This makes my day, 'cause I had the same issues (but knowing nothing about D-Bus before I'd loaded this distro a couple of weeks ago) was sure it was my fault! The rest of us Debian/Ubuntu people trying to use the SVN are going to be glad once it's all figured out! -Kenny -- Kenneth R. Crudup Sr. SW Engineer, Scott County Consulting, Los Angeles O: 3630 S.

That might explain why while those packages loaded OK and I could see the wired and wireless networks, it couldn't connect to any of my WPA2 access points. I've given up on NM anyway- I've just taken to running wpa_supplicant and dhcpcd by hand, which works reliably. -Kenny -- Kenneth R.

Thanks! Ubuntu and eebian can share the same .deb packages, right (individual distro changes/customizations notwithstanding, of course)?

Any success stories with latest SVNs on Ubuntu 8.04?
... anyone? I've been pulling SVN regularly, applied all the Ubuntu-specific patches or changes I could find, and yet I can't get this thing to let me select what wired or wireless network I want via nm-applet. All I get are grayed-out entries for "Wired" and "Wireless Networks", nm-applet sometimes saves the networks I create, and sometimes not, and in either case nm-applet doesn't see them as connection possibilities. I used those files Tambet sent me and they're not seen by nm-applet. I've even gone so far as to change anything that says "deny" related to NM in /etc/dbus-1/system.d to "allow", nothing. If anyone's got this running the SVN stuff running on a recent Ubuntu build, *please* let me know. I've been doing SW for a long time, but I'm stuck. /etc/network/interfaces is wiped out save "auto lo". Is there anything more to pull down than gnome-common, NetworkManager and network-manager-applet? I do have a wired connection and it's running, but it didn't come out of being selected by nm-applet. Also, why is it constantly trying to "start the supplicant" (even on an active wired connection), and evidently failing (and I've updated wpa_supplicant to v0.5.10). Thanks guys, -Kenny -- Kenneth R.

(It's becoming obvious I couldn't have just scraped up an Ubuntu NM 0.7 up on my own w/o a lot of help.) My next stop was to grab some of the "rogue" .debs out there I've seen for NM 0.7.X and disassemble one- take it apart, see the installed files and the scripts then duplicate what I can. > You just won't get integration with the distro config tools and > whatnot, since the KeyFile plugin is a completely new config format.

Thank you very much for this; I think I might have found one problem.

Greyed-out "Wired/Wireless Networks" entries in NM
After having numerous issues with NM 0.6.6 that shipped with the Ubuntu 8.0.4 pre-release I'm running, I've grabbed the latest NM and nm-applet from SVN. However, while I can add wired and wireless networks via "Edit Networks", all the "network" entries when left-clicking on nm-applet are grayed out and I can't connect to anything. I'm running the absolute latest SVN (BTW, thanks for fixing that segfault from Tuesday, Dan!) and running nm-applet and NetworkManager with --no-daemon don't turn up anything much after startup, except quite a few of these: NetworkManager: Trying to start the supplicant... NetworkManager: Trying to start the system settings daemon... --- A couple of questions: - Should an "autogen"/"make"/"make" install on the various apps listed on the dev page (gnome-common/NM/nm-applet) be all that's necessary? I don't see where "NetworkManagerDispatcher" is being built, and I'm using the one from 0.6.6, which can't be right - I had to make the change in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-applet.conf to change the policy from "at_console" to "group=netdev" as I'd read on this list's archives. Is there anything else I'd need to do? -Kenny -- Kenneth R. Crudup Sr. SW Engineer, Scott County Consulting, Los Angeles O: 3630 S.
