* '''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.
