[opensuse-support] Annoying issue with KDE panel / NetworkManager
Hello all, everything was working fine with a stock openSUSE Leap 15.0 installation. Since I went to Leap 15.1 'zypper dup' I experience issues with the KDE panel. There's one panel configured (among other things with an application launcher (the gecko icon), a task manager (i.e. a list of open windows), and a systray). After a certain time, some functions of the panel cease to work - for no apparent reason. Most notably autohide and the task manager (i.e. I can't jump to another window by just clicking on it). The application launcher or controlling a music player via its systray icon continue to work. My current workaround is: killall plasmashell ; sleep 3; plasmashell & but that leaves me with another annoying issue with Network Manager. After restarting plasmashell I cannot activate network connections that require a password. Normally a PW dialog for unlocking kwallet appears, but not after a restart. With journalctl I find this: --- snip --- Aug 28 12:37:21 box NetworkManager[28889]: <info> [1566988641.8457] device (wlan1): state change: prepare -> config (reason 'none', sys-iface-state: 'managed') Aug 28 12:37:21 box NetworkManager[28889]: <info> [1566988641.8467] device (wlan1): Activation: (wifi) access point 'WLANSSID' has security, but secrets are required. Aug 28 12:37:21 box NetworkManager[28889]: <info> [1566988641.8467] device (wlan1): state change: config -> need-auth (reason 'none', sys-iface-state: 'managed') Aug 28 12:37:21 box NetworkManager[28889]: <warn> [1566988641.8500] device (wlan1): No agents were available for this request.

Is this possibly another instance of https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1108570 ? So I guess, I'm looking for help in either preventing the panel from acting up or how to restart the panel such that NetworkManager can ask for a password. Any hints are greatly appreciated!

Here's what I did in the past: - Right click somewhere and unlock widgets - Go into the Panel Settings and remove the panel - Right click somewhere in the desktop, Add Panel > Default panel. Then see if the issue returns. -- Gertjan Lettink a.k.a.

The latter issue doesn't occur if you use kquitapp5 instead of killall: kquitapp5 plasmashell ; sleep 3; plasmashell &

I learned that it is not. Regards -- Till -- Dipl.-Inform.

true, but having to do so every hour or so is prety annoying :-( thanks anyway jdd -- http://dodin.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org

Turns out, this is not enough. Even after having restarted plasmashell correctly using kquitapp5, no PW prompt would appear. But the following command finally does seem to do the trick: kquitapp5 kded5 ; sleep 3; kded5 & HTH -- Till -- Dipl.-Inform.
