There is a control panel to set user preferences such as nickname or color on the XO.
Prior to release 8.2.0 this was only available as a command-line program that you run in a terminal.
== The graphical user interface == === Access the interface === The control panel is accessible from the pop-up menu on the home view XO icon. == La interfaz gráfica de usuario de acceso == === === la interfaz El panel de control es accesible desde el menú emergente en la Home XO icono.
Hovering over the icon with the mouse pointer will reveal a palette where the control panel is one of the available options (ab). {|style="border: solid 1px grey; margin: 1em auto 1em; auto" |- | valign="top"| | valign="top"| |- |} === Main Page === Each of the icons on the main page represents a section in the control panel (c).

The sugar-control-panel command
Old text: The requirements for the panel are listed here; the bold ones are those that have been implemented for the command line version of the panel.
Usage
Open the Terminal Activity, type the following command and press Enter to display the help information for the control panel command-line program.
sugar-control-panel -h
this displays:
Usage: sugar-control-panel [ option ] key [ args ... ] Control for the sugar environment. Options: -h show this help message and exit -l list all the available options -h key show information about this key -g key get the current value of the key -s key set the current value for the key
The control panel command-line tool tries to be as self-explanatory as possible. We will go through a typical scenario to show the basic usage. We want to set the jabber server on the XO in order to do testing with an sugar-jhbuild instance. To list all the available commands, enter:
sugar-control-panel -l
As of January 2008 this will give you something like:
[erikos@localhost sugar]$ sugar-control-panel -l color jabber language nick radio timezone
To display what the current value of a key is, use the -g option:
[erikos@localhost sugar]$ sugar-control-panel -g jabber jabber.laptop.org
If you are not sure what to set, you can use the -h option for each key to display the help for a command:
[erikos@localhost sugar]$ sugar-control-panel -h jabber
Set the jabber server
server : e.g. 'olpc.collabora.co.uk'
To change the jabber server, use the -s option.
[erikos@localhost sugar]$ sugar-control-panel -s jabber olpc.collabora.co.uk To apply your changes you have to restart sugar. Hit at the same time ctrl+alt+erase on the keyboard to do this.
Some of the options require restarting Sugar.
Colors
Usage:
sugar-control-panel -s color strokecolor fillcolor [strokequalifier [fillqualifier]]
Examples:
sugar-control-panel -s color red blue
sugar-control-panel -s color red blue dark
sugar-control-panel -s color purple yellow light medium
(Una tabla con los íconos de la XO en todas las combinaciones de colores en Media:Buddy-Icon-Color-Matrix.pdf. Una ampliación del 310% llenará la pantalla de la XO con las imágenes de los todo. A shade difference between the optional stroke and fill qualifiers is enforced by code. It is possible that some stroke/fill pairs in the table may be disallowed. It is easy to see the low contrast color pairs in the Buddy Icon Color Matrix.)
Base colors
- Red
- Orange
- Yellow
- Brown - may not work
- Blue
- Purple
- Green - not listed as a color option, but it works
Shades
- Dark
- Medium
- Light
Nickname
Usage is:
sugar-control-panel -s nick "kikay"
d (type the "new name" that you want after the word nick)
Languages
Usage is: (do not run as root)
sugar-control-panel -s language yourlanguage
e.g.
sugar-control-panel -s language Spanish/Peru
To get the current language do:
sugar-control-panel -g language
Note you may encounter problems with unsupported languages; only a few are currently present in Ship.2 (English and Spanish), with many more coming in Update 1 (you can see progress on translations to languages at our Pootle translation service. Not all of these languages will be available in Update.1. You can help yourself and OLPC by helping with localization for your favorite languages.
