And, of course, right after I wrote this (while fiddling with splashy/grub 
because it apparently somehow killed compositing in X), the next reboot 
fixes network-manager.  I can't remember what I did before that reboot, 
since the last change I tried that failed...

Oh well.

Now the only thing is that knetworkmanager won't start automatically anymore 
(surely session halndling should remember it was there?)

Bug#530024: NetworkManager: no connection no matter what.

2009-12-10 Thread Adrian von Bidder
[please cc: me on replies]

Heyho!

Not sure if this is this issue (#530024) or a different one.

After the latest reboot I can not get nm (with knetworkmanager frontend) to 
manage my network in any way.

I tried various permutations of policykit being installed or not, nm-system-
settings.conf on  managed or not, entries in /etc/network/interfaces there 
or not.

At one time knetworkmanager did complain about (dbus) permissions, 
duplicatng the "at_console" policy into a group="netdev" section in 
/etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager-kde4.conf apparently fixed this.

Now I don't get any complaints that I can tell but knetworkmanager still 
tells me "network management disabled."  I'm a bit at a loss...

Any help appreciated.

killing and restarting knetworkmanager doesn't add anything to that (either 
in .xsession-errors, on the terminal or in syslog)

Kernel is 2.6.31-1-686 (tried 2.6.32-trunk but rt... whatever firmware
is not available yet...); rest of the system is basically squeeze with some
sid bits; originally updated from lenny.
