Resetting your KNetworkManager settings
February 12, 2008
So I was having troubles with my Kubuntu wireless, messing around with KNetworkManager and learning through the tried and true method of shooting myself in the foot. note: there are only two feet to get shot it, so learning comes quickly.
Eventually I came across the need to revert my setting to the original setting which had came with my application when I had first downloaded it. Here is what I did:
cd /home/user/.kde/share/config
I removed a file called: knetworkmanagerrc
Then i did the following and it ran perfect*:
sudo apt-get install knetworkmanager

*knetworkmanager was not installed at the time because I was messing around with various other network managers at the time, trying to learn how to connect using that, via CLI, etc. after re installing the knetworkmanager application, everything went smoothly.
i was also messing around with knetworkmanager, on a day that my home network was just acting up and being really slow. I went into manual configuration to see if i could tweak anything, and i ended screwing up the wireless. right now it wont even detect the wireless networks in my area and i cant get online at all so i wouldnt be able to reinstall knetworkmanager. i cant seem to find a way to get it to search for wireless networks or to add the private network thats at my house. any ideas on what i should do?
