Template:Software Side Effects Fixes

Delete the ".olpc-configured" files which tell olpc-configure it does not have to run again. This allows some of the files deleted below to be checked for and replaced.

sudo rm -f /.olpc-configured
rm -f /home/olpc/.olpc-configured

Destroy any saved volume settings, forcing defaults. Otherwise the cloned laptop may start with silent speakers.

sudo rm -f /etc/alsa/asound.state

Destroy any saved network connections. Otherwise the cloned laptop cannot connect to the networks the original laptop used.

rm -rf /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/*

Destroy the saved hostname:

sudo rm -f /etc/sysconfig/network

If SSH was enabled, destroy the SSH host key. Otherwise other systems in your network may report problems connecting to the laptops over SSH.

sudo rm -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key{,.pub}

Destroy the Sugar settings, forcing a first boot name prompt. Otherwise the cloned laptops won't be able to collaborate using activities.

rm -rf /home/olpc/.sugar /home/olpc/.gconf/desktop/sugar

Destroy the developer key request file. Otherwise the cloned laptops will apply for developer keys using the original laptop serial number and UUID.

rm -rf /home/.devkey.html

If the laptop was ever registered with a school server, or you are not sure, clear the registration by destroying the GConf settings:

rm -rf /home/olpc/.gconf*

Immediately shutdown without restarting sugar, to avoid the .sugar directory being recreated:

sudo poweroff
