Hi,

I am using Gnome network applet instead of KDE network management plasmoid. The reason is that the plasmoid still is not able to connect with my 3G card (it recognises it, but won't connect). Until recently using the Gnome applet did not cause a problem, but with recent update it does. Setting KDE to not run the plasmoid obviously means that that a part of the KDE network management framework is running anyway. So when I start "nm-applet", it tells that an instance of network management is already running. Until recently I could solve this, by putting "nm-applet" in the autostart, so it would outrun KDEs network management and be first. With my update to the final KDE SC 4.5 this does not work so perfect anymore. In most, not all cases KDEs network management seems to be faster.

Does anybody know how to prevent KDEs network management from starting?

Please try running "qdbus org.kde.kded /kded unloadModule networkmanagement" prior to starting nm-applet.

Hi,

now I have the same problem with Kubuntu 10.10. I tried the solution suggested which worked perfectly in Lucid, but it does not work in Maverik. Seems like "qdbus org.kde.kded /kded unloadModule networkmanagement" is not valid in Maverik anymore.

Do you have a "knetworkmanager" process running?

Also, verify that "kded4" is running, and post the output of "qdbus org.kde.kded /kded loadedModules"

Hi Ben,
thanks for helping

Please run and post the output of the following:

Code: Select all

qdbus --system org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings

I suspect you don't have KDE Network Management enabled at all.

Hi Ben,

thanks for taking the time.

Service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings' does not exist.

I changed nothing during upgrade from Lucid to Maverick. There everything worked fine using the Gnome applet.

As I suspected, KDE Network Management is not running. If you cannot start the GNOME Network Manager, your installation is broken, or the GNOME client is broken.

Found the solution. It washttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/416341. The solution described there works.
