hi there - good day.
just installed on a Notebook Endeavour with KDE - and plasma. so - at the moment i wonder where to see the network-things - in other words where is the option to
a. find and
b. choose a WLAN network!?
in the right corner at the bottom i do not find anything.,
any idea
Press Alt +    Space    to open Krunner and type “settings” and select “System Settings”.
Then, on the left side of the System Settings application you have “Network” and “Connections”, “Settings” and “Firewall”.

wll i remember that in earlier times i had used kde nm - on opensuse
and other systems - it was easy to find all the networks… - and then i could choose one …and add all the credentials
but i am willing to dive into the new KDE plasma nm. - …

Check to see if you have the network-manager-applet package installed, if it is right click on the taskbar. From here move the mouse to the bottom right where the system tray is and select configure. Go to Entries and find the entry Networks and make sure this is checked to Show When Relevant or Always Show.
This should add it to your taskbar

Open konsole and see if network-manager is running:
systemctl status systemd-networkd
This will tell you if networkManager is up and on what device. i.e. eth0/wlan0…
If it says active and wlan0 has a ip your wireless lan is up. See if Kde networkmanager is installed:
sudo pacman -Ss plasma-nm
This should already be installed as it is a prerequisite of plasma. Then just follow smokey’s direcions.

OK, in Konsole do:
systemctl enable systemd-networkd
Then immediately after:
systemctl start systemd-networkd
This should bring up your network and then the icon should show up. If not follow smokey’s directions.

i think that i have to run several commands to check what is going on here.
perhaps i have to check if all is set correct now.

OK, on the icon that looks like a PC with a cable running along the eft side, right click and there should be a submenu for wireless connections and then you should see your wlan ip name. select it and put in your credentials.
