.
• Open the folder.
• Select the 1st program called “Archery Champion”.
• Make sure it plays smoothly.

• Make mail icon point to Bworks' alum.bworks.org mail URL.

• Go to “Applications” on the main menu.
• Go to “Sound and Video”
• Go to “Audio Extractor”
• Go to “Edit” ….. “Preferences”
• Choose the highlighted settings shown below (just one change)

• If time, configure Banshee to do the same thing.
  • Banshee is under Applications…Sound and Video
  • Edit … Preferences

This is necessary because the default install of Open Office looks in .bworks/.openOfficeBlah directory for Clip Art, and it's not installed there. In fact, it has to be downloaded using the openclipart-openoffice.org package, and then Open Office needs to be pointed to the /usr/share/openclipart directory.

• Check if openclipart-openoffice.org is installed:
  • dpkg -l | grep openclipart – If nothing prints, you need to install it. Go to next step. If something prints out, you probably don't need to install openclipart. Skip the next step.
  • openclipart-openoffice.org package has been added to the install script that's on the UBU usb key that floats around the office. 4/1/09
  • Install openclipart
    • sudo apt-get install openclipart-openoffice.org
  • Make sure that /usr/share/openclipart/png directory exists.
  • Go into OpenOffice
    • Go to Tools … Options, and select Paths from the menu.
    • Change/Add the usr/share/openclipart/png path to both the “Gallery” and the “Graphics” options.

If you're following the install steps, stop here!

Below is a script that downloads the tar file from Nate's wiki if scratch1.3.tgz has not already been downloaded.

• NOTE There should be an *”UBU”* USB key in the shop with this script on it already! See Installation Instructions above!

If the script is not on the *UBU* USB key then:

1. Copy the script below into its own bash script (e.g. scratchInstall.sh)
2. Make the script executable chmod 755 scratchInstall.sh
3. If you already downloaded scratch1.3.tgz from http://notesmine.com/scratch_installer#scratch_1.3_installer then copy scratch1.3.tgz into the SAME DIRECTORY as scratchInstall.sh.
4. If you have not downloaded scratch1.3.tgz, then this script automatically do it for you.
5. Run scratchInstall.sh

This script is on the USB key, and should only be copied/pasted into a new script if the USB key is lost. Plus, the MD5 sum is incorrect, because the scratch1.3.tgz file was updated on 1/28/2009, and the MD5 sum hasn't been corrected on this page.

#!/bin/sh
if [ ! -f scratch1.3.tgz ]
then
   wget http://notesmine.com/_media/scratch1.3.tgz
fi
 
# Check MD5 sum
if [[ "`md5sum scratch1.3.tgz | grep -v cc0b355593ce39dd32810e9bd56779c9`" != "" ]]; then
    echo "Md5sum doesnt match! Exiting Script"
    exit 1
else
    echo "MD5 sum is g00t"
fi
 
# If anything prints out, that's BAD
 
tar xzvf scratch1.3.tgz
./scratch_install.pl
# Remove temporary install files.
rm ./scratch_install.pl
# Remove Scratch.tar.gz which is in the scratch1.3.tgz file, along
# with the perl installer.
rm -f ./Scratch.tar.gz
 
# Move the tgz file to somewhere safe.  
# Sometimes, kids mess w/Scratch folder.
# This copy can be used to restore it.
mkdir -p ~/.bworks
 
# Copy the scratch file and this install script to the bworks directory for backup.
cp scratch1.3.tgz ~/.bworks
cp $0 ~/.bworks

* Note Not done yet, we want to try a different wallpaper.

• Get wallpaper from Byteworks wiki.
• Put wallpaper in hidden directory in student's directory.

mkdir -p ~/.bworks  
cd ~/.bworks
wget http://wiki.bworks.org/_media/byteworks_1280_1024.png

• Now, go to the “Places” main menu in GNOME.
• Choose “Home Folder”
• In “View” menu, click “Show hidden files”
• Go to .bworks directory.
• Right-click on image, then choose “Image” … “Set As Wallpaper” from the Image Viewer menu.
• Choose “Fill Screen”, rather than “Stretch” or “Centered”.
