[Bug 662766] Re: does not reconnect after suspend/resume

2012-09-08 Thread Akkana Peck
This might not be specific to empathy: I see the same issue in xchat and weechat. There's something else affecting it, though: from home on the wired net, xchat always reconnects right away when I resume from suspend, but when I'm traveling and using wifi, neither xchat nor weechat will reconnect a

A week ago I wrote about un-blacklisting the module. But even with the pcspkr module loaded (lsmod shows it), most of the time there's no beep, either in or out of X. The pcspkr module seems very flaky in Ubuntu kernels. I've never figured out why; if I build my own kernel, pcspkr works fine, wheth

Aside from any posible future nautilus UI, I'm not seeing from the hal- disable-polling documentation how someone could use it to disable all polling.

Nope. Neither your example, nor the example that's already in the file (which is different: it nests the storage.removable case inside the storage.hotpluggable case) stops the polling. If anything it might be more frequent after making the change. (Yes, I did also uncomment the lines, and I'm r
