Hi,
The Getting Started Guide's troubleshooting guide
http://www.laptop.org/en/laptop/start/troubleshooting.shtml
is recommending that users email bug reports to bugs at laptop.org,
which is apparently incorrect, according to bugs-owner. Probably
the guide should be corrected.

/etc/init.d/halt calls hwclock to write the current time out to the hardware.
It looks in /etc/sysconfig/clock for the UTC flag. It defaul

As I recall, we widened the base to reduce some wobble. This is an
effort to further reduce wobble (in the 90 degree rotation).

At last, a non-trivial patch.
By default, XoIRC uses the username when another nick is not
provided. Alas, for every XO, this is 'olpc'. This makes for
rather a mess in the IRC channels.
This patch instead generates a more-meaningful nick:
* It takes up to 11 alphabetic characters from the use
Here's a trivial one-liner to fix the default channel that XoIRC
joins. The patch is also attached to this bug:

On 650, the Terminal activity doesn't have enough padding
on the left side; this makes capital Hs, numbers, and so
on lose some of their pixels when they're printed flush

With the lovely newsham's help, we tracked down how to fix
this in the delightfully minimal Terminal activity. Hi

FWIIW, the hardware clock configuration is set to use localtime by
default. This can be reconfigured to use UTC (see /etc/rc.sysinit which

Emiliano,
First things first - caveat emptor.
Direct access to the firmware makes it very easy to brick your machine.
Do not attempt to use these instructions unless you are prepared to deal

You can also use Alt-p or Alt-n to cycle through the windows.

As I understand, gdm will not allow you to login as root without
password. And there is no olpc user. So the trick is to change to text
console for login, create password or user and you'll be able to login
with gdm.

A NetworkManager callout could set it, but it seems we're not
doing it yet.
