Line 22:
Line 22: − − ==For older releases== − − The '''developer''' console activity provides a number of developer-targeted features (some of which previously existed as a separate activity): − − * XO Resources − * Memphis (memory usage tool) − * Log Viewer : sugar-log-viewer − * Terminal : Linux prompt − − From build 239 the activity can be started within the Sugar UI in two ways: − − * <tt>Alt+=</tt> − * <tt>Alt+0</tt> − − After it is started, <tt>Alt+=</tt> or <tt>Alt+0</tt> will toggle visibility; hiding or showing the activity. It can be dismissed by clicking on the X on top right corner. − − (Keyboard shortcut information can be found in [http://dev.laptop.org/git.do?p=sugar;a=blob;f=README the Sugar README] which should be referenced to ensure the developer console keyboard shortcuts have not changed.) − − This partial screenshot illustrates how the developer console appeared in build 239: − − [[Image:Sugar_developer_console_1.png]] − − The source can be found in the git repository: − − git+ssh://dev.laptop.org/git/sugar/services/console/interface − − ===Change font size=== − − Here is how to increase the print size in the terminal for those who need it (a good quick-start for technically-minded low-vision users or developers): − − # Press <tt>Alt-0</tt> to get into the developer console, and the last tab is the terminal. − # Type ''<tt>nano ~/.sugar/default/terminalrc</tt>'' − # Find the line saying ''<tt>Font = Monospace 8</tt>'', change it to ''<tt>Monospace 16</tt>'' (or whatever you want). − # Press <tt>Control-X</tt> and answer Yes to save. − # Close the developer console (the tiny tiny X in the top right-hand corner) − # Re-open it with <tt>Alt-0</tt>, the terminal should now be in a larger print. −

* While build 650 has no trivial in-GUI way to find your build number, it can be learned via the [[Terminal]] activity.
