[SOLVED]Network Manager issue
Hi guys
Some days ago i met this problem. I installed NetworkManager using pacman on KDE Plasma5 and i ran it using systemctl. It has started to work fine. Before did other checks i rebooted the system. (obviously i enabled the NetworkManager service).
When the system was up i could see on the right the icon of network manager looking for a network.
Here the problem from the moment after the connection up i could't launch any application.
I tried to launch terminal but a warning window with this sentence "KDEInit could not launch '/usr/bin/konsole'" appears.
I checked the journal and i found
new-host konsole[4658]: Could not connect to any X display.
I also realized that i just couldn't launch apps. But those launched before were still running.
So i disabled NetworkManager, launched terminal and enabled NetworkManager. I tried to launch some apps like chromium or spotify from terminal but this warning occured:
Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0
I found that this problem starts when connection is up. If i put the system offline everything turns out well.
I also tried to delete NetworkManager and reinstall it from scratch but it gives me the same problem.
I tried to figure out how Xserver works (very nice lecture) but i didn't found nothing usefull.
Finally i decided to ask here

You must have skipped that portion when you installed Arch per the Wiki. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … figuration
