kcm_knetworkconfmodule does not appear to be visible from
systemsettings, but can be accessed by entering "kcmshell4
kcm_knetworkconfmodule". The module loads correctly, but with no
interfaces listed, and an error message saying "Could not parse the XML
file."
Error is reproducible for Fedora 9 Kubuntu-KDE4 8.04.
Please see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449977
and
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdeadmin-kde4/+bug/229366
There is similar bug
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=117338
for KDE 3.x.
But this seems to be different because when I look to .xsession-errors on Fedora I see only
--get XML:
and nothing after this.
Thanks,

I've spend some time investigating this issue and I have some additional
details to add.
The problem seems to be not with "knetworkconf" gui code (C++ code) but with perl code of backend.
When I run
.../backends/network-conf script I see following errors
--
Can't locate /general.pl in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/i586-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/i586-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/i586-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .) at ../backends_back/network-conf line 52.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ../backends_back/network-conf line 58.
--
But there should be no errors when running this script. When I checked all perl scripts I found following
--
$SCRIPTSDIR = "";
if ($SCRIPTSDIR =~ /^@scriptsdir[@]/)
...
--
When I manually edited all perl scripts and specified value of this variable directly in each script:
--
$SCRIPTSDIR = "/usr/share/kde4/apps/knetworkconf/backends";
--
I was able to run this script without errors and knetworkconf started to work.
So the problem is that the value of scriptsdir variable was not defined
in backends scripts. As far as I can see from
http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdeadmin/knetworkconf/backends/ the same
variable is defined in system-tools-backends.pc and probably pkg-config
(http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/wiki/FrontPage) should be used during
compilation to set values of this variable in all scripts (perl sources
have $SCRIPTSDIR = "@scriptsdir@"; definition of this variable and
probably the value should be set during compilation). I am not familiar
with CMake and I am not sure how exactly knetworkconf should be compiled
to set the values of $SCRIPTSDIR variable during compilation. But I hope
that this additional information will help to resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Serhiy

I'm running the final 4.2.0 on Gentoo. This feature has not yet been
implemented.
I also experience the "Could not parse the XML file ()" message, still
in 4.2.0.

The patch works for me (it does not display any error), however no
interfaces are listed.

OK, does the system monitor - network widget work for you? I suppose
that since no network interfaces are shown in the network configuration
window, the widget does not work either.

To answer this question from 6 months back: No, the widget doesn't work
either. I see no network interfaces in System Settings > Network
Settings > Network Settings, and the System monitor - network widget
also shows no data. Although, when I start it it opens two windows,
which is interesting since I have two interfaces (besides lo). But the
windows are empty, and when I try to configure them, the list of
available interfaces is also empty.
This is with KDE 4.3.1 in Debian.
Thanks,
Andrew.

The "knetworkconf" module is unmaintained, and has been replaced with

If this issue still needs to be addressed with a recent version of this
plasmoid, please add a comment, or file a new report for product
"Network Management".

I currently have KDE 4.9.0 installed (upgraded from previous versions of
KDE in turn over the years).
System Settings > Network Settings has five icons in the left column:
- Network Connections
- Proxy
- Connection Preferences
- Service Discovery
- Network Settings
However the last entry, Network Settings should not be there: it was for
the knetworkconf module, which is obsolete (see Comment 46).
If I selected System Settings > Network Settings, a window titled
"Detecting Your Current Platform" popped up with the message "Please
wait while detecting your current platform..." and, immediately after,
on top of it pops up another window titled "Error - System Settings"
with the message "Could not parse the XML file ()."
The Gentoo command line utility 'eix' (yes, I used the command 'eix-
update' to ensure its database is up-to-date) did not list the obsolete
package kde-base/knetworkconf:
# eix knetworkconf
No matches found.
#
which is why I have been so perplexed about this problem, as I
apparently did not have knetworkconf installed. Today I suddenly decided
to try the command 'emerge --search' instead:
$ emerge --search knetworkconf
Searching...
[ Results for search key : knetworkconf ]
[ Applications found : 1 ]
* kde-base/knetworkconf
Latest version installed: 4.5.4

So I unmerged knetworkconf:
$ sudo emerge -C knetworkconf

And now I no longer have that obsolete fifth icon Network Settings in
System Settings > Network Settings, and thus, after trying for several
years, finally got rid of that damned error message "Could not parse the
XML file ()."!
