Just did. But that's giving me so much unrelated errors, about KDE games, etc. all kinds of packages I don't need.

But from these threads I get the impression that you need to download the complete playground directory, execute cmake when in the playground directory and then invoke make when in the build directory of the Networkmanager plasmoid?

Yes, exactly that works here at least. You can also have a build directory and do it there.

I'm afraid I get the same behaviour as I did when I just checked out the plasmoid directory.

When I try to build another applet (Peachdock for example) I can successfully run make and make install.

I can think of one more thing that I reported as a bug but it was closed shortly after.
Anyway, I had to install libnetworkmanager and networkmanager to be able to compile it on Arch linux even though cmake did not report any errors of missing libraries. Before I had only libnetworkmanager-0.7 installed cause I thought it was sufficient.

EDIT: I think the packages are called libnm-util1 and network-manager on debian.

I installed the dev packages and upgraded some related libraries which were for some reason still at 0.6.6. But still no dice!

I'm afraid I'll have to wait for the applet until it's offered as an official package.

I am still seeing a blank plasmoid but I think it is solid related. When I check for network devices I get this:

Code: Select all

david ~ % solid-network listdevices
solid-network(16362)/kdecore (KSycoca) KSycocaPrivate::openDatabase: Trying to open ksycoca from  "/var/tmp/kdecache-david/ksycoca4"

solid-network(16362)/Solid (NetworkManager) NMNetworkManager::networkInterfaces:

Just checked out the networkmanager directory again and now make seems to run ok now. Not sure if it will spit out errors again, but at least make is firing up properly.

EDIT
It completes successfully, but I get an empty plasmoid with two garbled icons. I'll just have to wait until it's officially integrated.

mensch,

Sorry this has not working out for you. I would not have posted it here if I had as many issues as you have had. For me the hardest thing was killing nm-applet which doesn't have a exit option that I can find. I have been using this with out a hitch.

Oh it doesn't matter. I like getting things to work and seeing as this applet is still in playground the fact that it doesn't work on all setups is not surprising.

mensch wrote:Do you reckon if it's stable enough for daily use? From what I saw on screenshots the new network manager looks very classy.

EDIT:
For some reason it won't compile on my machine. When invoking make nothing happens. The cmake configuring part completes without errors.

Same here. `cmake ..` works fine but then `make` shows nothing

As I wrote earlier in this thread, you need to execute cmake in the playground directory. I was pointed to the solution by some of the developers.

At least it compiles fine then but some of the tabs in the configuration are not accessible. Actually only the vpn-tab is which makes it pretty much useless here.
I guess there is still a dependency missing but so far I couldn't find out which one.

Sorry, bro. I missed the fact that there were more pages. Just caught that now. Thanks

Sorry if I resume this old topic, but I think my problem belong to it: feel free to move it if you prefer.
I've tried to compile the NM-plasmoid from svn following this article: http://verbalshadow.wordpress.com/2009/ ... r-in-kde4/ but I get an error during make. I have installed the NM dev package, and I think I have the solid framework installed (I have the solid-network command, for example).

This is the cmake output:

Can you help me on this? If the problem belongs to the code and not to me, can you tell me the last svn revision which compiles without errors?

Can you please verify that the files listed as not found exist on disk?
If they do not, your SVN checkout may not be consistent.

If you refer to all the .h files, they doesn't exist in the libs/dbus directory, but they're not in the svn, too: http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/ ... libs/dbus/ and the .cpp file includes them without an absolute path, so I don't know where to look for them.
I don't know which package should provide them: network-manager-dev doesn't, so where can I find them?
