Package: network-manager-kde Version: 0.09+0.1r577960-1 Severity: grave Michael,
It would appear that knetworkmanager requires root access to function correctly. I'm not sure if you are using with sudo or something similar, but as configured out of the box with vanilla NetworkManager I find I require to use kdesu to run: I have two interfaces on my machine, neither managed via /etc/network/interfaces: eth0 wired & eth1 wireless: Example 1: Running knetworkmanager as a normal user: (screen shot attached) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ knetworkmanager QSettings::sync: filename is null/empty QSettings::sync: filename is null/empty Error requesting name, org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Connection ":1.68" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo" due to security policies in the configuration file [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ error updating device error updating device error updating device error updating device error updating device error updating device error updating device error updating device Example 2: Running knetworkmanager with root via kdesu: (screen shot attached) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ kdesu knetworkmanager QSettings::sync: filename is null/empty QSettings::sync: filename is null/empty [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ Also if I run under kdesu, then logout and logback in, the session manager restarts kdenetwork manager with only user permissions which doesn't work. Perhaps you need to amend the menu entry to run under kdesu? Or suid (bad) or something?
