Hi all, I have recently come across "NetworkManager" and it's KDE frontend (knetworkmanager). It looks very promising... but I am having one little problem with it. I have no doubt that it's gonna be really quite easy to solve, I'm just being a bit thick lately. If I run "$su -c knetworkmanager", then it fires up fine, drops itself into the KDE System Tray nicely and works a treat. If I try to run it as a normal user, it fires up fine, drops itself into the KDE System Tray and does nothing. It fails to see the network devices so it won't detect any wireless networks, etc, etc. I have tried making knetworkmanager SUID root, but when I run it I get: The KDE libraries are not designed to run with suid privileges. ERROR: Communication problem with knetworkmanager, it probably crashed. Ideally I would like knetworkmanager to start on KDE startup, but just getting it to work nicely as a normal user would be a start! Anyone got any nice suggestions? Cheers.
