Sorry for that duplicate bug. Missed out that lfaraone already filed the bug.<br><br>I have attached the revised patch. (uploaded at bugs.sl.o too)<br>* changed things (subject, description, etc) according to Sascha Silbe's suggestions.<br> <br>@ Marco : The default timeout is way too long (unable to find out exact time). Yes, the process is synchronous, thats why Sugar is freezing.<br><br>@ Tomeu: Thanks for the review. Will try to get the registration process asynchronous.<br> <br>Regards,<br>Dipankar<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Sep 6, 2010 at 4:12 PM, Tomeu Vizoso <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:tomeu@sugarlabs.org">tomeu@sugarlabs.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> <div><div></div><div class="h5">On Mon, Sep 6, 2010 at 11:51, Marco Pesenti Gritti <<a href="mailto:marco@marcopg.org">marco@marcopg.org</a>> wrote:<br> > On Sun, Sep 5, 2010 at 3:44 PM, Dipankar Patro <<a href="mailto:dipankar@seeta.in">dipankar@seeta.in</a>> wrote:<br> >> Hi,<br> >><br> >> In reference to ticket #2290 (<a href="http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2290" target="_blank">http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/2290</a>)<br> >><br> >> I have uploaded a patch (have attached it too).<br> >><br> >> Problem: in the register procedure the time out of connection was not<br> >> implemented, for an unavailable server.<br> >><br> >> Solution in Patch:<br> >> - Have implemented a TimedOut connection (TimedOutServerProxy( ) function)<br> >> which encounters the problem of unavailable servers.<br> >> - The connection timeout can be changed in seconds through the variable :<br> >> 'timeout'.<br> >> The default setting is at : timeout=socket._GLOBAL_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT<br> >> Change it to : timeout=10, to find Sugar does not freeze anymore.<br> ><br> > How long is the default timeout?
