Comment(by sjackman):

 Success! When you run xo-get at the TTY, it doesn't have the necessary
 DBUS or X environment variables set. You can borrow the environment
 variables from another process like this:

 {{{
 su olpc
 export $(cat /proc/*/environ |xargs -0 -n1 echo |egrep 'DBUS|X')
 xo-get update
 xo-get install xo-get
 xo-get install Terminal
 }}}

 Once you have terminal installed, you can run the graphical xo-get or run
 the command-line xo-get from the terminal in sugar.
