[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 999744] Re: docklets that require network connectivity do not update

[Stephen Zimmerman]

Confirmed this bug, but with a weird qualification:

With a default install of Xubuntu 12.04 I ran into this problem
consistently (i.e. I never saw either applet populate data), regardless
of wired/wireless connectivity, and across many system restarts and
docky restarts.

For unrelated reasons, I uninstalled the network-manager package and
replaced it with wicd. The applets now work flawlessly. I don't know
enough about how Docky determines connectivity to say whether this is
its problem or network-manager's, but I have now confirmed that making
this switch fixes the problem on multiple machines.

Title:
  docklets that require network connectivity do not update

Status in “docky” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Docklets such as weather and gmail that require network connectivity
  to function do not update. I was able to add my location to the
  weather docklet and was able to successfully verify my gmail
  credentials in the gmail docklet settings, but neither of them will
  updated even with full network connectivity on my machine. I expect
  the weather to display and the gmail docklet to function properly.
  This was not present in natty.
