Bug ID: 403871
Summary: networkdependent widgets not updated if network is not
ready at startup
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.14.90
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: fabio.coa...@gmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
I'm using a desktop widget that needs network (comics strip downloader) and
also I'm using a desktop background theme that downloads pics from internet
(astronomy pic of the day). When network is ready at startup (i.e. wired
connection) everything works as expected; however if the network is started
later (say because wlan requires auth credentials) comics widget never gets
updated and the spinner is shown forever, even if the network becomes available
(not even cached images are shown). Also background is not updated. To update
the widget it I have to run "kquitapp5 plasmashell ; kstart5 plasmashell" after
network is available.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start kde without network connection and comics strip widget on screen
2. Check that widget is not updated
3. restart plasmashell
4. check that widget is updated.
OBSERVED RESULT
Widget not updated
EXPECTED RESULT
widget updated once network is ready
