By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Uwe Brauer 2016-09-25 03:13:46 CDT 
Created attachment 2700 [details]
icon which shows the state of the tdenetworkmanager after conncection

I am running Kubuntu 14.04 and installed trinity via 

deb http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb trusty deps-r14 main-r14
deb-src http://mirror.xcer.cz/trinity-sb trusty deps-r14 main-r14

Out of a sudden when I connect to a WIFI net, the process starts, I am conncected but the icon which is displayed is not the connect icon but the following which I attach. That is annoying

Hi, that icon seems to show that your "wired" network card is not connected. 
If you are not connected to Wifi, what icon is displayed usually? Or there is no icon at all?
Comment 2 Uwe Brauer 2016-10-01 03:02:25 CDT 
Hi

when I start tdenetworkmanager only *one* icon is displayed, namely the one I mentioned. I click on that icon and select to connect to one wireless net,
then the icon transforms to the one with the spinning wheel. (I you want I could attach a screenshot of the spinning wheel icon). Then it connects, (I check that via a ping) but the icon goes back to the original one, which indicates as you said, a not connected wired connection.


Possible source of the problem. For years I only used tdenetworkmanager 
(kdenetworkmanager in earlier releases) only for wireless and (I am using Kubuntu)
systemsetting to connect to wired nets. 

I tried to change that a while ago. I tried to use tdenetworkmanager also for a wired connection. So  I configured the wired net and tried to connect, it never worked and I gave it up, I even deleted that configuration. However since this try the icon changed and I have the problem reported. 

I used apt-get purge tdenetworkmanager to solve the problem but it did not work.
Comment 3 Michele Calgaro 2016-10-01 07:20:45 CDT 
Ok, thanks for the detailed feedback.
Would it be ok if it displayed two icons: one for the connected wifi and one for the non-connected wired one?
Comment 4 Uwe Brauer 2016-10-01 07:42:05 CDT 
Well not really (see below).

What I don't understand is this. I installed the same Kubuntu+trinity version on 2 laptops. 
In the first one I never tried to use tdenetworkmanager to connect to wired and in that one everything behaves as expected. One icon to rule them all.

In the second one I tried to configure tdenetworkmanger to work with the wired net and ever since the icon behaves strangely.

I am 100 % sure that if I reinstalled from scratch everything on that laptop,
it would behave like the first laptop.

so the question is how can I avoid re installation.

Curious note, I installed wicd, and since its installation I see 2 icons, the one from tdenetworkmanager and the one from wicd. Now strangely enough using wicd directly I cannot connect, but if I use tdenetworkmanager I can connect. 
tdenetworkmanager does not indicate the successful connection 
but wicd indicates that I am connected. 

this is absurd.
Comment 5 Michele Calgaro 2016-10-01 08:34:04 CDT 
ok, understood. Probably some left-over configuration file or option somewhere.
I have added the bug to R14.0.5 bug list.
Comment 6 Uwe Brauer 2016-10-06 10:59:58 CDT 
[SOLVED]

I closed tdenetworkmanager

I removed the directory:
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections

restarted the system

I started tdenetworkmanager. I had to re-configure all my wireless nets, but now 
the icon works.

regards

If I understand it correctly, can we close this bug report with the statement that it is not our problem?
