kde and dsl connection

Pedroski · 04-14-2012, 12:44 AM

I run Fedora 16 with gnome 3. I have problems with crashes caused by unplugging the dsl cable. I had the brilliant idea, that the problem may be gnome related (probably not, but worth a try). I have installed kde, but have no internet connection.

What do kde users use to connect to the internet?? I mean, a gui based program would be nice, like network manager in gnome.

Networking stands loose from the DE. So, if you had connection on Gnome, you should have the same on KDE (or any other De for that matter).
The question remains: what does NOT get loaded in the KDE session that does get loaded in the Gnome session.

In KDE, try to ping google (173.194.78.94) and see if there's something comming back.
I bet you use a different set of tools/software in KDE than in Gnome, and these themselves are not yet (fully) configured...

Good luck

I downloaded networking tools and then it worked, so no worries.

A further question: in gnome I can easily switch between workspaces by pressing ctrl alt up/down.

This does not work in kde. How can I switch using the keyboard in kde??

Well, I never user the up or down, but the left and right...maybe a tip? I use Xfce, so...I dont know...sorry
