[Bug 252581] [NEW] Problem with Kontact when bypassing knetworkmanager

[Nathan Flowers]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdepim


As far as I understand Kontact has an off line mode like Firefox. I use a script to connect to my secured wireless network </can't figure out wpa gui and it breaks every thing :- ( not what I'm here for> using the script makes knetworkmanager think that I'm not connected to any wireless networks. when I use Firefox I always have to switch from off line mode to online mode. My investigation in to the mater shows that I can use Kontact on my home wireless (using knetworkmanager to connect) and send and receive email just fine. It's only when I use my script to connect to my secured wireless network that the problem occurs, scene I'm bypassing knetworkmanager, some of my applications think that I'm not actually online. Is their a setting that I can set in Kontact so it will act as tho I'm online and try to communicate any way.. Like Firefox has an offline mode you can set to online?

** Affects: kdepim (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Incomplete
