Re: NetworkManager

I also can't connect with networkmanager.
When i try to restart it i get this error:

:: Starting NetworkManager                                               [BUSY]
/opt/gnome/sbin/NetworkManager: error while loading shared libraries:
libiw.so.28: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory                                                                         [FAIL]

Somebody fixed it yet ?

rebuild it, wireless tools was updated to 0.29

thx i fixed it.
I now know why i can't connect anymore dhcdbd isn't running.
Is there yet a daemon script for?

edit: I found the script in this thread

Re: NetworkManager

hey guys, having some problems over here.
i don't have the network daemon running at all.  i have eth0="dhcp" and ra0="dhcp" in my rc.conf.  i started the dhcpcd daemon, and ran NetworkManager --no-daemon to show output.

here's what i get when i try to connect:

NetworkManager: <information>   ra0: Device is fully-supported using driver 'rt2500'.
NetworkManager: <information>   nm_device_init(): waiting for device's worker thread to start
NetworkManager: <information>   nm_device_init(): device's worker thread started, continuing.
NetworkManager: <information>   Now managing wireless (802.11) device 'ra0'.
-------------------
NetworkManager: <information>   SUP: sending command 'INTERFACE_ADD ra0         wext    /usr/var/run/wpa_supplicant     '
ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported
WEXT auth param 7 value 0x1 - ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Operation not supported
ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Operation not supported
ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Operation not supported
ioctl[SIOCSIWENCODEEXT]: Operation not supported
ioctl[SIOCSIWAUTH]: Operation not supported

there's a lot of operation not supported things.  anyone got a clue how to debug this?  or perhaps even more output?

Re: NetworkManager

Hi,

I'm having troubles connecting to my WPA network with NetworkManager (v0.6.3) from testing using bcm43xx driver on kernel26-2.6.17.4-2.

Re: NetworkManager

hypermegachi: the rt2500 isn't supported
http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManagerHardware

try it with the ndiswrapper.

big_gie: it seems your driver is still somewhat buggy

Re: NetworkManager

ndiswrapper works like a charm.

and maybe to clear up some confusion, the network daemon has to be started for it to work (with lo as the only interface)

Maybe thats the reason. I am now able to connect by trying many times. After 2 or 3 times, it connect.

I'm a bit disapointed at NetworkManager. Not that I have to manually try many times. Why does it have to ask me for the keyring password to access the wpa key? If I don't want to boot in X and stay in console, theres no way to control it (or am I missing something?).

I think I'll try the native arch wireless thing. At least it should connect at bootup, and not at the end of Gnome's loading.

VPN is not in the releases yet but only in CVS. I have made PKGBUILDS for them  however:

Re: NetworkManager

oooooookay....... has anyone had this problem?
When I go to the terminal and type
nm-applet (or nm-applet &)

I get this error....(which repeats for quite a while...)

(nm-applet:4517): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

I have a fresh Arch install. and I installed gnome-network-manager from testing.

Re: NetworkManager

nevermind...
I uninstalled gnome-network-manager networkmanager dhcdbd and dhclient and then I build networkmanager and dhcdbd from the aur and reinstalled the rest, this time from Gandulf's repo, (thanks Gandaulf) and then restarted and Network-Manger is online...

FYI I have a WUSB54g wifi card using ndiswrapper,  if you have those specs, I would be glad to help you with your wifi problems.

Re: NetworkManager

Hmm, network manager worked perfectly for me ~2 weeks ago. Now I upgraded and with the latest networkmanager + gnomenetworkmanager from 'community' I'm getting:

** (nm-applet:6827): WARNING **: <WARNING>       nma_dbus_init (): nma_dbus_init() could not acquire its service.  dbus_bus_acquire_service() says: 'Connection ":1.19" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo" due to security policies in the configuration file'

Looks like a permission problem mentioned before. I can use NM as root, but that's not handy. My versions:

local/gnome-network-manager 0.6.4-1
    Gnome frontend to NetworkManager
local/libnetworkmanager 0.6.4-2
    The Network Manager Library
local/networkmanager 0.6.4-2
    A Network Manager

Any hints/clues?

thanks in advance,

Re: NetworkManager

mdk: It seems like gnome-network-manager from testing is actually broken. It has its d-bus policies wrong. (Further more there seems to be some glib(related) problems as well. I have filed a bug on the d-bus issue, http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/5280.

Im actually not quite sure who is responsible for the package in question. I have talked to Blaasvis about it but he hadn't time atm. So one should probably talk to JGC. I am unfortunately also quite busy atm.

Re: NetworkManager

go to /etc/dbus-1/system.d

edit NetworkManager.conf and nm-applet.conf and change "deny" to "allow" for the default policy.

Re: NetworkManager

hypermegachi: dont do that. Then you will allow anyone to access that interface. Change the policy at_console to read group="users" instead. At least that give a _little_ higher security.

So change the line reading:

<policy at_console="true">

to

<policy group="users">

This is actually exactly what the missing policy.patch does.
