Description Banane Bieger 2008-08-07 22:38:39 UTC

Knetworkmanager does no autoconnection to my wired internet router.
The start automatically checkbox is set. But after every reboot i have to start the  connection manually.

Comment 1 Helmut Schaa 2008-08-08 18:22:18 UTC

Could you please attach /var/log/NetworkManager after bootup? And once again after you activated the connection manually?

Ok, it seems like you have configured a connection in Yast which gets automatically enabled during boot. Hence the user connection does not get 
activated automatically (AFAIK system connections have a higher priority then user connections).

Could you please try if removing the configuration for the ethernet device from Yast allows KNetworkManager to autoconnect after login?

Comment 5 Helmut Schaa 2008-08-18 08:06:03 UTC

Closing as INVALID. If the solution mentioned in comment #4 does not work for you please reopen.

I'm not shure what you exactly mean whith remove the configuration for the ethernet device.
But I deleted the network adapter in yast, so that it says: Not configured

No change. Networkmanager is still not autoconnecting

Hi,

I had the same problem, but I solved it doing the next (maybe the given names are not the same, I don't have my system in English):

 - Go to YaST center->Network devices->Network configuration
 - Select your device and "Edit".
 - From "General", option "Activate device", select "Manually".
 - Save configuration.
 - Now check the networkmanager connection has "autoconnect" activated.

Next time you login in KDE, networkmanager will autoconnect, at least, to me.

I propose to bugs mantainer change a little this system, it can be some confused. I don't know how, if in knetworkmanager or yast.

Thanks.

See you.

KNetworkManager for KDE3 is not maintained any longer. Therefore I resolve all bugs that are still open as WONTFIX without looking at each single bug report.
If this bug deals already with KDE4 and is still in progress, then please apologize the mistake and feel free to reopen it.
