akregator does not update feeds when I click "Fetch All Feeds"; the status bar
shows "Networking is not available.". I can browse the Internet just fine; I
have unrestricted IPv4 and IPv6 address and DNS resolution works fine. I am not
using any network managers.

Does this happen any time, or (for example) after resuming from suspend?
Can you please paste the outputs of the following commands:
$ qdbus org.kde.kded /modules/networkstatus networks
$ qdbus org.kde.kded /modules/networkstatus status

Thanks,

It has happened multiple times (so before and after I rebooted), and
most of the times after a suspend (but that's just because I'm using
suspend twice or three times a day, and only rebooting every couple of
months or so). I've tried it out a little bit: Akregator seems to
update itself just after the resume. I can't reboot right now
(long-running process without statefile :( ), but I'll try to
reproduce the problem just after a reboot asap.

$ qdbus org.kde.kded /modules/networkstatus networks
SolidNetwork
ntrack
$ qdbus org.kde.kded /modules/networkstatus status
1

Thanks for the fast reply!

Ok, so both at login after boot and after resume, but not always.
I see you already reported it upstream [1]; there was also an existing
bug [2] although that says explicitly about resuming (only).

Hm, it'd seem like the ntrack backend explicitly reports "not connected"
somehow, not sure why (especially if you say that you are connected fine
-- and the ntrack libraries do not provide utilities).
In the meanwhile, you could try to manually set a connected state for
the SolidNetwork network:
$ qdbus org.kde.kded /modules/networkstatus setNetworkStatus \
   "SolidNetwork" 4

Thanks, I know where to look then and will examine what ntrack is doing.

Excellent, this workaround lets Akregator update feeds again. Thanks
for the help!

Hello,

I have the same issue with Akregator.

  $ qdbus org.kde.kded /modules/networkstatus networks
ntrack
  $ qdbus org.kde.kded /modules/networkstatus status
1

With current testing version, I tried the workaround
  $ qdbus org.kde.kded /modules/networkstatus setNetworkStatus "SolidNetwork"
4

but Akregator still reported Network is not available and
   $ qdbus org.kde.kded /modules/networkstatus status
1

Reading https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28850 I found an alternative command
that actually works:

  $ qdbus org.kde.kded /modules/networkstatus
org.kde.Solid.Networking.setNetworkStatus ntrack 4
  $ qdbus org.kde.kded /modules/networkstatus status
4


https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=226022#c11 provides some insights about
it and a general web search about "org.kde.kded /modules/networkstatus ntrack"
does not look so good (many KDE apps having the same problem that all seems to
pinpoint to this ntrack). Let's hope they'll fix that upstream.

Regards,

I have the same issue with Akregator (4:4.14.1-1)

`killall kded4` works as workaround.
