Networkmanager broken?

Dear everyone,

I'm having a little trouble with my networkmanager. Usually this is not a problem, but when logging in (or trying to...) in somewhat more 'complicated' WiFi networks (WPA enterprise mainly), I'm kinda stuck.

Whenever I try to start the Network application (Gnome 3) I get the error "The configuration could not be loaded. An unknown error occurred". When I try to start network-admin from terminal, I get this response:

(network-admin:1310): Liboobs-WARNING **: There was an unknown error communicating with the backends: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 127

I've tried reinstalling several things, but to no avail. I've also Googled the error message (of course), but this didn't give me anything useful.

Some system details
Lenovo S10
2.6.39-ARCH
Gnome 3
Broadcom BCM4312 wireless network card
broadcom-wl driver


Thanks in advance!

that means you are not using networkmanager but gnome-system-tools. Can you stop using that crap and really use network-manager-applet or System settings->network ?


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

Re: Networkmanager broken?

I'd love to, but how?? The System -> settings network is what I think I am using (Gnome3, so no more System settings menu), I have network-manager-applet installed but it's not a program I can run!

Re: Networkmanager broken?

i guess you didn't even start networkmanager daemon in the first place.

/etc/rc.d/networkmanager start

the nm-applet icon witll appear automagically in the systray. System Settings exists if you click on your name in the upper-right corner

Oh, yeah, but all of that is working! And I DO have the network-manager daemon running.

Re: Networkmanager broken?

Also, I notice that the network manager daemon (and the applet) seems to crash every time I do try to log in to a "complicated" network. I can restart it with "/etc/rc.d/networkmanager start".
I did notice that some other commands, for example time-admin, caused the same crash and error message. Maybe that helps?

Linus
