[solved] Network manager error

I installed network manager as the wiki says, added myself to the network group and added the policy kit file. When I did this process on my main box, it worked perfectly, but on my laptop running largely the same things (except 32 bit not 64) I'm getting a little authentication box whenever my network interface comes up, asking for root's password. I put it in, and it instantly says it disconnected. If I run nm-applet from a terminal, I get this error after typing in root's password:
Gkr-Message: secret service operation failed: The name org.freedesktop.secrets was not provided by any .service files
I'm using xfce if that makes any difference. Anyone got anything I can try?
Oh and the only reason I'm using NM is because I'm sick of wicd deciding HERP DERP IMA DISCONNECT RIGHT NOW and then not connecting again afterwards. Though since NM isn't working I have to use wpa_supplicant and dhcpcd directly myself.
EDIT: Ooops, this is the wrong section Could a mod please move it to Networking?

Now I find gnome-keyring is not installed. That should be made a dependancy for network manager. I also (thanks to that thread) double checked I had the file the wiki said I needed to create, and it turns out I made a typo with my extension. It had .plka instead of .pkla XD Mah bad! So now I just need to get wpa_supplicant to connect one more time and I should be good to go

[SOLVED] Network manager only works as root

Hello everyone,
I am brand new to arch and have been quite impressed over the past few days over all it has to offer. Everything has been running quite smoothly and I am now in the process of setting up wireless. I installed network manager and was able to connect to a wireless network as root. For my regular user, however, I am running into some issues. First one was that the nm-applet could not be opened in fluxbox. I received the following error:
** (nm-applet:1576): WARNING **: <WARN> request_name(): Could not acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings service.
Error: (9) Connection ":1.27" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings" due to security policies in the configuration file
I "fixed" this by adding the following to /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-applet.conf. Original credit goes to the user in this thread (I only slightly modified his code): https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=63576

<policy user="myusername">
<allow own="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings"/>
<allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings"/>
<allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings"/>
<deny send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSetting.Secrets"/>
</policy>

Now the applet shows up for my regular user, the problem being that it doesn't connect to the wireless networks (only wired). Whenever I try to connect to wireless, nothing happens (the symbol doesn't change in any way, i.e. the green spheres should start circling); I am still able to succesfully connect to wireless using root. Does anyone know what the source of this issue may be? Thank you very much in advance.

Solved: Had to install consolekit and add "ck-launch-session" to my .xinitrc file when starting fluxbox.
Edit: Please note that this also allowed me to remove the previous change to nm-applet.conf (no longer necessary)!

[SOLVED]Network Manager dispatcher unexpected unmounting davfs folders

I have used Network Manager dispatcher to configure automatic mount of cloud storage using webdav. i have used davfs2 to perform mounting and wrote a script for NM dispatcher.
If i run /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/10-YandexDisk.sh manualy all works perfect.
If this script will be executed by NM-dispatcher all will fine(YandexDisk mounts successfully, sycronization - successfully), but after ~10 seconds mount.davfs gets signal 15.

I solved the problem. Here is a little explanation.
After NetworkManager establishes network connection, NetworkManager-dispatcher service is started( for ~10 seconds). This service execute /usr/lib/networkmanager/nm-dispatcher.action, which execute scripts in /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d. After exiting nm-dispatcher.action mount.davfs process appears in NetworkManager-dispatcher`s CGroup. By default all processes in CGroup must be killed when service stops. To change this behavior I have added KillMode=process to [Service] section of NetworkManager-dispatcher.service file.
sudo nano /usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager-dispatcher.service
Here is it`s code now.
[Unit]
Description=Network Manager Script Dispatcher Service
[Service]
Type=dbus
BusName=org.freedesktop.nm_dispatcher
ExecStart=/usr/lib/networkmanager/nm-dispatcher.action

Update your system - "pacman -Syu". The clue is that the file you manually downloaded is different to the one pacman is trying to get.

[SOLVED] Network Manager cannot connect to wifi after suspend

Hi,
There appears to be similar threads recently, but they relate to no wifi at all. I did some updates today, and now if I suspend or hibernate, network manager cannot reconnect to my wifi. It will (after a while) ask me to authenticate, but still fails. Nothing works except a reboot where it connects without issue.
It was fine yesterday, has only started today. Here is my pacman log for today's updates:

For those using the arch repo kernel the next release will solve this issue. So I suggest waiting for this (no more than a few days) and use the LTS kernel in the meantime (or using a fixed ath9k module if already built).
Thanks for that heiko. I thought that would be the case, hence I just waited.
Will mark this as solved.

[SOLVED] Network Manager: Connecting...

