Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Bryan Haskins (toxiclife999) >Assigned to: Sean Egan (seanegan) Summary: Issue with the new NEtwork Manager Functionality Initial Comment: Now that gaim tries to use NM by default it proves a problem when you have a distro which installs NM by default (Ubuntu Feisty) but you can't use NM (incompatible dialup) This meaning I must uninstall nm, thus removing the metapackage for all main desktop debs (meta for new standard packages), which is bothersome. Needless to say, a tick box for ignoring NM would be highly beneficial to some people like myself. And it just makes sense. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bryan Haskins (toxiclife999) Date: 2007-02-01 15:05 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1706157 Originator: YES But that's not remotely what the problem is, if you have to have NM installed, and Gaim is compiled by your distro with dbus, and NM doesn't happen to work with you, or you don't want to use it. Gaim is crippled making the user do annoying things to connect. the NM support should be a choice after compilation was well as compile-time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: authUSER (authuser) Date: 2007-02-01 13:00 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1234448 Originator: NO All i can say is that it helps to compile gaim with ./configure --disable-dbus I solved my problem with updating NM to version 0.6.4 0.6.3 and maybe below don't seem to work (i think these versions have bugs) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bryan Haskins (toxiclife999) Date: 2007-01-31 14:02 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1706157 Originator: YES Well, that is along the same lines but mine more is to it performing just as it's supposed to, which causes the problem. With network manager installed (for the sake of argument let's say it needs to be installed.) If it's installed but you don't/can't use it, gaim won't connect, it waits for NM to show there being an active connection... this is really troublesome. It looks to me as though your problem is NM not installed, or partially installed, so it looks for it more than just the dbus tag and turns up the same as it finding it but with no connection reported resulting in you not being able to connect normally, of course for me with NM installed, I can't connect at all. I was going to report it to Ubuntu Feisy Launchpad (Bug Boards) first but realized it's more of an upstream thing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: authUSER (authuser) Date: 2007-01-31 08:08 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1234448 Originator: NO I can confirm that this is a problem, cause if i start gaim 2.0beta6 i get this errors: Session Management: ICE initialized. Session Management: Connecting with no previous ID Session Management: Handling new ICE connection... done. Session Management: Connected to manager (GnomeSM) with client ID 117f000101000117024881600000045670014 Session Management: Using gaim as command network: NetworkManager not active or reports no connection (retval = 2) dbus: Need to register an object with the dbus subsystem. g_log: file dbus-server.c: line 118 (gaim_dbus_pointer_to_id): should not be reached network: NetworkManager not active or reports no connection (retval = 2) account: Network not connected; skipping reconnect Session Management: Received first save_yourself Session Management: Received save_complete docklet: embedded network: Entering nm_callback_func! So gaim does not connect on startup, i have to disable the accounts and enable them again to get loged in. I use Ubuntu Edgy ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100235&aid=1648433&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
