I re-tested with Qt 5.4.0 (from the ppa) and a custom build of unity- scopes-api (with switch-to-netcpp branch reverted) and I couldn't reproduce the networking issues of smartscopesproxy anymore. It looks like Qt 5.4.0 did fix that particular instance of the qt networking issue for us.
I cannot comment on the other issue that Thomas mentioned in this bug report - there is no clear scenario for reproducing seldom failures where shell plugin thinks that network is not available (because it's told so be Qt's network access manager) and passes network=false flag down to scopes with search. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1413269 Title: Qt network being unreliable establishing a connection To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1413269/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