Hello Arch Community!
After three months wihout any Arch System I have switched from Ubuntu back to Arch.
It seems that everything is working without any issues.
One of my little problem is the program NetworkManager. Under GNOME 3.8, MATE and all other desktop environment using it, it only shows "Connecting". It seems to be connected because I can access the internet over my WPA2 encrypted wireless network. I have activated it with systemctl enable NetworkManager.service and installed the applet with pacman -S network-manager-applet. Under Ubuntu it worked without any problems but under my three Arch systems (Raspberry Pi, Sony Vaio VPCF13E4E and Acer Aspire One 725) it only shows connecting. If I run an Arch based distro from a live USB it works there too so there could be something wrong configured. If I start the network manager applet via the terminal it shows no errors.
If you need more information please ask for it (it would be nice if you could tell me the Terminal command because I have forgotten many terminal commands while using Ubuntu ).
Thanks in advance!
To98
EDIT: I have switched to Debian unstable (and stable on my Netbook) because next week school starts and I have no time to fix all my problems with Arch (I have no clue why I have those problems, because Arch worked always "out of the box" on my devices...).
Thanks for the great time with Arch and the great Arch community. I think Debian is also a good choice and with backports I can have the newest software on Debian stable.

[SOLVED]Network Manager Applet and nmcli failing after GCC upgrade

Hi All,
So I went to update my system today and there were only like 8 or 9 updates. Like many other people I had an issue with gcc and pacman. To fix this I ran
pacman -S gcc
Then I ran:
pacman -Su
which updated pacman itself. On reboot though I noticed network manager applet was unable to find any of my network devices despite the fact that network manager was running and I had an IP address. I killed nm-applet and re-ran it and it spewed errors about not being able to connect to network manager. I tried running nmcli and it did the same thing. However, when I run nmcli as root it works. Looking at the arch wiki they suggest you be a part of the wheel and network group which I made sure I was. Everything was working up until I ran those two updates though. Anyone else have this happen or have any idea what is wrong?
Thanks,
Hemmar
EDIT: Never mind - a patch was released for consolekit which fixes the problem.

Hi guz46
I have already tried removing the ! and the same thing happened ... but I realised today that I was being automatically connected to "Auto eth0" despite there being no cable present. When automatic connection was disabled on "Auto eth0" my 3G connection (ppp0) connected fine.
Could you clarify that the preferred set-up in the /etc/rc.conf for the interfaces is without the !. The Wiki for networkmanager says to disable them, but then states that some may need to be reenabled with no explanation. The purpose of this confuses me!
Thanks for you help anyways,
Scott
EDIT:
I appear to have fixed my problem with the auto connection on the various interfaces by updating my /etc/rc.conf file to:
#Static IP example
#eth0="dhcp"
ppp0="dhcp"
wlan0="dhcp"
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(ppp0 wlan0 eth0)
Thus ensuring that I can connect in order of preference.

[SOLVED] Network Manager Applet

One of the things I got used to from Ubuntu is the network manager applet, which allows managing connections with ease. As instructed in the Wiki, I tried installing it with the following commands:
pacman -S networkmanager
pacman -S network-manager-applet
And then launched it by typing
nm-applet
But this comes up in the terminal:
(nm-applet:1518): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_visual_get_red_pixel_details: assertion `GDK_IS_VISUAL (visual)' failed
(nm-applet:1518): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_visual_get_green_pixel_details: assertion `GDK_IS_VISUAL (visual)' failed

** Message: applet now embedded in the notification area
** Message: applet now removed from the notification area
In the notification area the icon looked like it was going to show up, but it's removed immediately.
I'm not even sure if I can connect to a wireless connection without this, can I? I wouldn't mind using a different method for connecting to my wireless connection, just as long as it works and it automatically connects when I login. So if anyone has got a better idea, please share it with me. In the mean time, what would I need to do to fix this and have the network manager applet working?

It worked excellently! I also added networkmanager to the daemons array and it loads on boot now, which is great.
No problem. Glad to help. As karol said the wiki has many tips and tricks for almost anything that you need to get your system up and running. Make sure to read through the rest of the networkmanager one in regards to gnome-keyring, groups, etc.. Take care and welcome to Arch Linux Forums.

