Hi James, thanks for responding so quickly. Actually we can set up accounts on the XS manually of course. But we need to know how to do this. The text output is below sugar-control-panel -c registration sugar-control-panel: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.) > >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. >> Did either of these alternate methods work? - gconftool method gave same output as the first (as above) - rm -rf .gconf gave no errors but after reboot there is no "Register" option present in the home view shutdown menu, only Shutdown and My Settings.
