[SOLVED] networkmanager upgrade: dispatcher scripts are not working...

Hi there,

when I update from networkmanager  0.9.8.0-6 to 0.9.8.2-1 my dispatcher scripts are not working anymore.
You can try to reproduce this very simple. Put a simple script which touches a file in /tmp and see if the file is present after enabling a connection.

cat /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/test 
#!/usr/bin/bash
touch /tmp/dispatcher

Can anybody conform this issue?

Maybe the topic "Pacman & Package Upgrade Issues" is a much more suitable place for this issue. Can anybody move it to there? Thanks....

I don't know if this is mentioned anywhere, but I solved this problem by enabling "dbus-org.freedesktop.nm-dispatcher.service".

Also, you can use the Report link in the lower corner of your post to request a moderator to move it to "Pacman & Package Upgrade Issues"

Hi  aesiris,

thanks for the tip. Doing a "systemctl enable NetworkManager-dispatcher.service" makes it work again.
Anyway there was no hint that this service must be enabled in post_{install,upgrade}.
Maybe this can be useful for the others.
