Any other ideas?

Try running knetworkmanager from a terminal, that should give you some output as to what's happening or why it's crashing.

# knetworkmanager DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Could not open network socket DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Could not open network socket

Does that tell me anything?

No. What does 'strace knetworkmanager' output? Is NetworkManager-kde4 running? (The 'Network Management' applet) Is Gnome's nm-applet running? (NM only allows one user client) Can you see knetworkmanager with dcop? ('dcop')? Can you see knetworkmanager on the system bus? ('qdbus --system' will show org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings somewhere) Will

Will, Does this need to migrate to bugzilla? Greg On Mon, Apr 20, 2009 at 9:38 AM, Greg Freemyer wrote:

Will,

This is the same laptop you were helping me with on Friday.  ie. the multiscreen one.

I'm going from memory, but this problem could have showed up when I first enabled dual screen and xinerama (sp).

Or maybe I have some other problem that is causing both this and the failure of qdbus to see 2 screens automatically.

Other answers below.

I installed the latest online update (including one for network manager) and I rebooted.  Still no joy but a different msg on the konsole.

Will: See attached

Others: I think the mailing list will strip it, so email me directly if you want it.

Is NetworkManager-kde4 running? (The 'Network Management' applet)

Not sure how to check.  If it has its own process, it should be below.

# ps -ef | grep Net root      2956     1  0 09:23 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/NetworkManager root      2964     1  0 09:23 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/nm-system-settings --config /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf root      3644  2956  0 09:24 ?        00:00:00 /sbin/dhclient -d -sf /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dhcp-client.action -pf /var/run/dhclient-eth1.pid -lf /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient-eth1.lease -cf /var/run/nm-dhclient-eth1.conf eth1 root      4324  3962  0 09:31 pts/1    00:00:00 grep Net

Is Gnome's nm-applet running? (NM only allows one user client)

I don't use gnome, but I see a nm process in the above.

...

Can you see knetworkmanager with dcop? ('dcop')?

yes

# dcop kded knotify klauncher knetworkmanager

...

Can you see knetworkmanager on the system bus? ('qdbus --system' will show org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings somewhere)

Yes

# qdbus --system :1.0  org.freedesktop.Hal :1.1  org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit :1.12 :1.14 :1.19 :1.2 :1.22 :1.24 :1.25 :1.26 :1.27 :1.29  org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings :1.3 :1.30 :1.38 :1.39 :1.40 :1.43 :1.5  org.freedesktop.Avahi :1.6  org.freedesktop.NetworkManager :1.7  org.freedesktop.ModemManager :1.8  fi.epitest.hostap.WPASupplicant :1.9  org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSystemSettings org.freedesktop.DBus

Will, Working again now. I uninstalled both kde3 and kde4 via the patterns feature of yast. Then reinstalled the kde4 pattern and upgraded to kde 4.2.2 So whatever it was a reinstall fixed it. Greg On Mon, Apr 20, 2009 at 9:38 AM, Greg Freemyer wrote:
