NetworkManager doesn't work on gnome

Tenshu · 2008-09-08 08:29:31

Hi there,

I installed Gnome and everything works, but if i install NetworkManager and start it there isn't any tray icon.

If i kill nm-applet and then start it again i got this messgae/error:

** (nm-applet:2168): WARNING **: <WARN> hal_net_physdev_cb(): dbus returned an error.
(org.freedesktop.Hal.NoSuchProperty) No property net.physical_device on device with id /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/net_(removed mac address)

** (nm-applet:2168): WARNING **: <WARN> hal_net_physdev_cb(): dbus returned an error.
(org.freedesktop.Hal.NoSuchProperty) No property net.physical_device on device with id /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/net_(removed mac address)

Thanks in advance

Is your network device working (can you ping google.com, for example)? Maybe you do not have the appropriate module loaded in /etc/rc.conf for your NIC or wireless card.

or maybe you aren't in the right groups. could you paste the output of the command "groups"?

Thanks for a quick answer.

@kclive18: Yes i'am connected to the internet (wired).

@wonder: I post my groups on the user and root account.

This is in my groups (user)

root adm tty disk kmem wheel ftp mail log locate dbus hal avahi network video audio optical storage camera power users gdm

This is in my groups (root)

root bin adm sys disk wheel log dbus hal

* edit: Never mind..

Never mind wonder, but should there be more groups in de root or user?

I'm trying for days to get it work, but with no succes.

BTW, wicd is no option. I have always trouble connecting with my wireless network.

Thanks, wonder it works now.

Next problems is.
How can i delete groups from a user?
If i delete a user from 'User Settings' when i close it and go back to de 'Uder Setting' the user does stil exist.

I have a test account and my main account. De test account has al good groups, but not de name i want to use. On the other hand my main account has not the good groups, zo there iw want to delete the unesasary groups.

Thanks in advance

gpasswd -a USER somegroup
this command will add USER to somegroup
gpasswd -d USER somegroup
this command will delete USER from somegroup

Tenshu · 2008-09-13 14:40:19

Thanks,

the last think is how can i delete a user completly with /home/username folder?

finferflu · 2008-09-13 14:52:46

userdel username

Will remove the user and prompt if you want to remove its home folder as well, if I remember correctly.

I have had some problems with networkmanager recently also, although I had those problems in Debian and Ubuntu (in Arch I use netcfg or wicd). Just yesterday I installed Ubuntu for a friend of mine and I had to manually connect to his wireless network, because NM didn't get an IP-address. And upon shutdown, NM spat out some warnings and errors.

I don't trust that package anymore.
