 Posted: Tue Dec 22, 2009 10:20 pm Post subject: Networkmanager and nm-applet do not work |
 |
|
Hello, I'm having a problem which I've not been able to solve by myself... I have a more or less fresh gentoo amd64 install. I installed nm-applet and it just does not show.
I have of course restarted the dbus service and restarted the whole system a few times. Of course I also have a "Notification Area" in the Gnome menubar which actually shows something (power history and volume).
If I $sudo killall nm-applet and then manually $nm-applet --sm-disable I get the following:
| Code: | $ nm-applet --sm-disable
** (nm-applet:5522): WARNING **: Could not retrieve dbus connections: Failed to execute program /usr/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper: Success.
|
and no Networkmanager shows up.
Any ideas? I'm giving up after hours of googling.
Thanks in advance.

You should add PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="echo"
I guess, you are not reading messages from portage, are you? |

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. The messages at the end of a successful emerge? Of course I read them. (I reinstalled networkmanager/nm-applet 2 times...)
/var/log/portage/elog/summary.log:

You will need to restart DBUS if this is your first time
installing NetworkManager.
To save system-wide settings as a user, that user needs to have the
right policykit privileges. You can add them by running:
polkit-auth --grant org.freedesktop.network-manager-settings.system.modify --user "USERNAME"
|
I have added this directly after installing it;
$ sudo polkit-auth --grant org.freedesktop.network-manager-settings.system.modify --user "myusername"
polkit-auth: AuthorizationAlreadyExists: An authorization for uid 1000 for the action org.freedesktop.network-manager-settings.system.modify with constraint '' already exists
And Networkmanager/nm-applet do not work.
Did you mean this? |

Did you modify the applet. If so let it to default.
One week ago, I installed the same package and I modified it and when rebooting had the same problem as you. |

| Modify it? No, not at all (I've never modified any portage package). Just a plain normal install, and it does not work. |

Here too. After reading this bug report https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=296367 I solved it doing:
| Code: |
chown root:messagebus /usr/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper
chmod 4750 /usr/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper

Ok, I solved it (more or less). It was problably the dumbest thing that could have happened to me. But I'm not sure I can be blamed.
I just did not start /etc/init.d/NetworkManager. I even looked for services in /etc/init.d/net* and found nothing but that damn service is spelled with a capital N...  (even the package name is in lowercase :\)
But now another problem: As soon as NetworkManager is up, it works, BUT: It changes my hostname to "dhcppc3" and this messes up Xorg so that NO Xorg/Gnome applications start anymore! (nothing happens e.g. if I open a gnome-terminal - if I start something from an open console I get hostname error / no display at 0:0 found etc.). When I shutdown NM or do $hostname gentoo it works again. It does not change /etc/conf.d/hostname (still the right "gentoo" hostname there), but $hostname shows the wrong one (dhcppc3).
I have the same behaviour with both dhcpcd and dhcp (dhclient). I did not found an answer on google. Any ideas? |
