The age parameter, if available, is used in some activities, e.g., the bot in the Chat activity assumes the same age as the child. But it is not widely used and wouldn't be missed. The color can be overridden after the fact, so it is probably OK to skip that too, See https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/tree/master/src/jarabe/intro > > * With a Live system, how does one change the language and > keyboard layout?

See https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/tree/master/extensions/cpsection There is also a keybaord section there, but I don't recall how it works. > > Thanks > >M > ___ > Sugar-devel mailing list > Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org > http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel -- Walter Bender Sugar Labs http://www.sugarlabs.org ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

One or two activities use the value to set starting conditions. You can find them by searching for the birth-timestamp settings key. The first one I found when searching is Speak. > Also, if it's "nothing" as it seems, where would I look to change > SLB to make it skip the color and age selection screens? Give the settings keys a value and create the SSH owner key. On OLPC OS, based on Ubuntu, shell script /usr/bin/sugar detects UID of 99, presence of /rofs, and username ubuntu, and responds by doing this; gsettings set org.sugarlabs.user nick 'You' gsettings set org.sugarlabs.user gender '' gsettings set org.sugarlabs.user birth-timestamp 689659403 gsettings set org.sugarlabs.user group-label 'Adult' gsettings set org.sugarlabs.user color '#808080,#c0c0c0' gconftool-2 --set /desktop/sugar/user/color --type string '#808080,#c0c0c0' gconftool-2 --set /desktop/sugar/user/nick --type string 'You' ssh-keygen -q -t dsa -f .sugar/default/owner.key -C '' -N '' # 0.250 sec > * With a Live system, how does one change the language and > keyboard layout? For a live system, Sugar's My Settings should do a restart. https://help.sugarlabs.org/en/my_settings.html Otherwise prompt for it at boot. Fedora SoaS, last I checked, does this in the bootloader, passes the language choice as a kernel command line, extracted from /proc/cmdline and stored in environment variable LANG or file ~/.i18n (not sure which), and then /usr/bin/sugar shell script uses it. For OLPC XO laptops, LANG was stored as a firmware setting at point of manufacture, and can be changed in the field. -- James Cameron http://quozl.netrek.org/ ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

Apologies for having missed the meeting yesterday. I had a medical appointment, which took longer than expected. Welcome to the new members!

However, I don't think skipping the color selection screen is a good idea.

If a specific activity does not have translations added for your preference one language, it displays the text in your second language preference.

[Sugar-devel] Some questions about Sugar and Sugar Live Build
Hi all I have a couple of questions about Sugar and SLB that I haven't managed to answer yet, so if anyone knows, that would be a boost for me. * What difference does it make if one selects a different age group at the startup screen? Also, if it's "nothing" as it seems, where would I look to change SLB to make it skip the color and age selection screens? * With a Live system, how does one change the language and keyboard layout? (One option for me is to produce a range of language-specific ISOs, each configured during the build for a different language/kdb pair) Thanks M ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
