Your idea is like asking a car owner to discuss problems with an OEM parts maker, because Ford, GM, etc. didn't make the part causing the problem. BTW, I used to do 3rd level support at IBM Canada and if there was a problem with one of my products, it was my responsibility to take it to the developers, even if at another company, if necessary.

Obviously you want to help with your bug reports. Kim just told you how you could do it even more helpful.

cu, Rudi Except I don't think this is an upstream issue. Rather I think its an issue with policykit being set wrong. But of course it always make sense to blame upstream before bothering to exhaust local possibilities. http://wstaw.org/m/2011/11/20/nmneedsrootafterputtinginwifipassword.png -- Roger Luedecke openSUSE Ambassador Ind.

Nope. You should work with the maintainers and not the packagers. It's impossible for those few KDE people at openSUSE to know all of KDE's code or fix everything you come up with. Thus it makes sense (effectiveness and efficiency-wise) to take upstream issues upstream and only bother openSUSE people with openSUSE specific issues. If they waste their time with work you could do as well – especially since it does not make any difference time-wise whether you use bugs.kde.org or bugzilla.novell.com – that time is missing for work you cannot do. This is open source and unless you pay for openSUSE, i.e. SLED or other products, it works differently than what you try to compare it with. The issue this thread is about is btw not an KDE issue but NetworkManager. http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Bugreport_KDE#Before_you_report_bugs Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
