network-manager-kde unamanaged using ethernet Natty

[nowardev]

Binary package hint: network-manager-kde

On the kubuntu-destktop there is plasma-wigdget-networkmanagement that works fine.

but if you want install network-manager-kde the system removes plasma-widget-networkmanagement .

so after that you can get the unmanaged icon, even if you have connected your cable and you are browsing in internet so....

the fix it's always the same you can find on bugs.kde and it's this

sudo sed -i "s/managed=false/managed=true/g" /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf && sudo restart network-manager

Why do you want to use network-manager-kde instead of the plasma widget?
It's unmaintained upstream so I'm wondering if we should just remove it.

well, i installed a core natty system then i have added the software with my hands , so i used network-manager-kde instead of the plasma widget.

if it is unmaintained i guess should be better remove it , i didn't know that , i guess internet connection is a priority on linux without that you can't get help. So yea it would be better remove it.

btw it just run perfect with that fix , i just using that right now , but i plan to use wicd-kde , i have created for that a debian package if you are interested ( i have read about your job on debian-kubuntu-package side.) by the way wicd-daemon seems to install wicd gui too, that is unfortunate stuff.

well right now i remembered why , because i have tested the hidden wifi with the network plasma widget and it didn't work , so i have tried the network-manager

in the end i have installed wicd-kde
