Description Andreas Kuhl 2009-07-25 09:11:43 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.98)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Upgrading my KDE from 4.2.96 (RC3) to 4.2.98 (RC3) broke the networkmanger plasmoid: The control bar icon always shows the "disconnected" plug instead of the wireless icon when the connection is established.

The applet is still working however: Clicking the icon shows the available wireless networks and that I am connected to a AP (see attached screenshot).

I confirm that.
Using Kubuntu 9.04 KDE 4.2.98 (KDE 4.3 RC3)

I confirm that, too using Kubuntu 9.04 KDE 4.2.98 (KDE 4.3 RC3). Interesting detail: when I plug my Huawei UMTS Stick (E169) the WLAN status is shown correctly. Even though the UMTS stick does not work with the applet. Broadband connections not showing up.

Confirmed. Restarting plasma-desktop temporarily fixes the issue untill next time a connection is done.

Comment 11 tnorris 2009-08-04 01:53:42 UTC

Confirmed. I temporarily (maybe) dumped NM for WICD until the issue is fixed. The plasmoid was working fine until RC3.

I also had a strange problem coincident with the RC3 upgrade where when I establish a VPN connection it slowly kills my wireless connection. Switching to WICD seemed to resolve that as well.

Comment 12 Raphaël G. 2009-08-04 23:42:50 UTC

Still present in KDE 4.3 final in Kubuntu Jaunty.

Comment 13 G Cohen 2009-08-05 00:33:51 UTC

Also still present for me in 4.3 final in Kubuntu Jaunty. Tried to remove the network management widget and then add it again, but that didn't help.

Comment 14 Will Stephenson 2009-08-05 01:06:38 UTC

The plasmoid is replaced by a KDE 4 knetworkmanager tray applet for KDE 4.3, which does not have this problem.  I have notified Kubuntu of this so they should have it packaged by now.  Please find out from Kubuntu how they have named the package.

If your plasmoid does not just show a black and white icon with a tooltip explaining the above, you have old broken code in your package.

Comment 15 G Cohen 2009-08-05 08:38:01 UTC

Opened a bug report with launchpad for Kubuntu devs.

Comment 16 G Cohen 2009-08-05 09:50:28 UTC

Launchpad bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/knetworkmanager/+bug/409189

Comment 17 Jonathan Thomas 2009-08-05 20:51:16 UTC

Upgrading with the KDE 4.3 packages for Kubuntu 9.04 will as of an hour ago get you the new knetworkmanager applet.

Comment 18 G Cohen 2009-08-05 21:34:03 UTC

Works for me with the now on Kubuntu 9.04. 
Thanks.

Comment 19 Søren Holm 2009-08-06 08:55:17 UTC

The package is called plasma-widget-networkmanagement

Comment 20 alvinllin 2009-08-06 10:11:19 UTC

Works for me on Kubuntu 9.04.

Comment 21 Pascal Mages 2009-08-06 14:37:29 UTC

I can confirm that too. Nicely solved by the Kubuntu people. Thanks Jonathan!
