Ubuntu Intrepid: Both Knetworkmanager and Network Manager load on startup

[Jeremy LaCroix]

I'm using Kubuntu Intrepid for over a month. Today, I decided to install the ubuntu-desktop metapackage so that I can see what's going on with the Ubuntu development.

When I chose GNOME as my session to use Ubuntu, both Knetworkmanager and Gnome's network manager started up. This should not be, only Gnome's Network Manager should load when using Ubuntu.

While browsing the sessions applet, I noticed that both jockey-kde and jockey-gtk were set to start up with Gnome. This also should not be.

Before Intrepid, I've been using Kubuntu+Ubuntu at the same time without this problem.

Update: Same behaviour when logging into KDE, both Knetworkmanager and Network Manager load.

[Jeremy LaCroix (jlacroix82-deactivatedaccount)]

I have all the updates as of right now, and this problem still happens. This issue also effects a laptop I just set up today.

[Martin Wilson (martinmwilson)]

I can confirm this as well. However, I got this behaviour by going in the reverse direction. ie., I started out with a Gnome ubuntu-desktop install, and later install kubuntu-desktop. This caused the programs listed in the report to show up in my Sessions applet.

[Martin Wilson (martinmwilson)]

I can reproduce this behaviour as well.

[komputes (komputes)]

I can also confirm this kind of behaviour. I started with kubuntu 8.04, installed ubuntu-desktop and gnomes worked fine in 8.04, then upgraded to 8.10 Beta (12 days from release) and I get KNetworkManager Instead of NetworkManager in my panel.

[Jeremy LaCroix (jlacroix82-deactivatedaccount)]

This is still a problem here. Knetworkmanager and gnome's network manager both start up when I log into KDE. I also have Gnome installed too. I attached a screenshot of the taskbar, where you can see both icons. Only knetworkmanger should start with KDE and only gnome's network manager should start with gnome.

[Harald Sitter (apachelogger)]

This ought to be fixed in network-manager-applet, not kubuntu-default-settings.

[Jarkko Lietolahti (jarkko-jab)]

+1,I've have both ubuntu and kubuntu installed on the same computer and in both KNetworkManager and NetworkManager are there in the taskbar.

[lugburz (lugburz)]

I confirm this. I have solved disabling the KNetworkManager in the gnome session manager.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

from what i understand knetworkmanagers starts in gnome too. The xdg file needs to be fixed as well there.

[Jorge_C (jorge.c)]

I can confirm a similar behaviour, actually like that of komputes: I started with Ubuntu 8.04.1, and later installed kubuntu-desktop. It worked fine until upgrading to 8.10: network applet disappeared from my tray and knetworkmanager appeared instead (always in a gnome session).

[Renaud Denis (renaud.denis)]

Same problem as for jorge_c...

[Jorge_C (jorge.c)]

However, in a kde4 session, both network manager and knetworkmanager load.

[Jopa (q-launchpad-devreal-net)]

yea Me2, kde4.1.2 intrepid both network managers loading. I had ubuntu added kubuntu-desktop then upgraded to 8.10

Please see the following similar bug (duplicate?) for how I fixed it on my machines:

Still the same problem, but
$ apt-cache policy knetworkmanager
knetworkmanager:
  Installed: 1:0.7svn864988-0ubuntu1.8.10.3
  Candidate: 1:0.7svn864988-0ubuntu1.8.10.3

Though I did an update and dist-upgrade just now

[Jeremy LaCroix (jlacroix82-deactivatedaccount)]

I enabled proposed but I wasn't sure what package I was looking for. Are both of the updates in Intrepid yet? If so please state what package versions I need to upgrade to. Network-manager-applet (as indicated in the header of this bug) isn't even in the repositories.

I updated all the network-manager packages in Intrepid Propoosed and as
of right now this is fixed for me. I haven't tried Gnome yet, but I'm
logged into KDE and all the behaviour is correct. I'm not having any
issues with my network either.

Yeah ... that wasnt the point. Everything whose preferred edit mode is
implemented through -edit-patch is far too complex and error prone for
_me_ to use ;) ... i rather prefer more "professional" patch systems
like quilt or VCS stuff.
