If NM is 'offline' (e.g. disconnected from > wired and not associated with any wifi access points) then USC will > not show reviews and will disable the Install button. > > This is fine if you use Network Manager to get online. If you have to > use something else (for example to use pppoe) then you will not be > able to install apps in USC, or read reviews. > > Other applications work around this by providing a 'Go online' option > somewhere in a menu. For example Firefox has the 'Work Offline' menu > item in the "File" menu which becomes ticked when network manger is > offline. > > Perhaps USC could implement a similar feature? > > ProblemType: Bug > DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 > Package: software-center 5.1.4 > ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-7.13-generic 3.2.0-rc7 > Uname: Linux 3.2.0-7-generic x86_64 > NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia wl > ApportVersion: 1.90-0ubuntu1 > Architecture: amd64 > Date: Wed Jan 4 11:25:25 2012 > InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Beta amd64 (20110901) > PackageArchitecture: all > SourcePackage: software-center > UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2011-12-22 (12 days ago) > > To manage notifications about this bug go to: > > https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/911706/+subscriptions > -- 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
