Description Carlos Licea 2011-06-04 17:43:45 UTC

Version:           4.6 (using KDE 4.6.3) 
OS:                Linux

After selecting the wicd backend kded4 crashes with the following output:


carlos@io ~ $ kded4

I might get you a backtrace if it's needed (just that I need to rebuild everything.)

Reproducible: Always

I suspect the pre-0.9 nm bump is the cause of this. Removing kdeplasma-applets-networkmanagement and subsequently networkmanager fixed this for me.

Comment 2 Carlos Licea 2011-06-07 21:31:07 UTC

I can confirm that removing networkmanager and its plasmoid solves the crash.
What do I need to delete to reset NM so that I can reinstall it?

Comment 3 Jaka Kranjc 2011-06-07 21:42:42 UTC

The error reads like the wicd backend needs to be updated for the new nm abi. If so, you should be able to restore nm by downgrading it to a real 0.8 version.

Comment 4 Carlos Licea 2011-06-12 06:51:45 UTC

I'm afraid that makes no sense to me, how Wicd depends on NetworkManager in any way?

Comment 5 Jaka Kranjc 2011-06-12 10:21:28 UTC

not wicd itself, but the solid backend (WicdNetworkManager:: is defined there).

Comment 6 Carlos Licea 2011-06-12 19:18:39 UTC

Ok, I don't quite follow but I'll do it for now.

Comment 7 Lamarque V. Souza 2011-08-25 01:13:38 UTC

Is this still happening?
