[Andreas Hasenack]

Hello Antoine, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gnome-shell into noble-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-
shell/46.0-0ubuntu6~24.04.13 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed
repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
noble to verification-done-noble. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-noble. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)

  shell/-/merge_requests/3910

  ---------------------------
  SRU Justification:

  [ Impact ]

   * The "ethernet connected" symbol is displayed when no network
  connection is available.  If a WiFi connection is available then the
  WiFi symbol is displayed and if an Ethernet connection is available
  then the Ethernet icon is (correctly) displayed but if neither is
  available (WiFi switched off and cable unplugged) then the Ethernet
  icon is still displayed.

   * With the above, the reconnection is fixed.

  [ Fix ]

   * When there is no active main connection or it uses a device type we do not handle, the indicator icon and its visibility depend on the global connectivity.
   
   * However we currently don't update the icon on connectivity changes, with the result that we sometimes show the fallback connection icon when the network is in fact disconnected.

   * To fix this, update the icon whenever the (global) connectivity
  changes.

  [ Test Plan ]

   1. Connect to wifi, see the wifi icon

   2. Disconnect wifi from the menubar, see the ethernet icon pops in

   3. Do it again with the fix: no ethernet icon pops in

   4. Reconnect wifi, see the icon transitioning to connecting ->
  connected.

  [ Where problems could occur ]

   * The _updateIcon is now called more often than before, not less, so
  more frequent icon updates can be expected, but only when they are
  actually relevant thankfully.
