User-Agent: Opera/9.80 (X11; Linux x86_64; U; Edition Next; en) Presto/2.10.269 Version/12.00 Build Identifier: As reported on LP: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plasma-widget-networkmanagement/+bug/362555 After a quite long uptime my ip address is changed from 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.101, but the network manager (plasma-widget-network-manager) still report the old ip address. It happen every time I reboot my router (and dhcp server)... Network Manager (or plasma-widget-network-manager) should be able to show the current ip address, and not just the one obtained a week ago. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Obtain an address via DHCP (i don't know if the problem exists even with a static address... may be) 2. Change the address manually with ifconfig... 3. Take a look at the network-manager widget and see the old address... Actual Results: The old address (obtained at step 1) is still shown Expected Results: It is expected to see the newly configured address (from step 2)
Plasma NM retrieves the IP address (from NetworkManager) when NetworkManager signals a state change on the interface. If NetworkManager is not aware of the IP change then there is nothing we can do about it.
