Bug#717484: alternative workaround for Akregator does not update feeds, reports "Networking is not available"

[Mathieu ROY <yeupou@gnu.org>]

Hello,

I have the same issue with Akregator.
 
  $ qdbus org.kde.kded /modules/networkstatus networks 
ntrack
  $ qdbus org.kde.kded /modules/networkstatus status
1

With current testing version, I tried the workaround
  $ qdbus org.kde.kded /modules/networkstatus setNetworkStatus "SolidNetwork" 
4

but Akregator still reported Network is not available and
   $ qdbus org.kde.kded /modules/networkstatus status
1

Reading https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28850 I found an alternative command 
that actually works:

  $ qdbus org.kde.kded /modules/networkstatus 
org.kde.Solid.Networking.setNetworkStatus ntrack 4
  $ qdbus org.kde.kded /modules/networkstatus status
4


https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=226022#c11 provides some insights about 
it and a general web search about "org.kde.kded /modules/networkstatus ntrack" 
does not look so good (many KDE apps having the same problem that all seems to 
pinpoint to this ntrack). Let's hope they'll fix that upstream.

Regards,
