[SOLVED] Cinnamon - network settings kind of broken

Hey,

after the last huge update -everything went fine- my network setting seem to be broken, although I'm online. When clicking "Network" in Cinnamon's system systems or right clicking on the NetworkManager applet and selecting "Network Settings" an additional popup appears saying:

The system network services are not compatible with this version.

I can simply close it and then look at my network setting, but the interface doesn't show up anymore.

I have no clue how to fix this, here are some information:

[klemens@arch-pc ~]$ psl network manager
local/libnm-glib 1.0.0-1
    NetworkManager library
local/libnm-gtk 1.0.0-1
    NetworkManager GUI library
local/network-manager-applet 1.0.0-1
    Applet for managing network connections
local/networkmanager 1.0.0-1
    Network Management daemon
local/networkmanager-openconnect 1.0.0-1
    NetworkManager VPN integration for openconnect
local/networkmanager-openvpn 1.0.0-2
    NetworkManager VPN plugin for OpenVPN

[klemens@arch-pc ~]$ ip link
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default 
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: enp0s25: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether e0:56:88:41:77:e6 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

As already mentioned, my internet connection works fine, it's just not configurable through cinnamon anymore. Is anyone experiencing similar behaviour?

Hi,

I'm experiencing the exact same behaviour.

If it's a version compatibility issue, it could has been caused by the recent update of networkmanager (updated to 1.0.0-1 on 2015-01-24 15:31 UTC) and its components.

A downgrade would confirm but my arch is a fresh install.

Re: [SOLVED] Cinnamon - network settings kind of broken

yup seems to be a version issue. There is some version check in cinnamon-control-center
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=192939

Although I can still edit network connections. Clicking on the network Manager applet has to options at the bottom "Network Setting" (doesn't work) and "Network Connections" which shows another dialog to edit connections this one works. It might that it comes with the network-manager-applet package. If so this might be a workaround until the version check in the control center gets fixed upstream.
Another solution would be to apply the patch proposed in the thread I linked but I didn't try that.

Re: [SOLVED] Cinnamon - network settings kind of broken

I two am having this issue, my HP dv6t3000 can not connect to any wifi connections now. Is there any fix for this? I guess I could try removing NetworkManager and installing a .tar.xz from the Arch Linux Rollback Machine repo(s) and then set Networkmanager not to update through pacman. That sounds pretty good actually as I don't think there is a fix yet.

Re: [SOLVED] Cinnamon - network settings kind of broken

altiris, you could use another networking tool. Another option would be to configure Networkmanager via nmtui or nmcli from the command line.
Also did you read my previous post?

Using nmtui worked great!
First time I ever used it, and had no issues.

cinnamon-control-center has been updated and fixed compatibility with networkmanager 1.0.
