xfce4 and gnome-network-manager [solved]

anarxi · 2009-01-13 19:10:02

I just made a clean install of archlinux. installed xorg and Xfce4, xfce-goodies, gnome-panel, gnome-desktop and gnome-network-manager. also I enabled GNOME services in startup and sessions. how do I start that network manager now? is nowhere in the settings, nor there is icon to add to the taskbar (i got xfapplets installed too)

whats your locale in rc.conf?

anarxi · 2009-01-13 19:47:22

en_US.utf8

Cew27 · 2009-01-13 19:53:16

quoted from a previous thread
I solved it by uncommenting my <locale><charset> in /etc/locale.gen.

First you have to enable the locales you want being supported by your system. To enable or disable them, the file /etc/locale.gen is used. It contains every locale you can enable, and you have just to uncomment lines you want to do so.

As we want to setup an english UTF-8 conform system, we want to enable en_US.UTF-8. But for compatibility to programs that don't support UTF-8 yet, it's recommended to support any other locale, prefixed with en_US as well. Having this in mind, we enable this set of locales:

en_US.UTF8    UTF-8
en_US  ISO-8859-1

After you've enabled the necessary locales, you have to run locale-gen as root to update them:

# sudo locale-gen
Generating locales...
  en_US.UTF-8... done
  en_US.ISO-8859-1... done
Generation complete.

yeah just googled that, now I get no errors when I start nm-applet, and no applet itself what else I am missing?

Cew27 · 2009-01-13 19:59:43

the notification bar at the top? what happens when you run it from term

Cew27 · 2009-01-13 20:00:36

also try rebooting

anarxi · 2009-01-13 20:04:47

tried rebooting. when I run nm-applet nothing happens, cursor goes to new line and stays there, like application started, except that there is no application.

Cew27 · 2009-01-13 20:13:39

is hal started? (that starts dbus)

anarxi · 2009-01-13 20:15:45

yes hal and dbus are running

Cew27 · 2009-01-13 20:19:58

gmm
get gdb - pacman -S gdb
and run - gdb nm-applet
then - run
and post output

anarxi · 2009-01-13 20:22:36

em, I got it working. added to rc.conf "networkmanager" and it starts. before I always tried to start manually with nm-applet. thanks.

Cew27 · 2009-01-13 20:32:01

nm-applet or networkmanager in rc.conf
quoted from above, should of been and nor or.
sorry

anarxi · 2009-01-13 22:04:35

this is a bit strange. if I put "nm-applet" in rc.conf it does not start, if i put "networkmanager" i get random ammount of applets (10, or 3, or 5 random after each reboot). I can use "killall nm-applet" and then start from console "nm-applet" then i get just one, and everything is fine. but if I do not put anything in rc.conf, I cannot start at all.

I guess noone saw this?

Should be pretty comprehensive .

anarxi · 2009-01-13 23:17:33

I saw that. its the same as starting it from console, does not work. the only way to get nm-applet working for me is tu put "networkmanager" to the rc.conf daemons list, then kill them all then I boot up, and then start it manually.

netVare · 2009-01-13 23:59:50

I got it working in XFCE by adding a "nm-applet --sm-disable" to startup, but that's XFCE startup (take a look at system configuration in menu) but i didn't put it in rc.conf. And yes it needs hal and networkmanager daemons. Networkmanagers seems to be pulling dhcbcd as well so you can drop it from rc.conf i suppose. I think most of it is in the wiki...

anarxi · 2009-01-14 00:22:32

ok, i feel stupid. sorry didin't set not to boot network inside rc.conf. (!network) now everything is perfect
