Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
===Summary===:
If you try to add a new location to the clock applet (right click the applet >
preferences > Locations > Add), and you have no internet connection, the
applet's dialog will sit there and block forever. You will have to kill the
panel to stop it.
===Release Info===:
This is using a fully up-to-date Hardy beta installed from the Ubuntu alternate
CD.
===Package info===:
gnome-panel & clock applet(/usr/lib/gnome-panel/libclock-applet.so)
gnome-panel:
Installed: 1:2.22.0-0ubuntu2
Candidate: 1:2.22.0-0ubuntu2
Version table:
*** 1:2.22.0-0ubuntu2 0
500 http://archive.ubuntu.com hardy/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
===What I expected to happen===:
If you need to have an Internet connection, we should change the dialog to be
disabled and have a message that says you need a net connection to create a new
location. If you don't need a net connection, and we have cached the locations
on disk, then it should just work.
Since it is most likely that they will need a net connection: I made a
little mockup of how we could change the dialog to reflect that:
