Evolution assumes that Network Manager is the only way to have network on a
system. Note that interfaces can either be managed by "/etc/network/interfaces"
or by Network Manager. However, if interfaces managed by NM are disconected,
Evo thinks there is no network at all, and start offline. Moreover, it refuses
to switch to online mode, eaven if the user requests it.
Possible workarround: before using Evo in online mode, please ask first your
system administrator to disable Network Manager, or to unisnstall it. ;-)
Doesn't this sound like #584200 or #582358?
Sorry, you're right.
Now, like for all the other bug reports, I don't have network-manager
(and I'm not interested in it), so I can't test. Maybe there's a bug and
people should be able to override the offline mode even when using
network-manager
I'm ok if Evo asks NM about network interfaces, and _suggests_ the
offline mode.
However:
- Evo should look at interfaces not managed by NM;
- the user must be able to change this descision.
(though imho the whole point of NM is to give it your
network keys and let it do what it want, if you don't like it, don't use
it at all).
More precisely: NM do what it want for a given set of interfaces. A
system may have several interfaces, some are managed by NM, other not.
But I have no way to check, so your best bet is to open the
bug *upstream* (there's now a text asking for that when using
reportbug), so you can explain exactly the wanted behavior and argue
with them (check before if there's no upstream issue already opened,
though)
Thank you.
