f1 Neighborhood works if Cat5 wired network connected

>200 avitars shown from jabber

Do not connect Cat-5 wired network before doing the following

• Sugar 0.92.1 has a bug with jabber.sugarlabs.org

The large number of avitars being sent cause long delays on starting activities. dbus timeouts.

Unfortunately CP/Network does not start here so it is not possible to delete the jabber entry.

It seems to be possible to do this with the old terminal OLPC command:

List commands:
  sugar-control-panel -l
gives an incorrect address and disconnects jabber  
  sugar-control-panel -s jabber ""
suggested by Cerlyn  ("" is null string)
check setting change:
  sugar-control-panel -g jabber
   which lists current setting to see if it is changed
(shows blank line)

• MY Settings/About Me/ click on different color avitar; restart; gdm log in and jabber will not be a problem

Connect Cat-5 Network cable AFTER doing this for an internet connection

USE "nm-connection-editor" in terminal to configure wireless AP

Peter Robinson:
We've delayed the release slightly in co-operation with Fedora release
engineering to get a patch to support networking. I'm expecting the
release to happen next Tuesday at this point. I'll be working on it
over the weekend to clean up some lose ends. As it turns out there was
also an issue that caused persistent overlays to fail on the live
images so its good to get some of the zero day fixes in as well.

Look at thumbnail to right===>

http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/File:F15-727_remix-1.JPG

Thanks! AFAICT this is intentional: Sugar groups buddies (visualised as
XO icons) around the activity they are working on; those are the buddies
you see directly beside the activity icons. Buddies that are working on
a different activity or no shared activity at all shouldn't be displayed
in proximity to the activity icon (otherwise you'd assume they work on
this activity); that's the clear space ("halo") you're seeing.
