nm-applet doesn't work after upgrade

After yaourt -Syu tonight, nm-applet refuses to start:

$ nm-applet 
libnotify-Message: GetCapabilities call failed: Too few arguments in reply

** (nm-applet:3229): WARNING **: <WARN>  request_name(): Could not acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings service.
  Error: (9) Connection ":1.34" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings" due to security policies in the configuration file

Re: nm-applet doesn't work after upgrade

This is due to the new version of hal. See http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 99#p653899 and downwards.

Good ideas do not need lots of lies told about them in order to gain public acceptance.

Re: nm-applet doesn't work after upgrade

/etc/rc.d/dbus reload
/etc/rc.d/hal restart
/etc/rc.d/networkmanager restart

That should do it. Sometimes dbus doesn't reload its policy files correctly and causes programs to fail.

Re: nm-applet doesn't work after upgrade

Hi, I have also this problem.
There's probably a bug in network-manager-applet, even installing git versions of both  networkmanager and nm-applet doesn't help.

I guess Ill have to stick with knetworkmanager for some time

EDIT:
even cnetworkmanager doesn't work. Gives more info about this error:

ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on :1.60:/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Rejected send message, 2 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.62" (uid=1000 pid=22100 comm="/usr/bin/python) interface="org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable" member="Introspect" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination=":1.60" (uid=0 pid=22065 comm="/usr/sbin/NetworkManager))

So the problem might be in networkmanager itself...

i hardwired into my router and updated...i think i got another hal update and dhcpcd update and later some kind of init update.  still couldn't get networkmanager up.  wicd would not connect wirelessly either, but would load up fine. 

eventually i gave up and rebooted.  wicd still wouldn't connect wirelessly, so i unloaded that and tried loading networkmanager again and voila.  it loaded up fine and connected wirelessly. 

i wish i knew what was jammed up or causing problems, because i doubt just a reboot will fix everything for everybody.

good luck, gents.

Re: nm-applet doesn't work after upgrade

I had the same problem.

The solution that worked for me was on the Arch Wiki page for NetworkManager.

Take a look at
