[opensuse] networkmanager and knetworkmanager
What is the difference between the two? When I install knetworkmanager it appears in the system tray in kde4. And it just works. But everyone else on the list refers to networkmanager, not knetworkmanager. Thanks.

Lynn, According to <http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:KDE_upgrade> for "KDE 4.5 or later it is recommended to switch from using KNetworkManager to using the Networkmanagement Plasmoid instead". Reasons aren't given, but the source seems credible :-) -- Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

KNetworkManager is one KDE client for NetworkManager. It runs as your first locally logged in user and is permitted by NetworkManager to provide configuration information in the form of connection data, activate connections and enable/disable the various types of networking hardware on the system.

Thanks Will. So how do I run NetworkNanager instead of knetworkmanager? Does it live in the systray too? 11.4.and kde Cheers, L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You misunderstand - they both depend on each other. You control NetworkManager via KNetworkManager.

If I attempt the advice from http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:KDE_upgrade about using the plasmoid, I don't exactly get the suggested request to allow removing NetworkManager-kde4. I instead get this: Problem: NetworkManager-kde4-0.9.svn1192577-8.7.i586 conflicts with plasmoid-networkmanagement provided by plasmoid-networkmanagement-0.9.svn1043876-1.1.1.i586 Solution 1: Following actions will be done: downgrade of NetworkManager-kde4-0.9.svn1192577-8.7.i586 to NetworkManager-kde4-0.9.svn1043876-1.4.1.i586 downgrade of NetworkManager-kde4-libs-0.9.svn1192577-8.7.i586 to NetworkManager-kde4-libs-0.9.svn1043876-1.4.1.i586 deinstallation of NetworkManager-kde4-libs-lang-0.9.svn1192577-8.7.noarch downgrade of NetworkManager-openvpn-kde4-0.9.svn1192577-8.7.i586 to NetworkManager-openvpn-kde4-0.9.svn1043876-1.4.1.i586 downgrade of NetworkManager-pptp-kde4-0.9.svn1192577-8.7.i586 to NetworkManager-pptp-kde4-0.9.svn1043876-1.4.1.i586 downgrade of NetworkManager-vpnc-kde4-0.9.svn1192577-8.7.i586 to NetworkManager-vpnc-kde4-0.9.svn1043876-1.4.1.i586 Solution 2: do not ask to install a solvable providing plasmoid-networkmanagement I would think downgrading is not the same as removing. So, should I perhaps remove NetworkManager first (to be sure it is gone), and then add the plasmoid?
