*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 272799 *** This isn't directly a duplicate of bug 272799. Can I conclude that there is going to be a way to refresh in 4.6.3? Becuase I am using an svn version ("4.6.3 (4.6.3) "release 4"" according to sysinfo:/. This is supposed to be a stable repo - oh well) and I still don't see a way to refresh. (Ok it is 4.6.3 stable. I'm out of the loop.) You can go backwards and then forward again. Though you are right there should be a reload option. The going backwards and then forward again hasn't been working recently (though it did at first). The comic doesn't reload. This might have to do with not using Networkmanager, but WICD. True, and exists on 4.6.2 (Kubuntu 11.04) as well. It's fine when I'm on Ethernet, but when I'm on WiFi, because it attempts to load the comic before I have entered the wallet password to connect, it stays there, and going back and forth usually works, but sometimes it simply hangs on loading the latest one. Bothers me because it didn't happen on 10.10 (can't remember the KDE version). The code is there in Comic to refresh whenever you are connected again to the internet. It does not work because of WICD or ntrack or whatever. I talked for 2 hours today to the network and Solid developer to try to see what's happening but the code is there fo rit to work if you have the proper version of KDE and the proper version of NetworkManger which I do not for example... Reassigning to Network Management If you use Wicd you ust use KDE SC >= 4.7.2 for the network status work properly. Which SC version do you use? Idk if this question was for me or for Argyris, but it's been a while and I'm using Networkmanager now, so the bug doesn't apply to me anymore. Maybe he can help with that. (In reply to comment #9) > Idk if this question was for me or for Argyris, but it's been a while and I'm > using Networkmanager now, so the bug doesn't apply to me anymore. Maybe he can > help with that. Yes, the question was for both of you. I just want to know if the bug is still valid. For Wicd you should test with KDE SC >= 4.7.2, since you do not use Wicd anymore than I just want to know if you still can reproduce the bug. No, I cannot reproduce at all times in KDE 4.7.4 and with Networkmanager. I do sometimes have problems sometimes (i.e. up until recently, but only for a few weeks), but not at the moment. And I'm not sure from memory what exactly didn't work a week back or so, I think I had to go back 2 comics and then back forward so that it would reload, but I'm not sure.

Delay statusChanged(Solid::Networking::Connected) signal a bit. It looks like networking is not really connected right after networkstatus module receives the "Connected" signal from backend (tested with NetworkManager).

The plasmoid still does not automatically reload the strip if it had failed before. You need to got back and forward until it realises the computer is connected to the Internet. Someone needs to fix that in the Comic plasmoid. *** Bug 291488 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Jfyi: The thing that I had mentioned that I had noticed is that "Jump to current" (paraphrazing, sorry) from the context menu doesn't if loading has failed before. Suppose the comic that did not load successfully because the internet connection wasn't set up at the time is the most recent one. Then, if I wanted to reload the most recent comic, I could not only go back and forward, but also use the reload button through the context menu. But recently, I would have to use the back button, because the function in the context menu doesn't work. I know this is a different problem. Sorry. :-) I'll look into it as soon as I find some time. Unfortunately I have absolutely no free time at the moment, thus it might take till february before I can give you an update on this. What the status of the bug? Does it still happen with 4.8.1? This works fine for me now. Thanks! Closing |
