Actually this is not a firefox / nm interaction issue at all ( I have seen this one, and know how to work around it). It is purely network-manager failing to correctly manage network devices.

Klaus, I filed bug for FF lacking way to defeat off line mode, several months ago. People refused to see that most users might never use or need off line mode. People refused to change FF behavior to avoid users switching to browser with less vexing behavior. Finally they combined my bug with bug blaming other programs for FF being off line. No consideration seemed to be given for default on line behavior as you desired. Why the people in control of FF would want to have the only browser that so discourages users is beyond my understanding. -- God Bless You, Eric Lee Elliott e...@eric-elliott.comhttp://eric-elliott.com 800.827.5038870.613.1398 PMB 6755, 167 Rainbow Drive, Livingston TX 77399-1067 On Tuesday 23 December 2008 17:57:34 Klaus Thorn wrote: Firefox 3.0.5 starts in offline mode, failing to detect that I am online (with a connection which Opera, ping and apt-get all know to use well).

I searched it in the network settings, (just a hint for the usability experts out there). This issue is not only technical but political. I think it is an important aspect and I will not search another hour for the correct place for publishing it, this place is good enough: It is obvious and reported here that the crucial user experence with firefox is crushed in many cases by this bug. It is easy to understand that improving the detection of online states will always be inferiour to just try to connect, because the latter depends on less other programs. Those programs, like all software, will have bugs and missing features, which curretly is the case. Neither do I expect Network Manager or Firefox to understand all features of wvdial or pppd nor should firefox rely on Network Manager or dbus. I think it is clear that correctly auto-enabling the offline mode is much less important than being able to use an online connection. Despite all of this, the bug got closed, people are told that they don't write enough information, that the bug is a bug of another program, or that part of their reports have nothing to do with this bug. All of these counter-arguments do not lead to a solution but do defend the problem and the problematic decision to auto-enable offline mode due to messages from dbus, network-manager or whatever. Changing the behaviour of Firefox (back to always start in online mode and just try to connect) isn't difficult in terms of problem-solving or programming. It was there in Firefox 2 I assume, so it is more a decision than a technical problem. Who decides? And who decides whether a technocrat, bureaucrat or service-oriented human is dealing with this problem? Do the ubuntu users have influence here? Or the firefox users? I had enough technocrats and bureaucrats giving answers in politician's style, instead of solving problems in Firefox, Openoffice etc.. So if I am part of the power deciding about Firefox and Ubuntu, just because I use it, spread the word about it and install it on dozens of machines, then I vote for starting firefox in online mode by default and for replacing the persons dealing with this bug. Wether they are paid or altruistic, they should not be able to continue to worsen this fine piece of software.

Logging out didn't help. I tried reinstalling network-manager and network-manager-gnome, it prompted me to restart, which I did, and still nothing. I went to my Sessions Preferences and the Network Manager Applet was listed there with a command nm-applet --sm-disable I checked my System Monitor Processes and nm-applet appears to be running, but just to try I killed it and ran sudo nm-applet --sm-disable. Still nothing. I thought that network manager was different than nm-applet actually, but I wasn't sure. If that's the case, I don't know how to start network manager. I checked Services and Session Preferences and didn't find anything helpful in either (besides the Network Manager Applet I mentioned).

I just upgraded to Intrepid and NM 0.7 works wonderfully for me. It automatically detects my Bluetooth Pan (no more hacking around to set it up! :-D ) and everything starts online as it should. Only problem is it is not detected as a Mobile Broadband connection, but who cares as long as I get proper results (i.e. - I'm recognised as online)? IMO, Network Manager 0.7 needs to be backported to Hardy by the 8.04.2 release, if not sooner. -- [MASTER] [WORKAROUND] Offline Mode feature fails to detect proper online state for networks that are managed outside of network manager. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191889 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

There wasn't a way for me to create a connection via Network Administration ToolNetwork Settings as there is no ttyUSB0 choice (there is in KPPP) so I use wvdial to connect to the internet. That means I'm not always connected. Hello, there are some of us that still use dial-up. Firefox 3 gives me the same offline mode problem. I fixed it by purging network-manager, which also purged network-manager-gnome. Now Firefox 3 starts up as it used to in previous versions without any problems. I decided to remove network-manager as it states in the description for this utility NetworkManager attempts to keep an active network connection available at all times. Well, that may be all well for cable and wireless connections, but not for dial-up. I also didn't like to see it in my panel with the little red x, as it never found a connection for when I would use dial up. So, it's partly a problem with NM as well.

Please post your /etc/network/interfaces file for the (not-working) 2nd-workaround attempt. for 1 you go to about:config (in firefox location bar); and use the right mouse button somewhere in the config table you will see to say New - Boolean. Then you use the preference name i said and say true. For that to work you need to be sure to use firefix 3.0.1. you can check the version by running dpkg -l firefox-3.0 on a terminal or in firefox in Help - About. - Alexander -- [MASTER] [WORKAROUND] Offline Mode feature fails to detect proper online state for networks that are managed outside of network manager. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191889 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
