The only time I've seen anything like this was specifically in Evolution (which I use under KDE, not Gnome). It hasn't happened for a a long time now but IIRC it was related to a misconfigured NetworkManager. Gnome gets its "online" status by querying NM over DBUS, so If you have scripts that sideline NM that could be the cause. poc ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

I'm going to be vague since I can't find what I'm looking for, but. I recall that there is a process which, if enabled, will periodically connect to a fedoraproject server to verify it is connected to the internet. I'm guessing you have that running and when on the VPN those checks are being blocked. Sorry, I can't be more specific but I recall either disabling or erasing the package that provided that. -- Right: I dislike the default color scheme Wrong: What idiot picked the default color scheme ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org

Problem with Gnome remaining offline
Hi I have a laptop with Fedora 30 and on it I use VPN. Now after I upgraded from Fedora 29 I've got the problem that Gnome applications like Evolution and Gnome Software don't work anymore because they think the computer is offline when VPN is activated. Also the wifi icon in the upper right hand side corner has a question mark over it. But in actuality there is the computer is online, I can use applications like Firefox normally. Also in Gnome Settings -> Wifi it tells me it is connected. First questions - can I some how tell applications like Evolution and Gnome Software to just ignore whether it thinks it is online or offline? Second question - how could I find out why Gnome thinks it is offline?
