[Bug 214360] New: GAIM 1.5.0-50 - Sign on button disabled
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=214360 Summary: GAIM 1.5.0-50 - Sign on button disabled Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: Solaris 10 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: panache1023@hotmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Launch GAIM select the account enter password "Sign on" button remains disabled, and so can not click on it to log in. I have a valid internet connection as I am surfing the web and using Kopete. I'd rather use GAIM, but it doesn't let me sign on because the button remains disabled!!!! I have a screenshot I can supply showing this bug, but I don't see anywhere I can attach a file. I reported this bug to the GAIM team, but they said that SuSE applied a patch called "gaim-1.5.0-dbus-onoffline.patch" where it disables the button if GAIM does not think that there is an internet connection. This is working totally incorrectly as I *AM* connected to the internet, but the button remains disabled, therefore I can not even attempt to log on. Personally, as a developer, I think this is a dumb feature. It would make way more sense for the user to press sign-on and have an error message say, "no internet connection"...i mean, I have no real understanding as to WHY that button is disabled, it just is, and I am very frustrated by it. Please let me know when this gets fixed, or what I could possibly be doing wrong...even though I don't think I'm doing anything wrong. I mean, entering my username and password and the "sign-on" button remains disabled, what could I be doing wrong? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Either that or the 10.1 version of gaim does not fail over properly like the sled/sles one. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

To connect to the internet, I supply my wireless info using iwconfig. When I have a connection to the router, I simply run dhclient, and I am connected to the internet. If there is any specific info you to help resolve this let me know.
