Since a couple of updates and weeks ago (F14, don't remember exactly when, sorry) the KDE wireless applet stopped doing its work. When I click on it and choose to connect to my wireless router, it asks for a passphrase (WPA), and then hangs in "waiting for authorization" state forever, without connecting. After some troubleshooting, I figured I can use the nm-applet from Gnome, after I disable a couple of services in the KDE service manager (namely, the "NetworkManager User Setting Service" and "Network Status"). If I don't disable them, nm-applet fails to run, saying another instance is already running (which is wrong, btw). I suspect one of these services are simulating the presence of nm-applet to prevent it from running concurrently. Anyway, when the services are disabled, nm-applet is running and connects to my router without any problems. The issue is that this is a workaround, and that default KDE configuration used to work flawlessly until some point. I also tried to connect to other wireless networks (open, wep, wpa...) to check if it's something related to my router, but the symptoms are the same everywhere. Is this a known issue? Am I the only one seeing it? How can I troubleshoot it? I was monitoring /var/log/messages while trying to connect, but nothing there points to the problem, AFAICT. Btw, when nm-applet is running, the KDE applet in the taskbar correctly reports the state of the wireless interface, and appears to coexist nicely with nm-applet. >From what I understand, the NetworkManager service is running correctly, nm- applet is also running correctly, but something within KDE went to lunch... Any ideas? TIA, :-) Marko _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kde New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
