When I close the laptop lid something goes wrong with proper account
disconnecting.
After my notebook suspended, I still appear online for my contacts, even though
I am not (on any computer).

It is strange, that in the (attached) pidgin log I see the NetworkManager event
which should disconnect my account, so that I am no longer online, but it
doesn't work.


I am using systemd as init system (if that is important).

Given that the pidgin logs say that it disconnected correctly, are you sure
this is a pidgin bug and not the XMPP server? Does the server immediately
mark you as offline if you exit pidgin manually?

Thanks for responding so quickly.

I am not entirely sure no, but I tried with various different XMPP
servers (prosody, ejabberd, public ones like google-talk).
It does mark me offline if I exit manually, yes.

So you cannot reproduce this behaviour?

Hello Ari!
I am also affected by this bug.
When I suspend the computer Pidgin never succeeds to mark me offline and so I appear online till my XMPP connections time out.
So I have lots of confusion and lost messages with my buddies.

I think the failing disconnecting is caused by systemd + NetworkManager.
It seems that NetworkManager cuts of the network connection instantly when going to suspend.
Then Pidgin tries to disconnect the chat accounts and of course it never reaches the XMPP server.

Bruno

Hello all,
I did further investigation on Pidgin's failure to disconnect on suspend
and I think it's a bug in NetworkManager that is causing this behavior.

I reported it upstream here:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748531

Greetings,
