If you click on it and select "Enable networking" nothing happens of course because NM isn't running. It seems that only the live installations on desktops are affected because they always are shipped with the nm-applet and in this succession copy it too during installation but NM gets deactivated during stage 2 if the system is not a laptop. Nevertheless would it be better if NM gets always activated at least on computer with a WLAN connection. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

No, NetworkManager works fine it is just deactivated by default if you install openSUSE on a desktop instead of a laptop. This is an explicit decision I suppose because NM isn't necessarily needed if you don't change your connection regularly. But like I said NM doesn't hurt either and it makes many things easier because you don't have to search in Yast to set up a network but can use the systray icon to manage your connections. If you enable NetworkManager in Yast after the installation everything works fine but how should a new user know this? So since this design decision will most likely not be reverted in 11.4 maybe there could be a message box if you click on the nm plasmoid which informs you that NM is disabled and can be enabled in "Yast - Network" or something like that. Or as an alternative if you click in the plasmoid on "enable networking" NM gets activated if it is deactivated. I think this should fix the issue without interfering with the decision. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
