|||
To view the current nickname for your XO type: |
|||

|||
To change the nickname type: |
|||
su |
|||

|||
== Color == |
|||
To change the color of the XO symbol at the center of your [http://www.laptop.org/laptop/start/homeview.shtml Home View], launch the [[Terminal Activity]] |
|||
At the prompt, type just one of the following example commands: |
|||
su |
|||
[[Sugar Control Panel|sugar-control-panel]] -s color '''<outline color>''' '''<interior color>''' '''<outline shade>''' '''<interior shade>''' (press "Enter") |
|||
The values for color are |
|||
* red |
|||
* orange |
|||
* yellow |
|||
* green |
|||
* blue |
|||
* purple |
|||
The optional '''shade''' values may be ''light'', ''medium''. or ''dark''. They specify the darkness of the outline and interior color respectively. |
|||
To ensure that the color scheme you choose is readable when the display is in monochrome mode, the outline and internal light/medium/dark values can not be the same. If you try to make them the same, they will be silently set to be different. |
|||
Restart [[Sugar]] by pressing these 3 keys at once: Ctrl-Alt-Erase. |
|||
Bonus: a few [[Sugar Control Panel|extra tips on running sugar-control-panel]]. |
|||
== Time Zone == |
|||
To find out what timezones are available execute: |
|||
su |
|||
sugar-control-panel -h timezone |
|||
su |
|||
[[Sugar Control Panel|sugar-control-panel]] -s timezone America/Chicago |
|||
exit |
|||
This will set the timezone to that of Chicago (Central Time) |
|||

|||
== Airplane Mode == |
|||
To turn off the XO Wireless while flying, use the sugar-control-panel: |
|||
su |
|||
sugar-control-panel -s radio off |
|||
* Wireless will be restored the next time the XO laptop is rebooted, regardless of the method used to disable wireless connectivity. Advanced users only: if you don't want wireless auto-restarting on reboot, log in as root and rename /lib/firmware/usb8388.bin -- remembering to restore this file later! Finally, ongoing work to improve this functionality can be tracked [http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/1406 here]. |
|||
* For advanced users: another way to disable wireless is to use [[Airplane mode]]. |
