What does that mean for Unbuntu Karmic round of development?

When can we expect to see the fix for this one?

(gnome-network-properties:22809): network-properties-WARNING **: Could not load main dialog: Unhandled tag: 'attributes'

Still not working today 25-Aug-2009 with all updates applied.

gnome-network-properties

(gnome-network-properties:2877): network-properties-WARNING **: Could not load main dialog: Unhandled tag: 'attributes'

The package has not been updated yet, but shouldn't take longer, fix will be available with gnome-contro-center 2.27.9X or later if you're facing the same with older release, please do not comment re re re confirming the issue. More over as you might know Karmic is a development release so things like this one might happen during the process if you want an stable release use jaunty. Thanks all.

Hi Pedro - not sure about Sam, but I keep two disks with Karmic on them for testing purposes and do full file-system backups with fsarchiver so I can test for and recover from regressions.

So its a lot of work to keep up with the various updates and while ensuring I can roll back to re-test individual parts of large updates.

In this case I guess the comment might have been better put as:

"Hey check the status of the Bug - Its not yet "Fix Released" - hence do not expect any change in behaviour. There is no need to confirm as there is a comment re an upstream fix coming..."

I am sure Sam was trying to be helpful.... :)

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-control-center - 1:2.27.91-0ubuntu1

Network proxy is still not working in a reliable fashion when trying to switch locations. For example i have 2 profiles: one using proxy and the second with Direct internet connection. If i switch between locations the proxy is applied to Firefox but not to Synaptic. The only way to fix this is to log out and in.
