[opensuse-factory] plasma-nm instead of NetworkManager-kde4?
Hi, I did a fresh install of 13.1 RC1 from http://software.opensuse.org/developer/en, using the DVD ISO. I've performed a zypper dup, which seemed to promptly replace NetworkManager-kde4 with plasma-nm. Is this intended? If it is, I assume there were some pretty good reasons, as I've already found two bugs: - https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=845909 (VPN connection can not be started from plasma-nm-openconnect) - https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=845783 (NetworkManager fails to save connection details for WAN connection with TLS) Robert -- http://robert.muntea.nu/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Hum, that is bug. The plasma-nm should replace networkmanagement only on 13.2(Factory). Please fill in another bug in the bugzilla for kde team about this as it was probably just overlook that I merged the commit inteded for Factory to 13.1 (and add me to CC). :) You can still install back the NetworkManager-kde4 hopefully to get back at least a bit working system in meantime... Cheers Tom

I filed https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=845986 ( plasma-nm incorrectly present in 13.1 post RC1 )

Yup, did that. I just wanted to see if the change was intentional or not. Thanks! Robert

This was by accident. We wanted to make sure that for those people that would install plasma-nm the old NetworkManager-kde4 would be removed. Unfortunately, as that plasma-nm has a higher version, the change also happens during upgrade. I have just submitted a new plasma-nm package that would resolve this. You should keep in mind that plasma-nm is the successor of NetworkManager-kde4 and that in Factory (and therefore 13.2) NetworkManager-kde4 will no longer exist.

I checked the bug report and it seems that you are missing the component NetworkManager-openconnect. Could you please install that one and see if it works ?

If you revert back to NetworkManager-kde4, can you check if it works ? Thanks Regards Raymond -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Hi Raymond, Good to know, thanks.

Yes, also confirmed in the bug that after installing the mentioned package it works.

No, that's a known bug I guess :| . I tried to point out that even with the new version it does not work, see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=299863 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=824285 ( applies to both Gnome and KDE ) Robert
Thanks

Raymond

Ah, I wondered that too.. while the basic functionality is mostly working, the UI is kinda flaky at times, has dialogs that do not fit the applet..etc..I understand it is under development ;) -- "If debugging is the process of removing bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in." - Edsger Dijkstra -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

You might want to check out the newer version that I submitted. This one has a better UI and the dialogs fit the applet, etc. It has come a long way and sees very active development.

Thanks for this thread. I also got plasma-nm with a "zypper dup" from 12.3 to 13.1-RC1. As I only use simple connections to my LAN, the applet worked; however, the available information was very limited. My system usually runs with several wireless devices installed (4 at the moment), I need some way to identify the device that I wish to test. NetworkManager-KDE4, also known as plasmoid-networkmanager, identifies the device by driver name. With plasma-nm, I was able to get only the wlanX info, which is not as convenient. From the video I just watched about plasma-nm, it seems that the developers have advanced a lot from the version that was installed by accident. By 13.2, it should have what I want.
