I have installed Vbox on 2 systems running Opensuse 11.3 and both have experienced knetworkmanager failure.
Knetworkmanager failed after a failed wake up from sleep mod, which also had been working perfectly until this failure. I am wondering if the vbox kernel modules could be causing this isssue.
To temporarily fix the problem I am running my network connections through yast networks setting . (which uses the traditional ifup method and everything is working)
Why not give these two commands a try using a terminal session (Menu / System / Terminal / Konsole):
sudo rm /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state
sudo /etc/init.d/network restart
Enter the root password for each to work. You may need to restart the entire session for this to help.
Thank You,
That is a beautiful solution to the problem!
This is the file before running the commands
[main]
NetworkingEnabled=false
WirelessEnabled=true
WWANEnabled=true
After running the commands everything is set to true, and knetworkmanager works again.
I have used rcnetwork restart in the past does this have the same effect as the second command? If I under the first command properly it simply removes the file so that it can be recreated.
It turns out that knetworkmanager had a bug that caused this issue and there is now a patch to fix it.
