openSUSE 11.0, KDE3.5
When I click on System>Desktop Applet>KNetworkManager, nothing happens.
knetworkmanager is definitely installed, and NetworkManager is running.
Ethernet LAN and wireless connections work fine.
What have I missed?

Try starting knetworkmanager from the CLI. Any errors reported?
I ran the following:
cd /opt/kde3/bin
./knetworkmanager
DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Could not open network socket
DCOPClient::attachInternal. Attach failed Could not open network socket
kbuildsycoca running...
NMSettings::NMSettings
kbuildsycoca running...
Reusing existing ksycoca
Nothing else happened.

- g3nrw,
is your network configured for ifup instead of network manager?
Uwe
It’s configured for NetworkManager. (I did try ifup at one point, but wlan0 would not work with ifup).
As an aside, I also have problems running wireshark. With wireshark, no interfaces are presented for selection – just an empty list. I have not had problems with wireshark with earlier versions of SuSE.
I wonder if the two problems are related?

- g3nrw,
is the dcopserver running?
ps ax|grep dcops
If not, try starting it manually and see if the error goes away.
Uwe
“Problem” solved. It wasn’t really a problem at all. I hadn’t realised that KNetworkManager had placed an icon in the system tray, and so was running already. I was expecting a dialog box to appear when I tried to start KNetworkManager.
When I clicked on the icon, everything made sense.
Will you ever forgive me? >:(
