Hi, Mike! But these issues started before I did that. It was only because I could no longer use my network at all, for anything: then I tried running tdenetworkmanager as root, and suddenly I was able to use the internet normally again. Before that, my reliable connectivity, so to speak, had been gradually getting worse, or was just spotty, but I was still blaming it on the flooding in our building, and internet going out. Now it's more or less back, and (after a fresh reinstallation, and changing my hostname) I am running tdenetworkmanager as my ordinary user self, not with godlike superuser powers, and everything is fine. The thing is, I would like it to stay that way, and in future to avoid those problems cropping up again. Either there is something that I am doing (that I ought not to do, or which is "irregular" in some oldthinker kind of way); or, if I am not messing up myself, then something out there must be doing it -- whether within the network, or somehow accessing our network, I can't tell. I went into the config files for tdenetworkmanager, made sure that all was right there. (And I always keep a backup of my trusted working configuration, somewhere that it is safe and cannot be touched.)
