Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gaim
Running on ubuntu and kubuntu dapper.
Similar to bug #64809, but in my case signoff crashes the application,
requiring a force quit. What I think causes the different behaviour is whether
or not the network connection is the same. The problem is essentially this:
If I'm at uni - with a fixed ip address - with gaim running, and then put my
laptop into hibernation and come back the next day without using the laptop in
between, the signoff-signon procedure works. If, however, I then go home and
use it signing off crashes gaim and I need to force quit it. It used to be
that if I used the laptop at home in consecutive sessions (with a hibernation
in between) that I had no problem, but this afternoon the problem did appear.
This could be because my router assigned a different ip address this time, or
perhaps because I recently installed laptop-net. Either way it seem to have
something to do with changing ip address. laptop-net will, of course,
automatically disconnect and reconnect the ethernet link on bootup/resume,
while ubuntu doesn't necessarily do this requiring a "$sudo
/etc/init.d/networking restart" command to get connected.
Incidentally, I use both msn and gmail messaging.
