Hi,
since this seems to be the time to complain about KDE, I'd like to ask for
help on an old issue: kded4 prevent the plasma weather applets from working.
When I login to my KDE session the weather applets fail to retrieve any data.
I've confirmed with Wireshark/TCPdump that there is no network traffic at that
time. As soon as I kill kded4 the weather applets startk working immedeately.
Is there are another workaround than killing kded4 (since that messes up some
other things in KDE) or, even better, a fix available?

Although I tend to get into complain mode as well I think we should try to
stay as constructive as possible. Its sometimes not easy tough, when
things don't work and did not get fixed for some time.

I just gave in to use network manager. I think there is a bug report as
well. Yes, here:

https://bugs.kde.org/232469

Ciao,

Thanks for that pointer! That's a solution - at least for me.

$> aptitude remove network-manager
-> It works

Wo needs this ******* network-manager anyway?

But honestly, how stupid can one be to rely only on the network-manager to
determine if a system is online or not? I thought everyone knew that Mozilla
bug you cited ...

Okay, well thats the other solution. I gave in and now use network-manager
on eth0 as well. I kept it installed when I am somewhere with a WLAN.

Actually I am also not that fond of it. If it insists on saying "offline",
when it just doesn't know and it knows that it doesn't know, in my eyes
its just broken.

qdbus org.kde.kded /modules/networkstatus setNetworkStatus "SolidNetwork" 4

- that tells kded to 'assume you are online, even if it to kde looks
like you aren't'

/Sune
- thanks Pino.
