User Manual

Or where to find useful information about where to configure apps and preferences, how to use the OM2007.2 apps, what is specific to h:1 etc.

The default root password is root
A lot of commands regarding the interface have to be run as hackable1 user and some files are to be modified in /home/hackable1, not in /root. For instance, gconftool commands must be run as hackable1

Known Issues

We have a bugtracker that lists bugs, show their state etc. http://trac.hackable1.org/trac/report/3 If you find an error, it may have already been reported but you can confirm it. I you find a new bug, please file a bug report: http://trac.hackable1.org/trac/newticket

Artwork

All the h1-sepcific artwork is in trunk/src/artwork/h1artwork. You can see in the Makefile where each parts goes. For instance, the file h1.pa (which becomes /use/share/hackable1/h1.pa in the image) is a config file for pulseaudio which defines the ringtones. The Hackable1-gtktheme contains the gtkrc (general Gtk theme) and application-specific themes. (See  http://live.gnome.org/GnomeArt/Tutorials/GtkThemes)
