Description Forgotten User 10buyl7JnO 2009-12-05 07:27:38 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US) AppleWebKit/532.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/4.0.260.0 Safari/532.5

As knetworkmanager was not obeying the default connection and always using system connection, I thought of switching to traditional method from yast. After some days I switched back to knetworkmanager but it doesn't start in startup. I always have to start manually.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open yast network management.
2. Switch to traditional method.
3. Save.
4. Switch back to knetworkmanager.
Actual Results:  
knetworkmanager doesn't start in startup.

Expected Results:  
knetworkmanager should start automatically on change.

The situation has worsen now. After trying above steps, it gives error that no network is running. knetworkmanager is rendered useless now. It doesn't detect any network. I verified that NetworkManager is running. It shows following in NetworkManger log.

- konfirm: even putting knetworkmanager in autostart doesn't work
- starting knetworkmanager per mouse click from menu/icon does work

Comment 3 Will Stephenson 2010-06-17 14:53:28 UTC

Possible dupe 595432 with troubleshooting

Comment 4 Frank Schäfer 2011-03-13 18:12:29 UTC

Same problem under openSUSE 11.3.

Comment 5 Forgotten User --EoyBps8f 2011-12-08 18:51:37 UTC

seems a dup of bug 595432

In case it is not: knetworkmanager is unmaintained and will not receive any non-security updates anymore. You can update your KDE and use plasmoid-networkmanagement.
