i dialup with my analog modem connection!!! configured with yast i found a provisional solution. after dialing my provider i call /opt/kde3/bin/dcop kded networkstatus setNetworkStatus NMNetwork 1 manual and all works fine. Will be fixed in openSUSE 10.3. *** Bug 144816 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I had the same problem on Kubuntu 7.04, although I use a wired network, not a dialup connection. I think the problem was that I set up the connection manually using the kcm_knetworkconfmodule control center module (no idea if SuSE uses that too). I think it was disabling KNetworkmanager's autostart which solved the problem. Same problem with Kubuntu 7.10 and a 3G ppp connection. Knetworkmanager is able to dial to the provider after following the steps provided here: http://www.marotori.com/blog/?p=23 Also, the suggested workaround from Holger works for me... *** Bug 148306 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I have a request: as kervel wrote in the Kubuntu version of this bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/knetworkmanager/+bug/86680 I also would prefer that when this is fixed it is by removing the "preventing applications from accessing the internet when knetworkmanager thinks there is no internet" functionality. I very frequently configure network connections manually (ppp, bluetooth, lan, etc.) and this is a problem which has been bugging me for ages. Kubuntu packagers: Kubuntu should use the patched networkstatus versions of kppp and kinternet if it is using the networkstatus application (kio_http, kmail, kopete, konversation) patches. These branches are in branches/~wstephens in SVN. Users: If you write your own network configuration scripts, you can extend them to register a network with kded networkstatus and set it online/offline appropriately. If you don't want to do this you should disable kded's network status daemon in kcmshell kcmkded (aka Service Manager in kcontrol). Jonathan: is there a catch-all kubuntu packagers mail alias in bugs.kde.org i should use for cases like these? *** Bug 149612 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Will: How is one supposed to add new networks from a script? The obvious dcop kded networkstatus registerNetwork foo 0 fails with: cannot handle datatype 'NetworkStatus::Properties' How can one create the proper object here? Stephan: you can't, unfortunately. You would have to write a small binary to register it. Mail me privately if you need help with this. (This is fixed in KDE 4, you have "method void org.kde.Solid.Networking.Service.registerNetwork(QString networkName, int status, QStringserviceName" there) *** Bug 161126 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 161630 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I'll try to do something about this for KDE 3. Can I close this bug since it has been fixed in KDE SC 4.x? |
