KDE 2.0: kinternet Does Not Work
Support knowledgebase (thallma_kde2_kinternet)
Applies to
SuSE Linux: Version 7.0
This article refers to an older version of SuSE Linux.
Therefore some of the informations given in this article may
be outdated or the article may contain stale links.
Symptom
Up to now, you have used the KDE tool kinternet to connect to
the Internet. After having installed KDE 2.0, this tool does not longer appear
in the K menu and cannot be started from a terminal either.
Cause
The system mechanisms for calling applets in Kicker (the tray next to the clock)
have completely changed; i.e. old applets do not work under KDE 2.0 (for example
kimon).
Solution
There is already an update of kinternet available on our FTP server and on its numerous mirrors.
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_7.0/applications/.
link/kinternet.rpm
Download this update and install it with the command
rpm -Uhv kinternet.rpm
Now you can use kinternet again to connect to the Internet.
