I'm encountering this bug too, on a fresh install of 7.10 for x86_64 on a Dell Inspiron 1505 that came preinstalled with Ubuntu 7.04. After the install, /etc/network/interfaces only had lo in it (despite my system having a "b44" eth0 and an "ipw3945" eth1). This meant that knetworkmanager said I had no interfaces, but I could iwconfig, ifconfig, and dhcp from the command line.
This left me in the weird position of having networking work just fine, but nothing in KDE would acknowledge it. I've been fighting this for over a day now. I installed firefox to post this bug report (which works fine, but Konqueror insists I have no net, regardless of reality). I went into the network settings gui and disabled/enabled both interfaces (_that_ could find them just fine), but that made no difference to knetworkmanager. I just exited knetworkmanager but the dcop thing mentioned above still says: dcop kded networkstatus status landley.net 6 I can ssh to that server from the command line just fine, but Konqueror still says it can't connect to any host I've tried. Yet I'm typing this on firefox just fine. (I already had kmail set up to shell out to a program that does an ssh tunnel, and Konversation is ignoring Knetworkmanager's delusions.) I guess after all these years, I'm finally a firefox user. The switch has been forced upon me. I haven't changed the file associations so that clicking on links in Kmail bring up firefox yet, but if I can't fix this soonish... -- knetworkmanager stops kde applications from accessing the network https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/86680 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
