Default jabber server doesn't work

Bug Description

Binary package hint: sugar-toolkit

Sugar has a default jabber server to add to new user profiles, which is olpc.collabora.co.uk. This was a development server but now runs experimental changes, so it doesn't provide the collaboration features any more. Using this server causes link local collaboration, the fallback, to fail too because Sugar thinks it is connected to a valid server.

A newer stable upstream release 0.82.9 has removed the default jabber server and allowed an empty string:

Hi,

How do I test this? I have the package and sugar-presence-service installed, but it
doesn't show up as an activity, and I can't find any settings anywhere.

Thanks,

James

James,

Move or archive your current sugar profile,
$ mv .sugar .sugar-old

Start sugar via sugar-emulator, hover over the XO charecter in the center, select "control panel", then "network".

Hi,

I'm just getting an error on that page, it's not readable due to being cropped,
but it's a dbus error about NetworkManager. Is the bug with presence-service
and NetworkManager 0.7 still not fixed?

Thanks,

James

There is a dbus error about the OLPC hardware manager not being found, but that's not relevant.

Look in ~/.sugar/default/config for:
[Jabber]
server =

If it says server = olpc.collabora.co.uk, that's the old behaviour that results in breakage.

If it has server =
(blank) then this is fixed.

To test a new profile, as Luke said, move ~/.sugar out the way and start Sugar again.

Hi Morgan,

The config has indeed changed.

However, I was testing with a new ~/.sugar and I saw the problem with
the network settings.

Thanks,

Hi James,

The error stating "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Un...etworkManager doesn't exist" (as it displays for me) is a separate issue, but not an actual problem on Ubuntu. It relates to a sort of flight-mode for the OLPC hardware, disabling the wifi radio. I've logged bug 287028 about that.

As long as the "Server:" bit below that is empty, this particular issue is solved.
