Network Manager seems not to work for regular user.

Hello all,

I have a problem with my Network Manager on my new user. So let me tell you what I have installed:
KDE4 UI, networkmanager and kdeplasma-applets-networkmanagement to integrate networkmanager with my KDE user interface.

I have done all these things when I was pimping my arch as root. It was working perfectly fine, until I realized that if I don't want to have any sound issues or messages "can't run as root" - I should create a new user. I did it, new user has a name: erikas.
there is an output of command: groups

      [erikas@PWNED ~]$ groups
      lp wheel network video audio optical storage power users erikas networkmanager

When I try to connect to a new wifi through kdeplasma-applets-networkmanagement, it acts normally - asks me for a wifi password, shows settings window etc, but as soon as I click "apply" button, it shows me this error:

      Error adding connection: No session found for uid 1000 (unknown)

I did - I googled a lot about it. this is what I found: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1184313
I am not sure that this is the same problem, I also saw the line where OP edited his top comment: To fix problem one must init Systemd to fix all problems. I literally have no idea what to do, even what it means...

Also I found on wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … figuration
I think I haven't done something.

So, can anyone point me where and what should I do, and what additional information I should post? Thank you.

EDIT: I just reinstalled a whole arch and started to use regular user. Its fine now. I think it is mainly caused by only using root user, not a regular at all!
