[SOLVED] NM-applet mobilebroadband option can't be enabled - Openbox
Hello, i'm already searching a wiki and google but not yet got an answer. I'm running openbox as WM & DE. I follow the guide from arch wiki to enabling nm-applet, so i install tint2 *my fav*, xfce4-notifyd, and gnome keyring.
I can go through the wizard to add a new mobilebroadband connecton, but when i do a right click on nm-applet to enable "mobilebroadband option" it's unclikable. The connection to my Mobile is there, but when i click it, nothing happens. It's because the mobilebroadband option is not yet enabled.
Do i miss any steps? Can someone help me?
Regards,
credit to #! forums for the help

Since no one is helping i finally figure out how to make it works,
as superuser
- create a new group named "networkmanager"
#sudo groupadd networkmanager
- add your user to the group
#sudo gpasswd -a yourusername networkmanager
- create a new connection on Mobile broadband and tick "available for all user" check box
and also check for connect automaticly.
restart network manager and enjoy the connection
