Bug ID: 366668
Summary: Plasma network manager "hijacks" the launch of apps
when connected to a WEP wifi
Product: frameworks-networkmanager-qt
Version: 5.24.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: jgrul...@redhat.com
Reporter: inf...@openaliasbox.org
CC: lamar...@kde.org, lukas.ti...@merlin.cz
If I connect to a wireless network which uses WEP encryption, I can't launch
any other desktop app, no matter if QT or GTK nor if from a desktop icon,
Krunner or Konsole.
When I try to launch them from Konsole I get:
No protocol specified
QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display :0
Abortado
I remark this happens only when connecting to WEP secured networks and only
when using the network management applet. No problem at all with WPA or wired
nor when exiting Networkmanager and connecting from a terminal vía iwconfig.
All the programs I have opened before connect to said WEP network keep
functioning well.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect to a wifi spot secured with WEB encryption
2. Try to launch any desktop program the way you want: clicking its icon, from
a terminal, opening a file that should launch the program...
3.
Actual Results:
Nothing happens, the program doesn't run, nor the files are opened.
Expected Results:
Programs should open normally.