[SOLVED] Network Manager systemd unit fails after update

EDIT: Reinstalling libnm-glib resolved this issue
After updating to the latest version of NetworkManager (networkmanager-0.9.8.10-3), the systemd unit fails to start. It works fine after downgrading back to the previous version though (networkmanager-0.9.8.10-1). I'm not sure if this is a bug or an error on my end; since the previous package works I've just dowgraded for the time being. For the update that doesn't work, here is the output of "systemctl status" and the systemd journal:

[SOLVED] Network Manager with iPhone 3G S

OK, so work got me a shiny new iPhone 3G S today. When I'm being paid to play with it, I'll give it a shot
Anyway, I've successfully paired the iPhone over bluetooth with Arch on my laptop, which creates the bnep0 network interface. If I run dhcpcd on this interface, the iPhone gives me a DHCP lease in the 192.168.20.x subnet, and after configuring the opendns nameservers, I'm successfully tethered to the iPhone with full network connectivity
Is there a way I can get Network Manager to do the 'dhcp' and 'nameserver' parts for me? In the nm-applet GUI, there's no option for specifying interfaces or anything just "wired" (eth0) and "wireless" (wlan0) as well as the VPN, 3G etc tabs.
Also (I know someone wants to mention this), I am already aware that bluetooth is going to be speed limiting, but this connection will generally only be used for SSH sessions back to the office, so I don't really care about that. I'm happy to use bluetooth to reduce the number of cables required - already have external mouse, external hard drive, power supply and serial cable when I'm at a client site, I don't really want a USB cable to the iPhone as well. Unless Network Manager can't do this over bluetooth, but it can over USB, then I'll concede on the extra cable.

Here's instructions for Ubuntu, I doubt there will be many discrepancies between Ubuntu and Arch though. Just translate the apt-get crap with the appropriate yaourt or pacman command.
http://undulynoted.net/2009/06/tether-i … -required/
Ubuntu:
Why oh why does apple hardware suck so hard with linux. You will get constant disconnects if your phone is more than a few feet away from the computer. But alas, it is still faster than pdanet or iphonemodem2.
If you are not on a mac congratulations, you have had fewer headaches.
Open the terminal and type:
sudo apt-get install blueman bluez-compat
This will remove wcid which hopefully isn't a problem for most of you.
It will ask you to restart, please do.
Once Ubuntu is back up click on your bluetooth icon in the upper right (which is now managed by blueman)
IMPORTANT: Right click on the bluetooth icon and choose local services. Make sure to click the radio box that says "Network manager" instead of "blueman" under the network pane. This will allow Network Manager to take over the controlling of your connection (which is good). REBOOT AFTER THIS STEP!
Go to the bluetooth settings in your iphone (Settings > General > Bluetooth) and make sure they are on.
Hit the search button in blueman and you should see your iphone after a few seconds.
WARNING: This is where it gets flaky on the macbook pro. Best results I have has is to highlight the phone in blueman and hit "Bond"
Choose to auto generate a pass on the next option. Next. Now wait for the iPhone to ask you to type in the passphrase. Type in the 4 digit one that blueman gives you. VERY IMPORTANT. While they are joining eachother keep you eye on the computer. It will ask you if you always want to trust the iPhone (device name). Hit Always or else you will have trouble.
Always initiate the connection from the iPhone. In the bluetooth settings on the iphone you will now see your computer name listed and the words "not conencted" next to it. Click it. Wait a few and it will hopefully say connected. Look back to blueman and you will now see status bars on the iphone. Right click on your iphone in blueman. Choose "Setup". Network access point is click by default so just hit "Next".
Now head over to Network Manager and you should see "Auto benp0″. Click it to connect and give it a few to generate an IP. DONE enjoy surfing the internet through your data plan without jailbreaking. I have noticed quite a few speed gains over pdanet. Also, i noticed I got better results when i used openDNS's servers (208.67.220.220 and 208.67.222.222).
If you have done everything correctly and Network Manager won't take over the connection of you can see it and it says "not managed" or something of the sort you need to check out the following:
Open terminal and type: sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
see if you have bnep0 located there. if you do, comment out or delete that line. and reboot your machine.

[SOLVED] Network Manager confusion on reading WiKi

I have installed KDE DE...I am unable to start the network through NM...
On going thru Arch Wiki , https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager
I understand that there are 2 NMs available..One is for GNOME but works in all DE (backend), Other is "Knetworkmanager" which is for KDE.(backend)...
The frontend GUI is Gnome- applet and KDEplasme-applet
It is stated under KDE 3.5 , that Knetworkmanager is not supported but available in AUR...
My doubt is as follows
1. What should I install for KDE backend? --- Gnome Networkmanager or Knetworkmanager (Is the version for 4.4 & above supported?, wiki is silent on this)?
2. For Frontend should I install the Plasma widget or the GNOME applet?
3. If backend is GNOME network manager will it work with KDE plasma widget (front end) ?
4. In /etc/rc.conf , in "DAEMONS = " should I give "knetworkmanager" or "networkmanager" If I install the KDE version?
I had installed WIcd to test my settings...It was working initially after typing
modprobe b43 <for bcm chipset>
/etc/rc.d/network start
/etc/rc.d/dbus restart
/etc/rc.d/wicd start
ifconfig wlan0 up
dhcpcd wlan0
wicd-curses
Then I typed the network pwd and booted my interface.
i wanted to go in for network manager as it would save me the typing time..(Currently I installed pacman -S networkmanager (GNOME version) and KDE plasma "the one with the icon similar to "m")But on selecting the interface it goes thru Activating Interface and then says "Network Connection failed"
Now I am also not able to get wicd up
Any pointers?
EDIT ---The title says Graphical Front end managers, So I guess there is only one backend....In that case , why is my Network not working??All the wireless are detected ,so there is no problem with firmware....I have also enabled dhcpc (automatic)...So it shld fetch an IP address....dunno what the problem is..

