I'm attaching a patch I have sent to the knetworkmanager maintainer(Helmut Schaa). This patch was sent him in april, but I don't think he have had the time to review it yet.
Please note that this is just a small fix for the pptp plugin, it only covers the most basic part of knetworkmanager<->networkmanager-pptp interaction. It works for me. Simple instruction verified on Hardy: 1. Install package build-dependencies: apt-get install dbs automake1.9 libtool kdelibs4-dev libnm-util-dev network-manager-dev libhal-dev libdbus-qt-networkstatus-dev 2. Install network-manager-kde source: apt-get source network-manager-kde 3. Delete a completely wrong debian patch: rm knetworkmanager-0.2.2/debian/patches/kubuntu_09_pptp-service-name.patch 4. Patch the sources: cd knetworkmanager-0.2.2; cat knetworkmanager-0.2.2-pptp_naming.patch|patch -p0 5. Build the package: dpkg-buildpackage 6. Install the package: dpkg -i ../network-manager-kde_0.2.2-1ubuntu2_i386.deb ** Attachment added: "PPTP fix for knetworkmanager" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14617312/knetworkmanager-0.2.2-pptp_naming.patch -- dependency problem on Kubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123696 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
