[Solved] Where is Network Manager

Good day!
I have installed Q4OS 6.1 Andromeda Trinity on my old PC today.
When I tried to install Network Manager from Q4OS Software centre, I was unable to find it. Where it is? It is extremely important program for me. Without it, I am unable to configure my internet connection properly (DNS servers, IPv6), but my wireless network does not working at all without it.

Re: [Solved] Where is Network Manager

The installer has been temporarily removed from the Q4OS-6 Software center. Applet doesn't start automatically due to a bug in Trinity desktop versions greater than 14.1.1 . We are working on a fix.

In anyway you can workaround the issue safely.
- Install from repositories:
$ sudo apt install network-manager-applet
- Reboot
- Run:
$ nm-applet

Re: [Solved] Where is Network Manager

Thank you!
I was afraid, that the Network Manager was completely removed from Q4OS.
Autostart issue is not a problem for me, since I use the Network manager applet for configuring my network connections, especially wireless networks.
Good luck with fixing this issue!

Re: [Solved] Where is Network Manager

Is this issue fixed? I had to install the applet manually for now.

Now that network-manager is also auto-starting, how do I remove tdenetworkmanager from auto-starting? tdenetworkmanager is not listed in the autostart applet or service manager applet.

Thanks.

Not yet.

Now that network-manager is also auto-starting, how do I remove tdenetworkmanager from auto-starting?

Remove it:
$ sudo apt autoremove network-manager-tde
or disable it in:
"/opt/trinity/share/autostart/tdenetworkmanager.desktop"

Re: [Solved] Where is Network Manager

It's also possible to use more lightweight Qt based "nm-tray" applet instead of network-manager-applet, just install it:
$ sudo apt install nm-tray
