- How can you be sure that NetworkManager does not start, if the whole desktop is blocked? Well, I have gnome-do and keyboard shortcuts which allow me to move around. It is only the desktop itself that is locked. I can get a terminal and run ps commands ok.
- Does starting KDE, then going to GNOME breaks the same way? Yes, in the way described in this bug. If I load one WM first and then switch, the other has no network - Do you see any error messages in ~/.xsession-errors after starting KDE the second time? (get it from the console) Yes, loads, will not post them here. "Basically, KDE should not rely on the network to work (obvious). " Absolutely, yet it does... I think it is part of the fancy new desktop the folks at KDE have created. "Again, please open a new report and post its address here. No need to spam all the people with something that's not stricly the same bug." Fair enough, I will. But I still think that what I am experiencing is connected. I have now fixed it, but when I first logged on to kde it was broken. Running nm-applet fixed it. Sounds like its another effect of the same bug to me. If it isn't sorry for the spam. I will shut up now :) -- nm-applet fail when another user is logged in (intrepid) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/284596 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
