I booted Friday morning and my KDE GUI told me that Knetworkmanager had died. It was gone from the system tray. Well I tried restarting it manually and was told that it was already running. But it wasn't in the system tray. My laptop's Wifi had come one and without the manager icon how could I turn it off? And anyway, it lied. I did a 'ps' and there was no knetworkmanager running. I rebooted, and there was no knetworkmanager. I started it by hand as the KDE user (not root) and it told me, again, there was one running (and there wasn't), but perhaps I might want to have it restart on the next boot. It also said knetworkmanager(6865) NMDBusSettingsService::NMDBusSettingsService: Unable to register service QDBusError("org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied", "Connection ":1.62" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings" due to security policies in the configuration file") Which it never had before. Where did that come from all of a sudden? Talk about unhelpful error messages! I chose 'yes', bit it still wasn't there on a reboot. Well Millennium Hand and Chips to that, I had better things to do. So, Saturday morning I boot the laptop again, and still nothing in the system tray and still no knetworkmanager running according to ps. According to /etc/sysconfig/network/config I have NETWORKMANAGER="yes" And the ifcfg-wlan0 also says STARTMODE='manual' so I'm not sure why it comes up. But then maybe I had an error in the setup of knetworkmanager. But with it gone, I can't tell. How can I get it back? And why do I have modem-manager running?
