Bug 258769 – knetworkconf gives "Could not parse the XML file ()" when trying to open

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description M 2009-02-12 19:09:06 UTC]

KDE version 4.2.0, when I try to open knetworkconf via system settings > network settings > network settings (again) I get a popup saying "Could not parse the XML file ()." twice (so two popups in total). When I click them away all the menus and buttons are greyed out. I got the same result on an amd64 system with kdebase-meta and some other kde packages and on an x86 machine with kde-meta installed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to system settings
2. click on network settings
3. click on network settings again

kcmshell output:

isilia@Gentoo ~ $ kcmshell4 kcm_knetworkconfmodule.desktop
--get XML:

XML -d list_ifaces:
isilia@Gentoo ~ $ kcmshell4 kcm_knetworkconfmodule
--get XML:

XML -d list_ifaces:

No change in resuls.

Apparently fixed with 4.2.1 package... but still no interfaces in ksysguard or network plasmoids...