1. there is just one, networkmanager. network-manager-applet and kdeplasma-applets-networkmanagement are just front-ends to networkmanager.
2. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … nager#KDE4 , but https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … ager#GNOME will work too. I use network-manager-applet on KDE 'cause the KDE front-end can't set a system connection.
3. I won't even bother to answer to this.
4. networkmanager!!!

if you are using networkmanager you must the networkmanager daemon, not network. replace network with networkmanager in rc.conf in DAEMONS array.

[SOLVED] Network Manager & Arch Way

Hi All
I am a noob Arch user. I installed Arch with Gnome 3 recently. I used to manually connect to WiFi for the first few days (just for fun) and then I decided to go with the netfcg+newlan way. I found it to be really slow. I then decided to take the information on Arch Wiki (that says network manager is faster) and installed network manager + nm-applet. I had no issues with WiFi configuration. Everything works for me. But I don't know what network manager is doing. I can know that if I want to. But why use a tool that hides things from me. Philosophically speaking, isn't network manager against the true Arch way? What do experienced Arch users think of this?

I did install it and it has been "bothering" me that I don't know whats behind this GUI. I simply clicked a few buttons and the network connected. Thats awesome. But I left ubuntu for the same reason: I don't know whats going on. I don't want to be dumbed down. On the other hand, I really did not like the netcfg way. It is slow. And since this is my laptop which I sometimes take to school, I want the ability to connect to different networks (with different security types, especially WPA). So netcfg with net-profiles seems like a good option (or network manager). There was no comment on the wiki about the speed of Wicd: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wi … nt_methods
According to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=117754 Wicd is better. But once again no comment on the speed. I want internet as soon as the laptop boots. Network manager does that. But to me, as a purist, its not in the Arch way. I want something with more control and more configurability.
So once again: Is Wicd faster than network manager?

[SOLVED] Network Manager / nm-applet problems on fresh installation

I have just carried out a fresh re-installation of Arch on my old netbook, following a self-inflicted crash!
Previously, networking worked perfectly, but since the new installation, nm-applet is behaving strangely.
All connections (wired and wireless) seem to work OK, but when connected wirelessly, the nm-applet constantly shows the "searching" icon, and hovering over it, the message "Requesting a Wi-Fi network address for '<wlan name>'" is displayed. The Network Connections screen says that the Wi-Fi connections has never been used, despite the fact that it works!
I have tried re-configuring the connections, disabling IPV6 (this stops everything working) and completely uninstalling/re-installing Network Manager and nm-applet, but all without success.
I would be very grateful fo any ideas of how to tackle this problem
Many thanks in advance.

I have fixed the wpa_supplicant problem (changed the .conf file), but the problem still persists. I have even carried out a full re-installation in case I did something stupid.
Nnmtui shows "connecting" permanently, and nm-applet shows "Requesting a Wi-Fi network address for '<wlan name>'" with the cycling connecting icon.
Despite this, the wireless connection seems to work!
Can anyone suggest what else to try?

[SOLVED] Network Manager not working after disabling GDM daemon

Morning All,
1st post so go easy on me.
I have recently setup Arch on a Samsung Q320 notebook, using GNOME DE and enabling gdm. Everything is working fine installed network manager no probs it connects to wireless network each time I login, really impressed with the distro. However I have been playing around with it a bit and when a disable the 'gdm' daemon by prefixing it with '!' in /etc/rc.conf, then reboot then login in with username & pw, and 'startx' GNOME DE starts fine however network manager fails to start, it is still located in the preferences menu I can open it and see the networks I have created previously however cannot join any of them. Can shed any light on the situation.
Cheers
Chris

I was originally not in the network and networkmanager group but tried adding myself in the course of reading your post, because I thought maybe that could be the reason, but it didn't change anything
I had to create the networkmanager group because it was not existent but https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Groups#Groups says this group should exist.
