Description Angel 2010-06-18 17:29:15 UTC
Version:           0.9 (using KDE 4.4.3) 
OS:                Linux


In Fedora 13, under KDE, after adding new dsl connection in KNetworkManager,
when I click KNetworkManager applet from the panel, it does not show any dsl
connection. Just one connection ¨System eth0¨. Can´t connect. And no internet access as well.

Here is the screenshots, how I tried connecting:

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Set up a new DSL Connection using KNetworkManager, use any random username and
password if you don´t use DSL, and you will see, it doesn´t show any DSL
connection when you will click the KNetworkManager applet. Even if you don´t
use DSL, but when you will create the connection, it should appear in the
connection list, right? 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right or Left click on the KNetworkManager applet > Manage Connections > DSL
> ADD > Type Username and Password, check Connect automatically > Ok > Ok.
2. Now right or left click on the KNetworkManager, there has no DSL connection
except the default System eth0.

Actual Results:  
No DSL connection to connect. And can´t connect to internet as well.

Expected Results:  
As I have entered all of the information, including the username and password
of my network, it
should show the connection in the connection list, and by clicking the DSL
connection it should connect. just like it does when I use nm applet in Gnome.

I don´t have any problem to connect the DSL connection using nm applet in
Gnome, Fedora 13.

I tried Fedora 13 Beta, same problem occurred. And in Fedora 11 and 12, even nm
was default network manager for KDE, but still I tried testing KNetworkManager,
and same problem I faced. I visited Fedora Forum and also #fedora channel in
Freenode, could not help anyone. I can use nm applet in KDE, but this can´t be a
permanent solution.

There has a similar bug post here https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=228464 four months older, the OS was Ubuntu 9.10 and nobody pays attention to that bug. The guy he didn´t even get any reply. Why do you guys ignoring this problem?
Comment 1 shahriar 2010-06-18 19:27:52 UTC
I also had similar problem in Kubuntu 9.10 its sad that the bug is not fixed yet...In Kubuntu 10.04 I overlooked knetwork manager altogether and used shell to connect.

Hope it will be fixed soon and lives of the thousands will be lot easier

I confirm that the bug persists, when I'm using kde 4.5 RC2, with kubuntu 10.04 installed from the ppa repository, and using the plasma-aplet of knetworkmanager, and through him I can not I connect using pppoe.
Comment 3 Angel 2010-11-09 17:07:39 UTC
Fedora 14 KDE also has same bug! And so is Ubuntu 10.10 KDE!
Comment 4 Faur Ioan-Aurel 2010-11-17 10:32:04 UTC
The same here.Kubuntu 10.10 with kde 4.5.3!Someone please consider this bug as a higher priority!For almost a year the same bug and nothing changed!

There are lots of peoples who have this bug,but they don't come to kde bugs to report it.Just give a look on some ubuntu,fedora,suse forums and you will see what i am talking!

Based on the "me too's", let's consider it confirmed.
