having the mode stated in the log file could help users spot what's
going on.
There are scripts (named `1polipo') in the /etc/ppp/ip-{up,down}.d for
restarting polipo at ppp on and off.
These scripts can be copied also in /etc/network/if-{up,down}.d
accordingly, as proposed in bug #305852 [1]. Please try to do it, and
if it helps, I'll do it in package.
Yes, this helps.
(Instead, I once had a problem when I switched the network (switched off
in one network, rebooted offline and plugged into new one), but I'm not
sure about the exact sequence of events. In case this happens again,
I'll report it as a separate issue).

Bug#418715: polipo: always starts in offline mode
Hi Frank!
Is this problem still actual?
I think that your system hasn't default route at the polipo daemon
start. There is offlineMode() function in
/usr/lib/polipo/polipo-control:
offlineMode() {
# At the moment this only depends on the presence of a default route
# Eventually this will be configurable via $OPTION_FILE
if /sbin/route -n | grep ^0.0.0.0 /dev/null; then
# We have a default route - go online
echo -n false
else
# We don't have a default route - go offline
echo -n true
fi
}
This function used when polipo starting to identify is there default
route present or not and if it isn't -- starts offline.

DS [EMAIL PROTECTED] (04/07/2007): Is this problem still actual? I've just had the same problem (although my sid environment hasn't been updated for some days). I think that your system hasn't default route at the polipo daemon start. Being neither wired or wirelessly-associated at boot-time, that's the case here. This function used when polipo starting to identify is there default route present or not and if it isn't -- starts offline. Would it be possible that polipo toggles (on|off)line modes when needed? (I mean: not only choosing at startup) At least documenting this (IMHO quite) common problem in README.Debian could be interesting. Also, having the mode stated in the log file could help users spot what's going on. Cheers, -- Cyril Brulebois pgp7MjrdvAsAK.pgp Description: PGP signature

Bug#418715: polipo: always starts in offline mode
Package: polipo Version: 0.9.12-1 Severity: normal After starting the system - even with a working ethernet connection from the beginning - polipo is always in offline mode and gives this error message: Only after /etc/init.d/polipo restart is browsing possible. This is a default etch install, I don't know which other information would be useful. (By the way, polipo-control is documented nowhere in the installed package, it seems; grepping for online or on-line doesn't give useful results).

What system are you using to run your init scripts? I noticed polipo doesn't have an explicit dependency on $network listed in /etc/init.d/polipo. This could cause the problem you mention.
