Comment 87 for bug 524454

This bug was reported in February... and almost reaching October I just summed to the 92 affected people being the 93rd.

I am using Kubuntu Lucid Lynx fully updated.

I changed both /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state and /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf as described.

After reboot, I see the changes in the files are still there (NetworkEnabled=true and [ifupdown] managed=true), and the internet connection was restablished. Cool!

BUT, a side-effect persists. It does not happen if I log as the primary user (the one with all sudo powers). It only happens if I log in as another user: the Network Manager icon says "Not available" on mouse hover, and it says "Network management disabled" on right click. No options, no nothing.

i want my Network Manager icon working again (as it already is working as I log in as the primary user)! I searched for personal settings, but ~/.kde/share/apps/networkmanagement has no files and an empty "connections" folder inside it...

Suggestions?

Thanks...
