[Bug 351032] Re: Desktop locks up when wireless network drops

2009-12-12 Thread Tom Chiverton
You can automate the replacement of knetworkmanager by writing a file  
.kde/Autostart/nm-applet :
#!/bin/bash
sleep 10
killall /usr/bin/knetworkmanager
nm-applet &

then chmod +x it.

Can't believe this hasn't been fixed as a higher priority - simple
sliding the hardware enable/disable switch is enough to trigger it !

Yup, still happens here too, most often when resuming from hibernate.

Things that seem to help (or at least mean doesn't need a reboot to fix).
Don't use knetworkmanager use 'nm-applet' (killall knetworkmanager;nm-applet &) 
- only needed once at login
Restart network manager and/or networking (/etc/init.d/networking restart ; 
/etc/init.d/netwrok-manager restart) - this some times makes nm-applet re-ask 
for the wireless network password (even though it's a system connection and 
normally works fine) but just close the window.

[Bug 351032] Re: Desktop locks up when wireless network drops

2009-11-17 Thread Neil Smith
Dual boot Vista/Kubuntu 9.10 HP 6715b laptop.

The wireless under Kubuntu frequently drop outs when copying large files
across the network. The desktop becomes unresponsive and the system
needs to be rebooted.

It's so unreliable that the system is unusable using wireless on
Kubuntu. Previous OpenSuse 11.1 (Gnome) installation didn't suffer as
much, although drop outs were more frequent than with Vista. However, it
managed to reconnect and didn't lose responsiveness.

After a while, it offers the login box to the wireless network, but
won't reconnect, even with the correct parameters.
