Problem with D-BUS or Consolekit or Polkit or....??

Hey Forum.

Yes I know the title sucks, but this is my situation....

Some things are broken and I don't know why......I'm going to concentrate on nm-applet for now, as I could imagine, that the rest (automounting under fluxbox) will go away as well....


When I want to connect to ANY network via nm-applet, it just gives me an error message:

Code: Select all

spiderpigloki@localhost ~ $ nm-applet
** Message: applet now removed from the notification area
** Message: applet now embedded in the notification area

** (nm-applet:3202): WARNING **: Hinzufügen/Aktivierung der Verbindung schlug fehl: (32) Insufficient privileges.
(Translation: Adding / activating of the connection failed: (32) Insufficient privileges.)

spiderpigloki@localhost ~ $ dbus-monitor

Fluxbox is started via slim with the following login-cmd:

Code: Select all

localhost spiderpigloki # grep login_cmd /etc/slim.conf 
# login_cmd           exec /bin/sh - ~/.xinitrc %session
# login_cmd           exec /bin/bash -login ~/.xinitrc %session
#login_cmd           exec /bin/bash -login /usr/share/slim/Xsession %session
login_cmd 	    exec /usr/bin/ck-launch-session /usr/bin/dbus-launch /bin/bash -login ~/.xinitrc

The ones that are commented out are from different sources....

Code: Select all

localhost spiderpigloki # cat .xinitrc 
# polkit agent
/usr/libexec/polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 &

/bin/thinkfan &

# finally: start fluxbox
exec startfluxbox

few startup-scripts, that might be of importance....

Code: Select all

dbus |      default                 
consolekit |      default                 
NetworkManager |      default                 
net.lo | boot                         
netmount |      default 

Any suggestions for a better title are also welcome...

Maybe some of you noticed that I had this on solved, but it is back again.....

It was working fine on tuesday but now (2 days later) I was by my GF and now the error is the same.....

I quited fluxbox and now nm-applet gives me the (32) insufficient rights thing.

Here's the original solved-post

It was Consolekit (I suppose..).
I just followed the guide in the forum

A little compiling of dbus-glib there; throw away that file witch manually started ck-sessions and dbus and voilla! It works.