If you get into trouble, to recover, type:
- Ctrl-Alt-F1 or Ctrl-Alt-F2 (F1 is the mesh-key and F2 the friends-key)
- login as root (on an Update.1 build this is only hitting enter). Then type the commands:
- su olpc
- export SUGAR_PATH=/usr/share/sugar
- sugar-control-panel -s language English/USA
- switch back to the console which runs sugar Ctrl-Alt-F3 (F3 is the home-key)
- restart the X server Ctrl-Alt-erase
If you do not find your language in the list below but want to start to translate for a specific language or just try things out you can set the locale by editing the ~olpc/.i18n config file which is in the home directory. This is what the sugar-control-panel does as well. Don't forget to restart sugar after you are done.
The list of languages include at this writing:

Time
You can set the timezone with the sugar-control-panel. This is an offset only, so if the actual time is not set correctly setting the timezone will not result in the correct timezone as well. If you have internet access you can use ntpdate or rdate to sync your clock with an available time server. It works as well to set the timezone first and then sync with a time server.
Utterly complicated. Please simplify; start with rdate with auto-install if it is not there with the rdate option to use ntp and a simple timezone code ('America/Los_Angeles' is not a simple timezone code; it requires the underscore ).
Setting The Time With ntpdate
Your machine likely already has ntpdate. Then synchronizing the time is as simple as (you must be connected to the Internet):
su - # become root with login shell
ntpdate pool.ntp.org
Then you will want to make the hardware clock remember the current time.
hwclock --systohc
Otherwise, see the next instructions.
Setting The Time With rdate
If your machine does not have ntpdate, or cannot connect to an NTP server, you may need to use rdate.
Install rdate:
su root yum install rdate
Get the time (dependent on your current time zone) of an rdate server. (you must be root)
rdate [server]
Examples for servers:
time.fu-berlin.de rdate.cpanel.net
To set your clock do:
rdate -s [server]
e.g.
rdate -s time.fu-berlin.de
Then you will want to make the hardware clock remember the current time.
hwclock --systohc
Manually setting date
You need to be root to set the date and time, so become root before you begin,
su
date -s 3/6/2008
sets the date to March 6, 2008
date -s 22:35:00
sets the time to 10:35 PM.
Setting The Timezone
Now you can use the sugar-control-panel to set the timezone. Get the list of available timezones:
sugar-control-panel -h timezone
Get the current timezone:
sugar-control-panel -g timezone
Set the timezone (you must be root):
G1G1 users which have not been updated to a newer Update.1 build have to use the 'su' command to become root. Do not use 'su -' since the 'su -' command starts a login shell where the $SUGAR_PATH variable needed by the sugar-control-panel is not preserved.
su sugar-control-panel -s timezone [timezone]
If you are running a joyride build (tested with 1525) or an update.1 build (tested with 679) you can use sudo to run the sugar-control-panel command as root. (The sudo command will preserve the $SUGAR_PATH).
sudo sugar-control-panel -s timezone [timezone]
e.g.
sudo sugar-control-panel -s timezone Europe/Berlin
You needn't worry about any possible Daylight Saving Time; the OLPC handles this very well with no human intervention.
Common Usage Errors
Sugar Path
If the XO complains about things like 'SUGAR_PATH' and don't seem to work, you are probably running the program outside of Sugar or as Root. Try again from the Terminal Activity or as another user.
Sorry I do not speak 'english'
If you get the above response (or one like it) it's because you didn't format your chosen language correctly. You need to add your country as well, such as:
sugar-control-panel -s language English/USA sugar-control-panel -s language Spanish/Peru
To get a list of available languages do:
sugar-control-panel -h language
Since the list is long you might want to do something like this to limit the search result:
sugar-control-panel -h language | grep -i english
Error timezone does not exist
If you get the above response (or one like it) it's because you didn't format your chosen timezone correctly: A typical timezone command is looking like this:
sugar-control-panel -s timezone Europe/Berlin sugar-control-panel -s timezone America/Lima
To get a list of available timezones do:
sugar-control-panel -h timezone
Since the list is long you might want to do something like this to limit the search result:
sugar-control-panel -h timezone | grep -i lima
