Users oriented
The following features are oriented to end users.
Sugar Network integration
By default, Sugar Shell looks the same as in pristine Glucose. To start using Sugar Network related improvements in the Shell UI, go to the Sweets Distribution component in the Control Panel, enable the integration checkbox, and restart Sugar. After restarting, the Sugar Network client will be available from the Activities tray and the F8 shortcut key.
Deployment oriented
The following features are being targeted for Sugar distributors who create downstream solutions based on Sweets Distribution and experienced users who enable these features at their own risk.
- Blacklist Shell components
Blacklist usage of particular Sugar Shell components.
- Shell plugins
Pluggable Sugar Shell code to extend current behavior. Factory repository provides the following plugins:- telepathy from
sugar-telepathy-pluginpackage
Alternative implementation of Neighborhood collaboration in Sugar Shell, which is assumed to make Telepathy related code more robust. - sn from
sugar-network-pluginpackage
Plugin adds Sugar Network integration to the Sugar Shell. It is also a working example how to replace the original sugar-datastore with a new implementation. - client from the
sugar-clientpackage
Plugin to initiate various deployment related routines on the end user system. - proxy from the
sugar-proxy-pluginpackage
Internet proxy configuration.
- telepathy from
- Closer integration with login managers
Sugar Shell will reuse language setting from GDM manager, #2603.
Default configuration changes
The following changes were made in the default Sugar Shell configuration.
- Registration on school servers is disabled by default
Sugar Shell support registration on OLPC XS school server. Sweets Distribution does not provide OLPS XS, and this functionality is disabled by default. To revert to the original behavior, set the/desktop/sugar/show_registerGConf key totrue.
- On initial start, Sugar Shell will ask for a user nickname. To revert to the original behavior (when Shell reuses the system user name), set the
/desktop/sugar/user/default_nickGConf key tosystem.
