[Bug 296273] New: Gaim (now Pidgin) needs a manual button for online/ offline mode
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=296273 Summary: Gaim (now Pidgin) needs a manual button for online/offline mode Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.2 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: crispin@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Development Because of inadequacies in NetworkManager (can't handle PPP connections) I sometimes have to manually establish a network connection while NM thinks I am still off line. Gaim believes NM and refuses to connect to chat, even thou there is routable network. I could not find a button in Gaim to override the online/offline mode. Firefox had a similar problem, but it has a manual over ride for online/offline mode. Gaim/pidgin should have such a feature, so that it can deal with this and future limitations in NM. -- 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.

I don't have a good way of testing whether one can force pidgin to think it's online when NM says otherwise, but given that NM now has PPP support, the workaround this bug is intended to provide may be unnecessary. -- 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.
