kopete can't talk to my kwallet
by Michael Hirsch 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

I've got another question. Again, my home system works well and my laptop has trouble. Both run kde 3.5 on Ubuntu. The desktop is 64 bit and the laptop 32 bit. When kopete starts on my laptop is can't connect to kwallet. It prompts for passwords, then says that it can't save them securely. This happens every time I log in. On my desktop, kopete connects to kwallet fine. I get prompted once for the kwallet password, and never again. I don't even know where to start looking for the problem. Michael

RE: [kubuntu-kde3.5-users] knetworkmanager problem

Another vote here for giving up on knetworkmanager - it doesn't work properly in 4.2 either, or not for me anyway, so I don't think there's much change of a working backport to 3.5! I use wicd for jumping on and off wireless networks, but that is flaky too. At least it works, and if it doesn't you can see what command lines it tried to use which helps you troubleshoot. regards Zack -----Original Message----- From: B.

My workaround is using nm-applet which works like a charm... Hope that helps. Ben

knetworkmanager problem
by Stefan Endrullis 11 Mar '09

Hello KDE3.5 users, I'm very happy about the KDE3 PPA of Tim Pearson. All my KDE programs work, except the knetworkmanager. Therefore I wanted to ask you if you know a good solution for the knetworkmanager problem? My current workaround is to use knetworkmanager in combination with a shell script. First I tell knetworkmanager to connect to a specific WLAN, then I start my shell which does the same. By this procedure knetworkmanager recognizes the connection and all KDE programs are cheerful. Do you know an easier solution? Regards, Stefan

Browsing info pages from konqueror
by Michael Hirsch 10 Mar '09

I have two systems, both running kubuntu 8.10 with the KDE 3.5 packages installed and no KDE 4.2. I'm very happy with this combination. On my desktop, I can use konqueror to browze info pages. If I enter "info:grub" I'll see the grub manual. On my desktop that doesn't work. Konqueror doesn't seem to know about info:. Does anyone know what package I need to install to get this working on my laptop, too? Thanks, Michael
