https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=474965 Summary: KDE4 Network Manager Not Working on Non-root accounts Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE4 Workspace AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: jimomura@pathcom.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009012700 SUSE/3.0.6-0.1 Firefox/3.0.6 As of today's updates I can use the Network Manager (which is apparently KDE3 knetworkmanager) for WiFi in the "root" account to connect to my router. However, if I use a non-root account, nothing happens when I click on the icon. I do not know whether Ethernet is working. I will eventually get around to testing that as well. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot the computer 2. Login as "root" or as "non-root" 3. Click on Network Manager in Panel (or elsewhere). Actual Results: If "non-root", then nothing happens. If "root" then select router, "connect and save", and it works. Expected Results: Either Network Manager is not supposed to work for "non-root" accounts, (in which case I should get a message window telling me so), or I should be able to connect. Acer Aspire One. Note regarding severity: This is debatable. In my case, I consider being limited to using the "root" account for Internet to be a severe problem if the work I do on the computer is sensitive (ie. if security is an issue). However, in this case, I am not using this computer for critical/secure communication. I can literally put this computer aside and use another if I need security. For other people, it can be very important. . . . -- 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.
