~~=====VirtualBox Appliances Must Be Cleared or Cloned=====~~

{{Admon/note|

{{Admon/note|~~VERY IMPORTANT:|~~'''~~To Make~~ a new VM'''(clear the ~~journal)~~ enter the command "rm ~ rf /.sugar" in ~~terminal; then sudo su, (password) then in root terminal: "~~shutdown ~~-h now"~~ . ~~<small>~~This will clear ~~the user~~ information on ~~your~~ VM and let you start with a ~~new~~ install. ~~'''This MUST BE DONE''' or~~ collisions ~~on f1 neighborhood~~ view of the ~~jabber~~ network ~~will occur~~ between separate copies of the VB appliance. ~~</small>do '''ls -a''' in terminal to be sure that~~ '''.sugar''' ~~is visible~~ in ~~terminal~~. '''~~To Clone~~ a VM''' ~~''or UNUSER'' (~~keep ~~journal~~ and installed .xo ~~applications)~~ use "rm ~/.sugar/default/owner.key*" in ~~sugar terminal;~~ then ~~sudo su, (password) "~~shutdown ~~-h now"~~}}

* '''When making a new VM''', to clear the Sugar Journal of old entries and to avoid identity conflicts among copies of the VM, enter the command {{Code|rm ~ rf /.sugar}} in the Terminal activity. Then shutdown the VM. This will clear all Learner information on the VM and let you start with a fresh install. Skipping this will result in collisions in the Neighborhood view of the Jabber network between separate copies of the appliance. Verify the presence of the '''.sugar''' directory by entering {{Code|ls -a}} in Terminal.

* '''When cloning a customized VM''', in order to keep the Journal and installed .xo Activities, use {{Code|rm ~/.sugar/default/owner.key*}} in the Sugar Terminal, and then shutdown the VM. This leaves the Journal entries and removes only the previous Learner's identity key files.}}
