This was SoaS Strawberry (booted with a helper CD). The hw was old HP desktops, EVOs, with a hardwired ethernet. The systems were configured to point to jabber.sugarlabs.org. The network connection itself was working, e.g., browse worked consistently. The machines initially would connect to the ejabberd server, display XOs and activities in the neighborhood view, but after several seconds, the neighborhood would go empty (except for the xo in the center) and the machine would attempt to connect through salut. Only some machines would occasionally appear in Salut. Every once in a while, we'd be reconnected to the server and momentarily see a populated neighborhood view.

I had my laptop connected to the same network running a very up-to-date jhbuild and experienced the same behavior, only the duty cycle seemed to be much faster. I'd get a flash of the jabber server every few minutes.

It was definitely pingponging between gabble and salut as per ps. At no point did my laptop report that the network itself was down.

There was no one around to query re the network configuration for these machines. No idea what was between us and the Internet.

I have seen telepathy-gabble 0.7.25 crashing on my jhbuild, but working reliably after updating to 0.7.28. Strawberry has 0.7.26 but may be worth trying a newer release.

One way of checking this is true is having Walter build tp-gabble 0.7.28 on his jhbuild and testing it there:

 http://telepathy.freedesktop.org/releases/telepathy-gabble/telepathy-gabble-0.7.28.tar.gz

Another possibility maybe simpler is downloading this package from F12 and installing it in soas:

 http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/telepathy-gabble/0.7.28/1.fc12/i586/telepathy-gabble-0.7.28-1.fc12.i586.rpm

Back at the Gardner School today, Gabble (0.7.25) on my jhbuild is stable. Also, on those SoaS Strawberry machines that connected to the net, Gabble was also stable. The problem was that many of the machines seemed not to get an IP address. I did a dhclient by hand and got an IP address, but the network icon never showed up in the Frame and nothing ever showed up in the neighborhood view.

I'll try building gabble 0.7.28 in my jhbuild and confirm that it is working as well.
