Shared activities stay in the mesh view when no one is using them

[jfuhrer]

OFW: Q2C18 Build: 485

Is this the intended behavior? If I share an activity, it appears in the Neighborhood view, but it will remain in the Neighborhood view even after I quit out of the activity. Should activity icons for shared activities be persisting in the view even after they're empty?

[marco]

Nope, not intended. Not sure if sugar or ps bug.

morgs, what's the status here? You said you partially fixed this at some point... What is left?

[jfuhrer]

As of 514 the icon will drop off in everyone's mesh view EXCEPT the XO that created and shared the activity...maybe that's what he was referring to?

That is the current status. I'll try debug it with the other Collaborans at Guadec.

Not clear to me that this isn't pretty serious, when taken to scale in schools.

We have trials of several hundred laptops underway.

If you have time investigate to see if there is a simple fix.

I'm not going to push this one out to trial-3 yet.

Morgs: Any news about this bug? Does it occur when using Gabble, Salut, both?

This should be fixed as of build 515. I'm not aware of specifics of this still happening. If so, please indicate which build, whether gabble or salut, and include activity log and presenceservice.log.

Actually, as of 532 the problem seems to still occur occasionally, with activity icons getting stuck on OTHER XO's screens rather than the XO that created them. Here are the logs from a B3 that had a Record activity he participated in (which was started by a B4) get stuck in his Neighborhood view. I'm using Salut.

[jfuhrer]

Here's one in 535 with the activity icon getting stuck on the screen of the XO that created it.

[morgs]

The problem in 535 was due to D-Bus timeouts which cause unpredictable behaviour.

I'll continue checking salut.

morgs: marcopg: 1935 is mostly remedied, but multiple things exist which can cause this behaviour - like someone powering off without stopping a shared activity, or suspending even

Please open separate tickets if you find cases where this still happen.
