This happens to me regularly, every time I have a problem in standby, shutdown, or resume.
The same bug in Debian is http://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=576279 "network-manager-kde: Tray icon non- functional, shows "Network Management disabled" message". I think this bug is the same as Bug #553994 in plasma-widget-networkmanagement (Ubuntu): “knetworkmanager doesn't connect with networkmanager”? In my case (and many others, Google "NetworkManager.state knetworkmanager") the reason the underlying NetworkManager system isn't running is probably bug #524454 ; at some point NetworkManager writes out a /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state file containing NetworkingEnabled=false and so it does nothing on reboot! Restarting knetworkmanager/NetworkManager won't help, it'll just see NetworkingEnabled=false and remain disabled. This suggests knetworkmanager may need to both re-enable and restart NetworkManager. So another workaround (besides running Gnome's Network Manager) is in a terminal enter the commands sudo rm var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state sudo restart network-manager You may have to manually kick networking back on with commands like `sudo ifconfig eth0 up` (where eth0 is your network interface) and `sudo dhclient`. ** Bug watch added: Debian Bug tracker #576279 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=576279 -- KNetworkManager can't enable networking, have to switch to GNOME to enable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576154 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
