Jeremy, the localhost problem is a valid issue and is a different bug, please file it.
Besides from that we want to use a service to determine online/offline state; this would allow us to improve user experience in many ways; the fact that network manager is not able to manage all types of connections is unfortunate, but isn't a problem for the majority of our users. For now if you are struck by this, disable the feature using about:config. Also, be assured that we are unhappy about the current situation and are working on real solutions to the problem; one idea is to move online/offline detection to a dedicated and connection-manager- independent service that can deal with all type of connections. So stay tuned. Thanks for your patience. -- [MASTER] [WORKAROUND] "Offline Mode" feature fails to detect proper online state for networks that are managed outside of network manager. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191889 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
