[solved] Network manager error

biltong · 2011-09-11 07:10:28

I installed network manager as the wiki says, added myself to the network group and added the policy kit file. When I did this process on my main box, it worked perfectly, but on my laptop running largely the same things (except 32 bit not 64) I'm getting a little authentication box whenever my network interface comes up, asking for root's password. I put it in, and it instantly says it disconnected. If I run nm-applet from a terminal, I get this error after typing in root's password:

Gkr-Message: secret service operation failed: The name org.freedesktop.secrets was not provided by any .service files

I'm using xfce if that makes any difference. Anyone got anything I can try?

Oh and the only reason I'm using NM is because I'm sick of wicd deciding HERP DERP IMA DISCONNECT RIGHT NOW and then not connecting again afterwards. Though since NM isn't working I have to use wpa_supplicant and dhcpcd directly myself.

EDIT: Ooops, this is the wrong section Could a mod please move it to Networking?

Now I find gnome-keyring is not installed. That should be made a dependancy for network manager. I also (thanks to that thread) double checked I had the file the wiki said I needed to create, and it turns out I made a typo with my extension. It had .plka instead of .pkla XD Mah bad! So now I just need to get wpa_supplicant to connect one more time and I should be good to go
