Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.2) Installed from: RedHat RPMs OS: Linux When I start kde being connected to the internet, my ppp0 status applet displays properly the input and output packets chart. If I disconnect, the "disconnected" symbol appears in the applet. But then, If I reconnect, the symbol does not disappear as it should, and the applet does not display the input and output packets chart any more. I was able to circumvent it by adding a sensor for a network connection that *is* always on (eth0). So now my applet has a sensor for ppp0 and eth0. After doing this, the ksysguard applet seems to properly "catch" all network enablement/disablement events including ppp0. Note: this was bug 57265 but the original reporter was unwilling to reopen it

Definitely an issue for me on 3.4.0. Everytime I reconnect I have to remove the ksysguard and then add it again for it to work. Also, if I disconnect from the net while downloading stuff, the ksysguard display is frozen at the state at the time of disconnection. So you can look at the applet and think that you are currently downloading stuff when you have been offline for hours.
Created attachment 18454 [details] fix for Linux Yesterday, I got annoyed by this more than 4-year old bug for the last time! So, I bit the bullet and fixed it. Patch is against KDE 3.5.5 - it's a fairly simple fix, so should be easy for you to review quickly and finally put this issue to rest. Notes: * I took the liberty of removing the print_error("RECONFIGURE") call from Linux/netdev.c, and instead I have set the ReconfigureFlag so that Command.c can detect this condition and call print_error() from the proper place in its event loop. * Problem is fixed for Linux only. From what I could see Solaris, Irix and Tru64 might have this problem too, since they also don't register the checkNetDev() callback in modules.h. As I don't have access to these platforms, I could neither verify nor try fixing it for them.
I'm not using PPP anymore. Does somebody know if Ivan's patch has been applied?
I'm not using PPP either. Is this issue still present in current version of ksysguard?
