Talk:Release notes/10.1.3

After You Have updated the XO-1 to 10.1.3

You May Want To Switch to the Gnome Desktop

The XO will start up with the familiar Sugar desktop. (The use of the Sugar OS is thoroughly covered by other documentation.)

Click on the central XO symbol then select "settings"

Look for the "paw" icon bottom-right.

Click on it.

Observe that you will receive dialog to leave sugar environment and enter the Gnome desktop. (technically 'Gnome Panel 2.26.3')

NOTE: None of the Sugar Applications will be available. If you have been on a network, you will have to re-establish the connection. Be sure you know the password to get to the server that you use.

NOTE: The Neighborhood, local, home, activity, and journal keys will not function. They may serve as function keys with some Applications. (Applications are what the kid-friendly Sugar interface calls "Activities").

Switch Back to Sugar

Following the "start, change, and stop principle", to get out of the Gnome Desktop: there is an icon on the desktop entitled "Switch to Sugar".

NOTE: Should you be in some application, etc that obscures the desktop: At the lower left of the window is a small icon to click on which will hide open windows and show the desktop.

Double-click on the "Switch to Sugar" icon.

A dialogue will ask you to OK the selection. Then you will be returned to the Sugar desktop.

NOTE: If the neighborhood button does not show any servers, go to Settings>Network>and click turn radio on button.

[STAY TUNED for more when I have figured it out. There have been problems. Firefox, the internet browser supplied, when launched will display a window urging you to update to 3.6 or beta 4. From there it is out to left-field. Also sites that use Flash Player do not operate properly, if at all] 021211 18:39 mst

Shut Down/Restart from GNOME

In looking over the GNOME desktop, menu selection, and etc., I noticed that there are no "Restart", "Shut Down", or "sleep" buttons. That could lead you to believe that you must Switch to Sugar, and then Shut Down in the usual Sugar Fashion (hover over the symbol till you see the choice). This is not necessary.

If you want to shut down from GNOME, hold down the ON button on the XO about five seconds

You will see three symbols with arrows, then the screen goes dark.

To turn back on, hold the ON button until you hear the start tone. The Gnome desktop will be displayed.
