Package: kopete
Version: 4:4.2.2-1
Severity: normal

Hallo,

The status of kopete is not set to "online" on startup.

I have the setting Behaviour->Initial Status set to "Online". I have
also one account, a WLM-account with password saved and NOT "Exclude
from connect all" set.

Kopete is starting up with the state "Offline". In case I set the state to
"Online" manualy, it changes the state without problems.
I was expecting kopete to startup in the "Online" state.

Regards,
Vincent Smeets

Hallo,

I am closing this bug as I have found the problem and it isn't a kopete problem.

On my system (Debian-Testing) I have the NetworkManager running, but it was never configured. I found out that the file /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf contained the line "managed=false". So the NetworkManager didn't know the state of the network.
After setting the line to "managed=true" and restarting does the NetworkManager know the network state. Now NetworkManager knows the state and can pass it to kopete. Kopete now automatically goes to the online state as expected.

Kopete checks the network state of the NetworkManager before setting the initial state of Kopete. The problem is that this doesn't work in case the NetworkManager isn't working correctly. That was my problem. There are some solutions to this problem:
  • Always set the initial state to the state defined by the settings and after that, react on state changes from the NetworkManager.
  • Keep the current behavior and add some description to the setting that the initial state is only set in case the NetworkManager has been configured and the network is online.

Can you also close the bug (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=189149) in KDE as I don't have an account there.

Regards,
Vincent Smeets
