==== Fixed system clock ==== |
|||
Mine came with the correct time zone, but the clock was off. I set it to the NIST clock and sync'd the hardware clock. Saved link to how to do this in [http://configures.sarahelkins.org/2008/01/28/why-fix-a-clock/] |
|||
==== Disabled Hot Corners ==== |
|||
There's at least one thing about the standard Sugar interface which most users want to change. This is also known as the frame-shrink fix, and other names. |
|||
This requires just commenting out two lines in /usr/share/sugar/shell/view/frame/eventarea.py (as root, in Terminal): |
|||
def _create_invisible(self, x, y, width, height): |
|||
invisible = gtk.Invisible() |
|||
# invisible.connect('enter-notify-event', self._enter_notify_cb) |
|||
# invisible.connect('leave-notify-event', self._leave_notify_cb) |
|||
==== Fixed Chat scroll bug ==== |
|||
Saved how to do this somewhere in [http://www.connotea.org/user/selkins/tag/OLPC+how-to/ |
