Networkmanager Applet

radiomist · 2012-06-19 19:33:37

I can't launch the networkmanager applet or NM plasmoid, got this error:

lepton@Potato ~]$ nm-applet

** (nm-applet:2002): WARNING **: Could not initialize NMClient /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager: Rejected send message, 2 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.44" (uid=1000 pid=2002 comm="nm-applet ") interface="org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" member="GetAll" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager" (uid=0 pid=516 comm="/usr/sbin/NetworkManager --no-daemon ")
** Message: applet now removed from the notification area
** Message: applet now embedded in the notification area
** Message: applet now removed from the notification area

But sudo nm-applet works :S

My user is on Network Group

Any idea for this ???

Read the wiki page for NetworkManager.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager

If you still have problems, can you tell me which DE/WM and login manager are you using? Also, post your ~/.xinitrc and /etc/rc.conf (preferably using pastebin.com).

I'm using KDE,
i think is a Systemd issue cause, when i boot with the default init scripts, Networkmanager works fine.
But booting with systemd causes the strange behavior.

The same issue: no icon if running as normal user, and no interfaces if running as root.
The only difference I see between init and systemd implementations is "--no-daemon" in last one. Still, running NetworkManager w/o this option as root gave no result. What can be done more?

Using Systemd, lightdm, xfce with latest updates.
~/.xinitrc is standard:

if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f
fi

I had the same problem with Systemd / lightdm / xfce4.

I modified dbus-access rights to get it working again. In /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.conf, I changed <deny to <allow for the entries with "Sleep", "sleep", "wake", and send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager"/> in the section <policy context="default">

That fix the problem. Txs!

tomasabril · 2012-07-19 01:53:42

Is this file /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.conf part of NetworkManager or systemd? It should get fixed upstream. (or in arch as it is just a configuration).
Its funny that it works in gnome.

Don't forget to mark it as solved (by editing the first post).

Thanks, this fix my problem, too. Is this a NetworkManager bug?

mtrath · 2012-08-20 09:11:46

Thanks, fixed for me, too. Same setup: systemd 188-2, lightdm 1.3.2-3, XFCE4.10

Changed deny to allow at the send_destination lines in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.conf.

$ pacman -Qo /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.conf
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.conf is owned by networkmanager 0.9.4.0-6

I had the same problem while switching to systemd but only with my desktop, on my laptop nm-applet started just fine.
The problem was with lxdm and pam, after changing /etc/pam.d/lxdm from

#%PAM-1.0
auth            requisite       pam_nologin.so
auth            required        pam_env.so
auth            required        pam_unix.so
auth            optional        pam_gnome_keyring.so
account         required        pam_unix.so
session         required        pam_limits.so
session         required        pam_unix.so
session         optional        pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start
password        required        pam_unix.so

to

#%PAM-1.0
auth            requisite       pam_nologin.so
auth            required        pam_env.so
auth            required        pam_unix.so
account         required        pam_unix.so
session         required        pam_limits.so
session         required        pam_unix.so
password        required        pam_unix.so
-session optional pam_systemd.so

nm-applet started again (and the keyring seemed to unlock as well). Somehow the new /etc/pam.d/lxdm was not installed correctly on my desktop.

You probably want to readd those gnome_keyring lines... Assuming you added them there for a reason.

Edit: BTW, I used that "fix" too. I'm not 100% sure the dbus one is safe.

You're correct, the keyring lines are still needed to unlock the keyring upon login.

yep this really fixed it.

pingpong · 2012-10-31 23:24:19

I wish I can say that.

I have a similar problem NM runs but I cannot join any new networks it complains: "Failed to add/activate" connection (32) Insufficient privileges.
Also, I cannot enable/disable wireless (or network) from nm-applet.

I modified the dbus-access rights are described above but it does not solve the problem.
I'm not using lxdm so I don't know what I should look into in pam.d.

I don't use any graphic login manager, just boot to a console and start openbox using xinit
It sounds like a premission issue (I recently removed gnome since I don't use it)... several people had helped me in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=151848
But I still cannot get NM to work correctly again.

Help help to fix this problem is great appreciated.

When I upgraded my system today (using Archlinux as a secondary system to play and observe what's new, while my main system is Debian testing),
I've also experienced this strange behaviour. Networkmanager daemon was already running, but I was unable to control it and it also had
a problem with dbus access, therefore network management applet in KDE (package kdeplasma-applets-networkmanagement)
was throwing at me an error saying "networkmanager is not running" - although daemon was started correctly.

I've SOLVED this by migrating to systemd.

After installing systemd, you should modify your /etc/default/grub to use it - by adding systemd as a kernel boot parameter.
After modification it should look something like this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd"

then don't forget to update grub configuration:
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

and of course enable networkmanager service by
sudo systemctl enable NetworkManager.service

Now I have fully working NM applet again in my KDE

If you experience problems with nm-applet in combination with lightdm and xfce. Update lightdm and lightdm-gtk-greeter.

You, sir, are DA MAAAAAN. I logged in just to thank you. I'm a Debian user mostly
Cheers!

I hope this crap gets fixed already. It's April 2014 already and it still isn't fixed.
