[http://laptop.org OLPC] (One Laptop per Child) is a non-profit association developing the low-cost laptop—the "XO Laptop". The Sugar project was originally started in support of the XO laptop, which has a number of features specific to Sugar, most notably, a number of keys dedicated to the interface.

~~This page tries to capture of number of OLPC-specific hints to using~~ Sugar.

== Using Sugar on an XO ==

~~===Keyboard shortcuts===~~

This section tries to capture a number of OLPC-specific hints to using Sugar.

~~The XO~~-~~1 laptop has dedicated keys that can be used in navigating the~~ Sugar ~~interface. Please see [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Keyboard_shortcuts the keyboard shortcuts page] in the [http://wiki.laptop.org OLPC wiki]~~.

===~~USB Ethernet adaptor~~===

~~See~~ the [http://wiki.laptop.org/go/~~USB_ethernet_adaptors USB Ethernet Adapters~~] ~~page for a list of options~~.

=== USB Ethernet adapters ===

See the [[olpc:USB_ethernet_adaptors| USB Ethernet Adapters]] page for a list of options.

=== Click ===

To “click”, press once on the left-hand touchpad button—the button with the × symbol at the front of the touchpad.

=== Getting connected ===

Please refer to the [[olpc:Wifi_Connectivity| Wi-Fi Connectivity page]] in the OLPC wiki for details about how to connect an OLPC XO laptop to the Internet.

=== Wireless Loss ===

XO machines may experience problems with Access Points not showing in network neighbourhood, or taking a long time to be shown, especially as the number of XO laptops in a room increases. This is now fixed: On XO-4 (8787), the problem does not occur, on OLPC OS 11.3.1 and earlier the problem should not occur, and the solution is to upgrade to 13.2.1. Read more at http://wiki.laptop.org/go/12757

On XO-1.5 machines, an aggressive suspend and resume may also cause wifi to stop working. The solution is to go to Control Panel, Power, and uncheck powersaving.

=== Mesh Networking Deprecated ===

XO-1.5's do not have Mesh networking support, so they use 802.11 Ad-hoc

networks. XO-1's default to Mesh networks at the moment for compatibility,

because that is what they historically have done.

Once an XO-1.5 starts an Ad-hoc network, the XO-1's will spot that network

within a minute or two, and use the same Mayan numeral as the XO-1.5 to

indicate its presence. If all the XOs leave an Ad-hoc network it

disappears; but Network Manager/Sugar cache its presence for a while in case

a scan accidentally missed a network.

When an XO-1 sees an Ad-hoc networks they are all filled in as "occupied",

because an XO-1 does not show the unfilled variants to allow an XO-1 to

start them.

This behavior has been around since OLPC build 10.1.3 (860) & Sugar 0.90,

and is described at [[Features/Ad_hoc_Networking]]

I believe XO-1's can be adjusted to default to Ad-hoc as well if desired

===Make more Room===

*kevix on #olpc Jul 21 2012:

you can remove any of the stuff inside /home/olpc/Activities for more space

This is where the the sugar activities are stored

Move them to an SD or USB Card and put them back later.
