command line install for kde networkmanager

[buzzmandt]

After installing kubuntu with apt-get install kubuntu-desktop the knetworkmanager and plasma manager would not connect for me, on anything, open wifi, or wired. so i tried wicd, installing wicd removes knetworkmanager, plasma manager and gnomes network manager. I really didn't care for wicd so I reinstalled gnomes network manager and have been using nm-applet in kde.

2 questions:
What is the command line to reinstall knetworkmanager and the plasma manager as it should be. I want to see if it's working now and really would like to set kde back to using kde apps and tools. If it still doesn't work for me I can easily reactivate nm-applet.

Does anyone know how the progress is going on knm and knm plasma applet? last I saw, when I tried wicd then went to nm-applet, the plasma applet even recommended using something else as it was in heavy development.

Hi,

if you've got a wired connection you could do this.

apt-get remove wicd kubuntu-desktop
apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

There are other ways, but this way it will install all the recommended packages from this metapackage

Re: command line install for kde networkmanager

Hi again.

you should first uninstall kubuntu-desktop.

Maybe

apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-desktop

would do the trick but I'm not sure so you better do

apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop wicd && apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

please copy that to a konsole or another X terminal emulator of your choice.


As you install kubuntu-desktop knetworkmanager will be installed.
