Re: knetworkmanager stopped working
When I start nm-applet from console, I receive the following error message: ** (nm-applet:8134): WARNING **: WARN applet_dbus_manager_start_service(): Could not acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings service as it is already taken. Return: 3 (nm-applet:8134): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed Was KNetworkManager running at the same time? Thank's everybody for help, I have solved my problem. In no way anybody in this list could guess the reason of the issue, but the guiding questions did help to find it. The reason of the problem was that I had networkmanager-kde4 plasmoid installed in my system. Even though I did not have it added to my deskop, it still somehow prevented knetworkmanager from working normally (and also nm-applet to start). I have removed the package from the system, and magically, all started to work - first, I was able to start nm-applet in kde, then I knetworkmanager again started to work. Just for history (if someone is interested or would ever find this thread while solving the same problem). I have came to this solution while trying to start nm-applet under kde. Initially, when I tried to start it in kde4, I did receive the above error message, so for clearance I have tried to start lightweight wm (icewn), did start nm-applet there and it worked (though my icewm does not have tray and I could not see the icon, but there were also no errors in the console output). Then I killed nm-applet, started knetworkmanager, started nm-applet and it did show the same error as described above, so I understood that knetworkmanager does prevent nm-applet from starting. But when I tried to repeat the same in KDE4, this did not work - I killed knetworkmanager, then I even removed it from the system and rebooted - nm-applet still could not start in KDE4. And then I have remembered about networkmanager kde4 plasmoid - that was the last thing is the system which could do lock resources from nm-applet, as knetworkmanager (kde3) did. I have removed this package from system and all works now. Thank's again ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

knetworkmanager stopped working
Hello,
I have posted this problem to opensuse mailing list, and then to the
kde-linux mailing list, but there were no response, and this list
seems to be the most relevant.
I have Opensuse 11 with kde4 and knetworkmanager 0.7r826733 from
opensuse repo and knetworkmanager stopped working for me.

Part1
I had to switch off the notebook in a bad way - by holding the power
key. After rebooting knetworkmanager
stopped connecting to wireless networks. I can see the network list,
but when I click on the network name
the tray icon just stays gray and nothing happens. It even does not
try to do anything - previously the tray icon changed to blue gear
at least for a half of second, even if the connection could not
be established - now it just remains gray all the time.
I did try to remove knetworkmanager config file from ~/.kde dir, tried
to login as another user, tried to remove
NetworkManager-kde package and install it again - nothing helped here.
I have installed gnome and tried its native networkmanaged applet -
this one did work. Knetworkmanager still does not.
--
Part2
Ok, I have started kneworkmanager from console. When I select network name
in the menu, I can see the message there:
Activate Connection
/org/freedesktop/NetworkManagerSettings/Connection/7 on Device
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/net_00_1f_3c_36_58_77
And nothing else happens - neither in the console, no in UI. So the gui does
react on my connection request, but somehow its HAL cooperation is broken.
Any ideas where to go further?
---
Part 3
As soon as nobody suggested a simple solution, I have decided to go deeper
I have compiled networkmanager from source code (I have taken the opensuse
src.rpm as svn version did not compile). Then I have found a file with
Activate Connection string - that was knetworkmanager-wireless_menuitem.cpp
This is this part of code:
void WirelessNetworkItem::slotActivate()
{
NMProxy* nm = NMProxy::getInstance();
int id;
QDBusError err;
if (_dev nm)
{
if ( _conn )
{
printf(Activate Connection %s on Device %s\n,
_conn-getObjectPath().data(), _dev-getObjectPath().ascii());
if (!nm-ActivateConnectionAsync(id,
NM_DBUS_SERVICE_USER_SETTINGS,
_conn-getObjectPath(),
QDBusObjectPath(QCString(_dev-getObjectPath())),
_conn-getObjectPath(), err)) {
printf(ActivateDevice failed\n);
} else {
printf(Device activated!!! \n);
}
...
---
Here nm-ActivateConnectionAsync(..) the main call - if it returns false
(device is not activated), the ActivateDevice failed message would be printed;
if it would return true (device is activated), nothing would be
printed by default,
but I have added another printf(Device activated!!! \n);, and in my case
I could see this message in the console output when tried to activate network
with knetworkmanager menu.
But even though it prints OK, the network is actually not activated - the
request went somewhere inside DBUS, the response is true, but
things still do not work.
So, it seems that the problem lays further at least somewhere at the DBUS level.
I have installed kdbus and could see
/org/freedesktop/NetworkManagerSettings and
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices
items there, but I do not know what to do further with them.
--
Please help, I just want my internet in kde4 back, I would appreciate any help,
probably the solution is very simple and does not require exploring the source
code and debugging with DBUS
Thank's
