network icon

I tried to use the Network manager but could’t get it working so I disabled it and I set up my eth card and a dsl connection,it’s work perfectly but I dont get any network icon ,can someoen tell me witch tool I can use,a beautifull one.

thx in advance

You can go to YaST>Software Management and search for KNemo. Install the application and when done, look for it in the menu at System>Network>KNemo. Run the application and it will show up in the icon tray on bottom right. Right click the icon and configure to monitor your network connection, if it does not work automatically.

Thank You,

I tried but no result maybe I have to add some repository
anyway I will try to get the rpm file and istall it.

by the way does the Yum exist on opensuse 11.2 or I have to install it??

thx

Please do not start looking for RPMs in the wild before you are sure that
a) it is not in the standard repos (by using the Search of YaST > Software > Software Management).
b) it is not in any of the other repos offered for openSUSE by e.g. using Webpin (also via YaST or direct on Webpin).

You may want to read the items on ** Information for New Users ** - openSUSE Forums](http://forums.opensuse.org/information-new-users/) first before venturing any further in openSUSE.

KNemo is located in the KDE Community and in the Contrib Repositories. You can add either or both of these URL’s to YaST>Software Repositories and then search for it in YaST>Software Management.

Repository called KDE4:/Community located at:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Community/openSUSE_11.2/

Repository called Contrib located at:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/11.2:/Contrib/standard/

Give this a try and see if you can now install/run KNemo.

Thank You,

I tried the second one,and I got Knemo
thx a lot
see you around;)

Hey, happy to hear you got KNemo working. Thanks for using the openSUSE forums.

Thank You,

Yum is a RedHat (fedora) package manager. It would not work in openSuSE.

APT also was not designed Debian based linux but it works on OpenSuse

**by the way, I pleased to be here
and Thank you for the help;)

APT was designed for debian and other debian based linux and it works on opensuse.
Sorry for my english guys ,I’m doing my best:(

As all these tools are based on the Linux kernel, they will run on openSUSE also. But that does not mean you are doing things the openSUSE way when you use them. And be prepared for a real mess regarding installed software when you use all of them together.
