Knetworkmanager and systemwide network settings.

[McNash]

How do I enable my networkmanager user settings as systemwide settings? When knetworkmanager drop the connection when I log out umounting networks drives gets borked when the computer shuts down.


I know how to do my settings manually but I would like (k)networkmanager to handle it, both per user and systemwide.

Re: Knetworkmanager and systemwide network settings.

knetworkmanager can't handle it there is other gui software like knm that will help you browse arround and find

If knetworkmanager cant handle it, then my problem is hardly solved?

I must have missed the post in this forum that explain how to get networkmanager to set systemwide settings, perhaps You could be helpfull enough as to post a link to one of the posts I apparently missed?

Hi McNash,

I think what the previous poster tried to say is that there are others who experience the same problems as you and that they have changed from using knetworkmanager to something like wicd. Admittedly, he didn't put it like that

The point made is valid enough though. knetworkmanager has been the bane of many a person's life (I have never had a problem with it myself) for some time now and wicd is supposed to be the great new thing on the horizon...

Why don't you look into it and let us know how you get on?

Dead on Toad! Thanks so much for the pointer, I had the same issue as the OP and I solved it by installing wicd. Documented here:

Ha!

Check this out - but I suppose you didn't need it

I'm still on knetworkmanager - didn't like wicd at all :P

Re: Knetworkmanager and systemwide network settings.

Well, I can't say wicd is better _in_general_, but for me, with just one ethernet card in a desktop using dhcp to talk to a router after bootup, wicd knows how to connect the computer while booting up (not just a user after login). I also tried the gnome frontend applet to networkManager, and same thing. I think I should report this as a bug, because it looks like the *buntu family commited to networkManager, and this is a big limitation (and clearly a regression)

Cheers!
