I can confirm that gaim does not connect automatically, though, I can't confirm the "unable to add" error. This happens since networkmanager support has been enabled in gaim. The issue is that when your network settings are based on /etc/network/interfaces, networkmanager do not deal with those interfaces and believes there is no network connection active. Therefore gaim does not attempts to connect.
I've submitted a real dirty patch on sourceforge https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100235&aid=1641894&group_id=235 this basically makes gaim connect once regarding of networkmanager status ** Changed in: gaim (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed ** Bug watch added: SourceForge.net Tracker #1641894 http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=1641894 ** Also affects: gaim (upstream) via http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=1641894 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- Gaim doesn't connect automaticaly. https://launchpad.net/bugs/85582 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
