Hey Gentoo Users,

I'm not sure if the error is with me or my system or whatever but as I cannot find anything inside this forum, I guess that I'm the only one facing this issue.

Since several weeks I cannot use the plasma-nm to manage network connections anymore. It simply shows "NetworkManager 0.9.8 required found %1"

My whole system is up2date, everything is working except that. Am I really the only person facing this issue?


I have the following setup:

Code:

*  net-misc/networkmanager
      Latest version available: 1.14.0
      Latest version installed: 1.14.0
      Size of files: 4.287 KiB
      Homepage:      https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/NetworkManager
      Description:   A set of co-operative tools that make networking simple and straightforward
      License:       GPL-2+

*  kde-plasma/plasma-nm
      Latest version available: 5.13.5-r1
      Latest version installed: 5.13.5-r1
      Size of files: 690 KiB
      Homepage:      https://www.kde.org/

I'm using Gentoo amd64 on one machine and ~amd64 on another, and both NetworkManager and plasma-nm are working fine in both those installations. I have no idea why you're seeing that message, but I know which of plasma-nm's source files is responsible for it:

https://github.com/KDE/plasma-nm/blob/Plasma/5.13/libs/declarative/networkstatus.cpp

Lines 226-239 (notice Line 235):
Code:
226 QString NetworkStatus::checkUnknownReason() const
227 {
228     // Check if NetworkManager is running.
229     if (!QDBusConnection::systemBus().interface()->isServiceRegistered(NM_DBUS_INTERFACE)) {
230         return i18n("NetworkManager not running");
231     }
232
233     // Check for compatible NetworkManager version.
234     if (NetworkManager::compareVersion(0, 9, 8) < 0) {
235         return i18n("NetworkManager 0.9.8 required, found %1.", NetworkManager::version());
236     }
237
238     return i18nc("global connection state", "Unknown");
239 }

checkUnknownReason is called in Line 135:

Lines 112-137:
Code:
112 switch (status) {
113         case NetworkManager::ConnectedLinkLocal:
114             m_networkStatus = i18nc("A network device is connected, but there is only link-local connectivity", "Connected");
115             break;
116         case NetworkManager::ConnectedSiteOnly:
117             m_networkStatus = i18nc("A network device is connected, but there is only site-local connectivity", "Connected");
118             break;
119         case NetworkManager::Connected:
120             m_networkStatus = i18nc("A network device is connected, with global network connectivity", "Connected");
121             break;
122         case NetworkManager::Asleep:
123             m_networkStatus = i18nc("Networking is inactive and all devices are disabled", "Inactive");
124             break;
125         case NetworkManager::Disconnected:
126             m_networkStatus = i18nc("There is no active network connection", "Disconnected");
127             break;
128         case NetworkManager::Disconnecting:
129             m_networkStatus = i18nc("Network connections are being cleaned up", "Disconnecting");
130             break;
131         case NetworkManager::Connecting:
132             m_networkStatus = i18nc("A network device is connecting to a network and there is no other available network connection", "Connecting");
133             break;
134         default:
135             m_networkStatus = checkUnknownReason();
136             break;
137 }

Can you use nmtui successfully in a Konsole window? Are all connections shown by nmtui and can you connect and disconnect to them using nmtui?:

Code:
$ sudo nmtui

Any error messages in /var/log/messages?

Have you tried uninstalling and re-installing just plasma-nm?

The only thing I noticed immediately from a cursory glance at the output of 'emerge --info' you posted is the following:

Code:
PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_5" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_5"


I'm using:

Code:
PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_6" PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_6"


because the Gentoo News item of 22 May 2018 stated:

Quote:

Python 3.6 to become the default target

Title: Python 3.6 to become the default target
Author: Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org>
Posted: 2018-05-22
Revision: 1
News-Item-Format: 2.0
Display-If-Installed: dev-lang/python:3.4
Display-If-Installed: dev-lang/python:3.5

On 2018-06-22, Python 3.6 will replace Python 3.5 in the default Python
targets for Gentoo systems. The new default targets will be:

PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_6"
PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_6"

If you have not overriden the value of those variables on your system,
then your package manager will want to use the new targets immediately.
In order to prevent dependency conflicts, please clean stray packages
and rebuild/upgrade all packages with USE flag changes after the change,
e.g.:

emerge --depclean
emerge -1vUD @world
emerge --depclean

Please note that upgrading dependencies in place may cause some
of the package dependencies to be temporarily missing. While this
should not affect scripts that are already fully loaded, it may cause
ImportErrors while starting Python scripts or loading additional
modules (only scripts running Python 3.5 are affected).

In order to improve stability of the upgrade, you may choose to
temporarily enable both targets, i.e. set in /etc/portage/make.conf
or its equivalent:

PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_5 python3_6"
PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_5"

This will cause the dependencies to include both Python 3.5 and 3.6
support on the next system upgrade. Once all packages are updated,
you can restart your scripts, remove the custom setting and run another
upgrade to remove support for Python 3.5.

If you would like to postpone the switch to Python 3.6, you can copy
the current value of PYTHON_TARGETS and/or PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET
to /etc/portage/make.conf or its equivalent:

PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7 python3_5"
PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_5"

If you would like to migrate your systems earlier, you can do the same
with the new value.

If you are still using Python 3.4, please consider switching to a newer
version as it is reaching its end-of-life. The end-of-life dates
for the currently used versions are:

Python 3.4 2019-03-16
Python 2.7 2020-01-01
Python 3.5 2020-09-13 [1]

[1]:https://devguide.python.org/#status-of-python-branches


I don't see how that would be the cause of your problem, though.

Thanks for the hint with nmtui, didn't know that there is something like this!

It appears DBus is rejecting access to NetworkManager:

Code:

NetworkManager konnte nicht erreicht werden: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Rejected send message, 4 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.130" (uid=1000 pid=12319 comm="nmtui ") interface="org.freedesktop.DBus.ObjectManager" member="GetManagedObjects" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination=":1.1" (uid=0 pid=3381 comm="/usr/sbin/NetworkManager --pid-file /run/NetworkMa").


However, I did not change DBus rules, they all should be default. My user is in wheel / plugdev group.


Thanks for the Python hint, will update it :-)

I see that your output from 'emerge --info' includes the consolekit USE flag. I therefore assume you are using OpenRC, not systemd, and that you want to use ConsoleKit rather than elogind. Therefore, do you have the systemd USE flag set inadvertently in any packages? What is the eix output for NetworkManager, for example?

Code:
# eix --installed networkmanager


If you don't already have them in /etc/portage/make.conf, I recommend you add the USE flags "consolekit -elogind -systemd" (and check in /etc/portage/package.use/* to make sure those are not being overridden) and rebuild your world set:

Code:
# emerge --ask --changed-use --deep @world

Thanks for your help guys!

The nmtui tool returned the DBus error and with that error I've found a thread where a similar issue existed with another KDE service.

The solution is:

Code:

1. backup /etc/dbus-1
2. emerge -C sys-apps/dbus && emerge -vD sys-apps/dbus


After that, etc-update shows a lot of dbus related files, I did all updates.

From then, nmtui was working! After a reboot, the plasma-nm applet is also working!

Just one issue (related to the current networkmanager-openvpn package) was a timeout issue when starting VPN connections. I've downgraded to networkmanager-openvpn-1.8.4 and now everything is working as expected!

Many thanks!
