:# I tried changing the nickname from ''aaron'' to ''aaron-test-nick'' and the OLPC freaked out on X-restart/reboot, never made it back to the GUI. I had to manually edit the ''/home/olpc//.sugar/default/config'' file, changing it back to ''nickname = aaron''. I used ''<ctrl>+<alt>+<fn>+1'' to get to a console, logged in as root, found the file above and edited it with vi. Perhaps the new name was simply too long or contained invalid characters, but the ''sugar-control-panel -s nick aaron-test-nick'' command should have warned about that if that's the case. --[[User:D0li0|D0li0]] 06:05, 3 January 2008 (EST) |

Is it possible to simple reset the preferred user name, so you can play around before giving yours laptop away to someone else? Sugar Control Panel !!
- I tried changing the nickname from aaron to aaron-test-nick and the OLPC freaked out on X-restart/reboot, never made it back to the GUI. I had to manually edit the /home/olpc//.sugar/default/config file, changing it back to nickname = aaron. I used <ctrl>+<alt>+<fn>+1 to get to a console, logged in as root, found the file above and edited it with vi. Perhaps the new name was simply too long or contained invalid characters, but the sugar-control-panel -s nick aaron-test-nick command should have warned about that if that's the case. --D0li0 06:05, 3 January 2008 (EST)
- Autoreinstallation image
- Olpc-update
- Activated Upgrade looks like the simplest, and mentions "preferred user name".
