[SOLVED] Deleted KNetwork Manager...

Re: Deleted KNetwork Manager...

The initial errors are from the other entries in the sources.list file, which point to repositories 'on the 'Net' that you can't access.

The error about network-manager-kde means that there are dependencies that can't be met with what's on the CD. Hmm. sudo dpkg-query -p network-manager-kde shows the following dependent packages:

Depends: kdelibs4c2a (>= 4:3.5.9), libacl1 (>= 2.2.11-1), libart-2.0-2 (>= 2.3.18), libattr1 (>= 2.4.41-1), libaudio2, libc6 (>= 2.4), libdbus-1-3 (>= 1.0.2), libdbus-1-qt3, libfontconfig1 (>= 2.4.0), libfreetype6 (>= 2.3.5), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), libhal1 (>= 0.5.8.1), libice6 (>= 1:1.0.0), libidn11 (>= 0.5.18), libjpeg62, libnl1, libpng12-0 (>= 1.2.13-4), libqt3-mt (>= 3:3.3.8-b), libsm6, libstdc++6 (>= 4.1.1), libx11-6, libxcursor1 (>> 1.1.2), libxext6, libxft2 (>> 2.1.1), libxi6 (>= 2:1.1.3-1ubuntu1), libxinerama1, libxrandr2, libxrender1, libxt6, zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4), network-manager (>= 0.6.2)

Oh i see... so what can I do about it? (I have Kubuntu 8.04 hardy heron on my PC, can't I copy it's network manager and put it in my 8.10 intrepid ibex via pendrive or something?) Is there any other way? ...

Re: Deleted KNetwork Manager...

See reply #4. That will work.

Re: Deleted KNetwork Manager...

Okay, so if I can establish a wired connection without a network manager (as said in reply #4) ... what values do I need to put on the network interfaces file in order for it to work? :

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
address 0.0.0.0
netmask 0.0.0.0

# The primary network interface

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 0.0.0.0
netmask 0.0.0.0
gateway 0.0.0.0

What values and what things do I need to change on this file so I can establish a wired connection and finally use the internet ?

Re: Deleted KNetwork Manager...

Try this.

# 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 dhcp

And then run:

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

Re: Deleted KNetwork Manager...

I DID IT !!!!! You have no idea how glad I feel. It took.... so many days, but making a wired connection (and editing the network interfaces file), allowed me to use adept again and install Knetwork manager.

This was a really tough lesson for me, but it's finally over

Thanks to everyone for their support, and it is with a glad heart that I return to the Linux World.

Many Thanks,
Daisuke

Re: [SOLVED] Deleted KNetwork Manager...

So why did you reinstall Knetwork manager? It will just screw things up again. Once you have the interfaces file working, that's all you need.

Got it. Cool, thanks

Well, for testing purposes
