ĸen, I believe you need to have Consolekit and Linux PAM. However, in the days I didn't, ISTR that testing that nm applet was not loaded (used pgrep -l nm, I think), then as root, I was able to run it to make what I wanted: sudo nm-applet. Just memories, so can be wrong. I imagine you start NM on boot? It is needed to be running before nm-applet. > > Got to finish my first backup before I do that, rsync has only been > running for about thirteen hours so far (using wired eth0 and nfs), > I expect it will take a lot longer - I seem to have 7.5GB used in > '/'. :-) -- []s, Fernando -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
