[Bug 191889] Re: [MASTER] [WORKAROUND] "Offline Mode" feature fails to detect proper online state for networks that are managed outside of network manager.

2010-06-18 Thread Partho Benerjee
Hi, I connect to internet using Huawei EC1260 USB modem on Lucid Lynx. The 
network manager "detects" the mobile broadband hardware but doesn't conect for 
some reason that I'll investigate later. 
Since nw can't get me connected (despite detecting the device), I am forced to 
use ppp (wvdial or GNOME-ppp)

So, I connect using GNOME-PPP that uses pppd interface for the Huawei modem. It 
works like a charm. 
After I successfully connect as above, when I physically pull out the Huawei 
USB modem, network manager immediately jumps and notifies me that I am "now" 
offline. Why is network manager telling everybody ( e.g. Firefox, Evolution) 
that I was offline before ?

My point is :  If network manager instantly and exactly "knows" when I
get offline after staying connected using ppp, then why is it misguiding
all the depending application that I was offline before?

While I used the Firefox workaround using about:config, is there any
workaround to get Evolution start online??

I see that the fix has been committed and released for network manager.
But I think the whole issue hasn't moved an inch towards resolution.
Even after two years, nw fails to look at ppp connection status to give
an informed online/offline status. All depending applications i.e.
evolution, firefox etc. continue to be fooled by nw's online/offline
status. They continue to start in offline mode.

In two years, thgere is no fix or progress or information has been sought ? Is 
there anything I can do to stop evolution from starting in offline mode?
Is there anything, I as a user can do to help?? This is glaring!!

[Bug 191901] Re: Evolution always start in offline mode

2010-06-15 Thread Partho Benerjee
Hi, I have my network connection showing up, Firefox opening sites on internet 
but Evolution almost always starts in offline mode.
I even tried opening Evolution AFTER Firefox but it still starts in offline 
mode. I am using Lucid Lynx.

[Bug 557922] Re: ubiquity installer crashes in Kubuntu 64bit lucid

2010-05-21 Thread Partho Benerjee
I face exactly same issue as above. When I try to install Ubuntu 10.04
on hard disk while ubuntu is active as live CD session (that's
unetbootin install on physical hard drive mapped to /cdrom ), the
installation ends with the same error as in above post. So I can't see
changes after system reboot.

I don't have the option of burning the iso file on cd and installing as my CD 
drive is not functioning.
I know little bit of shell programming and not scared of generic terminal 
commands but I am ubuntu noob.

Any help/pointers would be genuinely appreciated

Regards
Partho
