Sorry it has taken me a while to get round to testing this. Well it does not
work. In terminal, the command above gives a lot of text feedback, referring
to a configuration server. Not sure what it is trying to do, but what I am
trying to achieve is to get the "Register" to appear on the XO home page
when you hover over the middle, under "Shutdown" and "My settings"; i.e. to
have the Register option available again in the shutdown dropdown menu so
that I can register the XO on another XS.

We have to do this quite often, for instance right now we have 25 teachers
from 3 schools with OLPC projects visiting one school for training. They all
need to access the XS server at that school, using their own laptops.

Hence we need to deregister them. I am not sure if this question is for the
Sugar dev or server dev list, but is certainly server related.

Any help appreciated! We are stuck at the moment. We are otherwise stuck; we
upgrade them XOs to 10.1.2 and now don't have access to the server without a
lot of time consuming work.

(it is a pity as the rm /home/olpc/.sugar/default/config method was well
understood here)






>There's an alternate method using the gconftool-2 program that is
somewhat more complex.





gconftool-2 --set --type=string \
/desktop/sugar/backup_url \
''

And finally a brute force method "rm -rf .gconf" but this destroys other
settings, most of which may not be important.
