Hello all.

I am currently running Fedora 12 with KDE. networkmanager is installed. but its with the Gnome frontend, i have tried to install the KDE frontend, Knetworkmanager, its working 50% of the time. sometimes its the KDE frontend and sometimes its the GNOME frontend. i get no error messages. its working fine. but i wouldt like to only have the KDE one. which package do i have to uninstall ? or what file do i have to edit ?

you can tell to kde that this app must open just on kde
and same to gnome. sample:
for knetworkmanager
edit /usr/share/applications/kde4/knetworkmanager.desktop
and add this line

Code:

OnlyShowIn=KDE;

same for gnome application we must edit
/usr/share/applications/application.desktop
and add line in just like

Code:

OnlyShowIn=GNOME;

Thanks, but that did not work. im getting no error message and the GNOME frontend is working as before.
can i uninstall the GNOME frontend ? or is it the default ?

seeing as fedora is VERY Gnome centric
there is some of gnome installed with kde ( there is a kde spin release ) but this has "some" gnome files on it .
http://spins.fedoraproject.org/kde/
http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora-all
http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora-options
so

NO , if you try you will have a unbootable "door stop "

if you installed the default fedora + KDE then you have the FULL Gnome AND KDE desktops

why are you using networkmanager to begin with. You can install the wicd package which most find better.

Just:

Code:

#chkconfig --level 345 NetworkManager off

and install wicd.

Or, as I do, use the command line for wireless.

edit: I believe the package you want to remove is 'NetworkManager-gnome'
