KDE 4.5: Networking icon missing from tray [SOLVED]

Hi,

There's no Networking Interface icon in my notebook's tray after the KDE 4.5 upgrade. Starting KNetworkManager from the main menu doesn't make any difference. How am I supposed to get it back?

Re: KDE 4.5: Networking icon missing from tray [SOLVED]

Have you installed "kdeplasma-applets-networkmanagement" and added the widget to the system tray?

If it still doesn't appear, perhaps delete all of you KDE config (~/.kde4) and start with fresh configs.

Maybe...

Right click on system tray -> system tray settings -> display -> network management.

Re: KDE 4.5: Networking icon missing from tray [SOLVED]

the main part:  I removed several times my .kde4  with re installing "kdeplasma-applets-networkmanagement"   but it doesn't work.  When I try to activate it in system tray and press OK, nothing is changing, the knetwormanger button looks like not activated.

when I run  knetworkmanager in a terminal, I have this message:  "Another NetworkManager client is already running.  Use KNetworkManager in future? "     I say "yes"  but nothing change

Re: KDE 4.5: Networking icon missing from tray [SOLVED]

solved by installing knetworkmanager-svn   instead of kdeplasma-applets-networkmanagement

Re: KDE 4.5: Networking icon missing from tray [SOLVED]

knetworkmanager-svn is the KNetworkmanager of KDE4

i really dont know what kdeplasma-applets-networkmanagement and aur/knetworkmanager are and what they do but it seems like they have doesnt use at all...
