[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#721595: KDE network manager does not work
Package: plasma-widget-networkmanagement Version: 0.9.0.3-1 Severity: important Hello, i am trying desperated to get WLAN working without problems on wheezy. One time i get a connection, then never again. I installed the network manager to have a comfortable configuration, but it seems not to have the correct rights to work. The scanning for hotspots does not work and when i manually create a WLAN connection and try to save it, it fails with insufficient privileges (see screenshot). As you can see here i have access to WLAN functionality on the shell: root@pc# iwlist wlan2 scan wlan2 Scan completed : Cell 01 - Address: 00:1E:58:BB:80:CD Channel:1 Frequency:2.412 GHz (Channel 1) Quality=68/70 Signal level=-42 dBm Encryption key:on ESSID:dd-wrt Bit Rates:1 Mb/s; 2 Mb/s; 5.5 Mb/s; 11 Mb/s; 6 Mb/s 9 Mb/s; 12 Mb/s; 18 Mb/s Bit Rates:24 Mb/s; 36 Mb/s; 48 Mb/s; 54 Mb/s Mode:Master Extra:tsf= Extra: Last beacon: 32ms ago IE: Unknown: 000664642D777274 IE: Unknown: 010882848B960C121824 IE: Unknown: 030101 IE: Unknown: 05040001 IE: Unknown: 2A0104 IE: Unknown: 32043048606C IE: IEEE 802.11i/WPA2 Version 1 Group Cipher : TKIP Pairwise Ciphers (1) : TKIP Authentication Suites (1) : PSK IE: Unknown: DD0900037F01010020FF7F But automatically it is not configured correct with the WPA key: root@pc# iwconfig wlan2 IEEE 802.11abg ESSID:dd-wrt Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: 00:1E:58:BB:80:CD Tx-Power=200 dBm Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off Encryption key:off Power Management:off This is my current network configuration file: root@pc:/etc/network# cat interfaces ... allow-hotplug eth6 iface eth6 inet static ... auto wlan2 iface wlan2 inet dhcp wpa-ssid dd-wrt wpa-psk mysecretpassword Why the network manager has not enough privileges? Any other idea to solve the problem?

[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#721595: package not working
Here is a forum thread with someone where it is not working also. http://debianforum.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30t=138291 The solution was to deinstall the kde networkmanager and to install wicd. root@weide:/home/hugo# apt-get purge network-manager root@weide:/home/hugo# rm -r /etc/NetworkManager/ root@weide:/home/hugo# apt-get install wicd wicd-gtk wicd-curses I think i will test it now. Is this really the only solution? Cheers Karsten ___ pkg-kde-extras mailing list pkg-kde-extras@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-kde-extras

Hi Michael, the first thing is that wicd doesn't work also. :-) So i reinstalled the network-manager-kde. Am 02.09.2013 14:10, schrieb Michael Biebl: You've configured your network interface device(s) in /etc/network/interface, that means they are managed by ifupdown. It makes no difference if i have only the lines for iface lo in the interfaces file or if the file doesn't exist. Network is not coming up and the manager is not scanning for WLAN. The same message with insufficient privileges appers by manual entry and save. There must be more wrong. If you want to manage your interface with network-manager/plasma-widget-networkmanagement, you should remove those interfaces from /etc/network/interfaces. See also /usr/share/doc/network-manager/README.Debian Hmm - this dependencies are not not clear for me and for other users. It would be fine if the right dependencies would be checked when the package is installed. It seems to be always a struggle to get WLAN running. I will not think about bluetooth ..

[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#627070: Bluetooth not usable any more in Squeeze
Sorry - i didn't notice your answer. It doesn't matter if you upgrade or have a new installation. There seems not to be a working implementation of bluetooth in KDE 4. You can access bluetooth devices in console mode. Please also refer to this bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=627071 Regards Karsten ___ pkg-kde-extras mailing list pkg-kde-extras@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-kde-extras
[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#627070: Bluetooth not usable any more in Squeeze
Package: kdebluetooth Version: 1:1.0~rc3-2 Justification: renders package unusable Severity: grave *** Please type your report below this line *** In KDE3 bluetooth connection to mobile devices was working with nearly no problems. Now in KDE4 / Squeeze it does not work any more. The are only some rudimentary functionality that works on the shell with bluetooth devices. My opinion is that's poor and not a progress for KDE. Working interfaces to other devices is basically for a desktop environment.
