KDE plasma-nm not working correctly

Hi,

I'm new to Arch and I've managed to get just about everything set-up, except for the plasma-nm widget being able to access wifi SSID names!

My plasma-nm widget is currently showing a red-x, and it's not showing any wifi or wired networks.

I'm able to get wifi network connectivity on my laptop and I'm using wpa_supplicant, alongside systemd-networkd, and systemd-resolved without an issue, but it seems like KDE isn't able to "see" any wifi/wired network connections.

I'm not seeing much in journalctl, except for this - which may, or may not be a red-herring:

Any thoughts/ideas would be gratefully received, many thanks in advance! smile

Re: KDE plasma-nm not working correctly

Welcome to the forums Jamithy2 smile

As the name suggests, plasma-nm is a frontend for NetworkManager.
If you wish to use it then you'll need to use NetworkManager instead of systemd-networkd to manage your networking.


No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan
