 |
|
Hello all. I have just installed the networkmanager with all the related vpn plugins. All the other things are working, but in the nm-applet dialog it is still not allowed to add any vpn connection. All the bottoms are gray. Restarting the system does not help.
The package I have installed are:
[I--] [ ~] net-misc/networkmanager-0.8 (0)
[I--] [ ~] net-misc/networkmanager-openvpn-0.8 (0)
[I--] [ ~] net-misc/networkmanager-pptp-0.8 (0)
[I--] [ ~] net-misc/networkmanager-vpnc-0.8 (0)
[I--] [ ~] gnome-extra/nm-applet-0.8 (0)
My feeling is, perhaps something needs to be done with the dbus system. |

| Sorry, solution found. You need to emerge the various plugin packages (i.e. net-misc/networkmanager-openvpn etc with the gnome use flag enabled). Then they show up in nm-applet. |

| Thank you. But I think this is not really a solution. Since I am using KDE system and would try to avoid installing gnome components. |

Then use knetworkmanager for that? |

|
|
Hello, I have emerged network manager and the plugins that I need; however, I cannot access the nm-applet GUI, how do I access it? Is it supposed to show up on my desktop? If so, it is not showing up in the notification area. Please help if you can.

Hello pleiro,
You need nm-applet (emerge nm-applet) for a graphical (Gnome/GTK) GUI. And then you need to start it (command: nm-applet). |
