25.9 Troubleshooting
Connection problems can occur. Some common problems related to NetworkManager
include the front-end not starting or a missing VPN option. Methods for resolving and
preventing these problems depend on the tool used.
NetworkManager Front-End Does Not Start
The GNOME and KDE NetworkManager front-ends start automatically if the net-
work is set up for NetworkManager control. If the front-end does not start, check
if NetworkManager is enabled in YaST as described in Section 25.2, “Enabling or
Disabling NetworkManager” (page 450). Then make sure that the appropriate
package for your desktop environment is also installed. If you are using KDE 4,
the package is plasmoid-networkmanagement. For GNOME users the
package is NetworkManager-gnome.
If the desktop front-end is installed but is not running for some reason, start it
manually with Alt + F2 and nm-applet (GNOME) or by clicking the Panel Tool
Box and choosing Add Widgets. (KDE) Double-click the Network Management
entry and click the Panel Tool Box again.
NetworkManager Front-End Does Not Include the VPN Option
Support for NetworkManager, front-ends, and VPN for NetworkManager is dis-
tributed in separate packages. If your NetworkManager front-end does not include
the VPN option, check if the packages with NetworkManager support for your
VPN technology are installed. For more information, see Section 25.6, “Network-
Manager and VPN” (page 461).
No Network Connection Available
If you have congured your network connection correctly and all other components
for the network connection (router, etc.) are also up and running, it sometimes helps
to restart the network interfaces on your computer. To do so, log in to a command
line as root and run rcnetwork restart.
