The issue was caused by importing from activityfactory which caused GObject to be imported. This conflicts with GTK2. (Reported by James Cameron)
The idea is that we should create the sugar profile's activity root if it doesn't exist yet, when running outside Sugar.
Currently, the ToolInvoker code passes the button child in such a
way that the WidgetInvoker queues only the child's draw. In previous
Gtk+ versions, this magically resulted in redrawing the parent as well.
However, Gtk+ 3.20 is probably trying to save power and not randomly
redraw widgets. To fix this, we must queue the redraw of the widget
that we want to redraw explicitly.
- Handle lack of GSettings gracefully.
- Still requires sugar-datastore.
- Supports avoiding X11 docks/panels.
- Provides icons for Activity windows.
Try it outside Sugar. Go to an Activity directory and run 'sugar-activity'.
Tested it with Terminal, Finance, Write, Browse, Memorize under XFCE4.
Tested in Gnome under OLPC-OS.
Also works from Sugar Terminal Activity.
Does not affect regular Sugar operation.
This is patch v.2 -
Addresses most concerns:
- Removed commented code, sorry.
- Changed code to use profile.get_nickname and get_color where possible.
Couldn't the launcher just pass this info?
Maybe the launcher could set the activity root as well?
- It is intended to be usable from the command line also.
Should put sugar version in the environment
- It is intended to work even without Sugar Shell installed.
Why don't we always set the icon?
- On XO it might use some memory. I was concerned to degrade
performance.
Also, imports should be at the top of the file?
- Also a concern about performance on XO.
This way it is only loaded in this use case.
Maybe it is insignificant -moved as requested.
It would be nice if the changes to the POT for sugar-toolkit-gtk3
could be incorporated in this pull request, please.
- There were no changes to POT files as part of this patch. Maybe
it is worth translating low level command line tools, not sure.
Suggest packaged activities might also provide .desktop files.
- Intriguing but not sure within scope of this patch. You mean generate
a .desktop file automatically as an option? Sounds nice!
Suggest sugar-activity might also accept path to unpacked bundle.
- Implemented!
Sugar depended on Rainbow for clearing the activity instance/ and tmp/
directories. But Rainbow is no longer used downstream.
- remove support for Rainbow,
- avoid race when creating directories; don't check they exist before we
create.
Git submodules are only listed by their root directory in the
output of "git ls-files". Therefore, we must handle this case
so that the files from the module are included in the install
and dist_xo commands.
To reproduce the issue, you could do something like the following:
cd pippy
git clone https://github.com/samdroid-apps/collabwrapper
git add collabwrapper
python setup.py install # or just osbuild run
CHANNEL_TYPE_TUBES was deprecated since telepathy-gabble 0.17.25 and
is no longer present on modern distributions. This breaks collaboration
for _all_ activities, regardless if they use tubes or not.
Therefore, check if the channel creation failed due to support and allow
channel creation process to continue.
This patch fixes collaboration for the activities that do not use tubes
channel in modern distributions, but also allow to use tubes when running
on older distributions.
