Description MichaÅ Walenciak 2013-05-02 11:32:28 CEST

Description of problem:

Recently I've switched from wifi connection to ethernet.
Since that day my KMail kept thinhing that it is in offline mode and I could not switch it to online one.
Today I've discovered that my eth0 card is not managed by Network Manager (thanks to Network Manager's plasmoid which I used for Wifi networks management).
So I've launched MCC and allowed eth0 to be managed by Network Manager.
It helped and now KMail works fine.

I think this issue should be somehow solved so other users won't be confused.

I'm using latest cauldron, updated every day.

Comment 1 John Balcaen 2013-05-29 00:19:26 CEST

do you have network manager installed & not used when it's happening ?

Comment 2 MichaÅ Walenciak 2013-07-27 09:38:01 CEST

It is installed, but what do you mean by "not used" ?

Comment 3 John Balcaen 2013-07-27 14:00:44 CEST

i mean that nm does not handle the network (you're still using mageia 's script for this)

Comment 4 MichaÅ Walenciak 2013-08-04 07:58:32 CEST

I cannot be sure as I've permamently switched from wifi to wire, however nm for sure was used with wifi and then I just plugged in a wire.
So I guess nm was somehow running/used.
