Re: Deleted KNetwork Manager...

Maybe someone can help with more details.

I believe there is a way to set the instalation cd as your repository source and you may be able to Aptget the Knetwork manager, or maybe even use Synaptic. No doubt you can't use the Internet as a source.

Can anyone else help here?

Re: Deleted KNetwork Manager...

1. open kate as root

Code:

kdesudo kate

2. open /etc/apt/sources.list in kate

3. uncomment the first line starting

# deb cdrom:[Kubuntu 8.10 _Intrepid Ibex_

By uncomment I mean deleting the hash (#)

4. save your file, close kate and insert your kubuntu cd

5. on the command line, do a

Code:

sudo apt-get update

You'll probably get a load of errors, do not worry about them

6. type

Code:

sudo apt-get install knetworkmanager

Please get back in case of any problems. If it worked for please mark this thread as solved (see signature).

Good luck

Re: Deleted KNetwork Manager...

(Cool, I never thought of using the installation cd as a respository source

)

Anyway, I followed all of toad's steps exactly, and everything went smoothly (I even got the errors he told me about after doing sudo apt-get update).

But when I did sudo apt-get install knetworkmanager it said that the package knetwork manager is not available, but is referred to by another package, etc.

And it told me to try network-manager-kde instead. So I did, but I got the same following messages:

Package network-manager-kde is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source.

E: Package network-manager-kde has no installation candidate

Any ideas? ... Again, thanks for the help you are giving me.

Re: Deleted KNetwork Manager...

You can establish a network connection merely by entering the needed information in your /etc/network/interfaces file. In fact, I don't even use a network manager. No need for one if you only wish to establish a simple wired connection. This is my file.

Code:

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0

# The primary network interface

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1

Then at a command prompt

Code:

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

Re: Deleted KNetwork Manager...

also, if that doesn't work, try using

Code:

sudo apt-get install network-manager

with the CD in the drive...that might work to install knetworkmanager.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Go to software sources in Adept and tick the cdrom: box in Third Party Software, then reinstall knetworkmanager

Re: Deleted KNetwork Manager...

I must say I'm surprised that it didn't work :P Sorry about that.

My interest in the solution, however, has risen proportionally to the failure you had to endure, so I'll be watching this thread closely

**Daisuke** · Nov 11, 2008, 04:53 PM

Re: Deleted KNetwork Manager...

Yeah... it's a pickle indeed.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I will keep trying and post anything new. Again, I appreciate any help given (I try everything suggested).

Post your /etc/apt/sources.list for review.

Re: Deleted KNetwork Manager...

The first entry needs to be uncommented (remove the # and leading space). The file has to be edited as root. This is what the first line needs to look like:

deb cdrom:[Kubuntu 8.10 _Intrepid Ibex_ - Release i386(20081029.1)] intrepid main restricted

Save and close. Open a console and type:

Code:

sudo apt-get update

**Daisuke** · Nov 11, 2008, 08:35 PM

Re: Deleted KNetwork Manager...

Ok, with the Kubuntu CD installed and recognized, I opened sources.list from room, removed the hash #, leaving only:

deb cdrom:[Kubuntu 8.10 _Intrepid Ibex_ - Release i386(20081029.1)] intrepid main restricted

Then I saved and closed the sources.list, and in console I write:

Code:

sudo apt-get update

Then I got errors, but either way I then wrote:

Code:

sudo apt-get install knetworkmanager

but I got:

Code:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package knetworkmanager is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
   network-manager-kde
E: Package knetwork manager has no installation candidate

So I tried network-manager-kde but also got a similar message:

Code:

sudo apt-get install network-manager-kde
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package network-manager-kde is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package network-manager-kde has no installation candidate

-sigh- Hehe.

**muzicman0** · Nov 11, 2008, 08:38 PM

Re: Deleted KNetwork Manager...

did you try just 'network-manager' (without the '-kde')?

**Daisuke** · Nov 11, 2008, 08:44 PM

Re: Deleted KNetwork Manager...

Yes, a good amount of variations. Can't wait until this issue is solved...
