The error message instructs the user to use the file menu to put the application in "online mode" so that it will do something. In fact there is no file menu whatsoever and no discernible way to change the preferences. An application should never instruct a user to do something which they cannot possibly do, and that _is_ a bug.
Possible solutions: -Add a button to either the error message or somewhere in the app* that allows them to do what the error message is telling them to do. -Change the error message to tell the user that they need to contact the NM people to get their package fixed. -Change the error message to tell the user that they should uninstall the app because it just ain't gonna work for them right now. This is NOT entirely a problem with network manager, please reconsider. If anything else possibly a problem in Xulrunner. *There is a context menu available in the otherwise empty window that currently has "select all" as the only enabled option. Perhaps putting a toggle to "online mode" in there would be a good idea since there is currently nothing to select. -- Prism apps think I'm offline and no way to change it https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/197786 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
