[opensuse] KNetworkManager not starting up in 11.1
I recently upgraded to OpenSuse 11.1. I set up YaST to say that network is controlled by network manager. I am using KDE3. Every time I log into KDE, knetworkmanager is not running. I can start it up from the command line, and it comes up and runs normally, connecting automatically to my network. I tried to configure the KDE to start from a saved session, and saved a session while knetworkmanager was running. But once I re-started my machine, when I logged in, knetworkmanager didn't start up again. Is there something else which controls when it starts up, which could be causing this problem?

/opt/kde3/env/knetworkmanager.default.sh is sourced by startkde (on every startup) to disable knetworkmanager from starting if NetworkManager itself is not enabled. If it detects that your system is not using Networkmanager, it writes [General] Autostart=false into your $HOME/.kde/share/config/knetworkmanagerrc file. Perhaps something is going wrong there? Can you check the contents of knetworkmanagerrc before and after logging out?

Thanks, that was exactly the problem - for autostart was set to "no" in knetworkmanagerrc. I changed it to "yes", and it is now working as expected. Myrosia On Fri, Oct 2, 2009 at 11:09 AM, Will Stephenson <wstephenson@suse.de> wrote:

[General] Autostart=false
into your $HOME/.kde/share/config/knetworkmanagerrc file.
