After using wicd for a long time, due to not being able to get NetworkManager to function on lfs a while back, I decided to give NM another chance on a systemd and KDE system.
First, if not building with iptables, a --without-iptables switch is needed to successfully configure the package. This should be added to the blfs command explanations. Also, --with-session-tracking=systemd is needed if using loginctl instead of consolekit for session tracking. You might also want to use the --with-systemdsystemunitdir=/lib/systemd/system switch. I think three different locations (/etc/systemd/system, /lib/systemd/system and /usr/lib/systemd/system) for service files is too much to keep track of, so I tend to install them in /lib instead of /usr/lib. I found that to get NM working I needed to install a wpa_supplicant.service file for systemd. This file is not installed by the current blfs wpa_supplicant instructions, but the file can be found in the wpa_supplicant/systemd folder. This should be added to blfs. After this, all I needed was to install the networkmanagement package for kde to get a nice gui and NM can manage my network connections automatically. I will make the mentioned modifications to blfs, if nobody objects... -Ragnar- -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
