If [[Sugar]] is broken or the [[Terminal]] activity will not start, you can switch to a virtual terminal (for looking through your filesystem and typing in commands) by: |
|||
* typing Ctrl-alt-Neighborhood (Neighborhood is the same as F1 on a normal keyboard, and looks like this: [[Image:Mesh key f1 small.png]] - your screen will become white text on a black background. |
|||
* hitting Enter (may have to do this twice) - the screen will print something like: |
|||
OLPC build 653 (stream ship.2; variant devel_jffs2) |
|||
Kernel 2.6.22-20071121.7.olpc.af3dd731d18bc39 on an i586 |
|||
xo-05-29-d2 login: |
|||
* type "root" (no quotes) |
|||
* hit Enter |
|||
You are now root on a virtual terminal and can type commands as you would in Terminal. (Be careful - as root - the superuser - you can do damage to your system, so make sure you know the commands you're typing). |
|||
To return to Sugar, logout by typing ctrl-D and then ctrl-alt-Home - Home is the same as f3 on a normal keyboard and looks like this. [[Image:Home key f3 small.png]] |
|||
(There is some bug that cause this procedure to fail some of the time. You can type ctrl-alt-Group, then hit return to get the other console running.) |
