https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=478524 Summary: During Network Configuration Phase Of Manual Installation if Network Manager is Selected - The KDE3 Network Manager is Installed Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: alpha096@virginbroadband.com.au QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009012700 SUSE/3.0.6-0.1 Firefox/3.0.6 During a Manual Installation of either 11.0 or 11.1 the Network Configuration offers a choice of using default or Network Manager - I have always used Network Manager now and in the past. The Major problem with this choice is that KDE3 Knetwork Manager Applet is installed to manage all Network Devices. It was not until recently that I began to think that there was a New KDE4 Version of Network Manager as in 11.1 Yast no longer controls the Network Manager. The KDE3 Knetwork Manager Applet appears to do well - sort of but I assume there is a Network Manager KDE4 that should be installed by default if the Installation Configuration changes to Network Manager to Manage all Network Devices. I have tried to search for a KDE4 Network Manager in bothy 11.0 and 11.1 but cannot identify what should have been installed as a default result in changing the Installation to use Network Manager. I would believe a great many people in 11.1 have serious frustrations about this issue. This has either direct or partial implication to the following bugs in 11.0 and a complete nightmare in 11.1 to many other 11.1 bugs I cannot easily locate. Bug 423881 Bug 475384 Bug 478110 Bug 475384 Bug 395528 Bug 474115 Bug 476951 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start normal Non-automated Installation 2. At Network Configuration change to Network Manager and save and continue. 3. At completion of KDE4 Installation KDE3 Knetwork Manager Applet is installed by default. This same issue is about 500% worses in an 11.1 Installation where KDE3 Knetwork Manager Applet is installed by default. Actual Results: Its very difficult to manage a KDE4 Network via a KDE3 Knetwork Manager Applet. It is even more desperately difficult in an 11.1 Installation Expected Results: A Network KDE4 Knetwork Manager Applet is installed with information from Bug Bug 423881 In an 11.1 Installation put back the functions of controlling the Network into YAST - The choice of IFUP OR Network Manager are totally mute to user functions. I am just so sorry I did not realist that KDE3 Network Manager Applet was installed by default in either KDE 4.0 or 4.1 - Opensuse 11.0-11.1 It was only starkly evident in a 11.1 Installation where Network Manager has been chosen that the world falls apart at the seams. Only request logs IF you cannot reproduce this issue in either 11.0 or 11.1 or you need further clarification - this is just wasting both of our time. -- 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.
