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.
