how to change Sugar's timezone+language after XO deployment

[Adam Holt]

Can commands like the following be made to work?

sugar-control-panel -s timezone America/Port-au-Prince
sugar-control-panel -s languages French/France

If not, is there some other clever way to do this programmatically, perhaps
using the gsettings command?

Thanks if poss! Example error posted below -- changes do not take effect,
even after reboot. Original doc @

To apply your changes you have to restart Sugar.
Hit ctrl+alt+erase on the keyboard to trigger a restart.

Supported method for configuring timezone is the "timezone" option in
the "[base]" section of the OS Builder configuration file.

Traceback you show is not fatal, is irrelevant, but is a bug that
should be fixed.

You should not use sudo for this command. Sugar timezone is not a
system-wide configuration setting; it is local to the user.
