[Bug 738535] New: The Network Manager does not show up in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=738535 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=738535#c0 Summary: The Network Manager does not show up in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE4 Workspace AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: aaronw@doofus.org QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/535.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/16.0.912.63 Safari/535.7 I am unable to get the network manager to display in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen in a fresh install of OpenSuSE 12.1. 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.

Adding the network management widget doesn't work, however. Shouldn't this be enabled by selecting the network manager in YaST? -- 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.

That worked. Adding the network management widget doesn't work, however.
So the PNM item is not checked in the list? What's the means about widget doesn't work?
Shouldn't this be enabled by selecting the network manager in YaST?
It does. _IIRC_ PNM should be shown in the tray either network control by network manager or YaST, I am not sure why PNM not shown in the tray for you. I test a fresh 12.1 install in my VM, PNM icon works fine. Might be the icon is hidden to you or... -- 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.

That was my first thought. It is now working and able to connect to the VPN. -- 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.

The problem is easily reproducible when I install. -- 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.

However openSUSE 12.1 is no longer supported and KDE4 NetworkManager changed drastically in the meantime. Therefor I close this report. Feel free to reopen if you can reproduce it with a more recent version. -- 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.
