I installed using mostly the defaults into a VM on my desktop machine and used YaST to configure the networking to use the network manager. When I select the widget the icon shows a piece of paper with a question mark, indicating that the icon is missing. The only way I can get the network manager to run is to type "plasmoidviewer org.kde.networkmanagement" I have made sure that all of the network manager components are installed since I need this for PPTP VPN functionality. Note that the VM is running on OpenSUSE 11.3 and I am using KVM. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install OpenSUSE 12.1 into a VM then install all of the updates using defaults (though I set no separate partition for /home). Use KDE 4 as the desktop. 2. In YaST configure the network adapter to use Network Manager instead of YAST 3. No network manager icon in KDE 4. Actual Results: Unable to configure the network after switching. Expected Results: I expect to be able to see the network manager icon or at least be able to install the widget. I am able to reproduce this every time. The only way I have discovered that I can bring up the Network Manager is to type plasmoidviewer org.kde.networkmanagement at the command prompt. -- 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.
