wireless network lost after change of runlevel

Hi team Leap, its been long since i last had fun due to several issues, now i was playing around with my new leap setup and i quit kde to play with konsole (runlevel 3), on return to the graphic runlevel (KDE) the network service was unavailable, i am not sure what command to specifically use to wake up the network manager so that kwallet authenticates and the network activates, i had to restart the entire system which was weird, any help please. am a newbie i must admit.

Try restarting the network service…

sudo systemctl restart network

thanks alot. it however didnt restart it

  1. Not related to your problem, but you should know that Konsole on openSUSE is enhanced with features you won’t find in a “regular terminal” like color coding and support for the Clipboard.

  2. That command should have worked, if it doesn’t then the following command should contain a system log snippet describing any error that would have been thrown

sudo systemctl status network.service

TSU

I can reproduce this problem if I switch runlevels with the init command. If I run init 3, I have to manually switch to another tty instance and if I restart the GUI with “startx” I end up back at the desktop with no functioning wifi in NetworkManager. However, if you use

sudo systemctl start multi-user.target

to drop to runlevel 3 and

sudo systemctl start graphical.target

to get back to the GUI, everything works fine. However, I second tsu2’s recommendation to just use Konsole.
