I have been using NetworkManager in KDE for a long time. It has been working great. Until now.
I was helping a friend so I disabled NetworkManager in yast. All went fine. I could do what I needed to do in the network to sort out his thing.
I then selected NetworkManager in yast again. I get nothing. I cannot even get the plasma widget back. Nada.
I know about KDE's rather fragile state when it comes to plasmoid widgets. I just cannot see what is confusing things. I don't even see NetworkManager as a widget I can add. Shouldn't I be able to do so if it is no longer showing up automatically?
I've googled this and see lots from a while back when this was all less stable- I don't see much recently.
Wicked works. But I don't want to use yast to control wireless. I'm rather mobile with this computer.
Pointers and suggestions welcome. It's a Tumbleweed system that is rather up-to-date.
Roger, Have you verified networkmanager service was started? (I'm sure you have, but just a thought), e.g. $ systemctl status NetworkManager If service is disabled, start it. If the preset is disabled, enable it to start on boot, e.g. # systemctl start NetworkManager # systemctl enable NetworkManager My only guess is turning it off in Yast may have disabled the systemd service and turning it back on may not have re-enabled/started it. It's not like Yast is bug-proof :) -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
