Bug ID: 414368
Summary: pkcon incorrectly assumes no network is available
Product: apper
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dantt...@gmail.com
Reporter: edfoundkde...@galaxy.za.net
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Apology if this not "apper" related, but I could not find pkcon KDE NEON app in
the drop-down. Please let the
correct people know. (Richard Hughes?) http://www.packagekit.org.
pkcon does not look at active network interfaces and ASSUMES incorrectly that
network is unavailable.
root@mymachine-bash ~ # pkcon refresh
\Refreshing cache [=========================]
Waiting for authentication [=========================]
Loading cache [=========================]
Finished [=========================]
Fatal error: Cannot refresh cache whilst offline
root@mymachine-bash ~ # ifconfig
enp4s0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.56.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.56.255
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. have a static network IP unmanaged by Network-Manager
2. run pkcon refresh .. or pkcon update
3. sit back in dismay, and then rather run apt dist-upgrade which works.
OBSERVED RESULT
it breaks
EXPECTED RESULT
Expected it to work like APT.. (it just works).
It should not rely on high-level monstrous apps like Network-Manager, go lower.
