This issue has reappeared on my laptop. Don't know if I had problems when this bug was reported as I was away the whole month.
Trying to start nm-applet as desktop user yields the output from the original report. Starting nm-applet as sudo works. Have tried a purge/reinstall of network-manager and network-manager- gnome. network-manager version: 0.7~~svn20080818t061112+eni0-0ubuntu1 network-manager-gnome: 0.7~~svn20080817t183748-0ubuntu1 -- [[intrepid]] nm-applet can't start: permission issues https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/249404 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
