[opensuse-gnome] Starting NetworkManager from Gnome main menu?
According to the openSUSE manual (Start-Up) you could start the "Network Connections" dialog from the Gnome main menu, if you click on the "Network:" entry in the right pane while NM is running. Now (tested on M7) the Yast network configuration is called. Is this intended bahavior? If yes, I'd like to change the manual. -- Karl Eichwalder R&D / Documentation SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

main-menu will only fall back to the YaST network config if it cannot determine that NM is managing the active network connection(s). Does the tile show an active connection ie "Network: Wired" or "Network: Wireless" or "Network: GSM", ... or does it show "Network: None" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

It shows "Network: Wired", which is correct. I installed from the net (with NIS for user authentification) and ended up with the traditional method (ifconfig) as expected. Then I switched to NM using the yast config dialog. A pop-up in the bottom right notification area confirmed that NM took over successfully. This happened on standard desktop computer without WLAN hardware. Next week I can hopefully test it on a laptop. Thanks for your help, Karl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

Results are the same on a laptop with WLAN hardware. -- Karl Eichwalder R&D / Documentation SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org

I entered it into bugzilla (bug 608912)--thus we do not forget about it. -- Karl Eichwalder R&D / Documentation SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+help@opensuse.org
