Problem with nm-applet after update to 0.8.2-2

boxuser007 · 2010-11-25 00:38:27

I am experience problem with nm-applet since i updated it from 0.8.1-2 to 0.8.2-2.
1.Can't connect to wireless networks with my regular user (as root I can)
2.Can't turn off and on wireless and ethernet connections
The config file in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-applet.conf was overwrited by this update, so I edited it EXACTLY as it was before, the same about /etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager.conf
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Updated lines in nm-applet.conf:

Updated line in NetworkManager.conf

<policy group="network">
<allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"
send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/>
</policy>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'am using currently Xfce environment version 4.6.2 (Xfce 4.6)
For running gnome-applets I've installed on my system following packages.

-Thanks for posting link to right discussion topic. By the way all changes to dbus configurations was done by following this wiki page https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Networkmanager .
-Downgrading and locking from updates solved the problem.
I've found my solution, due to lack of time for work around I just downgraded networkmanager and network-manager-applet packages (btw, just downgrading nm-applet doesn't help, seems to me some problem remain in networkmanager package itself)
-I also tried the solution mentioned here https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/21391 it doesn't help neither (I use SLiM) even after reboot

pacman -S extra/consolekit and use exec ck-launch-session wm in ~/.xinitrc
