I just installed KDE version of Arch (Full Install)
I need help with
(a) At boot , all the services are started,,,The daemons are loaded one by one syslog [DONE], dbus[DONE] etc and when it comes to network , there is a big pause and it says [FAIL]..After that crond is loaded [DONE] and system boots up
(b) Knetwork Manager ..The Network status Icon at the system tray (which gives notification when system connected/disconected] , near battery , sound doesnt appear ..I am forced to use command prompt for getting network up modprobe ipw200;..Wpa_supplicant etc..Also due to this , i am not able to view the available networks in wireless..I have installed ipw-2100 firmware but system does not pick it up.
(c) Initially in kdm , I tried to login as root but it failed...Then , I created a user and Chown -hR <user> /home/<user> and it boots into KDE as user ...But how do I enable all priviliges for this user..Currently , I am not able to shutdown and have to go to console as root and "poweroff"
(d) ALSA - I have installed alsa-utils; alsa-oss and unmuted the PCM and master channels... I am not getting sound on bootup or shutdown(the default KDE startup/shutdown tune)..I am yet to try MP3 as I have to install the plugins...But my hunch is it wont work at the moment...
Request ur assistance
Dear Moderator - If the question is too long , can you split it up into 2 Qns pls?

for the knetworkmanager applet, i think you have to install kdeplasma-applets-networkmanagement which will also network manager. you will have to remove network from the daemons array in your rc.conf and add networkmanager after installing.

Thanks Dipesh ,
(1), (2) and (3) solved following your recommendation.
For ALSA , I added options=snd-hda-intel model=ref for Sigmatel card in /etc/modprobe.conf.. (Not sure if it is correct though ...It is an age old fix...But newer kernels support out of the box I think...Since it was working I just left the file I created.Also the newer kernel gives error message sometimes that modprobe.conf is deprecated and all modules should be in /etc/modprobe.d or similar error message. I will have to do some reading on that.
The problems are solved..So this thread could be marked as "SOLVED"...
