Ubuntu Lucid: Only half social from the start! I have this problem too and think it is a serious break in the usability. I'm not sure this is a bug but more of a missing feature. The first thing I did when I upgrade to Lucid, was click that menu, setup my accounts, and try to set status to "available" only to be disappointed. You can sign off but not back on? Doesn't make sense to me at least. And when a chat client is not loaded, the menu doesn't automatically boot one up? (conversation for a different bug I know, can someone point me to it?)
Preferred behavior: -When a chat client is running and user clicks "offline," the chat client goes offline and status options in the me-menu remain active and clickable -When user clicks any of those status options, the client then goes in that state -I don't think there should ever be a time when the options are greyed out except for when no accounts are setup in the preferences because at any point, if a user clicks one of those status options, the me-menu should "make it so" and open up any and all clients it needs to and set their statuses to what the user just selected. -- Once status is set to offline the me menu becomes disabled so can't be used to go online https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550824 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
