USC and UbuntuOne are the only programs that rely solely on Network Manager and that's wrong. I don't have to do anything for other programs to use them online.
WvDial connection works for: Chrome / Chromium Opera and Opera Next Konqueror and rekonq Transmission and qBittorrent gPodder (Podcast client) Steam native and Wine Desura / Desurium native and Wine Gnome System Monitor (displays all internet related information) WiMP service like Spotify (it's a program made in Adobe AIR) Nuvola Player Thunderbird JDownloader and this list could go on and on. I'm also sure that all mentioned programs wouldn't have problems if I would connect through Wicd or PPPoE but of course Ubuntu Software Center and Ubuntu One are better because they use the one and only Network Manager. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/911706 Title: USC relies on NM to be online, can't force online if not using NM To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/911706/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
