[SOLVED] Network Manager not working after disabling GDM daemon

Morning All,

  1st post so go easy on me.

I have recently setup Arch on a Samsung Q320 notebook, using GNOME DE and enabling gdm. Everything is working fine installed network manager no probs it connects to wireless network each time I login, really impressed with the distro. However I have been playing around with it a bit and when a disable the 'gdm' daemon by prefixing it with '!' in /etc/rc.conf, then reboot then login in with username & pw,  and 'startx'  GNOME DE starts fine however network manager fails to start, it is still located in the preferences menu I can open it and see the networks I have created previously however cannot join any of them. Can shed any light on the situation.

Cheers

Chris

just add in ~/.xinitrc

exec ck-launch-session gnome-session

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
