[SOLVED] How do I switch the network manager from YAST back to the default network manager?

skykooler · 03-02-2010, 04:40 PM

I had trouble connecting to a wireless network with openSUSE, so I tried the YAST network manager to see if that fixed it. Not only did it not fix it, but now I cannot connect to any network, wired or wireless. I tried to open the default network manager and it said "Network management disabled". How do I re-enable it?

I also have set YAST settings back to their originals with no luck.

Exit the network manager and restart using terminal. post the errors in LQ if any reported at terminal.

that depends upon your your desktop environment.
i am using KDE , so my network manager is Knetwork manager
if it is gnome, probably gnome-network manager

checkout your tray, you will findout.

for me , i need to enter "knetworkmanager" to run from terminal.

Here is my terminal output:

Code:

skyler@linux-o4xc:~> knetworkmanager


Object::connect: No such signal QTreeWidget::itemDoubleClicked(QTreeWidgetItem*)
Object::connect:  (sender name:   'twNetworks')
skyler@linux-o4xc:~>
